YOUR VOTE IS CRUCIAL AS WE’VE ALMOST REACHED OUR TARGET!

LESS THAN 2% AWAY FROM ACHIEVING OUR GOAL. EVERY VOTE COUNTS!

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

We have adjourned the special shareholders meeting regarding the proposed merger transaction between The Female Health Company (FHC) and Aspen Park Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (APP) to October 31, 2016 in order to provide additional time for shareholders to vote.

Your vote is crucial as we’ve almost reached our target.

Approximately 65 percent of all the FHC outstanding shares have voted FOR the three proposals that remain subject to voting and we need a little less than 67 percent for approval. So we’re basically a little less than two percent away from achieving our goal.

Regardless of how many shares you own, your vote matters. Please note:

•

Of the votes cast to date, approximately 80% have voted in favor of each the three proposals requiring a super majority approval;

•

Two leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholders Services Inc. and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC have recommended that shareholders vote FOR all three of the proposals still open for consideration by shareholders; and

•

Failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “against” the three proposals.

FHC’s Board of Directors believes the merger is a remarkable opportunity to add multiple near-term products with extremely large market opportunities and transform our company into a more profitable and rapidly growing entity. We continue to urge shareholders to vote FOR the three proposals requiring a super majority approval.

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

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

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.

We need your vote. For your vote to count, you must vote by proxy before, or in person at, the special meeting of stockholders on October 31, 2016. Any shares for which votes are not cast will be treated as a “no” vote. 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.

If you haven’t received your proxy materials and voting instructions either electronically or in the mail, we urge you to contact your broker if you have one. Alternatively please feel free to contact Michele Greco at The Female Health Company, 312-213-9859, mgreco@femalehealthcompany.com, and we will make certain that you get the proxy materials and voting instructions.

If you need additional assistance, please contact FHC’s proxy solicitor:

D.F. King & Co, Inc.

Toll-Free: 866-751-6309

It is critical that you cast your vote for the future of FHC.

Please vote today.

Sincerely,




O.B. Parrish		Mitchell Steiner, M.D.
FHC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer		APP Chief Executive Officer
