SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 14, 2019
This supplement revises the Definitive Proxy Statement, dated January 1, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”), previously furnished to stockholders of PLx Pharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on February 14, 2019. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” refer to the Company. References in the Proxy Statement to the Special Meeting also refer to any adjournments, postponements or changes in location of the meeting, to the extent applicable.
Annex A
After filing the Proxy Statement, the Company discovered that, due to a clerical error, an incorrect version of the form of charter amendment attached asAnnex A was inadvertently filed with the Proxy Statement. While Proposal 1 regarding the approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 1,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock reflected the Company’s intention that our Board of Directors be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by our stockholders, the filed version ofAnnex A inadvertently did not include such statement.
The purpose of this supplement is to replace the form of Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that was set forth asAnnex A to the Proxy Statement with the followingAnnex A (with additions indicated with italicized text):

Conclusion
This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which remains unchanged in all respects except for the revisions set forth in this supplement. To the extent that information in this supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this supplement controls. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this supplement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
If you have already voted your shares and do not wish to change your vote on Proposal 1, no further action is necessary. You do not need to submit a new proxy card unless you wish to change your vote on Proposal 1. All validly executed proxy cards or votes cast via the Internet or telephone at any time (either prior to or after the date hereof) indicating a vote for or against Proposal 1 will be deemed to constitute a vote for or against approval of Proposal 1 as revised and described in this supplement. If you have already voted your shares and you wish to change your vote on any matter, you may revoke your proxy before it is voted at the Special Meeting by: (1) sending written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary; (2) submitting a new, proper proxy dated later than the date of the revoked proxy; or (3) attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. If you beneficially own shares held in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the Special Meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described above. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.
The date of this supplement to the Proxy Statement is February 13, 2019.
