Item 9B. Other Information
Metuchen ABC
In order to satisfy the Obligations, on March 31, 2025, the Board determined and approved that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders to effect assignment of the Metuchen Assets for the benefit of Metuchen’s creditors. In accordance with state law, the Company expects Metuchen to assign all of its right, title, interest in, and custody and control of Metuchen’s property to a special purpose vehicle that will be managed by a third-party fiduciary. Upon the completion of the Assignment, the Assignee will have sole control over the Metuchen Assets and Metuchen will no longer operate its business or control the liquidation or distribution of its assets or the resolution of claims. The Assignment is a judicial insolvency procedure, which is commenced by Metuchen entering a contractual assignment for the benefit of creditors that effectuates the assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, and setting over to the Assignee, in trust, of all of the Metuchen Assets. The Assignee is then expected to liquidate the property through an auction sale and distribute the proceeds to Metuchen’s creditors according to their respective priorities at law to satisfy Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State of California. If any proceeds remain after all of Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations, and costs associated with the liquidation process have been satisfied, any remaining proceeds will be distributed to Metuchen’s equity holder, which is the Company.
Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, by and between Metuchen and Sherwood, Sherwood agreed to provide certain consulting and advisory services in connection with the ABC, including in connection with the sale process and budgeting and planning process. In consideration for the Services, Metuchen has agreed to pay a fee to Sherwood equal to $60,000 and a cash fee equal to 9% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Metuchen Assets and has agreed to reimburse Sherwood for certain reasonable out of pocket expenses.

Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements
As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2024, Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a letter (the “May 2024 Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the May 2024 Letter, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Listing Rule”). The May 2024 Letter also indicated that the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 11, 2024, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On November 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that it was eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period through May 12, 2025, to regain compliance (the “Compliance Period”).
On March 26, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “March 2025 Letter”) from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company’s Common Stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, and, accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Bid Price Listing Rule”). On March 31, 2025, the Company timely requested an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination to delist the Company’s Common Stock on April 4, 2025, as a result of the Low Bid Price Listing Rule, which automatically stayed the delisting action, pending such hearing by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Accordingly, the March 2025 Letter from the Staff has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock at this time. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PTPI.”
At the hearing, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Listing Rule. On March 18, 2025, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in connection with the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 10, 2025, to approve certain proposals, including approval of a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock to increase the per share market price of the Company’s Common Stock to meet the Bid Price Listing Rule. Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that such proposal will be approved by Nasdaq.
No assurances can be provided that the Company will obtain a favorable decision from the Hearings Panel, and/or that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.
