Dear Lipocine Inc. Shareowner:

Support Shareowner Proposal #4 Requesting Majority Vote

We urge shareowners to support proposal #4 at the company’s June 12, 2019 Annual General Meeting. As of record date April 15, 2019, CalPERS owned approximately 46,000 shares of Lipocine Inc. common stock. As a long-term shareowner of the company we ask that you support our non-binding shareowner proposal requesting the Board of Directors amend the company’s governing documents to allow for a majority voting standard in director elections, while retaining a plurality vote standard for contested director elections.

Majority Vote for Director Elections is Becoming Widely Accepted

Plurality voting is rapidly being replaced with majority voting in uncontested director elections as a growing number of large companies have adopted it as a corporate governance best practice. Approximately 92% of the companies in the S&P 500 and 47% of the companies in the Russell 3000 have adopted some form of majority voting – an indication of the current direction of good corporate governance.

A Plurality Vote Standard Disenfranchises Shareowners

CalPERS believes that a plurality voting standard effectively disenfranchises shareowners when directors run unopposed. Under the existing plurality standard, uncontested director nominees can be elected with a single “For" vote, leaving votes “Withheld” with no legal effect whatsoever. While under the CalPERS majority vote request, director nominees would need to be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting. Majority voting would give shareholders a meaningful voice in determining who will represent them on the board.

Support Proposal #4 requesting Majority Vote for Director Elections

We believe a majority vote standard is essential to a sustainable system of governance that fosters director accountability and long-term value creation. Fully accountable governance structures through the adoption of majority vote should be in place to offer shareowners a meaningful voice in the director election process.  Please vote “FOR” shareowner proposal #4.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact Todd Mattley, CalPERS Associate Investment Manager at Engagements@calpers.ca.govor 916-795-0565.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
