Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, Liquidity and Going Concern

Nature of Operations

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 14, 2020, for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), and certain subsidiaries of Petros and Neurotrope. Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries: Metuchen, Neurotrope, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). The Company has historically been engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which the Company licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also historically marketed its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products (“VEDs”) through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV, including VEDs marketed as “Osbon ErecAid” and “PosTVac.”

In December 2024, the Company determined to discontinue sales of Stendra® to wholesalers. As a result of the Vivus Termination Agreement (as defined herein) entered into by the Company in March 2025, the Company is no longer engaged in the commercialization, development or sales of Stendra®. Additionally, Timm Medical and PTV are expected to be assigned to a third-party in connection with the ABC (as defined herein) of Metuchen, and accordingly, the Company will no longer be engaged in the marketing or selling of VEDs following the completion of the ABC process. Today, the Company is working towards the goal of becoming a leading innovator in the emerging self-care market driving expanded access to key nonprescription pharmaceuticals as Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) and nonprescription drug products with additional condition for nonprescription use (“ACNU Products”) treatment options.

Petros is pursuing the development of a proprietary integrated technology solutions platform (the “platform”) containing two components (i) SaaS, designed to assist pharmaceutical companies in operationalizing and commercializing an Rx-to-OTC switch as an element in the development of an ACNU Product, and (ii) a potential Software as a Medical Device (“SaMD”) component, which must comply with FDA governance and approval and is expected to be a consumer interface that guides the consumer in navigating appropriate self-selection or deselection, through the acquisition process of the OTC product. The Company has been working towards the development of the platform, which is currently in early development stages and is being designed to serve as a retail or online interface, with clinically established algorithmic logic qualifying the intended consumer-patient for purchase and use of an ACNU Product, while reducing subjectivity to the least possible degree and maximizing objective qualifiers to the greatest possible degree.

On April 29, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on April 30, 2025 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The shares of Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on May 1, 2025 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity and Going Concern

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. To date, the Company’s principal sources of capital used to fund operations have been the revenues from product sales, private sales, registered offerings and private placements of equity securities. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.9 million, negative working capital of $2.1 million from continuing operations, and accumulated deficit of $115.5 million. The Company’s plans include, or may include, utilizing cash and cash equivalents on hand, as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In January 2022, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Vivus in connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement in the principal amount of $10,201,758. On

October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note (as defined herein) and related Security Agreement (as defined herein) in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the principal balance of the note was $7,248,635 and is included in the current liabilities of held for sale. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

NASDAQ Capital Market Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

On May 15, 2024, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between April 3, 2024, through May 14, 2024, 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 “Rule”). The letter also indicated that the Company was provided with a compliance period 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 notice from the Staff granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Rule, or, until May 12, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s Common Stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. On May 6, 2025, the Company addressed these concerns before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). As a result of the Company’s hearing request pending appeal notice, all delisting actions, including in connection with the Rule, have been stayed, pending the outcome of the hearing before the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq staff will grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification.

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 Panel. Accordingly, the March 2025 Letter from the Staff has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PTPI.”

On April 8, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it did not comply with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Deficiency”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d), this deficiency became an additional basis for delisting, and as such, the Company addressed these concerns before the Panel on May 6, 2025. As a result of the Company’s hearing request pending appeal notice, all delisting actions, including the Stockholders’ Equity Deficiency, have been stayed, pending the outcome of the hearing before the Panel.

On April 28, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Staff had public interest concerns regarding the Company’s public offering of securities that closed on February 19, 2025, which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d) (the “Matter”). As a result of the Company’s hearing request pending appeal notice, all delisting actions have been stayed, including relating to the Matter, pending the outcome of a hearing which hearing occurred on May 6, 2025.

No assurances can be provided that the Company will obtain a favorable decision from the Panel, and/or that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.

Metuchen ABC

On January 18, 2022, Metuchen and Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Vivus Settlement Agreement”) related to the minimum purchase requirements under the Vivus Supply Agreement in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and certain reimbursement rights asserted by a third-party retailer in connection with quantities of the Company’s Stendra® product that were delivered to the third-party retailer and later returned. In connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company retained approximately $7.3 million of API inventory (representing the 2018 and 2019 minimum purchase requirements) out of approximately $12.4 million due under the Vivus Supply Agreement, in conjunction with forgiveness of approximately $4.25 million of current liabilities relating to returned goods and minimum purchase commitments. In exchange for the API and reduction of current liabilities, Petros executed an interest-bearing

promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758. The parties also entered into that certain Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022 (“Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement (the “Collateral”) to secure Petros’ obligations under the Note. The Security Agreement contains customary events of default. The Company recorded the impact of this transaction, including the gain in the first quarter of 2022.

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) financing issued by or to Metuchen (including any subsidiaries and intermediaries) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions, Vivus released 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Company’s existing open purchase order (the “Open Purchase Order”) being held by Vivus, which represented approximately a six-month supply of inventory. Pursuant to the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Vivus released the remaining 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Open Purchase Order, later during the first quarter of 2022, upon the Company’s satisfaction of the remaining regulatory submission requirements.

Under the terms of the Note, the principal amount of $10,201,758 was payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning on April 1, 2022, through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount accrued at a rate of 6% per year until the principal is repaid in full and was due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October of each calendar year, commencing on April 1, 2022. The Company had the option to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event of a default under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). If the Note is placed in the hands of any attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings, the Company will also be required to pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees.

On October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note and related Security Agreement in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. The outstanding principal amount on the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was $7,574,824 as of December 31, 2024. As a result of an event of default under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement existing and continuing by virtue of the Company’s failure to pay the Installment (as defined in the Note) that was due October 1, 2024 (the “Vivus Event of Default”), all the obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement (the “Obligations”) became immediately due and payable on the date of the Foreclosure Notice (as defined below).

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Vivus holds a security interest against the Collateral. On December 10, 2024, pursuant to a Notice of Proposal to Accept Pledged Collateral in Partial Satisfaction of Indebtedness Pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-620 (the “Foreclosure Notice”), Vivus proposed to accept all the Collateral (save and except the Specified License Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement); collectively, the “Foreclosed Collateral”) in partial satisfaction of the Obligations. Vivus further proposed in the Foreclosure Notice that its acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral would only constitute satisfaction of $2,000,000 worth of the Obligations and would not include any other amounts outstanding under the Note, the Settlement Agreement, or the Security Agreement, including but not limited to (i) all interest accrued or at any time accruing thereon and (ii) all other sums recoverable by Vivus from Metuchen by virtue of the Obligations. On December 13, 2024, Metuchen accepted and agreed to the Foreclosure Notice.

In connection with the Foreclosure Notice, Metuchen and Vivus entered into that certain termination agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to which, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Vivus License Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2025 (the “Vivus Termination Agreement”), subject to the survival of certain provisions as set forth therein. As a result of the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen no longer has any right in or to Vivus Technology (as defined in the Vivus License Agreement) in the United States of America and its territories and possessions, including Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases abroad, Canada, South America and India (the “Licensed Territory”) and Metuchen agreed to immediately cease the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Stendra® in the Licensed Territory. Metuchen further agreed to assign any trademarks incorporating the mark “Stendra®” to Vivus, subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein. In furtherance of the Foreclosure Notice, and pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Metuchen agreed to transfer all completed inventory of Stendra® and all substantially manufactured inventory of Stendra® on hand to Vivus at Metuchen’s sole expense within 30 days of the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement.

Pursuant to the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen agreed to provide transition services to Vivus, including transferring any agreements or arrangements with distributors of Stendra®, to enable the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Stendra® to proceed without disruption. Additionally, Metuchen agreed to transfer to Vivus any regulatory approvals with respect to Stendra® controlled by Metuchen or its affiliates within 30 days of the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement.

Pursuant to the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen further agreed that Metuchen will retain liability for payment of all gross to net sales deductions (including returns, rebates and chargeback) of Stendra® products that were sold prior to the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement and agreed to reimburse Vivus for any such deductions charged to or otherwise borne by Vivus.

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 all of the business, assets, properties, contractual rights, goodwill, going concern value, rights and claims of Metuchen, including Metuchen’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (the “Metuchen Assets”) for the benefit of Metuchen’s creditors (the “Board ABC Resolution”). In accordance with state law, the Company expects Metuchen to assign (the “Assignment”) 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 (the “Assignee”). 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 (collectively, the “ABC”).

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement (the “Sherwood Agreement”), dated as of March 31, 2025, by and between Metuchen and Sherwood Partners, Inc. (“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 (the “Services”). 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.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, may not be indicative of results for the full year.

Discontinued Operations

Assets and liabilities of a business that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale are separated in a disposal group. Disposal group net assets are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less expected costs to sell. After being classified as held for sale, assets are not depreciated or amortized.

Assets and liabilities of a disposal group that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as discontinued operations are presented separately for all current and prior periods in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The results of discontinued operations are reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (loss) for the current and prior periods beginning in the period in which the business meets the held for sale criteria. Income (loss) from

discontinued operations includes direct costs attributable to the business held for sale, and an estimate of costs from corporate functions dedicated to the business, but excludes corporate expenses composed of selling, general and administrative expenses not attributable to any of the operating segments (see Note 3).

Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refers only to the Company’s continuing operations.

The Series B Warrants became exercisable beginning on the first trading day following the date of Warrant Stockholder Approval (the “Initial Exercise Date.” Holders the Series B Warrants may effect an “alternative cashless exercise” at any time while the Series B Warrants are outstanding following the Initial Exercise Date. Under the alternative cashless exercise option, a holder of a Series B Warrant has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon a cash rather than a cashless exercise of the Series B Warrant and (ii) 3.0.

Subject to certain limitations described in the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal consideration of $0.0001 per share any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Series Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, respectively (or at the election of the holder of the Series Warrants,9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is

determined in accordance with the terms of the Series Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, respectively. However, upon notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation pursuant to the Series Warrants, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series Warrants, provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to the Company.

In connection with the Public Offering, (i) the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was adjusted to $6.00 per share pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations and, (ii) the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted to $0.24 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was adjusted proportionally to 2,700,000 shares pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants.

The Company considers the change in exercise price due to the anti-dilution trigger related to the Series A Preferred Warrants to be of an equity nature, as the issuance allowed the warrant holders to exercise warrants in exchange for Common Stock, which represents an equity for equity exchange. Therefore, the change in the fair value of the Warrants before and after the effect of the anti-dilution triggering event will be treated as a deemed dividend in the amount of approximately $8.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company valued the initial deemed dividend as the difference between: (a) the modified fair value of the Warrants in the amount of approximately $9.1 million and (b) the fair value of the original award prior to the modification of approximately $0.7 million. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Warrants before the effect of the anti-dilution triggering event was estimated utilizing the Black Scholes model using the following key inputs and assumptions: the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Preferred Warrants totaling 288,000; the exercise price of $56.25; dividend yield of 0%; remaining term of 3.40 years; equity volatility of 165.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%. The fair value of the Warrants after the effect of the anti-dilution triggering event was estimated utilizing the Black Scholes model and the following key inputs and assumptions: the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Preferred Warrants totaling 2,700,000; the exercise price of $6.00; dividend yield of 0%; remaining term of 3.40 years; equity volatility of 165.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%.

Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“Dawson”) acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Public Offering, pursuant to that certain engagement letter, dated as of January 24, 2025, between the Company and Dawson (the “Engagement Letter”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to pay Dawson a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Public Offering and reimbursed certain expenses and legal fees.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the Public Offering are approximately $9.6 million before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Company assessed the Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Pre-Funded and Series A Warrants met the requirements to be classified in stockholders’ equity. However, as discussed in the following paragraph, as the fair value of the Series B Warrants exceeded the proceeds received from the Public Offering, and thus the Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Warrants were recorded at their residual fair value of $0 upon issuance.

Transaction costs incurred attributable to the Series B Warrants of approximately $10.4 million were expensed immediately upon issuance, of which approximately $1.1 million represents cash broker and legal fees, and approximately $9.3 million represents the excess of the issuance date fair value of the Series B Warrants over cash proceeds.

6) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company held a special meeting of stockholders on April 10, 2025 (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Incentive Plan Amendment”) to the Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan by 40,000,000, to a total of 40,110,400 shares of Common Stock.

On February 17, 2025, the Company issued a total of 1,042,000 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchaseone share of Common Stock per Pre-Funded Warrant,1,600,000 Series A Warrants to purchase 0.25 share of Common Stock per Series A Warrant, and 1,600,000 Series B Warrants to purchaseone share of Common Stock per Series B Warrant in connection with the Public Offering. The Series A Warrants are exchangeable in the ratio of four Series A Warrants forone share of Common Stock.

The Company assessed the Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Pre-Funded and Series A Warrants met the requirements to be classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company assessed the Series B Warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Series B Warrants will be classified as liabilities as they do not meet the requirements to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, due to the potential change in the settlement amount of the Series B Warrants upon an alternative cashless exercise election.

The Company utilized a scenario-based option pricing model to calculate the value of the Series B Warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The fair value of the Series B Warrants of $18.9 million was estimated at the date of issuance using the following inputs and assumptions: the issuance date stock price of $4.00, the number of Series B Warrants issued totaling 1,600,000, and a 100% probability of the investors’ election for alternative cashless exercise at a ratio of Common Stock per Series B Warrant of 3:1 upon receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval. The Warrant Stockholder Approval was obtained on April 10, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $10.6 million related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Series B Warrants of approximately $8.3 million was estimated at March 31, 2025 utilizing a scenario-based option

pricing model using the following inputs and assumptions: the valuation date stock price of $1.75, the number of Series B Warrants outstanding as of the valuation date totaling 1,600,000, and a 100% probability of the investors’ election for alternative cashless exercise at a ratio of Common Stock per Series B Warrant of 3:1 upon receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval.

11) Fair Value Measurements

The Company maintains cash in checking and money market accounts with financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the time they are acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $8.9 million of cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, and approximately $1.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the year ended December 31, 2024. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2024, due to their short-term nature.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had warrant liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These fair value measurements were estimated using a scenario-based option pricing model, with the key inputs described in Note 7 above. Each of these fair value measurements was considered to be a Level 3 measurement by the Company as they used significant unobservable inputs, including the probability and expected date of stockholder approval.

The following table details the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and their fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025:

12) Subsequent Events

The Company recently received, and requested an appeal of, a delisting notice related to the Company’s low bid price pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii). On April 8, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it did not comply with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d), this deficiency now becomes an additional basis for delisting, and as such, the Company addressed these concerns before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

On April 28, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Staff had public interest concerns regarding the Company’s public offering of securities that closed on February 19, 2025, which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d) (the “Matter”). As a result of the Company’s hearing request pending appeal notice, all delisting actions have been stayed, including relating to the Matter, pending the outcome of a hearing which hearing occurred on May 6, 2025.

On April 10, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Incentive Plan Amendment”) to the Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Following the Special Meeting, on April 11, 2025, the Company filed the Share Increase Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

On April 29, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on April 30, 2025. The Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on May 1, 2025.

In connection with the Company’s 1-for-25 Reverse Stock Split and pursuant to the share combination event adjustment provisions in the Series Warrants, the exercise price of the Series Warrants was adjusted to $0.0586 per share (the “Warrant Reset”).

In connection with the Warrant Reset and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants, (i) the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price was adjusted to $0.0586 per share and (ii) the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted to $0.0586 per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was adjusted proportionally.

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company issued a total of 28,996,422 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Series B Warrants, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
