Dear Stockholder,

You have likely seen multiple notices that Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: TMBR) has an upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 17, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 20, 2023, by and among us and LEO US Holding, Inc. and LEO Pharma A/S.

The approval of the Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our common stock as of the close of business on September 7, 2023. So failure to vote your shares will count as a vote AGAINST the Merger Proposal.

We continue to URGE you to vote FOR approval. We believe it is the best, and maybe only, way to generate value for our shareholders and to deliver the benefits of our therapies to potential patients.

If we cannot consummate the Merger, we will continue to lack sufficient capital to operate our business and to repay the secured Bridge Loan entered in connection with the Merger. As a result, we will likely be required to seek the protection of the bankruptcy courts and, without additional funding or a strategic transaction, we would likely be delisted from the NYSE American Stock Exchange. This would prevent our shareholders from realizing the value that the Merger offers.

John Koconis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Timber, said “the importance of completing the ASCEND Phase 3 program of topical isotretinoin in patients with moderate to severe congenital ichthyosis is critical for the patients who would benefit from the use of TMB-001 as well as to the future success of Timber. Congenital ichthyosis is a disease without any FDA approved medical options in the United States and much of the world. Investors in Timber can play an integral part in helping children and adults with this rare but debilitating disease. Children will not be mocked at school and on social media for their appearance or their smell; adults and children will finally have the chance to play out in the sun with other people without worrying about an inability to sweat leading to heat exhaustion and/or death.”

“The approval of the Merger Proposal will provide the necessary capital to expand treatments to people who currently have limited options that are safe and effective. To date, we have been able to demonstrate excellent safety and tolerability, patient-reported efficacy with TMB-001 and evidence that the way that TMB-001 is absorbed into the skin has the potential to reduce the prevalence of side effects identified with many other retinoids. Approval of the Merger Proposal will give these patients opportunities that those without ichthyosis take for granted and will allow Timber to consider expanding these programs into different forms of ichthyosis as well as other rare skin diseases.”

/s/ John Koconis
