Dear Valued Shareholder,
I am reaching out to thank you for your investment in Evofem Biosciences (Nasdaq: EVFM).
I am also contacting you because the Company has adjourned a Special Meeting of Stockholders to Wednesday December 15, 2021, and I want to encourage you to vote your shares of Evofem.
The primary purpose of this meeting is to seek stockholder approval to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to authorize additional shares of our Common Stock. This approval is of great strategic importance, as we believe it will provide the Company with needed financial flexibility to execute our growth strategy, including ongoing commercialization of Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate), our FDA-approved hormone-free, on-demand contraceptive, and completion of our Phase 3 clinical trial of this same drug for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women and to otherwise continue our planned operations.
I am pleased to share with you that we are seeing tangible results of our investments in Phexxi:
Total Phexxi prescriptions are on track to surpass 30,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021, representing ~ 70% growth from third quarter prescription levels.

We expect that more than 57,000 women will have chosen Phexxi from launch through year-end 2021, including almost 24,000 women in the fourth quarter alone.

Gross revenues are on track to increase more than 50% from the third quarter. We believe this is proof that women are seeking non-hormonal birth control as standard of care.

As a shareholder, you should expect to see continued improvement in our gross-to-net. Based on the increasing demand for Phexxi, we expect to meet or exceed the current analyst consensus estimate of net revenue in the fourth quarter. We are also diligently reducing our quarterly net cash burn rate and expect it will decrease by at least $10 million from Q3 levels starting in the fourth quarter of 2021.



As CEO, I want to assure you that my team and I are committed to strategic execution that we believe will enable a strong finish to 2021 and position us for continued growth in 2022.
At this time, it is our understanding that your EVFM shares have not yet been voted.
Today, I am asking for your continued support. Your vote on this crucially important matter will be greatly appreciated.
To vote the EVFM shares you held as of the proxy record date, November 7, 2021, please:
Send an email to ir@evofem.com and info@proxyadvisory.net. Your reply could be as concise as: “Please vote my shares FOR Evofem.”

Call 212-616-2181 –OR–

Send a text with your name to 203-767-0460.

Thank you in advance for taking action and voting your shares today.
Sincerely,
