The merger proposal contemplates that stockholders of Conductus will receive shares of Superconductor common stock in exchange for their Conductus shares. Once the date of Superconductor’s stockholders’ meeting is set, Superconductor will mail a Proxy Statement to the address of record of each of its stockholders in connection with the proposed merger. This Schedule 14A is being filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order to file the documents attached as exhibits to this Schedule 14A (the “Exhibits”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information contained in this Schedule 14A and the Exhibits is summary in nature and does not provide all of the important information with respect to the potential merger. The Proxy Statement will contain important information about the proposed merger, and our stockholders should carefully review the Proxy Statement, and the documents which it references, before voting with respect to the merger. The Proxy Statement and related exhibits will also be available for free at the SEC’s website “http://www.sec.gov .”
