​

WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT RETURN MY PROXY?

If your shares are registered directly in your name, your shares will not be voted if you do not vote over the Internet, by telephone or return your proxy, or virtually attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. If you have misplaced your proxy, you may obtain another by following the instructions provided in the Notice or by accessing the Internet website at

www.envisionreports.com/LQDA and following the instructions contained on that website.

If your shares are held in “street name,” your brokerage firm, under certain circumstances, may vote your shares for you if you do not return your proxy. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares on matters that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) determines to be “routine.” If you do not give a proxy to your brokerage firm to vote your shares, your brokerage firm may either: vote your shares on routine matters, or leave your shares unvoted. Proposal 1, the election of three Class III directors, is not considered a routine matter. Proposal 2, the approval of the amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 115,000,000 shares, is considered a routine matter. Proposal 3, the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a routine matter. Proposal 4, the approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers, is considered a routine matter. Proposal 5, the approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the frequency of future votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, is considered a routine matter. We therefore strongly encourage you to provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm by submitting your proxy. This ensures your shares will be voted at the meeting according to your instructions. You should receive directions from your brokerage firm about how to submit your proxy to them.

IF I DO NOT GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO MY BANK OR BROKER, WHAT MATTERS DOES MY BANK OR BROKER HAVE AUTHORITY TO VOTE UPON?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. If you do not give instructions to your bank or broker within ten days of the Annual Meeting, it may vote your shares on our sole “routine” matter but will not be permitted to vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” items. The proposal to approve an amendment to our Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers, and the proposal to approve, by non-binding advisory vote, the frequency of future votes on the compensation of our named executive officers, are routine matters, while the election of our directors is a non-routine matter. When a bank or broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the bank or broker cannot vote on a particular matter because it is not routine, then there is a “broker non-vote” on that matter. Broker non- votes will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting. As a result, we strongly encourage you to submit your voting instructions and exercise your right to vote as a stockholder.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

It means that you have more than one account, which may be at the transfer agent, with stockbrokers or otherwise. Please vote over the Internet, or complete and return all proxies for each account to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

HOW MANY SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE MEETING?

A majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if the stockholder votes over the Internet or telephone, completes and submits a proxy or is virtually present at the Annual Meeting. Shares that are present that vote to abstain or do not vote on one or more of the matters to be voted upon are counted as present for establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present, we expect that the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until we obtain a quorum.

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH MATTER AND HOW ARE VOTES COUNTED?

Proposal 1—Election of Three Class III Directors For a Term Expiring at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

If a quorum is present or represented by proxy at the meeting, each Class III director nominee must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. A plurality means that the nominees with the largest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. If your broker holds your shares in “street name,” and if you do not vote your shares, your brokerage firm does not have the authority to vote your unvoted shares held by the firm since such matter is not considered routine. When a bank or broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the bank or broker cannot vote on a particular matter because it is not routine, then there is a “broker non-vote” on that matter. Broker non-votes do not count as votes “FOR” any nominee but will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting. You may vote “FOR” any one or more of the nominees or “WITHHOLD” from voting “FOR” any one or more of the nominees. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will not be considered as votes cast “FOR” any nominee and will therefore have no effect on the outcome of the vote. If you submit a proxy and no vote is specified on the proxy, and in the absence of directions to the contrary, the shares will be voted “FOR” each of the Class III director nominees.

Proposal 2—Approve the Amendment to Increase Authorized Shares of Common Stock under our Charter

To approve Proposal 2, if a quorum is present or represented by proxy at the meeting, stockholders holding a majority of Liquidia common stock outstanding must vote “FOR” the proposal. If a stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” As Proposal 2 is a routine matter, broker non-votes will not occur with respect to this proposal. If no vote is specified on the proxy and in the absence of directions to the contrary, the shares will be voted “FOR” the approval of an amendment to our Charter to increase the number of

authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 115,000,000 shares.

Proposal 3—Ratify the Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Year Ending December 31, 2024

To approve Proposal 3, if a quorum is present or represented by proxy at the meeting, stockholders holding a majority of Liquidia common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on the matter must vote “FOR” the proposal, meaning that the votes cast by the stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” As Proposal 3 is a routine matter, broker non-votes will not occur with respect to this proposal. If no vote is specified on the proxy and in the absence of directions to the contrary, the shares will be voted “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditor.

Proposal 4—Approve, by Non-Binding Advisory Vote, the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

To approve Proposal 4, if a quorum is present or represented by proxy at the meeting, stockholders holding a majority of Liquidia common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on the matter must vote “FOR” the proposal, meaning that the votes cast by the stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” As Proposal 4 is a routine matter, broker non-votes will not occur with respect to this proposal. If no vote is specified on the proxy and in the absence of directions to the contrary, the shares will be voted “FOR” the approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

Proposal 5—Approve, by Non-Binding Advisory Vote, the Frequency of Future Votes on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

To approve Proposal 5, if a quorum is present or represented by proxy at the meeting, stockholders holding a majority of Liquidia common stock present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on the matter must vote “FOR” the proposal, meaning that the votes cast by the stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” As Proposal 5 is a routine matter, broker non-votes will not occur with respect to this proposal. If no vote is specified on the proxy and in the absence of directions to the contrary, the shares will be voted “FOR” the approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the future vote of our

compensation of our named executive officers to occur every year.

The inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, will tabulate all votes.

Our Board recommends that you vote:

•

“FOR” Proposal 1—elect three Class III directors to serve on the Board for a term expiring at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal or death;

​

•

“FOR” Proposal 2—approve the amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock under our Charter;

​

•

“FOR” Proposal 3—ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024;

​

•

“FOR” Proposal 4—the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers; and

​

•

“FOR” Proposal 5—the approval to have future advisory votes on executive compensation every year.

​

We do not know of any other matters that may come before the Annual Meeting other than the election of Class III directors, the approval of the amendment to our Charter, the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm, the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers and the approval to have future advisory votes on executive compensation every year. If any other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment.

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than four business days following the Annual Meeting. To request a printed copy of our filings with the SEC, please write to Investor Relations, Liquidia Corporation, 419 Davis Drive, Suite 100, Morrisville, North Carolina 27560, or e-mail Investor Relations at IR@liquidia.com. You will also be able to find a copy on the Internet through our website at www.liquidia.com or through the SEC’s electronic data system, called EDGAR, at www.sec.gov. Our website is not part of this proxy statement; references to our website address in this proxy statement are intended to be inactive textual references only.

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE COSTS OF SOLICITING THESE PROXIES?

We will pay the costs of soliciting proxies. In addition to mailing the Notice, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail and in person, without additional compensation. Upon request, we will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for distributing proxy materials to stockholders.

HOW CAN I RECEIVE FUTURE PROXY STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORTS OVER THE INTERNET?

This proxy statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are available on our Internet site at www.liquidia.com. This proxy statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 203 are also available on the Internet site at www.envisionreports.com/​LQDA. Most stockholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving printed copies in the mail. If you are a stockholder of record, you can choose this option when you vote over the Internet and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents. If you are a stockholder of record and choose to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet, you will receive a proxy in the mail next year with instructions containing the Internet address to access those documents. If your shares are held through a broker or other nominee, you should check the information provided by them for instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet.

WHY IS THE ANNUAL MEETING BEING HELD VIRTUALLY?

We are excited to embrace the latest technology to provide expanded access, improved communication and cost savings for our stockholders and the Company. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting will enable more of our stockholders to attend and participate in the meeting since our stockholders can participate from any location around the world with Internet access.
