THE FEMALE HEALTH COMPANY ANNOUNCES ADJOURNMENT OF SPECIAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS TO SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

—Three Proposals Have Received Required Majority Vote,

Three Other Proposals Close to Receiving Required Super Majority Vote—

Chicago — September 20, 2016 – The Female Health Company (FHC) (NASDAQ-CM: FHCO) today announced that the Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for today to vote on six proposals related to the proposed merger with Aspen Park Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (APP) has been adjourned to Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 10 a.m. Central Time at 150 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 310, Chicago, Illinois, 60601.

A majority of the outstanding shares have voted FOR all six of the proposals. However, a super majority (66 2/3 percent) is required for three of the proposals and the votes to date in favor of these three proposals do not constitute a super majority. To date more than 60 percent of the outstanding shares have voted in favor of each of the three proposals that require super majority vote. The other three proposals have received the required majority of the votes cast including a vote on adjourning the meeting to solicit additional proxies for any proposal that did not receive the requisite vote. The proposal on adjourning was approved at the meeting and no longer needs to be considered by FHC shareholders.

“We adjourned the Special Meeting of Shareholders in order to provide additional time for our shareholders to vote,” said O.B. Parrish, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FHC. “No changes will be made to the remaining proposals to be voted on by shareholders at the reconvened special meeting. The Board performed a thorough review of strategic alternatives and believes the merger is a remarkable opportunity to transform FHC into a more profitable and rapidly growing entity.”

“Based on voting to date there is clearly great support for the proposed merger,” said Mitchell Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of APP and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company upon completion of the merger. “We are absolutely dedicated to making this merger happen and will continue our efforts to urge all shareholders, especially those that have not yet voted, to vote FOR the remaining proposals.”

The FHC Board of Directors continues to recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals.

During the adjournment, shareholders of record on July 28, 2016 are entitled to and are being requested to vote. FHC’s proxy statement and any other materials filed by FHC with the SEC can be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or FHC’s website at www.femalehealth.com/investors/merger-documents.

Shareholders are reminded that their vote is important and are encouraged to vote at their earliest convenience. Shareholders who have already voted do not need to recast their votes. Proxies previously submitted will be voted at the reconvened meeting unless properly revoked. Shareholders who have not already voted or wish to change their vote are encouraged to do so using the instructions provided in the definitive proxy statement.

The failure to return the proxy, or vote at the special meeting in person, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the three proposals requiring a supermajority vote. FHC shareholders seeking copies of


the definitive proxy statement or with questions about the special meeting may contact FHC’s proxy solicitation firm, D.F. King, Inc., at toll-free (866) 751-6309, or at 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10005.

To vote, you will need the control number which appears on your proxy card. If you have not received the proxy materials and voting instructions, either electronically or in the mail, contact your broker, if you have one, or Michele Greco at The Female Health Company, 312-213-9859, mgreco@femalehealthcompany.com.

Below are two convenient ways to vote. FHC highly recommends shareholders vote electronically or by phone. Please have your control number ready while voting. The control number is located on your proxy card.

 

  1. Through the Internet, by visiting a website established for that purpose at www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions; or

 

  2. By calling the toll-free number 1-800-690-6903 in the United States, Puerto Rico or Canada on a touch-tone phone and following the recorded instructions.
