This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important . You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement and its annexes.

In this proxy statement, we refer to Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our.”

Who can vote at this Meeting?

Stockholders who owned shares of our Common Stock on June 21, 2013 (the “Record Date“) may attend and vote at this Meeting. There were [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of Common Stock shall have one vote per share. Information about the stockholdings of our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders is contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners” on page 29 of this Proxy Statement.

What is the proxy card?

The card enables you to appoint William E. Shell, MD, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and a director, and David Silver, MD, our President and Chief Operating Officer, as your representatives at this Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at this Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend this Meeting. Even if you plan to attend this Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before this Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at this Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” all proposals being put before our stockholders at the Meeting. Our Board further recommends that advisory votes on executive compensation paid should occur every three years.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record / Registered Stockholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Island Stock Transfer, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

	•	To approve the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation be held every three years; and

Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelop provided herewith as soon as possible so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at this Meeting. You may do this by:

We believe that the collective skills, experiences and qualifications of our directors provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders.

Dr. Shell’s extensive background in science and medicine, his role as co-investor of our Company’s patented technology, his experience in the formation of new companies and his leadership in managing our Company as Chief Executive Officer leads us to conclude that he would make significant contributions as a director.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

Although the Company’s securities are not listed on any national securities exchange and we are therefore not required to have a majority of independent directors, we apply the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) standard for independent directors to determine which, if any, of our directors are independent pursuant to such definition. Nasdaq defines an independent director generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Board would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our Board has unanimously determined that Maurice J. DeWald, Donald J. Webster and Arthur R. Nemiroff are “independent directors” as such term is defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2

Committees and Meetings of the Board

The Board met on nine occasions and took action by written consent on five occasions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. During the time served as a director during 2012, each of the directors attended at least 80% of the meetings held by the Board. There are three permanent committees of the Board: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Currently, each committee is composed of Messrs. Nemiroff, DeWald and Webster.

Audit Committee

We have a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. In addition, our Board adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee which is available, free of charge, from the Company by writing to the Secretary at Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., at 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, or calling (310) 474-9809.

Mr. Nemiroff serves as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Our Board has determined that Mr. Nemiroff is an “audit committee financial expert.”

The audit committee is required to report regularly to the Board to discuss any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of our financial statements, compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the independent auditors, or the performance of the internal audit function.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee our financial reporting activities. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls and staff. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee met on seven occasions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Each of the members of the Audit Committee attended 100% of the meetings held by the Audit Committee during the time such directors served as a member of the committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Former director Mr. Weems served as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The principal duties and responsibilities of our nominating committee are to identify qualified individuals to become board members, recommend to the Board individuals to be designated as nominees for election as directors at the annual meetings of stockholders, and develop and recommend to the Board our corporate governance guidelines. The Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is available, free of charge, from the Company by writing to our Secretary at Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., at 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, or calling (310) 474-9809.

The Board believes that all of its directors should have the highest personal integrity and have a record of exceptional ability and judgment. The Board also believes that its directors should ideally reflect a mix of experience and other qualifications. There is no firm requirement of minimum qualifications or skills that candidates must possess. The Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee evaluates director candidates based on a number of qualifications, including their independence, judgment, leadership ability, expertise in the industry, experience developing and analyzing business strategies, financial literacy, risk management skills, and, for incumbent directors, his or her past performance.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met on four occasions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Each of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee attended 100% of the meetings held during the time each director served as a member of the committee.

Each of the nominees up for election at this Meeting was recommended to the Board by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and reviewing the appropriate compensation of our directors and officers, for reviewing employee compensation plans and for considering and making grants and awards under, and administering, our equity incentive plans. Mr. DeWald serves as chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Among other functions, the Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers and senior management, including plans and programs relating to cash compensation, incentive compensation, equity-based awards and other benefits and perquisites and administers any such plans or programs as required by the terms thereof.

The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is available, free of charge, from the Company by writing to our Secretary at Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., at 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, or calling (310) 474-9809.

The Compensation Committee met on three occasions and acted by unanimous written consent on one occasion during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee attended 100% of the meetings held by the Compensation Committee during the time such director served as a member of the committee.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we do not require separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, we currently have a different person serving in each such role — Mr. Maurice J. DeWald is our Chairman, and Dr. William E. Shell is our Chief Executive Officer. The decision whether to combine or separate these positions depends on what our Board deems to be in the long term interest of stockholders in light of prevailing circumstances. Mr. DeWald has served as non-executive Chairman of the Board since October 2011. Dr. Shell has served as our Chief Executive Officer since July 2000. This arrangement has allowed our Chairman to lead the Board, while our Chief Executive Officer has focused primarily on managing the daily operations of the Company. The separation of duties provides strong leadership for the Board while allowing the Chief Executive Officer to be the leader of the Company, focusing on its customers, employees, and operations. In addition, through the Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominations Committees, our independent directors who are members thereof provide strong independent leadership for each of those committees.

Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Executive Officers and Directors

We adopted Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct for Executive Officers and Directors, both of which are available on our internet web site (at www.tmedpharma.com ) and will be provided in print without charge to any stockholder who submits a request in writing to Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, Attention: Secretary. The Code of Conduct for Executive Officers and Directors applies to each director and officer, including the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. This Code of Ethics provides principles to which these officers are expected to adhere and which they are expected to advocate. The principles of the Code of Ethics are aligned to and apply to those officers in addition to the Code of Conduct.

Procedures for Contacting Directors

The Board has established a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. Stockholders may communicate with the Board generally or a specific director at any time by writing to: Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, Attention: Maurice J. DeWald. We review all messages received, and forward any message that reasonably appears to be a communication from a stockholder about a matter of stockholder interest that is intended for communication to the Board. Communications are sent as soon as practicable to the director to whom they are addressed, or if addressed to the Board generally, to the chairperson of the Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of stockholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of stockholder interest are not forwarded to the Board.

In the event Mr. Blachman is not vested with the responsibilities of acting as our Vice President of Strategy and Operations and the parties cannot mutually agree upon another suitable position, Mr. Blachman will continue as an advisor and consultant to us for the remaining term of the agreement and shall be entitled to receive all compensation described above. In such event, Mr. Blachman’s service as an advisor and consultant to us will be required at such times as shall result in the least inconvenience to Mr. Blachman with the understanding that Mr. Blachman may have other business commitments during such consulting period. Nonetheless, during his employment as our advisor and consultant, Mr. Blachman shall not directly or indirectly compete with us.

On April 30, 2012, the Company and Amir Blachman entered into Addendum A to the Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Blachman effective as of March 5, 2012. Pursuant to the amendment, Mr. Blachman’s annual base salary was increased from $140,000 to $210,000, of which the annual equivalent of $180,000 base salary is to be paid and $30,000 base salary is to be accrued. Mr. Blachman is entitled to receive the accrued salary and a bonus of $50,000 in the event the Company meets any of the following conditions: (i) Dr. Shell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, determines cash flow is sufficient to support such payment; (ii) the Company consummates a financing other than loans to the Company by its principals generating $3 million of proceeds to the Company; (iii) the Company’s pending registration statement on Form S-1 is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; or (iv) the Company’s tax liabilities through December 31, 2011 are eliminated. Except for these changes, the Blachman Employment Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

Director Compensation

Our Board of Directors has determined not to pay any cash fees to our non-independent directors, nor will we pay their expenses for attending board meetings. In fiscal 2012 independent directors earned an annual fee of $24,000, $2,000 for each board meeting they attended, of which there were nine, $1,000 for each board committee meeting attended, of which there were 17. Mr. DeWald earned $10,000 for acting as Non-executive Chairman of the Board, Mr. Nemiroff received $6,000 for acting as Chairman of the audit committee and Messrs. DeWald and Weems each received $3,000 for acting as Chairman of the compensation and nominating committees respectively. In addition, Messrs. DeWald, Nemiroff and Webster were granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc. Common Stock, 50% of which vested at each of September 30, 2012 and at December 31, 2012. Mr. Weems received an initial grant of an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc. Common Stock 25% of which vests on September 30 and December 31, 2012 and March 31 and June 30, 2013. These options have an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Independent directors were also granted 25,000 restricted shares of Common Stock at a per share value of $1.00. The options and the shares of Common Stock were granted pursuant to and are subject to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors and officers for any liability arising from an action to which such persons were party by reason of the fact that they were serving our company or another enterprise at our request to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL.

The first paragraph of Article Tenth of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides: “To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agent of the Corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law.” Our amended and restated bylaws further provide that any indemnification shall be made by us in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by a director or officer with a right to indemnification only if (i) such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or ratified by our Board of Directors, (ii) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, and (iii) we provide the indemnification, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under applicable law.

Pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, our directors and officers shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, also have the right to receive an advancement of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition. To the extent required under the DGCL, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such individual, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock. Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms we have received and representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during fiscal year 2012.

PROPOSAL TWO – REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

General

On June [●], 2013, our Board unanimously voted to adopt and declared advisable the Amendment to Article FOURTH our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation effecting a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio of between one-for-[two] and one-for-[ten] with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and with such Reverse Split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board is now asking you to approve this Amendment.

Effecting the Reverse Split requires that Article FOURTH of our Certificate of Incorporation be amended to include a reference to the Reverse Split. The additional text added to Article FOURTH, is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. If approved, the Amendment will be effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached as Appendix A with the Secretary of State of Delaware with such filing to occur at the sole discretion of the Board.

The intention of the Board in effecting the Reverse Split is to increase the stock price of our Common Stock, which is currently trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), to a level sufficiently above the $3.00 minimum bid price requirement that is required for initial listing on both The Nasdaq Capital Market and the NYSE MKT LLC (the Nasdaq Capital Market and the NYSE MKT LLC collectively referred to as the “Exchanges”) such that the Board, at its sole discretion, may apply for initial listing on either of the Exchanges. Upon determination by the Board that it will pursue initial listing on either Exchange, the Board will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

One principal effect of the Reverse Split would be to decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Except for de minimus adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders since each stockholder would hold the same percentage of our Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of Common Stock would not be affected by the Reverse Split. The table below sets forth the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before and after the Reverse Split based on [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding as of [●], 2013.

		Prior to the Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-two Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-five Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-ten Reverse Split
Aggregate Number of Shares of Common Stock		[●]		[●]		[●]		[●]

Although the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because the Reverse Split does not change the current authorized number of shares of Common Stock (100,000,000). The remaining authorized shares may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, effecting stock dividends, establishing strategic relationships with other companies and expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses or products. We do not currently have any plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the newly available authorized shares for any purposes. In order to support our projected need for additional equity capital and to provide flexibility to raise the capital as necessary, our Board believes the number of shares of Common Stock should be maintained at 100,000,000.

The Reverse Split is not part of a broader plan to take us private.

Reasons for the Reverse Split

The Board of Director’s primary objective in proposing the Reverse Split is to raise the per share trading price of our Common Stock, which is currently trading only on the OTCBB, to allow for a listing of our Common Stock on one of the Exchanges. Upon receiving stockholder approval, the Board may, at its own discretion, file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Thereafter, the Board may, at its sole discretion, begin the initial listing application process on either Exchange.

Our Board has determined that by increasing the market price per share of our Common Stock, we would meet the initial listing requirements of each of the Exchanges and our Common Stock could be initially listed on one of the Exchanges. Our Board concluded that the liquidity and marketability of our Common Stock may be adversely affected if it is not quoted on a national securities exchange as investors can find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our Common Stock. Our Board believes that current and prospective investors may view an investment in our Common Stock more favorably if our Common Stock is quoted on one of the Exchanges.

Our Board also has confidence that the Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our Common Stock should enhance the acceptability and marketability of our Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our Common Stock, although we have not been told by them that is the reason for not investing in our Common Stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our Common Stock.

We cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired effects described above. More specifically, we cannot assure you that after the Reverse Split the market price of our Common Stock will increase proportionately to reflect the ratio for the Reverse Split, that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease to its pre-split level, that our market capitalization will be equal to the market capitalization before the Reverse Split, or that we will be initially listed on one of the Exchanges, or once initially listed, that we will be able to maintain such listing.

Requirements for Listing on Exchanges

In order to initially list our Common Stock on either of the Exchanges, among other requirements which have or will all be satisfied, our Common Stock must maintain a minimum bid price of at least $3.00. Our Board has considered the potential advantages to us if our Common Stock is listed on one of the Exchanges and has concluded that even though the desired effects cannot be assured, it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders to effect the Reverse Split to help attain a $3.00 bid price and ensure compliance with the listing requirements of the Exchanges.

Potential Disadvantages of the Reverse Split

As noted above, the principal purpose of the Reverse Split would be to help increase the per share market price of our Common Stock by up to factor of ten. We cannot assure you, however, that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by an equivalent multiple, or result in any permanent increase in the market price of our Common Stock. The price of our Common Stock is dependent upon many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success. If the per share market price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split, then the value of our Company as measured by our stock capitalization will be reduced, perhaps significantly.

The number of shares held by each individual stockholder would be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. This has two disadvantages. First, each of the Exchanges requires that we have a certain number of round lot stockholders to be initially listed (the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that we have 300 round lot stockholders and the NYSE MKT LLC requires that we have 400 round lot stockholders). Second, the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” are typically higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their position.

Although our Board believes that the decrease in the number of our Common Stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Split and the anticipated increase in the market price of our Common Stock could encourage interest in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split.

Effecting the Reverse Split

Upon receipt of stockholder approval for the Amendment, if our Board concludes that it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders to effect the Reverse Split, the Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The actual timing of the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split will be determined by our Board. In addition, if for any reason our Board deems it advisable to do so, the Reverse Split may be abandoned at any time prior to the filing of the Amendment, without further action by our stockholders. In addition, our Board may deem it advisable to effect the Reverse Split even if the price of our Common Stock is above $3.00 at the time the Reverse Split is to be effected. The Reverse Split will be effective as of the date of filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).

Upon the filing of the Amendment, without further action on our part or our stockholders, the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by stockholders of record as of the Effective Time would be converted into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock based on a Reverse Stock Split ratio as determined by the Board. For example, if you presently hold 100 shares of our Common Stock, you would hold 50 shares of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split if the ratio is one-for-[two] or you would hold 10 shares of our Common Stock if the ratio is one-for-[ten].

Effect on Outstanding Shares, Options and Certain Other Securities

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of shares our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction in the total number of shares outstanding, such that the percentage of our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will remain unchanged except for any de minimus change resulting from rounding up to the nearest number of whole shares so that we are not obligated to issue cash in lieu of any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares of our Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options or other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our Common Stock (no such options or other convertible securities exist for our Restricted Shares), and the exercise or conversion prices for these securities, will also be ratably adjusted in accordance with their terms as of the Effective Time.

Effect on Registration and Stock Trading

Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our Common Stock.

If the proposed Reverse Split is implemented and our application for initial listing is otherwise accepted on either of the Exchanges, we will request that our Common Stock be initially listed under the symbol “[TRGM]”.

Fractional Shares; Exchange of Stock Certificates

Our Board does not currently intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Split. Therefore, we do not expect to issue certificates representing fractional shares. In lieu of any fractional shares, we will issue to stockholders of record who would otherwise hold a fractional share because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Split is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Split ratio that number of shares of Common Stock as rounded up to the nearest whole share. For example, if a stockholder holds 150.75 Common Stock following the Reverse Split, that stockholder will receive certificate representing 151 Common Stock. No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

As of [●], 2013, we had [●] holders of record of our Common Stock (although we have significantly more beneficial holders). We do not expect the Reverse Split and the rounding up of fractional shares to whole shares to result in a significant reduction in the number of record holders. We presently do not intend to seek any change in its status as a reporting company for federal securities law purposes, either before or after the Reverse Split.

On or after the Effective Time, we will mail a letter of transmittal to each stockholder. Each stockholder will be able to obtain a certificate evidencing his, her or its post-Reverse Split shares only by sending the exchange agent (who will be the Company’s transfer agent) the stockholder’s old stock certificate(s), together with the properly executed and completed letter of transmittal and such evidence of ownership of the shares as we may require. Stockholders will not receive certificates for post-Reverse Split shares unless and until their old certificates are surrendered. Stockholders should not forward their certificates to the exchange agent until they receive the letter of transmittal, and they should only send in their certificates with the letter of transmittal. The exchange agent will send each stockholder, if elected in the letter of transmittal, a new stock certificate after receipt of that stockholder’s properly completed letter of transmittal and old stock certificate(s). A stockholder that surrenders his, her or its old stock certificate(s) but does not elect to receive a new stock certificate in the letter of transmittal will be deemed to have requested to hold that stockholder’s shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent.

Certain of our registered holders of Common Stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, the stockholder will need to return a properly executed and completed letter of transmittal.

Stockholders who hold shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) will be treated in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures and stockholders holding shares in street name should contact their nominees.

Stockholders will not have to pay any service charges in connection with the exchange of their certificates.

Authorized Shares

If and when our Board elects to effect the Reverse Split, the Amendment will concurrently therewith maintain the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock at 100 million. Accordingly, there will be no reduction in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio. As a result, the proportion of shares owned by our shareholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease and the additional authorized shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as our Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by our shareholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. If our Common Stock are initially listed on one of the Exchanges, stockholder approval must be obtained, under applicable Nasdaq and NYSE MKT rules, prior to the issuance of shares for certain purposes, including the issuance of Common Stock equal to or greater than 20% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with a private refinancing or an acquisition or merger, unless an exemption is available from such approval. Such an exemption would be available if our Audit Committee authorized the filing of a prior written application with Nasdaq or the NYSE MKT to waive the stockholder vote requirement if it believed the delay associated with securing such vote would seriously jeopardize our financial viability and Nasdaq or the NYSE MKT granted us such an exemption.

The Reverse Split will have no effect on our authorized preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, because there are no shares of preferred stock currently outstanding.

In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law, our shareholders do not have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our unissued or treasury shares.

Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects

The purpose of maintaining our authorized Common Stock at 100,000,000 after the Reverse Split is to facilitate our ability to raise additional capital to support our operations, not to establish any barriers to a change of control or acquisition of our Company. The Common Stock and Restricted Shares that are authorized but unissued provide our Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private refinancings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares may also be used by our Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable. The Reverse Split would give our Board authority to issue additional shares from time to time without delay or further action by the stockholders except as may be required by applicable law or the rules of the Exchanges. The Reverse Split is not being recommended in response to any specific effort of which we are aware to obtain control of us, nor does our Board have any present intent to use the authorized but unissued Common Stock to impede a takeover attempt. There are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into any arrangements that have material anti-takeover effects.

In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for any of the corporate purposes listed above could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and the book or market value of our outstanding Common Stock, depending on the circumstances, and would likely dilute a stockholder’s percentage voting power in us. Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our Board intends to take these factors into account before authorizing any new issuance of shares.

Accounting Consequences

As of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio (including a retroactive adjustment of prior periods), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to holders of our Common Stock. This summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S. holder”). This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular stockholder, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law or persons that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of June 15, 2011. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

Each stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. holder upon the Reverse Split. Accordingly, the aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Split should equal the aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock surrendered and the holding period for the Common Stock received should include the holding period for the Common Stock surrendered.

Text of Proposed Amendment; Effectiveness

The text of the proposed Amendment is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. If and when effected by our Board, the Amendment will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE

REVERSE SPLIT PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL THREE – ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The SEC has adopted final rules requiring public companies to provide stockholders with periodic advisory (non-binding votes) on executive compensation, also referred to as “say-on-pay” proposals. We are presenting the following proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our 2012 equity compensation program for the named executive officers listed under “Corporate Governance” in this Proxy Statement by voting for or against the following resolution.

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”

Pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, this vote will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board or the Compensation Committee, creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board or the Compensation Committee or any additional fiduciary duty by the Board or the Compensation Committee or restricting or limiting the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. The Board and the Compensation Committee, however, may in their discretion take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Required Vote

In voting to approve the above resolution, stockholders may vote for the resolution, against the resolution or abstain from voting. This matter will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting. Abstentions will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF

THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL FOUR – To conduct an advisory vote on the frequency of

future advisory votes on executive compensation

The SEC has also adopted final rules requiring public companies to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of holding say-on-pay votes. Accordingly, as required by the SEC’s rules, we are including this proposal to give our stockholders the opportunity to inform us as to how often they wish the Company to include a say-on-pay proposal, similar to Proposal Three, in our proxy statements.

We are presenting the following proposal, which gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to inform us as to whether you wish us to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation once every (1) one year, (2) two years, or (3) three years, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal set forth in the following resolution.

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders determine, on an advisory basis, whether the preferred frequency of an advisory vote on the executive compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should be every year, every two years, or every three years.”

The Board recommends that you vote for every three (3) years as the desired frequency for the Company to hold a non-binding, advisory vote of the stockholders on executive compensation. We believe this frequency is appropriate for the reasons set forth below:

1. Our equity compensation program for the named executive officers is designed to support long-term value creation, and a vote every three years will allow the stockholders to better judge the equity compensation program in relation to our long-term performance. We strive to ensure management’s interests are aligned with stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation through our equity compensation program. To that end, we grant equity awards to vest over multi-year periods of service to encourage our named executive officers to focus on long-term performance, and recommend a vote every three years, which would allow the equity compensation to be evaluated over a similar time-frame and in relation to long-term performance.

2. A vote every three (3) years will provide the Board and the Compensation Committee with the time to thoughtfully consider and thoroughly respond to stockholders’ sentiments and to implement any necessary changes in light of the timing required therefor. The Board and the compensation committee will carefully review changes to the executive compensation to maintain the effectiveness and credibility of the program, which is important for aligning interests and for motivating and retaining our named executive officers.

3. We are open to input from stockholders regarding board and governance matters, as well as the equity compensation program. We believe that the stockholders’ ability to contact us and the Board at any time to express specific views on executive compensation holds us accountable to stockholders and reduces the need for and value of more frequent advisory votes on executive compensation.

Pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, this vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation is non-binding on the Board and its committees. This vote may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board or its committees, creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board or its committees or any additional fiduciary duty by the Board or its committees or restricting or limiting the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the vote on this matter, the Board may, in the future, decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO HAVE THE NON-BINDING

VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OCCUR EVERY THREE YEARS.

OTHER INFORMATION

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board has selected EFP Rotenberg LLP (“EFP”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The Audit Committee reviews and approves the audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm during the year, considers the effect that performing those services might have on audit independence and approves management’s engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform those services. The Audit Committee reserves the right to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board and the Audit Committee believe that a change is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

EFP was originally engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm in January 2011. EFP has audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2012. A representative of EFP will be present at the Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to questions.

The following table sets forth fees billed to us by our independent registered public accounting firms during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for: (i) services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements; (ii) services by our independent registered public accounting firms that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and that are not reported as Audit Fees; (iii) services rendered in connection with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning; and (iv) all other fees for services rendered.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

All audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Consistent with applicable law, limited amounts of services, other than audit, review or attest services, may be approved by one or more members of the Audit Committee pursuant to authority delegated by the Audit Committee, provided each such approved service is reported to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting.

All of the engagements and fees for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were approved by the Audit Committee. In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, EFP only used full-time, permanent employees.

The Audit Committee of the Board considered whether the provision of non-audit services by EFP was compatible with its ability to maintain independence from an audit standpoint and concluded that EFP’s independence was not compromised.

On December 12, 2010, the Company issued a promissory note to the Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) in the amount of $300,000 (the “Plan Note”). The note bears interest at a rate of 8.0 percent per annum and was payable on June 12, 2011. On June 12, 2011, the Company, the Plan, William E.

Moreover, pursuant to the Note Agreement, each of Dr. Shell and Ms. Charuvastra assigned their respective interests in the Plan Note to the EC and WS Family Trust. In accordance with the Note Agreement, in connection with the assignments, the Plan Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 15, 2015 and to reduce the interest rate from 8.0% per annum to 3.25% per annum. The Company issued new notes to each of the WC and WS Family Trust (in the amount of $200,000) and to Mr. Giffoni (in the amount of $100,000) to memorialize the amendments pursuant to the Note Agreement.

On January 31, 2011, the Company issued promissory notes to each of William Shell, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer, interim Chief Financial Officer and a director, Elizabeth Charuvastra, our former Chairman, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and a director, and Kim Giffoni, our Executive Vice President of Foreign Sales and Investor Relations and a director, in an aggregate amount of $440,000.

For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such proposals must be received by the Company at its offices at 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, Attention: Investor Relations, no later than February [●], 2014.

In addition, our Bylaws provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. Notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to us not less than 60 days and not more than 90 days prior to the date we first mailed our proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or (y) the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Bylaws. If a stockholder fails to comply with the forgoing notice provision or with certain additional procedural requirements under SEC rules, the Company will have authority to vote shares under proxies we solicit when and if the nomination or proposal is raised at the annual meeting of stockholders and, to the extent permitted by law, on any other business that may properly come before the annual meeting of stockholders and any adjournments or postponements. The Chairman of the Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

If we are not notified of a stockholder proposal a reasonable time prior to the time we send our proxy statement for our 2014 annual meeting, then our Board will have discretionary authority to vote on the stockholder proposal, even though the stockholder proposal is not discussed in the proxy statement. In order to curtail any controversy as to the date on which a stockholder proposal was received by us, it is suggested that stockholder proposals be submitted by certified mail, return receipt requested, and be addressed to Targeted Medical Pharma, Inc., 2980 Beverly Glen Circle, Suite 301, Los Angeles, CA 90077, Attention: Investor Relations. Notwithstanding, the foregoing shall not affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act nor grant any stockholder a right to have any nominee included in our proxy statement.
