ENTREMED, INC. 9640 MEDICAL CENTER DRIVE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND 20850 (301) 217-9858 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 6, 2002 The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Proxy Statement dated May 17, 2002 of EntreMed, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company previously furnished copies of the Proxy Statement to stockholders of record as of April 26, 2002. PROPOSAL 2 REVISION TO PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION In the Proxy Statement, the Company asked stockholders to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the numbers of authorized shares of Common Stock and shares of Preferred Stock. Upon further review of its current capital structure, the Company has concluded that, at the present time, it is not necessary to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company is revising Proposal 2 to ask stockholders to approve only an increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 35,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares. No increase in the current authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock is being sought. As revised, Proposal 2 will be as follows: 2. To approve an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value, from 35,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares, increasing the total authorized capital stock from 40,000,000 shares to 95,000,000 shares; The Company is not adopting this revision to Proposal 2 in response to any opposition to Proposal 2 as originally set forth in the Proxy Statement. In addition, the Board of Directors is not presently contemplating any transaction that would result in the Company's issuing any of the additional shares of Common Stock contemplated by this proposal. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 2, AS REVISED. VOTING PROCEDURES A duplicate proxy card or voting instruction form is enclosed with this Supplement. If you do not wish to change your prior vote, you do not need to take any further action. Your prior proxy will be voted in accordance with the directions thereon. A vote "FOR" or "AGAINST," or any abstention, on Proposal 2 will be voted as specified on the revised proposal. Any proxy as to which no direction is specified will be voted in favor of the actions described in the Proxy Statement, as amended by this Supplement. If you wish to change your vote with respect to Proposal 2 or any other matter discussed in the Proxy Statement or this Supplement, you may do so by submitting a later dated proxy card or voting instruction form or attending the Annual Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and voting in person. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on this matter is necessary to approve Proposal 2. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote "against" this proposal. Brokers who hold shares for customer accounts in "street name" generally will be permitted to vote uninstructed shares on Proposal 2, as revised. Accordingly, the revision to Proposal 2 may facilitate stockholder approval of the amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you currently own. SINCE THE TIME IS EXTREMELY SHORT, WE URGE YOU TO FOLLOW ANY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET VOTING INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE ENCLOSED WITH THIS SUPPLEMENT. ADJOURNMENT OF MEETING In order to permit its stockholders to consider Proposal 2, as revised, the Company intends to adjourn the Annual Meeting solely with respect to Proposal 2. The Annual Meeting will reconvene with respect to Proposal 2 at 9:00 a.m. on June 24, 2002 at the Company's executive offices located at 9640 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850. The voting on Proposal 2 will remain open during any adjournment of the Annual Meeting. OTHER MATTERS Since the mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Company has engaged The Corporate Governance Group of Strategic Stock Surveillance, LLC, for a fee of $6,000 plus customary disbursements, to assist with the solicitation of proxies. 2 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
