To our Stockholders:

        You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the stockholders (the "Special Meeting") of TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("TetraLogic") on December 29, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), to be held virtually, via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLOG2016.

        At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

        After careful consideration, our Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined that the Asset Sale and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement are advisable to, and in best interest of, TetraLogic and its stockholders. Our Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the Asset Sale.

        The enclosed Notice of Special Meeting and proxy statement explain the Asset Sale and provide specific information concerning the virtual Special Meeting. Please read those materials (including the pro forma financial information and annexes) carefully. If you wish to vote at the virtual Special Meeting and you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" through a bank, broker, or other intermediary, please contact your bank, broker, or other intermediary to obtain evidence of ownership and a legal proxy.

        Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. The Asset Sale must be approved by the holders of at least a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon. Therefore, if you do not return your proxy card or attend the virtual Special Meeting and vote, it will have the same effect as if you voted "AGAINST" the Asset Sale. Broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Asset Sale.

        Only stockholders who owned shares of TetraLogic's capital stock at the close of business on November 22, 2016, the record date for the virtual Special Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

        To vote your shares, you may return your proxy card or voting instruction form in the postage-paid envelope or instruct us by telephone or via the Internet as to how you would like your shares voted. You may also vote over the Internet during the virtual Special Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting, we urge you to promptly submit a proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card.

        I hope you will participate in the virtual Special Meeting.

    Best regards,

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL: ASSET SALE

Q:    Why did the Company enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement?

A:
Our Board's decision to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement was based on a careful evaluation of (i) our future prospects, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, indebtedness and operating results, (ii) the fully negotiated and final terms offered by Medivir for the purchase of substantially all of our assets, (iii) the terms for the partial conversion of the Senior Notes into Preferred Stock, (iv) the alternatives potentially available to grow our business on a standalone basis, (v) the lack of alternative buyers willing to acquire all or part of our business or merge with our Company, (vi) the lack of financing sources to fund our continued operations, including capital markets financing or debt financing, and (vii) the Board's determination that the purchase price offered by Medivir was fair value for substantially all of our assets.

Q:    What will happen if the Asset Sale is approved by our stockholders?

A:
If the Asset Sale is approved by the requisite stockholder vote and the other conditions to the consummation of the Asset Sale are satisfied or waived, we, together with TetraLogic R&D, will sell substantially all of our assets used in the Business to Medivir on the terms set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Q:    What will happen if the Asset Sale is not approved?

A:
Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, if we fail to obtain a stockholder vote in favor of the Asset Sale Proposal, the Asset Sale will not occur. We currently have no revenues. We had approximately $5.334 million in available cash left on October 29, 2016, and we expect that our available cash balance at the time of the Special Meeting will be approximately $1.522 million on December 29, 2016. If the Asset Sale does not close, we will not have sufficient cash to meet our ongoing obligations, including the amounts due on the remaining Senior Notes. Unless we can procure new financing from our holders of the Senior Notes or otherwise, we will have to file for bankruptcy and liquidation, in which event the available cash on hand will be used to pay the costs of liquidation and bankruptcy first and then distributions to the holders of the Senior Notes will be made followed by distributions to the holders of Preferred Stock, if any. As a result, there may never be any, or may be very little, recovery to the holders of our Common Stock.

Q:    What is the purchase price to be received by the Company?

A:
The purchase price to be received by the Company in the Asset Sale will consist of (i) $12 million payable in cash at closing plus an amount equal to the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial currently estimated to be $275,000, plus (ii) additional milestone payments based on the development and commercialization of our product candidates by Buyer and earn-out payments based on annual net sales of birinapant. Buyer will also assume all the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase

12


Table of Contents

Q:    What are the other material terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement?

A:
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains other important terms and provisions, including the following:

We have agreed to indemnify Buyer and certain of its related parties for losses resulting directly from (i) any assets and liabilities that are not being assumed by Buyer or the conduct of the Business prior to the closing of the Asset Sale, (ii) the breach by the Company or TetraLogic R&D of any of its respective covenants set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, (iii) the breach by the Company or TetraLogic R&D of any of its respective representations or warranties set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (iv) the development, manufacture, use, sale, storage or handling of a drug substance or a drug product prior to the closing of the Asset Sale by the Company and TetraLogic R&D or their affiliates or their representatives, agents or subcontractors, or any actual or alleged violation of law resulting therefrom. In each case, indemnification does not apply to any loss to the extent such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Buyer or its affiliates.

We have agreed to conduct our Business in the usual, regular and ordinary course and are subject to certain other restrictions on the Business conducted by us and our affiliates during the period between the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Asset Sale;

The obligations of Buyer and the Company to close the Asset Sale are subject to several closing conditions, including the approval of the Asset Sale by our stockholders and holders of the Senior Notes, as well as obtaining certain third party consents;

The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us or Buyer in certain circumstances, in which case the Asset Sale will not be completed; and

From the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement until the closing of the Asset Sale, we may not solicit any inquiry or proposal or engage in any discussions with any third party in connection with any possible proposal regarding a sale of the Business or any similar transaction except that prior to the approval of the Asset Sale by our stockholders, we may pursue discussions with third parties that have made an unsolicited transaction proposal which our Board believes, after consultation with outside legal counsel and our financial advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal. In the event we terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement to accept an unsolicited superior offer from a third party, or we breach our covenants regarding third party proposals, or if Buyer terminates the Asset Purchase Agreement because we pursued an alternative transaction in the exercise of our Board's fiduciary duties, Buyer will be due a termination fee totaling $1,300,000 plus expenses incurred in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and Asset Sale.

Q:    If consummated, how will the proceeds from the Asset Sale be used?

A:
The Company, and not the Company's stockholders, will receive all of the proceeds from the Asset Sale. $12 million of the Closing Payment from the Asset Sale will be used to redeem $12 million in aggregate principal amount of the remaining Senior Notes pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement. The remainder of the Closing Payment will be used to pay the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial currently estimated to be $275,000. Any future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used first to pay all remaining accrued but unpaid obligations under the remaining Senior Notes until paid in full.

Q:    Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the Asset Sale?

A:
Our stockholders are not entitled to seek appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Asset Sale.

Q:    Are there any risks related to the Asset Sale?

A:
Yes. You should carefully read the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 16.

Q:    What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale to U.S. stockholders?

A:
Our U.S. stockholders will not realize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale. See "Proposal: The Asset Sale—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale" beginning on page 35.

Q:    Are any governmental approvals required in connection with the Asset Sale?

A:
We believe we are not required to obtain any material governmental consents or approvals before the consummation of the Asset Sale. If any approvals or consents are required to consummate the Asset Sale, we will seek such consents or approvals as promptly as possible.

Q:    When is the closing of the Asset Sale expected to occur?

A:
If the Asset Sale is approved by our stockholders and all conditions to completing the Asset Sale are satisfied or waived, the closing of the Asset Sale is expected to occur shortly after the Special Meeting.

        The consummation of the Asset Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the approval of the Asset Sale by our stockholders and holders of the Senior Notes and consents of certain other third parties. We cannot guarantee that the closing conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement will be satisfied. If we are unable to satisfy the closing conditions in Buyer's favor or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, Buyer will not be obligated to complete the Asset Sale. If the Asset Sale is not completed, our Board, in discharging its fiduciary obligations to our stockholders, will evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our stockholders as the Asset Sale and may include a bankruptcy and liquidation of the Company.

The entire Closing Payment will be used to partially redeem our Senior Notes and pay certain clinical trial expenses and will not be distributed to stockholders, and there may be no other recovery for any of our stockholders if we receive no Contingent Payments or only a limited amount of Contingent Payments.

        If the Asset Sale is consummated, $12 million of the Closing Payment for the Business will be paid to the holders of the remaining Senior Notes then outstanding pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement in redemption of $12 million in aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes. The remainder of the Closing Payment will be used to pay INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial. There will therefore be no distributions to the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock with the closing cash proceeds from the Asset Sale.

        Following the consummation of the Asset Sale we will no longer have any employees or operations and will only have very limited assets (including approximately $1.522 million in cash (assuming a closing of the Asset Sale on December 29, 2016) and the contractual right to potentially receive Contingent Payments). We will also have no revenues following consummation of the Asset Sale. Our sole source of future revenues will be the Contingent Payments. We will continue to have $29,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes remaining outstanding, approximately $1,895,833.61 in accrued but unpaid interest on the Senior Notes (assuming a closing of the Asset Sale on December 29, 2016), as well as 12,222,220 shares of Preferred Stock with priority rights on any future distributions of cash of the Company over the holders of Common Stock.

        Any future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used first to pay all remaining accrued but unpaid obligations under the Senior Notes until paid in full. Thereafter, all future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts on the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

        There are no guarantees that we will receive any Contingent Payments or that any amount of Contingent Payments we receive is enough to satisfy all amounts owed under the Senior Notes and the Preferred Stock and therefore there may be no recovery for our common stockholders following the consummation of the Asset Sale.

There can be no guarantees that we will receive any Contingent Payments.

        Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we will earn milestones based on the development and commercialization of our product candidates and earn-out payments based on annual net sales of birinapant. Buyer has no obligations to achieve those milestones or sales. Because of the developmental state of our product candidates, there are high risks related to the commercialization of our product candidates and there can be no guarantees that any of the milestones or sales targets set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement will be achieved and that we will receive any future Contingent Payments. In addition, any future Contingent Payments may be further reduced by any amounts payable by us under our indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

There can be no guarantee that Buyer will comply with its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts in connection with the clinical trials of our product candidates.

        Buyer has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take certain steps in connection with three clinical trials of our product candidates. Although the results of these clinical trials may contribute to achieving the milestones and/or annual net sales of birinapant, there is no guarantee that Buyer will take the steps set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement or that such trials, if completed, will result in the successful commercialization and sales of our product candidates.

Our holders of Senior Notes and Preferred Stock will have priority over the Common Stock on distributions following consummation of the Asset Sale

        Any future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used first to pay all remaining accrued but unpaid obligations under the Senior Notes until paid in full. Thereafter, all future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts on any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock accrues dividend at a rate of 8% per annum. Dividends are cumulative and compounding, whether or not declared by our board of directors and will accrue semi-annually from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock.

        After all accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts owed on the Preferred Stock have been paid in full, the holders of Preferred Stock will also be entitled to share equally with the Common Stock on any additional dividends or other distributions on an as-converted basis.

        As a result, there may never be any, or may be very little, recovery to the holders of our Common Stock.

The Asset Purchase Agreement limits our ability to sell the Business to a party other than Buyer.

        The Asset Purchase Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for us to sell the Business to a party other than Buyer, including a non-solicitation provision and a provision requiring us to notify Buyer of any solicitation or offer made by any third party in connection with the sale of the Business or any similar transaction. These provisions could discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all of or a significant part of our Business from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the consideration to be paid by Buyer.

We may be required to pay a termination fee to Buyer if we breach certain covenants, accept an unsolicited superior offer, or pursue an alternative transaction in the exercise of our Board's fiduciary duties.

        In the event we terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement to accept an unsolicited superior offer from a third party, or we breach our covenants regarding third party proposals, or if Buyer terminates the Asset Purchase Agreement because we pursued an alternative transaction in the exercise of our

17


Table of Contents

Board's fiduciary duties, Buyer will be due a termination fee totaling $1,300,000, plus expenses incurred in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and Asset Sale.

Buyer is not assuming any of the excluded liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

        Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer is only assuming certain specific liabilities as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and is not assuming all of the liabilities associated with the Business. Certain liabilities will remain with TetraLogic post-closing. For example, Buyer is not assuming any liability relating to our current or former employees. While we believe that we have adequately accrued for these liabilities or are adequately insured against certain of the risks associated with such excluded liabilities, there can be no assurances that additional expenditures will not be incurred in resolving these liabilities.

The Asset Purchase Agreement may expose us to contingent liabilities.

        We have agreed to indemnify Buyer for certain breaches of representations, warranties or covenants made by us in the Asset Purchase Agreement. We have agreed that if we cannot pay our indemnification obligations, Buyer will have set-off rights against future Contingent Payments. Significant indemnification claims by Buyer could further materially and adversely affect our financial condition or further reduce any future Contingent Payments.

The announcement and pendency of the Asset Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect our financial condition or future strategic opportunities.

        The announcement and pendency of the Asset Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock and/or our relationships with partners and employees. In connection with the Asset Sale, we will be terminating all of our remaining employees by December 2, 2016. In addition, pending the completion of the Asset Sale, our management's focus and attention may be diverted from identifying strategic alternatives during the pendency of the Asset Sale.

        In the event that the Asset Sale is not completed, the announcement of the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement may also adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock on any trading market on which our Common Stock may be trading at the time, our relationships with partners (including the holders of the Senior Notes) and employees and/or our ability to pay our creditors.

        In the Note Exchange Agreement, the holders of Senior Notes have agreed to waive any put right in connection with the suspension of trading and delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market as well as any right to receive current cash payment of the interest on the Senior Notes, and agreed that such interest will instead be paid through the issuance of additional Senior Notes until paid. The holders of Senior Notes have also agreed to waive their right to convert the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock and to extend the maturity date of the remaining Senior Notes to June 15, 2024. These waivers and extensions are conditional on the consummation of the Asset Sale. If the Asset Sale is not consummated on or before January 31, 2017 or if the APA is terminated, such waivers and extension will be of no further force and effect as if they had never been provided. At that time, we would be in default under the indenture of the Senior Notes as a result of the delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market, effective November 24, 2016. The entire amount due under the Senior Notes could be accelerated by the holders of the Senior Notes upon such an event of default. Even if the holders of the Senior Notes waive such an event of default, we do not expect to have sufficient remaining cash on hand to make the next interest payment of the Senior Notes due on December 15, 2016 and will be in default then.

Following consummation of the Asset Sale, we may no longer be required to file reports with the SEC.

        We intend to file a notice terminating our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as soon as permitted under applicable law. Once effective, we may no longer be required to file any annual, quarterly or other current reports with the SEC. If we are no longer required to file reports with the SEC, stockholders will have very little public information available about us and our operations which will further affect the trading and liquidity of our Common Stock.

If the Asset Sale is not completed, we may be unable to successfully pursue strategic alternatives for our company or our product candidates.

        If the Asset Sale is not completed, we may not be able to pursue strategic alternative for our company and our product candidates because we will have limited cash and no revenues. The clinical development and potential commercialization of our product candidates requires significant capital. We had approximately $5.334 million in available cash left as of October 29, 2016. If the Asset Sale is not consummated, we would be in default under the indenture of the Senior Notes as a result of the delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market, effective November 24, 2016. In addition, we do not expect to have sufficient remaining cash on hand to make the next interest payment of the Senior Notes due on December 15, 2016 and will be in default. The entire amount due under the Senior Notes could be accelerated by the holders of the Senior Notes upon an event of default. Thus, if the Asset Sale is not completed, we may have limited alternatives, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our stockholders as the Asset Sale and may include a bankruptcy and liquidation of the Company.

        We will continue to require significant additional capital for the clinical development and potential commercialization of our product candidates. Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to the following factors:

If the Asset Sale is not completed, we may be unable to restructure our existing debt or raise additional capital to fund our operations and make payments on our existing indebtedness when due.

        In the Note Exchange Agreement, the holders of Senior Notes have agreed to waive any put right in connection with the suspension of trading and delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market as well as any right to receive current cash payment of the interest on the Senior Notes,

and agreed that such interest will instead be paid through the issuance of additional Senior Notes until paid. The holders of Senior Notes have also agreed to waive their right to convert the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock and to extend the maturity date of the remaining Senior Notes to June 15, 2024. These waivers and extensions are conditional on the consummation of the Asset Sale. If the Asset Sale is not consummated on or before January 31, 2017 or if the APA is terminated, such waivers and extension will be of no further force and effect as if they had never been provided. At that time, we would be in default under the indenture of the Senior Notes as a result of the delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market, effective November 24, 2016. The entire amount due under the Senior Notes could be accelerated by the holders of the Senior Notes upon such an event of default. Even if the holders of the Senior Notes waive such an event of default, we do not expect to have sufficient remaining cash on hand to make the next interest payment of the Senior Notes due on December 15, 2016 and will be in default then.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert our attention.

        We may be subject to securities class action litigation in connection with the Asset Sale. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from closing the Asset Sale, which could seriously harm our business.

If the Asset Sale is not consummated, we may not be able to develop and commercialize our product candidates.

        We do not have any products that have gained regulatory approval. Currently, our only clinical-stage product candidates are birinapant and SHAPE. As a result, our business is dependent on our ability to successfully complete clinical development of, obtain regulatory approval for, and, if approved, to successfully commercialize our product candidates in a timely manner. We cannot commercialize our product candidates in the U.S. without first obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA; similarly, we cannot commercialize our product candidates outside of the U.S. without obtaining regulatory approval from comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of our product candidates for any target indication, we must demonstrate with substantial evidence gathered in pre-clinical studies and well-controlled clinical trials, and, with respect to approval in the U.S., to the satisfaction of the FDA, that our product candidates are safe and effective for use for that target indication and that the manufacturing facilities, processes and controls are adequate.

        The interim clinical results from our birinapant Phase 2 MDS trial were disappointing. The results of our SHAPE Phase II study, while positive, were also not as clear as originally expected. Due to our limited cash and the lack of revenues, we do not have the capital necessary to continue funding the clinical trials necessary to continue the process of commercializing our product candidates.

If the Asset Sale is not consummated, we may not be able to acquire or license additional product candidates.

        If the Asset Sale is not consummated, our commercialization strategy for our product candidates may depend on our ability to enter into agreements with collaborators to obtain assistance and funding for the development and potential commercialization of the relevant product candidate in the territories in which we seek to partner. Despite our efforts, we may be unable to secure additional collaborative licensing or other arrangements that are necessary for us to further develop and commercialize our product candidates. Supporting diligence activities conducted by potential collaborators and negotiating the financial and other terms of a collaboration agreement are long, costly and complex processes with uncertain results. Due to our limited cash on hand and lack of revenues, we may not have the financial resources to engage in discussion with third parties regarding collaborative licensing or other arrangements.

Table of Contents

Our receipt of Contingent Payments will be dependent on the size and growth of the potential markets for the product candidates sold to Medivir in the Asset Sale, the rate and degree of market acceptance of the product candidates and Medivir's ability to serve those markets.

        Even if Medivir obtains regulatory approval of the product candidates sold to Medivir under the Asset Sale, these product candidates may not gain market acceptance among physicians, healthcare payors, patients or the medical community. Market acceptance of the product candidates, if Medivir receives regulatory approval, depends on a number of factors, including the:

        Moreover, if the product candidates are approved but fail to achieve market acceptance among physicians, patients, or healthcare payors, Medivir may not be able to generate significant revenues to trigger the milestone or earn-out payments, which would compromise our ability to receive our ability to receive any Contingent Payments.

Certain of our executive officers have interests in the Asset Sale that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.

        Certain of our executive officers have interests in the Asset Sale that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Such interest consists of severance amounts of up to $2,079,080.34 payable to terminated employees pursuant to their employment agreements, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. It is anticipated that such severance payments will be made from available cash on hand of the Company (and not the Closing Payment) upon the closing of the Asset Sale. Such severance payments will not be paid if the Asset Sale does not close. Therefore our officers have an interest in the closing of the Asset Sale.

Proxies; Revocation of Proxies

        If you are unable to attend the virtual Special Meeting, we urge you to submit your proxy by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If your shares of capital stock are held in "street name" (i.e., through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. If you elect to vote at the Special Meeting and your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions provided at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TLOG2016 for submitting a legal proxy from the record holder of the shares (or your broker, bank or nominee) authorizing you to vote at the Special Meeting.

        Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy card, all shares of capital stock represented by valid proxies will be voted "FOR" the Asset Sale Proposal and will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies in respect of such other business as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting other than the Asset Sale Proposal.

        You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Special Meeting by:

        Simply attending the virtual Special Meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy.

Adjournments

        The Special Meeting may be adjourned by the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting for any purpose, including for the purpose of obtaining a quorum or soliciting additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Asset Sale Proposal. Any adjournment may be made without notice. Any adjournment will allow our stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting as adjourned.

Broker Non-Votes

        Broker non-votes occur when a broker holding stock in "street name" does not vote the shares on some or all matters. Brokers are permitted to vote on routine, non-controversial proposals in instances where they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock but are not permitted to vote on non-routine matters. Uncast votes on non-routine matters are referred to as "broker non-votes."

23


Table of Contents

        In the event of a broker non-vote, such beneficial owners' shares will be included in determining whether a quorum is present, but otherwise will not be counted. Therefore, because the votes required to approve the Asset Sale Proposal are based on a percentage of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding, broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the Asset Sale Proposal.

Solicitation of Proxies

        This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by TetraLogic on behalf of its Board. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, e-mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These persons will not be paid any additional compensation for their efforts. We will also request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of our capital stock that the brokers and fiduciaries hold of record. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Questions and Additional Information

        If you have more questions about the Asset Sale Proposal or how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, please contact TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Attn: Secretary, Richard L. Sherman, in writing, at P.O. Box 1305, Paoli, PA 19301, telephone number at 808-554-7456.

PROPOSAL: ASSET SALE

        The following discussion is a summary of the material terms of the Asset Sale. We encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A, as it is the legal document that governs the Asset Sale.

General Description of the Asset Sale

        We have agreed to sell the Business to Medivir for a purchase price of (i) $12 million payable in cash at closing, plus an amount equal to the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial, plus (ii) milestone payments based on the development and commercialization of our product candidates by Buyer and earn-out payments based on annual net sales of birinapant. Medivir will also assume all of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) at the closing of the Asset Sale.

Background of the Asset Sale

        On January 7, 2016, we announced that in a placebo controlled Phase 2 study of birinapant co-administered with azacitidine in first line higher risk patients suffering from myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), birinapant did not demonstrate any clinical benefit over placebo on the primary endpoint of response rate after four months of therapy and met the bounds for futility and that, accordingly, the study would be terminated.

        Following these disappointing clinical results from our birinapant Phase 2 MDS trial, our Board began to evaluate our strategic alternatives. In order to conserve cash, on January 19, 2016, our Board authorized the implementation of a 19-person reduction in staff from 29 employees to 10 employees. Subsequently the Company terminated an additional two employees, bringing the total remaining to 8. These reductions included the termination of our chief Scientific Officer and Chief Operating Officer. In January 2016, our Board also retained Houlihan Lokey as financial advisor to provide financial advisory, restructuring and investment banking services in connection with analyzing and considering a range of transactional and strategic alternatives for us.

        Houlihan Lokey conducted an extensive sales process during which it contacted over 130 strategic and financial buyers for our company or assets. Twenty of the parties contacted executed non-disclosure agreements and conducted due diligence on our company. The offer from Medivir for the Asset Sale is the only offer we received after the extensive sales process run by Houlihan Lokey. In connection with the sales process, we have worked aggressively to manage our cash flows and reduce our cash burn, effectively reducing our operations to termination of the birinapant MDS trial and continuing the SHAPE Phase II study.

        Our initial discussions with Medivir pre-date the January 2016 announcement. In April of 2015, TetraLogic and Medivir began a scientific dialogue about our respective clinical programs as an initial step in trying to determine whether there were meaningful opportunities for scientific collaboration, co-development activities or possibly a future combination of the two companies. On June 16, 2015, the companies entered into a non-disclosure agreement in order to share additional information. After preliminary conversations it was decided by both parties that any further discussions should await the generation of additional clinical data on birinapant.

        On January 8, 2016 our Chief Financial Officer contacted Medivir's Executive Vice President of Business Development indicating that we would like to renew these discussions.

        On January 20, 2016, we received a notice (the "Initial Notification Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying us that we were not in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Initial Notification Letter stated that we had 180 calendar days, or until July 18, 2016, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). To regain compliance, the MVLS of our Common Stock was required to reach at least $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. As we had previously disclosed, a suspension of trading or delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market would be considered a fundamental change under the indenture for the Senior Notes and we could be required by the noteholders to purchase for cash all of the outstanding Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

        On January 28, 2016, we informed Medivir that we had retained Houlihan Lokey. On January 30, 2016, Dr. Tony Meehan (then our Vice President, Corporate Development and CMC) had a telephone discussion with Medivir's EVP of Business Development to explain the strategic process being conducted by Houlihan Lokey on our behalf. On February 2, 2016, the senior managements of TetraLogic and Medivir had an initial telephone meeting with Houlihan Lokey concerning that process. By February 24, we had delivered to Medivir all of the timeline and other documents related to conducting the process.

        On February 1, 2016, Medivir was given access to our updated electronic data room and begun extensive due diligence activities. On March 17, 2016 the parties had a full-day face-to-face meeting at Medivir's offices in Sweden. Attending for TetraLogic were our CEO, CFO and Vice President, Corporate Development and CMC. Our Chief Scientific Officer attended portions of the meeting by telephone. Medivir was represented by their CEO, CFO, EVP Research & Development, Director Clinical R&D, EVP Strategic Business Development and Director of Business Development.

        On February 23, 2016, we received separate letters (the "Additional Notification Letters") from Nasdaq notifying us that we are not in compliance with both the minimum bid price requirement for Primary Equity Securities (the "Minimum Bid Price") set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a Minimum Bid Price of $1.00 per share and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum MVPHS of $15 million. The Additional Notification Letters stated that we had until August 22, 2016, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(c), or be subject to delisting. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of our Common Stock would need to reach at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days by August 22, 2016, and the minimum publicly held market value of the Common Stock would need to reach at least $15 million for 10 consecutive business days by August 22, 2016.

        On March 9, 2016, Medivir informed us that they had retained Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") to advise them in connection with the transaction. On March 25, 2016 we received a non-binding letter of interest from Medivir and on April 1, 2016 EY and Houlihan Lokey had an initial phone conversation concerning that letter and further telephone conversations concerning process and potential terms of a transaction were held on April 5, 2017, April 7, 2016 and April 25, 2016 attended by management of both companies. No letter of interest was received by TetraLogic from any other third party at any time during the process.

        Because a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company would trigger an acceleration of the maturity of the Senior Notes unless waived by the noteholders, TetraLogic determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide the noteholders with certain information regarding the proposed asset sale. Accordingly, on or around April 11, 2016, the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of

27


Table of Contents

the Senior Notes and the law firm representing those holders. On April 12, 2016 the Company had an initial meeting with those noteholders. The Company included all material non-public information disclosed to such noteholders in its Form 10-Q filing on May 4, 2016. On July 5, 2016, the Company entered into a new confidentiality agreement directly with those noteholders. The Company has since entered into confidentiality agreements with holders of 100% of the outstanding Senior Notes.

        On April 23, 2016, the Company delivered to Medivir a term sheet proposing a possible structure and financial terms of an acquisition by Medivir of certain of the Company's programs and assets. On April 29th we received an initial revised term sheet in response and on May 12 and May 20, in emails from Medivir's EVP Business Development to our CEO, additional revised terms were proposed. On May 25, our CEO had a telephonic meeting with Medivir's CEO and EVP Business Development concerning the term sheet and on May 26, in an email from our CEO to them, certain revisions to the earn-out payment provisions of the proposal were presented.

        On June 7, 2016, the Company informed Medivir of top line results of the ongoing SHAPE Phase II clinical study, which, although positive, were also not as clear as originally expected. On June 15, Houlihan Lokey and EY met to discuss the terms of the proposed transaction in light of these results.

        On July 6, Medivir—in an email to our CEO—proposed additional revisions to the term sheet and in the next few days emails were exchanged in which TetraLogic requested and received certain clarifications about Medivir's proposals.

        On July 19, 2016, we received a delisting determination letter (the "Delisting Determination") from Nasdaq notifying us that we had not regained compliance with the minimum MVLS requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market and that unless we appealed, our Common Stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, trading of our Common Stock would be suspended at the opening of business on July 28, 2016, and a Form 25 would be filed with the SEC, which would remove our securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Global Market.

        The Company met with certain noteholders on July 20th after a confidentiality agreement had been executed by those holders in order to provide them with a more detailed update on the proposed asset sale and progress towards the execution of a definitive term sheet.

        On July 26, 2016, we requested a hearing to appeal the Delisting Determination.

        In an exchange of telephone calls and emails between our CEO and Medivir's CEO on July 25, July 26, August 10 and August 12, additional revisions to the term sheet were discussed and on August 12 Medivir proposed additional revisions to the proposed terms, which were approved by the TetraLogic Board at a meeting on August 17, 2016.

        An initial draft of the Asset Purchase Agreement was provided by TetraLogic to Medivir on August 19, 2016. Several revised drafts were exchanged and discussed by the parties and their advisors and counsel between September 8th and October 5th. Counsel for the noteholders provided the Company with their comments on, and proposed language for, certain sections of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

        On August 31, 2016, we received an additional delisting determination letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price and the $15 million MVPHS requirements of Nasdaq.

        On September 2, 2016, we received notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") had granted the Company's request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market subject to certain conditions, including the completion of a conversion of the Senior Notes into equity or entry into an

28


Table of Contents

agreement subject to shareholder approval to effectuate such conversion on or before October 15, 2016.

        On September 21, 2016, the Company provided an initial draft Note Exchange Agreement to counsel for the noteholders and on September 22, 2016, counsel for the Company provided an initial draft of a term sheet for the Senior Note exchange (the "Exchange Term Sheet") to counsel for the noteholders. Over the next few weeks, both documents were discussed several times among the Company, its counsel and counsel for the noteholders in parallel with the Asset Purchase Agreement.

        On October 13, 2016, counsel to TetraLogic provided drafts of the Exchange Term Sheet and Note Exchange Agreement to counsel for Medivir. On October 14, 2016, counsel to TetraLogic provided the draft Voting Agreement to counsel for Medivir. Counsel for Medivir was then regularly kept updated of the status of negotiations with the holders of Senior Notes over the next few weeks and indicated on various calls that Medivir expected the Note Exchange Agreement to be signed with the holders of Senior Notes concurrently with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

        On October 17, 2016, we requested another extension of the previously granted exception for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, which the Panel approved until October 31, 2016. On November 2, 2016, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it had determined to delist the Company's Common Stock and that it would suspend trading of the Company's Common Stock effective at the open of business on November 4, 2016. As a result of the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Note Exchange Agreement, the Company notified Nasdaq on November 2, 2016 of its intent to request a delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company filed a Form 25 for the delisting of our shares of Common Stock on November 14, 2016, which will become effective on November 24, 2016.

        Throughout the process, TetraLogic management kept the Board informed of the status of negotiations with Medivir and the holders of Senior Notes. Board meetings were held on April 5, May 4, May 16, June 6, July 12, August 11, August 17, August 30, October 24, October 27 and October 30, 2016 with numerous email and telephone updates to board members between those meetings. At the October meetings, the Board reviewed in detail the draft Asset Purchase Agreement and schedules thereto, as well as the Exchange Term Sheet, Note Exchange Agreement and conversion terms for the Company's Senior Notes, all of which were distributed to directors prior to the meeting.

        On October 30, 2016, after careful consideration, the Company's Board of Directors voted to adopt resolutions approving the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as the Exchange Term Sheet, Note Exchange Agreement with holders of 100% of the Senior Notes and the Voting Agreement, and determined that entering into these agreements was advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders.

        On November 2, 2016, the parties executed and delivered the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Voting Agreement and a binding agreement with the holders of 100% of the Senior Notes to enter into the Note Exchange Agreement. Prior to the opening of trading on the Nasdaq market on November 3, 2016, TetraLogic and Medivir each issued a press release announcing the transaction. In connection with the Asset Sale, we will be terminating all of our remaining employees (but not our officers) by December 2, 2016. The Note Exchange Agreement was executed by the holders of Senior Notes and the Company on November 14, 2016 and 12,222,220 shares of Preferred Stock were issued to the holders of Senior Notes in exchange for $2,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes on November 21, 2016.

Reasons for the Asset Sale

        Following the disappointing interim clinical results from our birinapant Phase 2 MDS trial, our Board began to evaluate our strategic alternatives. The results of our SHAPE Phase II study, while

29


Table of Contents

positive, were also not as clear as originally expected. Our Board retained Houlihan Lokey as financial advisor to provide financial advisory, restructuring and investment banking services in connection with analyzing and considering a range of transactional and strategic alternatives for us. Houlihan Lokey conducted an extensive sales process during which it contacted over 130 strategic and financial buyers for our company or assets. 20 of the parties contacted executed non-disclosure agreements and conducted due diligence on our company. The offer from Medivir for the Asset Sale is the only offer we received after the extensive sales process run by Houlihan Lokey.

        Our Board reviewed and discussed various options with Houlihan Lokey including whether to (1) pursue Medivir's offer, (2) pursue a standalone reorganization and attempt to convert the Company's outstanding Senior Notes into equity of the Company and attempt to raise additional capital to continue the development of SHAPE and/or birinipant or pursue a similar transaction, or (3) wind down operations, liquidate through a court proceeding and distribute the proceeds of the Company's assets to its creditors.

        Our Board determined that the Asset Sale was in the best interests of the Company's stockholders after careful consideration with Houlihan Lokey based on:

        In connection with the sales process, we will be terminating all remaining employees by December 2, 2016 and have worked aggressively to manage our cash flows and reduce our cash burn. We had approximately $5.334 million in available cash left as of October 29, 2016 and currently have no revenues. Our only operations currently consist of continuing completion of certain aspects of the SHAPE Phase II study.

The Note Exchange Agreement

        In connection with the negotiations of the Asset Sale, the Company engaged in simultaneous discussions with the holders of its Senior Notes to support the Asset Sale and agree to a partial conversion of the Senior Notes into Preferred Stock of the Company and certain waivers pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement. On November 14, 2016, we entered into the Note Exchange Agreement with the holders of 100% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes pursuant to which the holders of Senior Notes agreed to exchange $2,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes for 12,222,220 shares of our Preferred Stock. The exchange was consummated on November 21, 2016. Following the exchange, $41,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Senior Notes remain outstanding. In the Note Exchange Agreement, the holders of Senior Notes have agreed to waive any put right in connection with the suspension of trading and delisting of our Common Stock from The Nasdaq Global Market as well as any right to receive current cash payment of the interest on the Senior Notes, and agreed that such interest will instead be paid through the issuance of additional Senior Notes until paid. The holders of Senior Notes have also agreed to waive their right to convert the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock and to extend the maturity date of the remaining Senior Notes to June 15, 2024. These waivers and extensions are conditional on the consummation of the Asset Sale. If the Asset Sale is not consummated on or before January 31, 2017 or if the APA is terminated, such waivers and extension will be of no further force and effect as if they had never been provided. We have agreed pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement that upon consummation of the Asset Sale, $12 million of the Closing Payment will be promptly distributed in cash to the holders of Senior Notes remaining outstanding in redemption of $12 million in aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes, with the remainder of the Closing Payment being used to pay certain clinical trial expenses, and in priority to any payments to holders of capital stock, including the Preferred Stock. All holders of Senior Notes have consented to the Asset Sale in the Note Exchange Agreement and all holders of Preferred Stock have agreed to vote all of their shares of Preferred Stock at the Special Meeting in favor of the Asset Sale.

Description of Preferred Stock

        In connection with the Note Exchange Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Stock on November 18, 2016 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Certificate of Designation"). A summary of material privileges, rights and limitations is set forth below.

Dividends and Distribution Rights

        The shares of Preferred Stock entitle their holders to a preferred dividend when, as and if declared by our Board, at a rate of 8% per annum. Dividends are cumulative, and compounding, whether or not declared by our Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, and will accrue semi-annually from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable prior to and in preference to any payment of dividend on capital stock which ranks junior to the Preferred Stock, including the Common Stock (the "Junior Stock"). No dividends or other distributions or redemptions may be made on such Junior Stock prior to all accrued and accumulated dividends payments on the Preferred Stock having been made in full. After all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid on the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will also be entitled to any additional dividends or other distributions paid on the Common Stock in an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the amount paid or distributed per share of Common Stock as if the Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock.

Liquidation Rights and Rights Upon a Sale

        Upon (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, (ii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company with or into another person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), (iii) a sale, lease or transfer or series of sales, leases or transfers of all or substantially all of our assets or (iv) a change of control or other direct or indirect transfer of our securities such that after such transfer a person or group of related persons (other than holders of Senior Notes and their respective affiliates) would own directly or indirectly 50% or more of our outstanding voting stock (collectively, a "Liquidation"), after taking into account the costs of Liquidation and after all payments on any remaining outstanding Senior Notes have been made in full but before any payment is made to the holders of Junior Stock by reason of their ownership of such Junior Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of our assets legally available for distribution an amount per share of Preferred Stock equal to the sum of $.18 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions) plus any accrued and accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Liquidation Amount"). If, upon a Liquidation, our assets are insufficient to make payment in full of the Liquidation Amount to all holders of Preferred Stock, then such assets will be distributed pro rata among the holders of Preferred Stock based on their respective liquidation rights, and the Company shall not make or agree to make any payments to holders of Junior Stock.

        If, in any Liquidation, the amount of consideration received is in the form of milestone payments or earn-outs, such amounts (net of costs of Liquidation and after all amounts due under the Senior Notes have been paid in full) shall be promptly distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock as and when received by the Company or its subsidiaries until the Liquidation Amount owed to such holders is paid in full. After the Liquidation Amount has been paid in full on the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will also be entitled to any additional distributions paid on the Junior Stock in an amount per share equal to the amount paid or distributed per share of Junior Stock as if the Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock.

Conversion Rights

        Each outstanding share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof and without payment of additional consideration into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock during the period commencing on the business day immediately following the later of the date upon which (i) the shares of Common Stock have been deregistered under the Exchange Act, and (ii) the Company receives a milestone or earn-out payment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (or other payment in lieu thereof). Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of shares determined by the conversion ratio provided in the Certificate of Designation. Currently, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, dividends and equity issuances.

Voting Rights

        Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of Preferred Stock will vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our capital stock, including any vote submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock of the Company, in which case they will hold the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock would be converted into if converted as provided above.

        In addition, the Company will not be able to take any of the following actions without the consent of the holders of Preferred Stock voting as a single class with one vote per share of Preferred Stock: (a) create, or authorize the creation of, any additional class or series of capital stock of the Company (or any security convertible into or exercisable for any class or series of capital stock of the Company

32


Table of Contents

or any option or other derivative exercisable for such security) or issue or sell, or obligate itself to issue or sell, any securities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (or any security convertible into or exercisable for any class or series of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any option or other derivative exercisable for such security), including any class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks superior to or in parity with the Preferred Stock in rights, preferences or privileges (including with respect to dividends, liquidation, redemption or voting); (b) (i) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Company that is pari passu with the Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the Liquidation of the Company, the payment of dividends, anti-dilution protections, or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege, or (ii) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Company that is junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the Liquidation of the Company, the payment of dividends, anti-dilution protections, or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege; (c) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any series of Preferred Stock or authorize the issuance of or issue any share of Preferred Stock; (d) other than as contemplated by the Certificate of Designation, amend, alter, modify or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Certificate of Designation or the by-laws of the Company, including the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation by the adoption or amendment of any Certificate of Designation or similar document, or amend the organizational documents of any subsidiary of the Company; (e)(i) incur or issue, or cause any subsidiary of the Company to incur or issue, any indebtedness or debt security, other than trade accounts payable and/or letters of credit, performance bonds or other similar credit support incurred in the ordinary course of business in an amount less than $10,000 in a single transaction or series or related transactions and other than the payments provided by, or contemplated under, existing contractual agreements on the date of filing of the Certificate of Designation, or (ii) amend, renew, refinance, increase or otherwise alter in any material respect the terms of any indebtedness previously approved or required to be approved by the holders of the Preferred Stock; (f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or pay or declare any dividend or other distribution on (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for any such purpose) any capital stock of the Company other than (i) with respect to the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designation and (ii) as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation; (g) conduct any business other than (i) taking such specific actions necessary and appropriate or otherwise reasonably related to the exercise and enforcement of the Company's or its subsidiaries' rights arising under the Asset Purchase Agreement and other contractual agreements and arrangements to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or is bound or any of their respective assets is subjected; or (ii) actions reasonably related to the furtherance and/or implementation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; (h) increase or decrease the size of the board of directors of the Company; (i) declare bankruptcy, dissolve, liquidate or wind up the affairs of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; (j) effect, or enter into any agreement to effect, a change of control (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) except for the Asset Sale; (k) acquire, or cause a subsidiary of the Company to acquire, in any transaction or series of related transactions, the stock or any material assets of another person, or enter into any joint venture with any other person; (l) sell, transfer, license, lease or otherwise dispose of, in any transaction or series of related transactions, any assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including the sale, transfer, license, lease, assignment or other disposition of the Asset Purchase Agreement or any of the Company's rights arising thereunder, but excluding the payment of trade payables in the ordinary course and other payments or dispositions under contractual agreements and arrangements to which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a party or is bound or any of their respective assets is subjected, including under the Asset Purchase Agreement; (m) enter into, or become subject to, any agreement or instrument or other obligation which by its terms restricts the Company's ability to perform its obligations under the Certificate of Designation, including the ability of the Company to

33


Table of Contents

pay dividends or make any redemption or other liquidation payment required thereunder; (n)(i) list any of the Company's securities on any exchange, or (ii) register any such securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); or (o) agree or commit (in writing or otherwise) to do any of the foregoing.

Recommendation of Our Board

        The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by our Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes material factors considered by the directors. Our Board also considered other factors, including those described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this proxy statement, in deciding to approve, and unanimously recommending that our stockholders approve, the Asset Sale. In reaching its decision and recommendation to our stockholders, our Board did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. In addition, our Board did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to its ultimate determination, but rather conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above.

        After careful consideration by the Board, the Board unanimously approved the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby, and unanimously determined that the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement are advisable to, and in in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that stockholders approve the transaction as described herein.

Activities of TetraLogic Following the Asset Sale

        As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company will be terminating all remaining employees (but not officers), with all terminations expected to be completed by December 2, 2016. Following the consummation of the Asset Sale, we will no longer have any employees or operations and will only have very limited assets (including approximately $1.522 million in cash (assuming a closing of the Asset Sale on December 29, 2016) and the contractual right to potentially receive Contingent Payments). We will also have no revenues following consummation of the Asset Sale. Our sole source of revenues will be the Contingent Payments. We will continue to have $29,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding, approximately $1,895,833.61 in accrued but unpaid interest on the Senior Notes (assuming a closing of the Asset Sale on December 29, 2016), as well as 12,222,220 shares of Preferred Stock with priority rights on any future distributions of cash of the Company over the holders of Common Stock.

Use of Proceeds

        $12 million of the Closing Payment from the Asset Sale will be used to redeem $12 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement. The remainder of the Closing Payment will be used to pay INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial. Any future Contingent Payments, if received will be used first to pay all remaining accrued but unpaid obligations under the remaining Senior Notes until paid in full. Thereafter, all future Contingent Payments, if received, will be used to pay all accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts on the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. After all accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts owed on the Preferred Stock have been paid in full, the holders of Preferred Stock will also be entitled to share equally with the Common Stock on any additional dividends or other distributions on an as-converted basis.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale

        The following discussion is a general summary of the anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale. The following discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), its legislative history, currently applicable and proposed Treasury regulations under the Code and published rulings and decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and non-U.S. laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax, are not addressed in this proxy statement. The following discussion has no binding effect on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts.

        The proposed Asset Sale will be treated as a sale of corporate assets in exchange for cash. The proposed Asset Sale is a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon which we will recognize gain or loss. The amount of gain or loss we recognize with respect to the sale of a particular asset will be measured by the difference between the amount realized by us on the sale of that asset and our tax basis in that asset. The determination of whether we will recognize gain or loss will be made with respect to each of the assets to be sold. Accordingly, we may recognize gain on the sale of certain assets and loss on the sale of certain others, depending on the amount of consideration allocated to an asset as compared with the basis of that asset. Further, the sale of certain assets may result in ordinary income or loss, depending on the nature of the asset. The determination of whether TetraLogic will realize gain or loss on the Asset Sale and whether and to what extent TetraLogic's tax attributes will be available is highly complex and is based in part upon facts that will not be known until the completion of the Asset Sale. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Asset Sale will generate a U.S. federal income tax liability to TetraLogic; however, we believe our tax assets can be used to mitigate or eliminate any tax liabilities that may arise from this transaction.

        As part of the purchase price may be received in subsequent years, the Asset Sale will be taxed as an installment sale, unless TetraLogic elects out of installment sale treatment. Under installment sale treatment, the basis of the assets will be apportioned based on the expected maximum sales price, or if there is no maximum sales price that can be calculated, over the time period that payments are expected. If the maximum sales price is not received, TetraLogic may have a loss at the end of the period during which payments may be received.

        It is possible that TetraLogic may at some time in the future be a "personal holding company," as defined in the Code, if five or fewer persons hold more than 50% of the value of TetraLogic's stock and at least 60% of its income is passive for purposes of the personal holding company rules. However, TetraLogic expects to distribute any available income, after paying expenses, and therefore, does not expect to have to pay the additional tax that is imposed on undistributed personal holding company income.

        The proposed Asset Sale by TetraLogic is entirely a corporate action. Our U.S. stockholders will not realize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale. Distributions, if any, to our U.S. stockholders will be taxable as dividends, if made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits, a distribution will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder's basis in the stock and then, as gain from the sale of the stock.

Accounting Treatment of the Asset Sale

        During the third quarter of 2016, we identified an impairment indicator in the SHAPE Asset Group, which consists of the SHAPE indefinite-lived intangible asset and the related contingent consideration liability ("SHAPE Asset Group"), based on expressions of interest to acquire this asset group from third parties at amounts below the current carrying value. In addition, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement Medivir, subject to approval by the holders of the Seniors Notes and

35


Table of Contents

the stockholders entitled to vote, will acquire this asset group for a total consideration of (i) $12 million payable in cash at closing, plus an amount equal to the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing clinical trial currently estimated to be $275,000, plus (ii) milestone payments based on the development and commercialization of our product candidates by Buyer and earn-out payments based on annual net sales of birinapant.

        To estimate the fair value of the SHAPE Asset Group as of September 30, 2016, we used the $12 million cash purchase price from Medivir as our estimate of fair value, as all of the future milestones and earn-out payments that may be earned under the Asset Purchase Agreement are contingent on future events which are difficult to predict. We recognized an impairment charge of $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 based on the difference between the $12 million cash purchase price and the carrying value of SHAPE Asset Group as of September 30, 2016, and an income tax benefit of $2.3 million based on the reduction of the SHAPE indefinite-lived intangible asset. We do not anticipate any material gain or loss to be recognized in connection with the closing of the Asset Sale. We do anticipate the recognition of an income tax benefit of $14.6 million based on the reversal of the remaining deferred tax liability relating to the SHAPE indefinite-lived intangible asset at the time of the closing of the Asset Sale.

Appraisal Rights

        Stockholders may vote against the authorization of the Asset Sale Proposal, but under Delaware law appraisal rights are not provided to stockholders in connection with the Asset Sale.

Government Approvals

        We believe that the notification and waiting period requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), do not apply to the Asset Sale and that we will not be required to make any filings with the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division or the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). However, the FTC and the Antitrust Division frequently scrutinize the legality under the antitrust laws of transactions such as the Asset Sale. At any time before or after the consummation of the Asset Sale, the FTC or the Antitrust Division could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the transaction or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of Buyer, TetraLogic or their respective subsidiaries. Private parties, state attorneys general or foreign governmental entities may also bring legal action under antitrust laws under certain circumstances. Based upon an examination of information available relating to the businesses in which Buyer, TetraLogic and their respective subsidiaries are engaged, the parties believe that the Asset Sale will not violate the antitrust laws. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a challenge to the Asset Sale on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such a challenge is made, what the result would be.

        We believe we are not required to make any other material filings or obtain any material governmental consents or approvals before the consummation of the Asset Sale. If any approvals, consents or filings are required to consummate the Asset Sale, we will seek or make such consents, approvals or filings as promptly as possible.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale

        Certain of our executive officers have interests in the Asset Sale that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Such interests consist of severance amounts of up to $2,079,080.34 payable to terminated employees pursuant to their employment agreements, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. It is anticipated that such severance

36


Table of Contents

payments will be made from available cash on hand of the Company (not the Closing Payment) upon the closing of the Asset Sale. Such severance payments will not be paid if the Asset Sale does not close. Therefore our officers have an interest in the closing of the Asset Sale.

The Asset Purchase Agreement

        Below and elsewhere in this proxy statement is a summary of the material terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and which we incorporate by reference into this proxy statement. We encourage you to carefully read the Asset Purchase Agreement in its entirety as the summaries contained herein may not contain all of the information about the Asset Purchase Agreement that is important to you. Certain terms defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement have the same meaning as the defined terms used below in this description.

        The Asset Purchase Agreement has been included to provide you with information regarding its terms, and we recommend that you carefully read the Asset Purchase Agreement in its entirety. Except for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto with respect to the Asset Sale, we do not intend for its text to be a source of factual, business or operational information about us. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are qualified and limited, including by information in the disclosure schedules referenced in the Asset Purchase Agreement that the parties delivered in connection with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Representations and warranties may be used as a tool to allocate risks between the respective parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement, including where the parties do not have complete knowledge of all facts, instead of establishing such matters as facts. Furthermore, the representations and warranties may be subject to different standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties, which may differ from what may be viewed as material to stockholders. These representations may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this proxy statement. You should not rely on its representations, warranties or covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of TetraLogic or any of our affiliates.

The Asset Sale

Purchased Assets

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the satisfaction of the closing conditions, Buyer will purchase substantially all of the assets of the Business of TetraLogic and TetraLogic R&D (collectively, "Sellers").

        The assets of Sellers to be purchased by Buyer are specifically identified in the schedules to the Asset Purchase Agreement and include, among others:

37


Table of Contents

Excluded Assets

        Buyer will not purchase, and Sellers will retain, all remaining assets of Sellers not specifically identified in the relevant schedules to the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the following assets:

Assumed Liabilities

        Buyer will assume the following liabilities of Sellers related to the Business:

Excluded Liabilities

        Sellers will retain all liabilities of the Business that are not specifically identified under "—Assumed Liabilities" above including:

38


Table of Contents

Consideration to be Received by TetraLogic and the Contingent Payments

        The Closing Payment for the assets to be sold in the Asset Sale is $12 million payable in cash at closing, plus an amount equal to the aggregate expense payable to INC Research, LLC to complete the SHAPE CTCL Phase II ongoing trial, which is currently estimated to be $275,000. The Company will also assume the assumed liabilities set forth in "—Assumed Liabilities" above at closing of the Asset Sale. Additionally, the Company will have the opportunity to earn contingent payments based on milestones and earn-out payments based on annual net sales, as further described below.

        Following the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company may earn additional contingent payments based on milestones. For example, upon the first commercial sale of SHP-141 in any country in the European Union or Great Britain, the Company is entitled to $7 million dollars.

        In addition, subject to the terms and conditions in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company may receive earn-out payments based on the annual net sales of any product containing birinapant as follows:

Liquidated Damages

        Buyer agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to (i) initiate a Phase III Clinical Trial for SHP-141 as more fully described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) solely to the extent that Buyer has received written confirmation from the applicable affiliate of Merck that a new stock of KEYTRUDA will be provided free of costs within the scope of the existing agreement between the parties therein, and the applicable affiliate of Merck actually supplies KEYTRUDA in the manner contemplated by such confirmation, commence a proof of concept clinical trial of birinapant in combination with KEYTRUDA in solid tumors (NCT02587962); and (iii) support with reasonable supplies of birinapant the Jonnson Comprehensive Cancer Center sponsored clinical trial of birinapant in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in ovarian cancer (NCT02756130).

        Because the remedy by Buyer of the aforementioned obligations will difficult to calculate, the parties agreed that the remedy for breach by Buyer of such obligations shall only be as follows: (x) in the case of a breach by Buyer of (i) above, Buyer will pay to the Sellers $7,000,000; (y) in the case of a breach by Buyer of (ii) above, Buyer will pay to the Sellers $5,000,000; and (z) in the case of a breach by Buyer of (iii) above, Buyer will pay to the Sellers $5,000,000 (collectively, the "Liquidated Damages"). To the extent that all or any portion of the Liquidated Damages becomes payable, the breach by Buyer giving rise to such payment obligation will be considered an achievement of the related milestone (or the applicable portion thereof).

Indemnification of Buyer

        Sellers have agreed to indemnify Buyer and certain of its related parties for losses resulting directly from (i) any assets and liabilities that are not being assumed by Buyer or the conduct of the Business prior to the closing of the Asset Sale, (ii) the breach by the Company or TetraLogic R&D of

39


Table of Contents

any of its respective covenants set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, (iii) the breach by the Company or TetraLogic R&D of any of its respective representations or warranties set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (iv) the development, manufacture, use, sale, storage or handling of a drug substance or a drug product prior to the closing by the Company and TetraLogic R&D or their affiliates or their representatives, agents or subcontractors, or any actual or alleged violation of law resulting therefrom. In each case, indemnification does not apply to any loss to the extent such loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Buyer or its affiliates.

        Sellers are not obligated to indemnify Buyer for any losses unless such losses exceed $100,000, and then only to the extent such losses exceed $100,000. Except with respect to claims for breach of fundamental representations, fraud claims, claims for indemnity with respect to excluded tax liabilities or for breach of the tax-related representations and warranties, and claims for indemnity under a specified list of Sellers' covenants for which Sellers' indemnification obligation are not capped, Sellers' maximum aggregate liability under the Asset Purchase Agreement is $1.2 million.

        Sellers' indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to breaches of representations and warranties survive until the earlier of the date that is (X) the last calendar day of the month in which Buyer receives a final report from its independent accountant in respect of its financial statements as of, and for the period ending, December 31, 2017, and (Y) eighteen months from the date of closing; provided that the (i) obligations with respect to representations and warranties relating to the organization and good standing of the Sellers, authority of the Sellers, Sellers' title to assets, capitalization of Sellers and their subsidiaries, and Sellers' brokers survive indefinitely and (ii) obligations with respect to tax-related representations and warranties survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement survive indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Representations and Warranties

        The Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain representations and warranties made by Sellers regarding, among other things:

        In addition, Buyer made representations and warranties to us regarding, among other things:

Covenants Relating to the Conduct of the Business

        We have agreed in the Asset Purchase Agreement that, between the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Asset Sale, Sellers will:

41


Table of Contents

No Solicitation

        The Asset Purchase Agreement requires that Sellers not directly or indirectly solicit any inquiry, offer, or proposal or engage in any discussions with any third party in connection with any possible proposal regarding a sale of the Business or any similar transaction. Further, Sellers are prohibited from (i) engaging in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding the sale of the Business or similar transaction, (ii) disclosing non-public information, and (iii) entering in to a third party agreement regarding a sale of the Business or similar transaction, among other things (each, a "TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change"); provided that, prior to the approval of the stockholders and holders of the Senior Notes of the Asset Sale, Sellers may participate in negotiations or discussions regarding an unsolicited third party proposal with a third party and, if such offer is superior, make a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change, upon the Board's determination that failure to do so would be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. The Board must notify Buyer upon receipt of a third party proposal or any inquiry that could lead to a third party proposal. In addition, if the Sellers desire to make TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change, the Board must notify Buyer at least 5 business days prior to taking such action and provide Buyer a period of time, during which the parties will negotiate in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, such that the third party proposal ceases to be the superior offer. If after such time, the third party proposal continues to be the superior offer, Sellers may make a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change.

        In the event whereby the Board, acting in its fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders, accepts an offer superior to that of Buyer to acquire the Business or makes a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change without complying with the covenants set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (and summarized above), Sellers shall pay Buyer a total of $1.3 million plus Buyer's reasonable expenses in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale.

Expenses

        Except as described above, whether or not the Asset Sale is completed, each party will be required to pay its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Asset Sale.

Conditions to the Asset Sale

        TetraLogic and Buyer will not be obligated to complete the Asset Sale unless a number of conditions are satisfied or waived. These joint closing conditions are:

        In addition, the obligations of the Sellers to effect the Asset Sale are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of additional conditions, including:

        In addition, the obligation of Buyer to effect the Asset Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of additional closing conditions, including:

Termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement

        We may mutually agree with Buyer at any time to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement, even after our stockholders have approved the Asset Sale.

        The Asset Purchase Agreement may also be terminated under certain circumstances, including:

43


Table of Contents

        In the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason other than the reasons listed in item 6 and item 7 above, promptly following such termination, Buyer shall (x) reimburse the Sellers for expenses of the type described in a schedule to the Asset Purchase Agreement actually paid to the applicable contract research organization as of the date of such termination and (y) pay the applicable contract research organization directly for any accrued but unpaid expenses of the type described in a schedule to the Asset Purchase Agreement as of the date of such termination

Amendment and Waiver

        Sellers and Buyer may mutually amend, modify or supplement the Asset Purchase Agreement only by written agreement of the Sellers and Buyer. Except as otherwise provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, any party may waive any obligation, covenant or condition in the Asset Purchase Agreement, but such waiver must be signed by the party or parties granting such waiver.

Specific Performance

        The parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement may apply to any other court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive and/or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Consummation of the Asset Sale

        We expect to complete the Asset Sale as promptly as practicable after our stockholders approve the Asset Sale Proposal.

Vote Required

        Assuming a quorum is present, the approval of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon. If you do not vote by virtue of not being present by remote communication or by

44


Table of Contents

proxy at the Special Meeting, it will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the Asset Sale Proposal. If you are present at the Special Meeting by remote communication or by proxy but abstain from voting, it will have the effect of a vote "AGAINST" the Asset Sale Proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Asset Sale Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

        The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the Asset Sale Proposal.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our capital stock as of November 14, 2016 (except where otherwise noted) by:

        Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 24,465,083 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 14, 2016 (which does not include 229,000 shares of treasury stock).

        We have determined beneficial ownership in the table in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by any person or group of persons and the percentage ownership of that person or group, shares of Common Stock subject to options and warrants held by such person or group of persons that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within sixty days, are deemed to be beneficially owned by such person and outstanding for the calculation of such person's percentage ownership. However, we have not deemed these shares to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The 12,222,220 shares of Preferred Stock were not included in the computation of beneficial ownership because these shares are currently not convertible into shares of Common Stock and will not be convertible into shares of Common Stock within sixty days. The $41,550,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes currently outstanding were also not included in the computation of beneficial ownership because this convertible debt is not currently convertible into shares of Common Stock due to existing waivers and will not be convertible into shares of Common Stock within sixty days. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes following the table, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

        If a stockholder of the Company wishes to present a proposal before the annual meeting of stockholders in 2017 or wishes to nominate a candidate for election to the Company's Board, such stockholder must also give written notice to the Secretary at P.O. Box 1305, Paoli, PA 19301. Notice by the stockholder must be received by the Company not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the meeting is mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting is made, whichever occurs first. If a stockholder gives notice of such a proposal or nomination after the applicable deadline, the stockholder will not be permitted to present the proposal or nomination to the stockholders for a vote at the meeting.

        The notice should set forth: (a) for each nominee (i) information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC, and (ii) written consent of the nominee to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as director if so elected; (b) a brief description of any proposed business including (i) the text of such proposal and any accompanying resolutions, (ii) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (iii) any material interest held by the proposing stockholder or any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made; and

48


Table of Contents

(c) proposing stockholder and/or beneficial owner information including, (i) name and address, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock held, (iii) a representation that they are the holder of record, are entitled to vote, and intend to appear by remote communication or by proxy and propose such business or nomination, and (iv) a representation of intention to either deliver proxy statements to holders of the necessary percentage of shares or to solicit proxies in support of the proposal. The stockholder can alternatively satisfy the notice requirement by submitting proposals in compliance with SEC requirements and inclusion of such proposal within a proxy statement prepared by us.

        On November 4, 2016, we submitted a no-action letter to the SEC requesting confirmation that we are not precluded from filing a Form 15 notwithstanding that we have effective Securities Act registration statements that automatically updated during the current fiscal year due to the filing of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Upon receipt of the SEC's concurrence with the relief requested in our no-action letter, we will file a Form 15 so that our reporting obligations are simultaneously suspended under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. On November 14, 2016, we filed a Form 25 for the delisting of our shares of Common Stock, which will become effective on November 24, 2016. Thus, upon the effectiveness of our Form 15, we will no longer be required to file a proxy statement for the annual stockholder's meeting.

If any other matter or matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, or an adjournment or postponement thereof, it is the intention of the person named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with his best judgment.

TETRALOGIC PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

Introduction To Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

        The Company has prepared unaudited pro forma financial statements to assist readers in understanding the nature and effects of the sale of substantially all of the Company's and TetraLogic R&D's assets related to the Business on the consolidated financial statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 has been prepared with the assumption that the sale of substantially all of the assets related to the Business as described in the Proxy Statement for Special Meeting of Stockholders was completed as of the balance sheet date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine month ended September 30, 2016 has been prepared with the assumption that the transaction was completed at the beginning of the fiscal year.

        The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or the financial position which would have actually resulted if the Asset Sale had been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial positions which may result in the future.

        The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company's management. Certain of the most significant assumptions are set forth under the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.

        The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its most recent Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1) Basis of Presentation

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the nine month ended September 30, 2016 are derived from the historical audited financial statements of the Company included in its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its most recent Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-Q. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements include adjustments to reflect the Asset Sale.

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations if the sale had been completed on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.

        On November 2, 2016, the Company and TetraLogic R&D entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of their respective assets related to the Business to Medivir AB, a publicly traded Swedish company. The Business includes (a) a specified list of contracts, (b) all inventory, supplies, materials and spare parts of TetraLogic and TetraLogic R&D as of the closing of the Asset Sale, (c) 100% of the equity of their wholly-owned subsidiaries, TetraLogic Birinapant UK Ltd. and TetraLogic Shape UK Ltd. and (d) all intellectual property rights owned by TetraLogic and TetraLogic R&D as of the closing of the Asset Sale. Specifically excluded from the Asset Sale and retained by TetraLogic and TetraLogic R&D will be other assets and liabilities of TetraLogic and TetraLogic R&D identified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including all cash, cash equivalents, bank accounts, deposit accounts, trust accounts, escrow accounts, securities accounts and the free credit balances held therein, security and performance deposits, payroll tax deposits, and other liquid assets as of the closing of the Asset Sale.

2) Unaudited Pro Forma Adjustments:

        A)   The pro forma adjustment is to record the proceeds from the sale of the Birinapant and SHAPE assets and to eliminate the intangible asset, contingent consideration, and deferred tax liability related to the SHAPE asset.

        B)    The pro forma adjustment to record the redemption of $12 million of aggregate principal amount of 8% Notes and the exchange of $2,200,000 of 8% Notes for 12,222,220 shares of Preferred Stock.

        C)    The pro forma adjustment is to eliminate other assets and liabilities related to the operations of the business that will no longer be required to operate the Company on a go-forward basis. In addition, the pro forma adjustment includes additional DSO insurance that will be purchased and the payment of transaction costs and expenses prior to closing.

        D)   The pro forma adjustment is to eliminate the operating costs that will no longer be needed subsequent to the closing of the Asset Sale, and to present the estimated ongoing operating costs of TetraLogic, which consist primarily of insurance costs and miscellaneous administrative expenses. In addition, the pro forma adjustments remove the impact of the deferred tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2016 as it relates to the impairment charge recorded, which is non-recurring in nature.

        E)    The pro forma adjustment to reduce interest expense for the redemption of $14.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 8% Notes.

        F)    The pro forma adjustment to recognize accrued dividends on preferred stock.
