SEC Form DEFA14A filed by Paragon 28 Inc.

Paragon 28, Inc.

The following email was sent to employees of Paragon 28, Inc. on January 28, 2025.

I hope you are able to attend the town hall meeting at 4:30pm MT today.  However, if you cannot join the town hall meeting today, then can join the same town hall meeting at 8:00am MT tomorrow. I’ll be discussing more about why this proposed merger is the absolute right thing for P28, and what to expect as this process unfolds.

From day one, we’ve been a team with big dreams and the courage, creativity, common sense, and competitiveness to achieve them. This next chapter is about expanding those dreams to an even bigger stage. Thank you again for what you bring, I couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come—or more excited about where we’re headed.

Let’s build this next chapter of our future together.

Sincerely,

Albert DaCosta
Chairman and CEO
