Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and any adjournment, postponement or other delay thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), of Perspective Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Perspective,” “Company,” “we” or “us”), which will be held at 2401 Elliott Avenue, Suite 320, Seattle, WA 98121 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, May 31, 2024, for the following purposes:

To elect five directors to the Company’s board of directors (the “Election Proposal”);

To approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1:10 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”);

To ratify the appointment of WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”);

To approve the Company’s Third Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal”); and

To conduct any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote“FOR ALL” on the Election Proposal,“FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal and “FOR” the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.

The enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement describes the formal business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting. This Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card are being mailed on or prior to April 19, 2024, to stockholders of record on April 5, 2024.

The Company’s principal executive office is 2401 Elliott Avenue, Suite 320, Seattle, WA 98121.

As we have done in the past, this year, in accordance with SEC rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Consequently, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send these stockholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. The notice also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. We believe this procedure makes the proxy distribution process more efficient, less costly and helps in conserving natural resources.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to vote your shares of our common stock as soon as possible. You may vote prior to the Annual Meeting via the Internet, by telephone or, if you receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing the completed proxy card. Voting by any of these methods will ensure your representation at the meeting and will help ensure the presence of a quorum at the meeting. If you do attend the Annual Meeting, you may change your vote by voting personally on each matter brought before the meeting. If you hold your shares of our common stock in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares of our common stock in accordance with the voting instruction form that you will receive from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting in person, it is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, we ask that you please vote over the Internet or by telephone at your earliest convenience, or, if you receive a proxy card and a voting instruction form by mail, that you complete, sign and date the proxy card or voting information form and return it in the enclosed envelope (to which no postage need be affixed if mailed in the United States) as soon as possible. If you do attend the Annual Meeting, you may change your vote by voting personally on each matter brought before the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

If You Plan to Attend in Person:

Please note that space limitations make it necessary to limit attendance to stockholders. Admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Stockholders holding shares of our common stock in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee will need to obtain a legal proxy from their broker, bank or other nominee in order to enter the meeting. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic equipment will not be permitted in the meeting.

Sincerely,

/s/ Johan (Thijs) Spoor
