Dear Stockholder:
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!
By now you should have received the proxy statement that we recently distributed
to our stockholders in connection with the important upcoming Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of Diomed Holdings, Inc., to be held on November 25, 2003. As the
Company has more than 5,000 beneficial stockholders, your vote is important,
regardless of your share position. Please vote TODAY if you have not yet voted.
As stated in our proxy statement, the Company needs to obtain investment capital
to continue operating and to make necessary investments in its growth strategy.
The board of directors authorized the Company to enter into an equity financing
transaction to accomplish this goal. If the Company does not complete the equity
financing transaction, the Company will be required to cease or reduce its
operations, sell the Company or enter into a business combination with a third
party.
If the stockholders do not approve Proposal 3, Proposal 4 and Proposal 5, then
the Company will not be able to complete the equity financing. If the Company is
not able to complete the equity financing, the Company will not have the capital
it requires to continue its operations after December 31, 2003.
Please refer to the proxy statement for detailed information regarding these
proposals and the other proposals to be voted on by our stockholders at the
Annual Meeting. For your ease of reference, the proxy statement can be viewed at
our website, www.diomedinc.com.
If you have not yet voted, please vote TODAY by telephone, by Internet, or by
signing and returning the enclosed voting form in the postage-paid envelope
provided.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Lisa M. Bruneau
Corporate Secretary
