 fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; (3) the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation paid to certain officers and (4) the approval of an amendment to our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

These proposals are described in detail in the accompanying Notice of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

Only Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 22, 2025, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

SWK Holdings Corporation is following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Notice and Access” rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials by posting them on the Internet. As a result, we are mailing to our Stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the Notice, instead of a paper copy of the accompanying Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, (the “2024 Annual Report”). We plan to mail the Notice on or about April 29, 2025, and it contains instructions on how to access both the 2024 Annual Report and accompanying Proxy Statement over the Internet. This method provides our Stockholders with expedited access to proxy materials and not only lowers the cost of printing and distribution but also reduces the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. If you would like to receive a print version of the proxy materials, free of charge, please follow the instructions on the Notice.

#### Your vote is important.
Whether you plan to attend our Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares are represented. To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please vote as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, by submitting your proxy via the Internet at the website provided on the proxy card or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card. Even if you have voted by proxy, you may still vote at the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder .

Thank you for your continued support.

| Sincerely,         |
