INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Section 8

The board of directors (the “Board”) of VirtualScopics, Inc. (the “Company”) approved August 13, 2013, as the date of its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held in Rochester, New York. The Board also fixed the close of business on June 26, 2013, as the record date for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

Because the date of the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days after the anniversary of its 2012 Annual Meeting, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. In order for a stockholder proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be considered timely, it must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices at 500 Linden Oaks, Rochester, New York 14625 no later than the close of business on June 28, 2013. Any such proposals must also comply with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding inclusion of stockholder proposals in proxy materials, and any such proposal may be omitted if not in compliance with the applicable requirements.
