EXPLANATORY NOTE





Evolus, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) on Form 10-K/A to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2019 (the “Original Filing”), solely to revise the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to the Original Filing, which inadvertently omitted certain language regarding internal control over financial reporting required to be included by Item 601(b)(31)(i) of Regulation S-K. Pursuant to Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations 246.13 related to Regulation S-K, the Amendment contains only the cover page, explanatory note, the exhibit index, signature page and paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 of each of the certifications.





The Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing and, other than the filing of the corrected certifications mentioned above, does not modify or update the disclosures in the Original Filing in any way. Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.
