SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025

 

This proxy statement supplement dated August 19, 2025 amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, or the Proxy Statement, filed by Semler Scientific, Inc., or Semler Scientific, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on July 17, 2025, for Semler Scientific’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast at a unique link to be received after registering at https://web.viewproxy.com/Semler/2025. This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. Other than as set forth below, no changes have been made to the Proxy Statement.

 

Appointment of Proxy Solicitor

 

Subsequent to filing the Proxy Statement, on August 13, 2025, Semler Scientific engaged Alliance Advisors LLC, or Alliance Advisors, an independent proxy solicitation and corporate governance advisory firm, to assist with vote monitoring and the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. Alliance Advisors may solicit proxies by telephone, email, or mail. Semler Scientific has agreed to pay Alliance Advisors a fee of $15,000, plus additional fees and expenses, for its services, and Semler Scientific will bear all proxy solicitation costs.

 

As previously disclosed, 2024 was a transformational year for Semler Scientific. In May 2024, Semler Scientific adopted Bitcoin, or BTC, as its primary treasury reserve asset and it has strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term investment potential. Semler Scientific considers Bitcoin to be digital gold, and believes that Bitcoin has significant upside when considering its massive discount to the value of gold. Semler Scientific is determined to build one of the largest Bitcoin treasuries in the world, and in June 2025 announced its long-term BTC accumulation targets:

 

·10,000 BTC by the end of 2025

 

·42,000 BTC by the end of 2026

 

·105,000 BTC by the end of 2027

 

Proposals 3 and 4 on the agenda for the Annual Meeting are critical to supporting this strategic direction.

 

·Proposal 3: To approve the amendment of Semler Scientific’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Restated Certificate, to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 50,000,000 shares to 210,000,000 shares.

 

·Proposal 4: To approve the amendment of the Restated Certificate to authorize the issuance of 42,000,000 shares of “blank-check” preferred stock.

 

These proposals will provide the flexibility to:

 

·raise capital efficiently based on evolving market conditions;

 

·execute its long-term Bitcoin accumulation plan; and

 

·enable a broader range of financial instruments, including preferred stock with customizable terms.

 

This flexibility is essential to fueling Semler Scientific’s long-term growth and achieving scale as a Bitcoin treasury company, and you are encouraged to vote “For” these proposals and the other proposals described in the Proxy Statement.

 

Please note that any proxy card that you received has not changed and may still be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. If you have already submitted your vote, you do not need to take any additional action. Information on how to vote your shares and how to change your vote or revoke your proxy is contained in the Proxy Statement. Stockholders are urged to vote their shares prior to the Annual Meeting using one of the methods described in the Proxy Statement.
