Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting of Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which will be held at the offices of Morrison & Foerster, LLP located at 12531 High Bluff Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92130, on August 13, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. local time. We hope you will be able to attend the meeting in person.

The attached notice of meeting and proxy statement describe the matters to be acted upon at the annual meeting. If you plan to attend the annual meeting in person, please mark the designated box on the enclosed proxy card. If you are planning to attend the annual meeting and your shares are held in street name (by a broker, for example), you should ask the record owner for a legal proxy or bring your most recent account statement to the annual meeting so that we can verify your ownership of Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in street name and you do not bring a legal proxy from the record owner, you will be able to attend the annual meeting, but you will not be able to vote at the annual meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting personally, and regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be represented at the annual meeting. Accordingly, we urge you to promptly complete the enclosed proxy card and return it to the inspector of elections in the postage-prepaid envelope provided, or to promptly use the telephone or Internet voting system. If you do attend the annual meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy at that time.

	Sincerely,


	Mark L. Baum

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), of Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to be held on August 13, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. local time at the offices of Morrison & Foerster, LLP located at 12531 High Bluff Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92130, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. We expect to mail this proxy statement to our stockholders on or about July 17, 2013.

All references to “us”, “we”, “our”, and “the Company” refer to Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE 2013 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 13, 2013

Copies of this Proxy Statement, the Notice and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 can be accessed electronically at: www.iproxydirect.com/IMMY.

Solicitation of Proxies

The Board is soliciting the accompanying proxy. In accordance with unanimous recommendations of our Board, the individuals named in the proxy will vote all shares represented by proxies in the manner designated, or if no designation is made, they will vote the proxies FOR the election of all of the director nominees named in Proposal 1, FOR proposals 2 and 3, and for a THREE YEAR frequency with respect to proposal 4. In their discretion, the proxy holders named in the proxy are authorized to vote on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and at any continuation, postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not know of any other items of business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this proxy statement. The individuals acting as proxies will not vote on a particular matter if the proxy card representing those shares instructs them to abstain from voting on that matter or to the extent a proxy card is marked to show that some of the shares represented by the proxy card are not to be voted.

Stockholders of Record

Only holders of record of shares of our common stock at the close of business on the record date, July 2, 2013, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof. At the close of business on July 2, 2013, the Company had 8,961,583 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote held by 171 stockholders of record. Each holder of record of shares of our common stock on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions and shares that are voted by brokers as to any matter at the meeting will be included in determining if a quorum is present or represented at the Annual Meeting. Any broker holding shares of record for you is not entitled to vote on certain matters that are not deemed to be routine unless the broker receives voting instructions from you. Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by a broker who has not received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares on such matters, the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such matters and has so notified us on a proxy form in accordance with industry practice or has otherwise advised us that the broker lacks voting authority with respect to such matters. The effects of broker non-votes and abstentions on the specific items to be brought before the Annual Meeting are discussed below.

Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed

Proposal 1 – Election of six directors	Plurality of Votes Cast		No

Proposal 2 – Ratification of auditors for Fiscal Year 2013	Majority of Voting Power represented at meeting		Yes

Proposal 3 – Advisory vote to approve executive compensation	Majority of Voting Power represented at meeting		No

Proposal 4 – Advisory vote on frequency of advisory vote on executive compensation	Plurality of Votes Cast		No

With respect to Proposals 2 and 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN from voting on any of these proposals, the abstention will have the same effect as an AGAINST vote. You may also ABSTAIN with respect to Proposal 4; however, your abstention will have no effect on the vote with respect to that proposal. Broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 3 will have the same effect as an AGAINST vote but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposals 1 and 4. Broker non-votes are not expected to result from Proposal 2.

How to Vote

You may vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or you may vote by submitting a proxy. If you hold your shares of common stock in street name, you will receive a notice from your broker, bank or other nominee that includes instructions on how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or other nominee may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the Internet and may also permit you to submit your voting instructions by telephone.

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, and you decide to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, your vote in person at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy, issued in your name from your broker, bank or other nominee. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit your proxy to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

You are a stockholder of record if, at the close of business on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Action Stock Transfer Corp., our transfer agent. If you are a stockholder of record and give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before its use, either:

(1) by revoking it in person at the Annual Meeting;

(2) by writing, delivered to our Corporate Secretary at 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130 before the proxy is used; or

(3) by a later dated proxy card delivered to us at the address noted above before the proxy is used.

Your presence at the meeting will not revoke your proxy, but if you attend the meeting and cast a ballot, your proxy will be revoked as to the matters on which the ballot is cast.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, please follow the instructions provided by your broker or other nominee as to how you may change your vote or obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Cost and Method of Solicitation

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to our stockholders. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of our common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.

Stockholder List

A complete list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose related to the meeting, for ten days prior to the meeting during ordinary business hours at our principal offices located at 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130.

Vote Required

Each director is elected by a plurality of the votes cast with regard to the election of directors. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the proxies they receive FOR the election of the nominees, unless a particular proxy card withholds authorization to do so, or provides contrary instructions. Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, abstentions will not be counted in determining which nominees receive the largest number of votes cast. Each of the nominees has indicated that he is willing and able to serve as a director. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee becomes unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of whomever the Board may designate.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR

THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist it in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve the interests of the Company and our stockholders. The corporate governance guidelines are available for review on our website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that four (4) of our directors, a majority of the Board, are “independent” directors as that term is defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In addition, based upon such standards, the Board has determined Mr. Baum would not be considered independent because he currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Kammer is not independent because of certain ongoing advisory relationships.

Dr. Balbir Brar, our former President, served as a director on our Board from February 15, 2012 through July 25, 2012. He continued in his capacity as our President until May 7, 2013, at which time he resigned as President and will continue to serve as a Senior Advisor to the Company, focusing on pre-clinical safety matters. Dr. Brar was not considered an independent director during his tenure on the Board because of his position as our President.

Nominations for Directors

Our Corporate Governance Committee (“Corporate Governance Committee”) evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors director nominees for each election of directors. In considering potential new directors, the Corporate Governance Committee may review individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds. Among the qualifications to be considered in the selection of candidates are broad experience in business, finance or administration; familiarity with the Company’s industry; and prominence and reputation. Since prominence and reputation in a particular profession or field of endeavor are what brings most persons to the Board’s attention, there is the further consideration of whether the individual has the time available to devote to the work of the Board and one or more of its committees. The Corporate Governance Committee also reviews the activities and associations of each candidate to ensure that there is no legal impediment, conflict of interest, or other consideration that might hinder or prevent service on the Board. Other than the foregoing factors, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees. However, the Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Corporate Governance Committee recognizes that under applicable regulatory requirements at least one member of the Board must, and believes that it is preferable that more than one member of the Board should, meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. Further, although the Company does not have a formal diversity policy, the Corporate Governance Committee seeks to nominate a board of directors that brings to the Company a variety of perspectives, skills, expertise, and sound business understanding and judgment, derived from business, professional, governmental, finance, community and industry experience.

The Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board of Directors with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the Board of Directors up for re-election at an upcoming annual meeting of stockholders does not wish to continue in service, the Corporate Governance Committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. If the Corporate Governance Committee believes that the Board of Directors requires additional candidates for nomination, the committee may explore alternative sources for identifying additional candidates. This may include engaging, as appropriate, a third party search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates.

The Corporate Governance Committee reviews all nominees, including those recommended by stockholders, for nomination by the Board in accordance with the above requirements and qualifications to determine whether they possess attributes the Corporate Governance Committee believes would be most beneficial to the Company. The Corporate Governance Committee will select qualified candidates and make its recommendations to the Board, which will formally decide whether to nominate the recommended candidates for election to the Board. Stockholders may recommend nominees for consideration by the Corporate Governance Committee by submitting the names and the following supporting information to the Company’s Secretary: Corporate Secretary, Stockholder Nominations, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130. The submissions should include a current resume of the candidate and statement describing the candidate’s qualifications and contact information for personal and professional references. The submission should also include the name and address of the stockholder who is submitting the nominee, the number of shares which are owned of record or beneficially by the submitting stockholder and a description of all arrangements or understandings between the submitting stockholder and the candidate.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending a letter to the Corporate Secretary, Stockholder Communications of Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130. Each communication must set forth the name and address of the stockholder on whose behalf the communication is sent and should indicate in the address whether the communication is intended for the entire Board, the non-management directors as a group or an individual director. Each communication will be screened by the Secretary or his designee to determine whether it is appropriate for presentation to the Board or such director(s). Examples of inappropriate communications include junk mail, spam, mass mailings, resumes, job inquiries, surveys, business solicitations and advertisements, as well as unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, unsuitable, frivolous, patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate material. Communications determined to be appropriate for presentation to the Board or the director(s) to whom it is addressed will be submitted to the Board or such director on a periodic basis. Any communications that concern complaints regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters will be handled in accordance with procedures adopted by the Audit Committee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available for review on our website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php, and is also available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to us at Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130, Attention: Investor Relations. Each of our directors, employees and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Accounting and Financial Officer, and all of our other principal executive officers, are required to comply with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. There have not been any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to any of our executive officers or directors in the past year.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

Our Board is responsible for overseeing the management of our business. We keep our directors informed of our business at meetings and through reports and analyses presented to the Board and the committees of the Board. Regular communications between our directors and management also occur apart from meetings of the Board and committees of the Board.

Meeting Attendance

Our Board generally holds meetings on a quarterly basis, but may hold additional meetings as required. During fiscal year 2012, the Board held three regularly scheduled meetings. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the Board meetings he was eligible to attend and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of Board meetings and meetings of each committee of the Board on which he was serving. We do not have a policy requiring that directors attend our annual meeting of stockholders. The 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is our first annual meeting since 2008.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board currently has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Stephen Austin (Chairperson), Jeffrey Abrams and Paul Finnegan. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), and meets all other qualifications under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(e) and the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Board has also affirmatively determined that Stephen Austin and Paul Finnegan each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933. During 2012, the Audit Committee held two meetings.

The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter, which is available for review on our website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include overseeing, reviewing and evaluating our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting processes, internal control functions and the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and as necessary, the termination of our independent auditors.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Paul Finnegan (Chairperson), Stephen Austin and Jeffrey Abrams. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as such term is defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). During 2012, the Compensation Committee met one time. Our Board has adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee which is available for review on our website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php. The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to our Board concerning the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, and directors, oversees the administration of our stock option and employee benefits plans, and reviews general policy relating to compensation and benefits.

Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee

During fiscal 2012 and through June 30, 2013, our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee was composed of Messrs. Paul Finnegan, Stephen Austin and Jeffrey Abrams. Effective on July 1, 2013, Mr. Finnegan resigned as chairman and member of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee and Mr. Bassani joined the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee and currently serves as its chairman. Our Board has determined that each member of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). The committee evaluates and recommends to the Board nominees for each election of directors. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee met one time in 2012. Our Board has adopted a charter for the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee and a copy of that charter is available for review on our website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php. The responsibilities of the committee include making recommendations to the Board with respect to the nominations or elections of directors and providing oversight of our corporate governance policies and practices.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board may, but is not required to, select a Chairman of the Board on an annual basis. In addition, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer may be filled by one individual or two different individuals. Mr. Baum currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Kammer serves as Chairman of our Board. Dr. Kammer is not an employee of the Company but does provide consulting services to the Company in addition to his services as Chairman.

The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are separated, which allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Our Board recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman. Our Board also believes that this structure better enables active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of our Board. Our Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not affected its leadership structure.

While our Bylaws do not require that our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions be separate, our Board believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for us at this time and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance. Our separated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions are augmented by the independence of four of our six directors, and our independent Board committees that provide appropriate oversight of our management and the Company.

We believe that the independent nature of the Board committees, as well as the practice of our independent directors regularly meeting in executive session without Dr. Kammer, Mr. Baum or other members of our management present, ensures that our Board maintains a level of independent oversight of management that we believe is appropriate for our company.

Board Role in Risk Management

The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant Board committees. These committees then provide reports to the full Board. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, and other risks. The Board and its committees oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility, as summarized below. Each committee meets in executive session with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors as required.

Board/Committee		Primary Areas of Risk Oversight
Full Board		Risks and exposures associated with our business strategy and other current matters that may present material risk to our financial performance, operations, prospects or reputation.
Audit Committee		Overall risk management profile and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, material pending legal proceedings involving the Company, other contingent liabilities, as well as other risks and exposures that may have a material impact on our financial statements.
Compensation Committee		Risks and exposures associated with management succession planning and executive compensation programs and arrangements, including incentive plans.
Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee		Risks and exposures associated with director succession planning, corporate governance, and overall board effectiveness.

Transactions with Related Persons

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and through the date of this Proxy Statement, other than as described below, there have been no transactions, and there are no currently proposed transactions, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Secured Line of Credit

Mr. Baum and Dr. Kammer were appointed to our Board on December 16, 2011, following the closing of the Line of Credit Agreement and the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock by DermaStar International, LLC (“DermaStar”) further described below. Mr. Baum and Dr. Kammer served as Managing Members of DermaStar prior to DermaStar’s conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock into common stock and the distribution of all shares of capital stock and warrants held by DermaStar to its members in July 2012.

On November 21, 2011, we entered into a Secured Line of Credit Letter Agreement (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) with DermaStar, pursuant to which DermaStar agreed to lend us funds under a line of credit upon certain conditions, including the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court. The Line of Credit Agreement became effective on December 9, 2011, in connection with the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court. The Line of Credit Agreement provided for advances of up to an aggregate of $750,000, subject to the satisfaction by us of certain conditions in connection with the initial advance and each subsequent advance. The largest outstanding principal balance under the line of credit at any time was $750,000. Interest accrued at 10% per annum. No interest payments were made by us during the period other than in connection with the conversion of the line of credit described below.

On April 25, 2012, the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the line of credit, an aggregate of $762,534, was converted into 193,046 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 48,262 shares of common stock at the offering price and on the terms of the April Private Placement described below, pursuant to the terms of a conversion agreement we entered into with DermaStar on April 20, 2012. The warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the April Private Placement. The line of credit was terminated upon the completion of the conversion.

Series A Preferred Stock Purchase

In partial consideration for and in connection with the Line of Credit Agreement, on November 21, 2011 we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement with DermaStar, pursuant to which we agreed to issue 10 shares of newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to DermaStar for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. The Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, became effective on December 9, 2011, in connection with the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court. On December 12, 2011, we and DermaStar consummated the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.

On June 29, 2012, DermaStar converted the 10 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by it into 1,499,700 shares of our common stock. In connection with the conversion, we paid to DermaStar $200,000 as partial consideration for the conversion pursuant to a conversion agreement. Immediately following the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, all 10 shares were retired to our treasury and cancelled. The conversion agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s disinterested directors, with Mr. Baum and Dr. Kammer abstaining.

7.5% Convertible Promissory Note

On April 5, 2010, we issued a $1,000,000 7.5% Convertible Promissory Note (the “Convertible Note”) to Alexej Ladonnikov, an existing stockholder of the Company. The Convertible Note had an annual interest rate of 7.5% and all principal and interest were due and payable on its maturity date, April 5, 2012.

During January 2012, Mr. Ladonnikov sold 80% of the Convertible Note to DermaStar in a private transaction. Effective as of January 25, 2012, we entered into separate waiver and settlement agreements with DermaStar and Mr. Ladonnikov. Under each of the waiver and settlement agreements, the holders of the Convertible Note agreed to forever waive (i) their rights to accelerate the entire unpaid principal sum of the Convertible Note and all accrued interest pursuant to Section 1 of the Convertible Note, (ii) their rights under Section 7 of the Senior Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated April 5, 2010, and (iii) certain conversion rights pursuant to Section 3 of the Convertible Note. Under the terms of the waiver and settlement agreement with DermaStar, we and DermaStar agreed to the mandatory conversion of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Note and $56,087 in current accounts payable of the Company held by DermaStar into our common stock at a conversion price of approximately $0.6668 per share at such time as we had a sufficient number of shares of authorized common stock to effect such conversion. Under the terms of the waiver and settlement agreement with Mr. Ladonnikov, we and Mr. Ladonnikov agreed to the mandatory conversion of the 20% of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Note held by Mr. Ladonnikov, at such time as we had a sufficient number of authorized common shares to effect such a conversion, into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.60. Mr. Ladonnikov also agreed to make a one-time payment of $50,000 to us at such time as the Convertible Note was converted into common stock.

On February 28, 2012, effective immediately following the effective time of our Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock and implementing the one-for-eight reverse split of our common stock, the entire outstanding balance and all accrued but unpaid interest owing under the Convertible Note and the accounts payable held by DermaStar were converted into 1,835,830 shares of common stock, and the Convertible Note was terminated. At the time of conversion, there was approximately $142,603 in accrued and unpaid interest due under the Convertible Note. Mr. Ladonnikov made the required one-time payment of $50,000 to us at the time of the conversion.

Company Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions

The charter of the Audit Committee of our Board tasks the Audit Committee with review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis (if such transactions are not reviewed and overseen by another independent body of the Board). In accordance with that policy, the Audit Committee’s general practice is to review and oversee those transactions that are reportable as related party transactions under the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Management advises the Board of Directors on a regular basis of any such transaction that is proposed to be entered into or continued and seeks approval.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such person.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and the written representations from certain of the reporting persons that no other reports were required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, all executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a), except as follows: (i) stockholder Don Miloni filed a late Form 3 on March 18, 2013; (ii) stockholder Professional Compounding Centers of America, Inc. filed a late Form 3 on March 8, 2013; (iii) former stockholder DermaStar International, LLC (A) filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting transactions that occurred on February 28, 2012 and April 25, 2012, which were improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012 and (B) filed a late Form 4 on July 20, 2012 reporting transactions that occurred on June 29, 2012 and July 12, 2012; (iv) director Jeffrey Abrams filed a late Form 4 on April 27, 2012 reporting transactions that occurred on April 1, 2012; (v) officer and director Mark Baum (A) filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting transactions that occurred on February 28, 2012, April 1, 2012 and April 25, 2012, which were improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012 and (B) filed a late Form 4 on July 20, 2012 reporting transactions that occurred on June 29, 2012 and July 12, 2012; (vi) officer Andrew Boll filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting a transaction that occurred on February 1, 2012, which was improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012; (vii) officer and former director Balbir Brar filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting transactions that occurred on January 25, 2012 and April 1, 2012, which were improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012; (viii) director Paul Finnegan filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting transactions that occurred on January 25, 2012 and April 1, 2012, which were improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012; (ix) director Robert Kammer (A) filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting transactions that occurred on February 28, 2012, April 1, 2012 and April 25, 2012, which were improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 30, 2012 and (B) filed a late Form 4 on July 20, 2012 reporting transactions that occurred on June 29, 2012 and July 12, 2012; (x) director Stephen Austin filed a late Form 4 on August 15, 2012 reporting a transaction that occurred on July 26, 2012; and (xi) officer Joachim Schupp filed a late Form 5 on March 15, 2013 reporting a transaction that occurred on February 15, 2012, which was improperly reported on a Form 3 filed on April 27, 2012.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation for Service on the Board of Directors during Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012

We did not have a set director compensation program in place for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012; however, the Board of Directors approved the following compensation to our directors for their service as directors during 2012:

On April 1, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the grant to each of our directors on that date, including our employee and non-employee directors, of an option to purchase up to 25,000 shares of our common stock under the Plan (each, a “2012 Director Option”). Dr. Brar, Mr. Baum, Dr. Kammer, Dr. Finnegan and Dr. Abrams each received a 2012 Director Option. The 2012 Director Options have an exercise price of $4.50 per share and a term of five years, and vested quarterly over a one year period such that options to purchase 6,250 shares vested on each of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 (subject to continued service as a director on each such date). In addition, on April 1, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the grant to director Dr. Abrams of an option to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common stock under the Plan. The option has an exercise price of $4.50 per share and a term of ten years, and vested in equal monthly installments over a one year period.

On July 26, 2012, in connection with his appointment as a director, the Board of Directors granted to Mr. Austin an option to purchase up to 17,123 shares of our common stock under the Plan. That option has an exercise price of $4.50 per share and a term of five years, and vests in equal monthly installments over a period of one year commencing on January 1, 2013. In addition, the Board of Directors approved our payment to Mr. Austin of a quarterly cash payment of $5,000 for his services as a director and a quarterly cash payment of $1,250 for his services as the chair of the Audit Committee.

In addition, the Board of Directors approved the payment to Mr. Bassani of a quarterly cash payment of $5,000 for his services as a director.

Compensation for Certain Advisory Services during Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012

On January 17, 2012, Dr. Finnegan entered into a senior advisory agreement with the Company, pursuant to which he was to provide certain consulting services to the Company in addition to his services as a director. Under the terms of the senior advisory agreement, Dr. Finnegan provided consulting services in the area of drug and technology development, among other things, for consideration of $18,000 per quarter. The agreement was to terminate on the earlier of the completion of the services or the fourth anniversary of the date of the agreement. In connection with the senior advisory agreement, on January 25, 2012, the Company granted Dr. Finnegan a stock option to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock under the Plan with an exercise price of $3.20 per share. Effective May 9, 2012, we entered into a termination agreement terminating the advisory agreement with Dr. Finnegan. No cash compensation was paid to Dr. Finnegan under this advisory agreement. In addition, effective May 9, 2012, we also entered into an amendment to Dr. Finnegan’s option agreement which modifies the vesting schedule of the option to provide that the option to purchase 40% of the shares covered by the grant will vest on September 30, 2012, 40% will vest on March 31, 2013 and 20% will vest on September 30, 2013, provided that Dr. Finnegan is serving as a director, employee or consultant at the time of such vesting. Pursuant to a second amendment to Dr. Finnegan’s stock option agreement, Dr. Finnegan has agreed to not sell more than 5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock acquired through the exercise of his stock option in any monthly period without the approval of the Board of Directors.

Effective April 1, 2012, we entered into an advisory agreement with director Dr. Kammer, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which Dr. Kammer will provide certain services to us in addition to his services as a director. These services include providing management and advice regarding the operations of the registration clinical trials including start-up and on-going clinical operational and development activities, manufacturing and quality control of the clinical and commercial supplies, project and operational management, assistance in the identification of new drug delivery technologies that may be available for acquisition or license and assistance in the development of our intellectual property strategy. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, Dr. Kammer is to be compensated $10,000 per month in the form of common stock based on a per share price of $4.50. Dr. Kammer and the Company have agreed that the common stock issuable to Dr. Kammer as compensation under his advisory agreement is to be accrued and issued on a quarterly or annual basis. Upon the completion of a financing transaction yielding not less than $15,000,000, Dr. Kammer may unilaterally choose to be paid in either cash or common stock at the $4.50 per share price described above. As additional compensation under the advisory agreement, on April 1, 2012 the Company granted Dr. Kammer an option to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock under the Plan, which stock option has an exercise price of $4.50 per share, expires on May 31, 2017, and vests according to the following schedule: 15,000 shares vest on the date of grant and the remaining shares vest monthly over a two year period beginning on May 1, 2012. The advisory agreement is to terminate on the earlier of the completion of the services or the second anniversary of the agreement. Pursuant to an amendment to Dr. Kammer’s advisory agreement, Dr. Kammer has agreed to not sell more than 5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock acquired as compensation under that agreement, through the exercise of stock options or otherwise, in any monthly period without the approval of the Board of Directors.

On July 18, 2012, the Board of Directors granted to Dr. Kammer 40,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outside of the Plan in connection with his services as a consultant and advisor to the Company. The RSUs are subject to certain performance-based vesting criteria, such that all 40,000 RSUs will vest at such time as the Company meets the primary endpoints of its Phase III clinical studies for Impracor.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) added Section 14A to Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules.

Our named executive officer compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success. Our Compensation Committee believes an effective compensation program is one that is designed to recruit and retain executive leadership focused on attaining long-term corporate goals and increasing stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that it has taken a responsible approach to compensating our named executive officers.

We urge stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation table and other related compensation tables and narratives, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the policies and procedures described and explained therein are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executive officers reported in this proxy statement supports and contributes to the Company’s long-term success.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 14A of the Exchange Act, as added by the Dodd-Frank Act, also enables our stockholders to indicate their preference as to how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every year, once every two years, or once every three years. Stockholders also may abstain from voting on this proposal.

After careful consideration of this proposal, the Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and therefore your Board recommends that you vote for a three year (3-year) frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation.

In formulating its recommendation, our Board considered that a triennial vote will allow stockholders to better evaluate our executive compensation program in relation to our short- and long-term company performance. Additionally, a triennial vote will provide us with time to respond to stockholder concerns and implement appropriate revisions.

The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every one, two or three years, or abstain from voting) and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the board of directors. You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of once every year (“1 year”), once every two years (“2 years”), once every three years (“3 years”), or you may abstain from voting.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that is preferred by our stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board of Directors or the Company in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option preferred by our stockholders.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that is preferred by our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining which option receives the largest number of votes cast.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR A THREE YEAR (3-YEAR) FREQUENCY FOR THE STOCKHOLDER ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION AWARDED TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Named Executive Officer Compensation Determinations and Considerations

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our philosophy in setting compensation policies for executive officers has two fundamental objectives: (1) to attract, motivate and retain a highly skilled team of executives and (2) to align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding both short-term and long-term performance and tying compensation to increases in stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation should be directly linked both to continuous improvements in corporate performance (“pay for performance”) and the achievement of objectives that are expected to increase stockholder value. In furtherance of this goal, the Compensation Committee considers the following guidelines when making compensation decisions:

●

providing a competitive total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives with the skills and experience required for the achievement of business goals;

●

aligning compensation elements with the Company’s annual goals and long-term business strategies and objectives;

●

promoting the achievement of key strategic and financial performance measures by linking short-term and long-term cash and equity incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance goals; and

●

aligning executives’ incentives with the creation of stockholder value.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the primary concern of the Board (and, after its establishment, the Compensation Committee) was to assemble a strong management team while still conserving the Company’s cash as it pursued obtaining the financing necessary to resume operations following the dismissal of the Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in December 2012 (as described in greater detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012). As a result, the Board determined to pursue a compensation program heavily weighted towards the grant of equity incentive awards over cash incentive plans and base salary. This approach has the added benefit of strongly aligning the objectives of management with those of our stockholders with respect to long-term performance and success. The Compensation Committee expects to periodically reassess the appropriate weighting of cash and equity compensation in light of the Company’s expenditures in connection with its operations and working capital needs.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for our Chief Executive Officer and approves or revises recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer regarding all of the non-equity compensation of our other named executive officer. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of all other officers are made by our Chief Executive Officer.

Our Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each other elected officer. The conclusions reached and recommendations based on this review, including with respect to salary adjustments and annual award amounts, are presented to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to executives.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee evaluates auditor performance, manages relations with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and evaluates policies and procedures relating to internal control systems. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee Charter that has been adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at http://imprimis.investorroom.com/index.php. All members of the Audit Committee currently meet the independence and qualification standards for Audit Committee membership set forth in the listing standards provided by NASDAQ and the SEC.

Other than Mr. Austin, the Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors. The members’ functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee serves a board-level oversight role in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the auditors, and the experience of the Audit Committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including the Company’s system of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. This review included a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting, including the nature and extent of disclosures in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Audit Committee also reviewed the progress and results of the testing of the design and effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Audit Committee also reviewed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, their judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard AU Section 380, Communication with Audit Committees and Rule 2-07 of SEC Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management and the Company, including the matters required by the applicable rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition to the matters specified above, the Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope, plans and estimated costs of their audit. The Committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm periodically, with and without management present, to discuss the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s examinations, the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s reviews of the quarterly financial statements, and drafts of the quarterly and annual reports.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements should be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

This report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are the Company’s stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker, direct your written request to Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 12626 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130 or call Investor Relations at (858) 704-4041. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders. To be eligible for inclusion in our 2014 proxy statement, a stockholder’s proposal must be received by us no later than March 19, 2014, unless the date of our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is more than 30 days before or after the one-year anniversary date of the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in which case in which case such proposals must be received by the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send applicable proxy materials. In addition, stockholder proposals must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

ANNUAL REPORT

Our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K accompanies the proxy materials being provided to all stockholders. We will provide, without charge, additional copies of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K upon the receipt of a written request by any stockholder.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
