 these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split and making payment for fractional shares. If a stockholder holds shares of Cara common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee. Registered Holders of Common Stock in Book-Entry Form . Certain of Cara’s registered holders of common stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with Cara’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. These stockholders do not hold physical stock certificates evidencing their ownership of Cara common stock. However, they are provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of Cara common stock registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with Cara’s transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-reverse stock split shares or payment in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable. If a stockholder is entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of Cara common stock held following the reverse stock split.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Registered Holders of Common Stock in Certificate Form . As soon as practicable after the split effective time, Cara’s stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Stock Split has been effected. Cara expects that the Cara transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-split shares held in certificated form in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by Cara. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s) and should not submit any certificate(s) unless and until requested to do so.**

#### Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-split shares
