 saved KemPharm from bankruptcy and gave it the ability to execute a strategic pivot into rare diseases. That pivot included the acquisition of arimoclomol—a transaction conceived, negotiated, and executed under Dr. Mickle’s leadership. The arimoclomol program ultimately resulted in the FDA’s approval of MIPLYFFA™ in 2024, the Company’s most valuable achievement to date. Reducing this history to a stock price percentage is not only intellectually dishonest—it deliberately ignores the realities of market timing, sector-wide upheaval, and the leadership required to preserve the Company through crisis. It was that leadership—Dr. Mickle’s leadership—that positioned the Company for long-term value creation. Time for Change is Now Fortunately, this year you have the power to effect change at Zevra by voting for directors of the Company other than the members of the current Board of Directors. Specifically, we offer you a choice—an ability to vote for two exceptionally qualified director nominees who have the skills and commitment to help maximize stockholder value and realize Zevra’s true potential. 9 This campaign is the result of careful consideration of the factors hampering Zevra’s potential under its current Board of Directors and lack of governance and the belief that adding the Nominees to the Board of Directors would bring sorely needed governance and be an effective contribution towards enhancing key strategic, operating and financial capabilities that would in turn improve stakeholder value.

To the extent it is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law, the Proponent reserves the right to nominate substitute nominees if the Company makes or announces any changes to its Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any of the Nominees. Additionally, if any Nominee (or substitute nominee) is unable or unwilling to stand for election for any reason at the Annual Meeting, the Proponent intends to nominate a person in the place of such
