(a) As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 12, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”), on January 9, 2015, voted to terminate Dr. William E. Shell’s employment with the Company. At that time, Dr. Shell also was removed as Chairman of the Board, but continued to serve as a director of the Company.

 

On February 26, 2015, the Company received a letter from Dr. Shell, pursuant to which he resigned as a member of the Board, effective 11:59 a.m. on that date (the “Resignation Letter”). The Company accepted Dr. Shell’s resignation upon receipt of the Resignation Letter. At the time of his resignation, Dr. Shell was not a member of any committee of the Board.

 

In the Resignation Letter, Dr. Shell stated that his resignation was due to numerous disputes and disagreement with the Board, the Company’s officers and management and significant corporate shareholders relating to the Company’s operations, policies and practices, including the use of corporate funds.

 

A copy of the Resignation Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 17.1 and the description of the contents of the Resignation Letter contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Resignation Letter.

 

In accordance with the requirements of Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, the Company has provided Dr. Shell with a copy of the disclosures that it is making in response to this Item 5.02 no later than the date of filing this Form 8-K with the SEC and will provide Dr. Shell with the opportunity to furnish the Company, as promptly as possible, with a letter addressed to the Company stating whether Dr. Shell agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 5.02 and, if not, stating the respects in which he does not agree.
