Corrected Voting Card
Tripos, Inc.
April 17,1997
Dear Shareholder:
Due to a typographical error in the printing of the
original proxy card included with the Proxy Statement and
Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Tripos, Inc.
requests that you discard the white proxy card and
instead use this blue card to cast your vote on the
proposals described in the Proxy Statement and Notice
of Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Tripos, Inc.
Proposal 2 on the original white card reflected an
incorrect amount of shares. Proposal 2 should have read as
follows: "2. PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED THEREUNDER
FROM 704,000 TO 1,100,000". The attached card reflects the
corrected amount and should be used to cast your vote.
If you have already returned the white proxy card,
please complete the blue proxy form attached below and
return it in the envelope provided. The white proxy card
will be disregarded and the shares represented thereby
will not be voted.
The 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Tripos, Inc. will
be held at the World Trade Center St. Louis, 121 S.
Meramec, 10th Floor, Clayton, Missouri, 63105, on Friday,
May 9, 1997 at 1:00 p.m. local time. At the meeting,
shareholders will elect directors, act
on a proposal to amend the 1994 Stock Option Plan, and
transact such other business as may properly come
before the meeting and any adjournments thereof.
It is important that your shares are
represented at the meeting. Whether or not you plan
on attending the meeting, please review the enclosed
proxy materials, complete the proxy form attached
