Expresses Disappointment with the Board’s Entrenchment Tactics, Including Its Recent Decision to Appoint a Director Without Consulting Stockholders

Camac Partners, LLC, affiliates of Concord Investment Partners Ltd., and Leonite Capital LLC (collectively with their affiliates, the "Investor Group" or "we"), who are collectively the largest stockholder of Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: KTTA) (“Pasithea” or the “Company”), today announced that they sent the below letter to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp.

1111 Lincoln Road, Suite 500

Miami Beach, FL 33139

Attn: The Board of Directors

Members of the Board of Directors,

As you’re aware, Camac Partners, LLC, affiliates of Concord Investment Partners Ltd., and Leonite Capital LLC (collectively with their affiliates, the "Investor Group" or "we") are collectively the largest stockholder of Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: KTTA) (“Pasithea” or the “Company”).

Earlier this month, we were successful in garnering support from our fellow stockholders to compel Pasithea to hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) at which stockholders will be able to remove the members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). We took this extraordinary step to call the Special Meeting because we lost confidence in the Board’s ability to be effective stewards of our capital, considering Pasithea’s stock price has fallen 83% since its initial public offering.¹ After many attempts to meaningfully engage with each of you, it became clear to us that this significant value destruction stems from a Board that ignores investor concerns, prioritizes related-party transactions and fosters anti-stockholder governance.

Today, we are writing to urge you to stop wasting stockholders’ capital and let our voices be heard: schedule the Special Meeting without further delay to ensure stockholder democracy can play out.

The Board’s recent actions indicate that it would rather dig its heels in than honor the will of stockholders. These actions include but are not limited to:

• Failing to engage with us before deciding to unilaterally add Alfred Novak to the Board on September 20^th in the midst of stockholder unrest;

• Failing to consult the Company’s own records when examining our Special Meeting request;

• Failing to appoint an independent inspector of election to properly and neutrally verify our Special Meeting request; and

• Refusing to set a date for the Special Meeting in a timely manner.

We also took notice that the Company disclosed in a recent Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that Executive Chairman Dr. Lawrence Steinman decided to resign from the Board’s audit committee. We are pleased that Dr. Steinman determined that stepping down from this position was in the Company’s best interest, considering his concerning track record of related-party transactions and our group sounding the alarm on his attempt to disenfranchise stockholders by issuing new shares representing nearly 20% of Pasithea.²

We firmly believe that removing the current Board will position the Company to enhance its corporate governance, improve capital allocation and unlock significant value for all stockholders. We urge you – as directors with fiduciary responsibilities – to concede to stockholders’ will and hold the Special Meeting without further delay. We will not be deterred by your attempts to maintain control and intend to facilitate boardroom change at Pasithea. Stockholders have been forced to accept sustained underperformance and waste for too long and deserve better.

Sincerely,

***
