**PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS OF MEDICUS PHARMA LTD. TO BE HELD ON JULY 22, 2025

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by management of Medicus Pharma Ltd. of proxies to be used at the 2025 annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company referred to in the accompanying notice of annual general and special meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice"), to be held on July 22, 2025, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP at Suite 3400 - One First Canadian Place, 100 King St.W., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5X 1A4.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "we," "us," "our," "Company" or "Medicus" or similar terms refer to Medicus Pharma Ltd. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries. The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 300 Conshohocken State Rd. Suite 200**,**W. Conshohocken, PA 19428.

All properly submitted proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in those proxies. If no instructions are specified, the proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our board of directors (the "Board") with respect to each of the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice. You may revoke your proxy by following the instructions set out under the heading "May I change or revoke my vote?".

We made our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 available to Shareholders on March 28, 2025, and filed an amendment thereto on April 30, 2025.

We are an "emerging growth company" under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and therefore permitted to conform with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. As an emerging growth company, we provide in this proxy statement the scaled disclosure permitted under the U.S.Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are not required to conduct votes seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers or the frequency with which such votes must be conducted. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering occurs or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large-accelerated filer under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

We are also a "smaller reporting company," as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
