Dear Superconductor Stockholder:

 

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce Clearday. It is our intent to develop a premier healthcare services company that supports elder Americans. Enclosed is the Joint Proxy and Consent Solicitation Statement / Prospectus (or Proxy) that discusses Clearday’s proposed merger with Superconductor and information about Clearday, including our businesses and information about the growing need for care for elder Americans. Clearday believes we can provide pathways to better care experiences. Clearday’s website is at mycleardy.com. Please note that the information contained on Clearday’s website does not constitute part of the joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Please review the enclosed Proxy, and also please note the additional information in the Proxy regarding the “true up shares” on the first page of the attached document under “Explanatory Note”, including the example that summarizes the combined effect of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the issuance of the true up shares. As explained in that section, each Superconductor stockholder (other than a dissenting stockholder) will hold, immediately after the merger, not less than approximately 46% of the number of shares of Superconductor Common Stock that such stockholder held immediately prior to the closing of the merger. For example, if a Superconductor stockholder has 500 shares of Superconductor Common Stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger, that stockholder will own no less than 232 shares of Superconductor Common Stock immediately after the merger is closed. Although on a stand-alone basis the reverse stock split is nominally at a higher ratio, taking into account both the “true-up shares” and the reverse stock split, their combined effect is equivalent to a reverse stock split that is not more than approximately 2.17 to 1. In the aggregate, the stockholders of STI will own approximately 3.6% of the total shares of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis as determined by the merger agreement, as of immediately after the merger is closed.

 

Clearday looks forward to the proposed merger and having the Superconductor stockholders as our stockholders.

 

  Best regards,
   
  James T. Walesa
  President and Chief Executive Officer
