SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

 

This proxy statement supplement (“Proxy Supplement”) updates the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A of Leap Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) dated April 29, 2024 and made available to shareholders in connection with its annual meeting of shareholders to be held on July 2, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). Except as specifically described in this Proxy Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and this Proxy Supplement does not modify, amend or supplement the Proxy Statement.

 

This Proxy Supplement is being filed solely to correct an administrative oversight on the proxy card that previously was furnished to shareholders. Specifically, Proposal No. 1 of the proxy card regarding the election of directors incorrectly gave shareholders the option to cast “For”, “Abstain” or “Withhold” votes. Instead, Proposal No. 1 should give the voting options “For” or “Withhold”. Accordingly, the Company is providing a revised proxy card to its shareholders as of the record date. The proxy statement explains the effects of “For” or “Withhold” votes cast with respect to Proposal No. 1 in a manner consistent with the revised proxy card. Shareholders of record may change their votes at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 1, 2024 for shares held directly.
