Organizational History

We are a Texas corporation formed on October 7, 2021. Our address is 15110 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75248. Our telephone number is (214) 242-9619. Our website iswww.MangoRX.com. We became a public reporting company on March 20, 2023, upon the effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 in connection with our initial public offering. Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MGRX”.

Overview

We connect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website atwww.MangoRX.com, for the provision of care via telehealth on our customer portal. We also focus on developing, marketing, and selling a variety of men’s wellness products and services via a telemedicine platform. To date, the Company has identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in the most recent years and especially related to the areas of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), hair loss, testosterone replacement or enhancement therapies, and weight management treatments. In this regard, we have developed and are commercially marketing a brand of ED products under the brand name “Mango,” a brand of hair loss products under the brand name “Grow,” a brand of hormone balance and therapy products under the name “Mojo,” and a brand of weight loss products under the brand name “Slim” (Mango, Grow, Mojo, and Slim are collectively referred to as the “Compounded Products”).

The Company is also marketing and selling an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved form of oral testosterone undecanoate to treat low testosterone in men and as a form of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), developed and produced by Marius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. under the brand name “Prime” powered by Kyzatrex® (“Prime”) (Prime and our Compounded Products collectively referred to as the “Pharmaceutical Products”). We also provide access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certain medications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations.

The Company, through the patent portfolio acquired as part of the Intramont IP Purchase Agreement (as further described below), is in the process of conducting Phase II clinical trials and efficacy studies to determine the effectiveness of its patented respiratory illness prevention technology against the likes of the influenza A virus (H1N1) and avian influenza (H5N1). The studies are anticipated to be completed in the 2 nd quarter of 2025 which will then determine the Company’s next steps in its commercialization and monetization efforts.

The Company, through its Master Distribution Agreement with Propre Energie, Inc. (“Propre”)(as further described below) intends to license certain intellectual property and patent rights from Propre relating to clinically proven, plant-based formulations targeting hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and skin brightening through advanced solutions marketed under the brand Dermytol® (“Dermytol”). The Company is in the process of preparing its marketing and distribution strategy for Dermytol and intends to commence operations under this agreement in the 3 rd quarter of 2025.

All Compounded Products are produced at and fulfilled by Epiq Scripts, LLC (“Epiq Scripts”), a related party compounding pharmacy, and are available to patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. The Company also uses Epiq Scripts to fulfill all patient orders of Prime (as further discussed below).

Our MangoRx branded Compounded Products currently consist of the following:

Mango ED - This product currently includes the following three ingredients: Either Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) or Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis), and Oxytocin, all of which are used in FDA approved drugs, as well as L-Arginine, an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. Epiq Scripts is currently 52% owned by Mr. Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

We currently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED product and anticipate doctors prescribing a dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Our Mango ED product currently includes the following amounts of the three ingredients: (1) either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin (100 International units (IU)) and L-Arginine (50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine (50mg).

Our Mango ED product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our products, including our Mango ED product, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA Act”), as discussed below. Additionally, because our Mango ED product is being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango ED product are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies.

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving (i) administration of Tadalafil or Sildenafil sublingually at the doses we provide patients, or (ii) compounding of Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine to treat ED, similar to our Mango ED products. We are, however, aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination of Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) and Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra). We believe that the potential safety risks associated with our Mango ED products are comparable to the safety risks associated with oral formulations of Tadalafil and Sildenafil approved by the FDA for the treatment of ED. We do not expect significant safety risks associated with L-arginine, as the FDA has recognized in its regulations that L-arginine may be safely added as a nutrient to foods. Clinical studies of intranasal Oxytocin have also found that Oxytocin is generally safe and well-tolerated.

‘GROW’ by MangoRx - Mango GROW currently includes the following four ingredients - (1) Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine®) and (2) Finasteride (the active ingredient in Propecia), each of which is used in FDA approved drugs, as well as (3) Vitamin D3 and (4) Biotin, which are available as dietary supplements. However, the fact that Minoxidil and Finasteride are used in FDA approved drugs, and that Vitamin D3 and Biotin, are available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to attempt to treat hair growth. Mango GROW is encapsulated in convenient chewable, mint-flavored rapid dissolve tablets (“RDT”).

We currently offer one dosage level of our Mango GROW product and anticipate doctors prescribing Mango GROW based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Our Mango GROW product currently includes the following amounts of the four ingredients: (1) Minoxidil (2.5mg), (2) Finasteride (1mg), (3) Vitamin D3 (2000IU) and (4) Biotin (1mg). Our Mango GROW product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our Mango GROW product and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the FFDCA Act.

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Minoxidil and Finasteride sublingually at the dose we provide patients, or the compounding of Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D3, and Biotin, to treat hair growth, as is contemplated by our Mango GROW product. We are, however, aware of other companies that are currently selling oral tablets for hair growth, including those using a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additionally, because our Mango GROW product is being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango GROW product are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies.

‘SLIM’ by MangoRx* -*SLIM currently includes the following two ingredients - (1) Vitamin B6, which is available as dietary supplement, and (2) Semaglutide, the active ingredient used in an FDA approved drug. However, the fact that Semaglutide is used in an FDA approved drug, and that Vitamin B6 is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to attempt to assist with weight loss or weight management. SLIM is encapsulated in convenient chewable, mint-flavored RDT.

We currently offer four dosage levels of our SLIM product and anticipate doctors prescribing SLIM based on their needs and medical history of the patient. Our SLIM product currently includes the (1) Vitamin B6 (10mg), and (2) Semaglutide, in either 0.5mg, 1.0mg, 1.5mg or 2.0mg variations, which amount is based on the prescribing practitioner. Our SLIM product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our SLIM product and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the FFDCA Act.

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Semaglutide as a RDT at the dose we provide patients, or the compounding of Semaglutide and Vitamin B6, to treat weight loss or weight management, as is contemplated by our SLIM product.

‘MOJO’ by MangoRx - This product is produced at our related party compounding pharmacy and is available to patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. MOJO currently includes the following three ingredients - (1) Dehydroepiandrosterone (“DHEA”), which is available as dietary supplement, (2) Pregnenolone, which is available as a dietary supplement, and (3) Enclomiphene Citrate, one of the active ingredients in Clomid and is used in an FDA approved drug. However, the fact that Enclomiphene Citrate is used in an FDA approved drug, and that DHEA and Pregnenolone are available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to attempt to treat hormone imbalances. MOJO is encapsulated in convenient chewable, mango-flavored RDT.

We currently offer one dosage level of our MOJO product and anticipate doctors prescribing MOJO based on their needs and medical history of the patient. Our MOJO product currently includes the following amounts of the three ingredients: (1) DHEA (10mg), (2) Pregnenolone (5mg) and (3) Enclomiphene Citrate (25mg).

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Enclomiphene as a RDT at the dose we provide patients, or the compounding of DHEA, Enclomiphene, and/or Pregnenolone, to treat hormone imbalances, as is contemplated by our MOJO product.

Additional Information Regarding our Compounded Products

Because our Compounded Products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA, our products have not had the benefit of the FDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur, we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.

We currently anticipate using funding we may raise in the near term to finance marketing and general operational expenses associated with the sale of our Pharmaceutical Products. We launched our website in mid-November 2022.

Our Compounded Products have been formulated as rapid dissolving tablets (RDT) using a sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach and liver. It is a generally established principle that sublingual drug absorption through the oral mucosa is generally faster than drug absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. This is because sublingual drugs that are absorbed through the oral mucosa directly enter the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver (see H. Zhang et al.,Oral mucosal drug delivery: clinical pharmacokinetics and therapeutic applications, 41 Clin Pharmacokinet 661, 662 (2002). Though the active ingredients that comprise our Mango ED product are meant to treat ED – an issue that according to a 2018 study published inThe Journal of Sexual Medicine has been estimated to affect over one-third of today’s men’s population (with prevalence increasing with age) – we are also aiming to brand ourselves as a lifestyle company marketed to men seeking enhanced sexual vitality, performance, and overall mood and confidence.

‘PRIME’ by MangoRx, Powered by Kyzatrex® - ‘PRIME’, by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex®, a FDA-approved oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) product, available by prescription, that is used to treat adult men who have low or no testosterone levels due to certain medical conditions. ‘PRIME’, by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex® is one of only three FDA approved TRT treatments that is delivered orally—as opposed to the traditional, invasive, and inconvenient injection-based drug delivery protocol. ‘PRIME’, by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex® delivers testosterone in a softgel capsule that is absorbed primarily via the lymphatic system, avoiding liver toxicity. The benefits of ‘PRIME,’ powered by Kyzatrex®, over traditional injectable TRTs include enhanced vitality, improved mood, sharper cognition, optimized physical performance, and balanced hormonal levels at 96% efficacy by day 90, as demonstrated in Phase 3 clinical research by Marius Pharmaceuticals. With ‘PRIME,’ MangoRx is working to expand broad-based consumer access to this therapy.

Our Contracted Telehealth Providers

In many states, including Texas where our principal business office is located, the corporate practice of medicine doctrine prohibits corporations from practicing medicine and from employing physicians to provide professional medical services. Many states that recognize this doctrine also prohibit physicians from agreeing to share the fees they receive for professional services with unlicensed entities or individuals, a practice that is commonly known as “fee splitting.” The requirements for compliance with any applicable corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting restrictions vary among the states. In Texas, for example, there is no statute that expressly prohibits fee splitting, but the corporate practice of medicine doctrine has been interpreted to prohibit physicians from ceding control over their fee structures to corporate entities or giving a substantial portion of the fees received to corporate entities.

In order to comply with corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting restrictions, we do not employ or directly contract with individual physicians or physician groups, nor do we control their medical decision-making or charges. Rather, the Company has entered into a variety of physician services agreements (the “Physicians Agreements”) with BrighterMD, LLC doing business as Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”), LocumTele, and Locum Tenens USA (collectively, the “Telemedicine Providers”), all of which counterparties have agreed to make available to us, healthcare professionals, to allow them to provide clinical services directly to our future customers via telehealth. We have integrated these healthcare professionals to allow for telehealth consultations and related services on our Mangoceuticals platform which has been developed and is complete. This platform is the backbone of our business as it connects consumers with both the medical provider and the pharmacy for fulfillment. It is also the system that we will use to create marketing funnels for outgoing marketing, customer management and support, and analytics for future sales.

Through our Physician Agreements, the healthcare professionals are responsible for the practice of medicine and control of the clinical decision-making.

After a patient visits our website and submits a request for a consultation with a health care professional, our Telemedicine Providers communicate the patient’s information to one of their affiliated physicians. The Telemedicine Providers and their physicians are responsible for conducting the telehealth consultation and any ongoing communication with the patient in accordance with applicable laws. The physicians make a determination, in their sole discretion, as to whether or not to prescribe our Pharmaceutical Products to potential customers. If the physicians prescribe our Pharmaceutical Products, then the customers pay us for our products. In turn, Epiq Scripts, LLC, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement discussed below, is provided information on the customer and compounding of our product, compound the product, and ship the product to customers using packaging and shipping materials which we supply.

We pay the Telemedicine Providers for each physician visit conducted in response to request made by a patient on our website, regardless of whether the physician prescribes our product to the patient. The fee we pay the Telemedicine Providers is fixed, set in advance and is negotiated at arms’ length after comparing the prices offered by similar services. We are not a party to any contracts between the Telemedicine Providers and any health professionals or physician groups and do not control how the Telemedicine Providers reimburse these providers.

Although our arrangement with the Telemedicine Providers, as summarized above, is structured to comply with applicable laws, including those restricting the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting, there may be a risk that a state agency, now or in the future as these laws (and interpretations of them) evolve, would conclude that the arrangement and fee structure between the Telemedicine Providers and their contracted physicians and/or our agreements with the Telemedicine Providers violate the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and fee splitting restrictions in Texas or in another state where a patient who uses our Mangoceuticals platform is located.

The Telemedicine Providers’ physicians are tasked with determining whether patients seeking our Pharmaceutical Products are eligible to be prescribed our Pharmaceutical Products, with the sole purpose of the telemedicine engagement being for the determination, in the physician’s sole judgment, of whether the patient is qualified to obtain a prescription for the Pharmaceutical Products. The Telemedicine Providers’ physicians are required to electronically send prescriptions to Epiq Scripts (the Company’s designated and accredited pharmacy partner), which financial relationship is required to be disclosed in writing to the patient via the Terms and Conditions listed on the Company’s website, including informed consent, and also informing the patient that the prescription is sent to the Company’s designated pharmacy partner. The Telemedicine Providers’ physicians are only able to prescribe our Pharmaceutical Products to patients seeking help for the treatment which the specific product provides (for example, Mango ED for treatment for ED and GROW for treatment hair loss) through our customer portal.

Our Related Party Pharmacy

As discussed in greater detail below under “—Material Agreements—Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” we have entered into an exclusive Master Services Agreement and statement of work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, for its specialty compounding and packaging capabilities, fulfillment, and distribution of certain prescription products available through our platform. These prescription products include our Pharmaceutical Products. Epiq Scripts is a related party because it was 51%-owned by American International Holdings Corp (“American International”) at the time of our entry into the Master Services Agreement and is currently 52% owned by Mr. Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, also served as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of, and had voting control over, American International at the time of the entry into the Master Services Agreement. Our company was previously wholly-owned by American International until April 16, 2022, when control of our company was sold to Cohen Enterprises, Inc., which entity is owned by Jacob D. Cohen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Cohen Enterprises”). Epiq Scripts was formed in January 2022 and only began compounding drugs for patients in November 2022. On February 15, 2023, the 51% of Epiq Scripts then owned by American International was transferred to Mr. Cohen as part of an exchange transaction, whereby Mr. Cohen agreed to cancel his preferred stock of American International, which provided him voting control over American International, in exchange for among other assets, American International’s ownership of Epiq Scripts. Epiq Scripts is currently 52% owned by Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Mr. Cohen has served as the co-Manager of Epiq Scripts since January 2022.

Epiq Scripts is currently fully licensed with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (“TSBP”) and further has State Board of Pharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses from the District of Columbia and 49 other states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, with the intent of obtaining a state license from Alabama, the remaining state by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Epiq Scripts hasobtained its National Provider Identifier (“NPI”) number and is now a member of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (“NCPDP”), a standards development organization. Additionally, Epiq Scripts has applied for the highest level of accreditation with the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (“URAC”), a Washington DC-based healthcare accrediting organization that establishes quality standards for the entire healthcare industry. Until Epiq Scripts receives a licenses in Alabama, we are limited to selling our Pharmaceutical Products in only the states in which Epiq Scripts holds licenses. Although Epiq Scripts is physically located in Texas, it can ship products to customers in each state in which it holds licenses.

As a result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide services to the Company in the District of Columbia and those 49 states described above and the Company will be unable to sell its products to any customers in any states other than those listed above, until Epiq Scripts is able to obtain licenses in other states and will thereafter be limited to selling products to customers only in the states in which Epiq Scripts holds licenses.

Our Customer Portal

Our customer platform connects consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website atwww.MangoRX.com, for the provision of care via telehealth and also provides access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certain medications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations. Additional features to this backend technology solution allow for the creation and management of customer accounts whereby customers have the ability to login, view and make changes to their respective accounts. These changes include, but are not limited to, reviewing order history, tracking order shipments, requesting and ordering product refills and making other profile changes such as shipping address and payment changes. Our portal is not unique to the industry and is not anticipated to be difficult or costly to replicate or replace.

The backend technology solution also houses and manages all customer data allowing the Company with additional key functionality, including but not limited to, providing customer service and support and data analytics for various marketing initiatives and reporting functions.

We do not anticipate selling any third-party products via our portal.

Our Growth Strategy

Utilize a variety of marketing channels using data analytics to attract customers

We currently market and advertise our Pharmaceutical Products on a variety of advertising mediums including, but not limited to, social media, online search websites, podcasts, television, radio, out-of-home, and other media channels, in compliance with applicable FDA rules and requirements. However, due to such rules and requirements, we are extremely limited in the content of the claims and promotional statements that we are able to make regarding our products under applicable FDA regulations. We believe advertising in a diversified set of media channels is important to prevent overreliance on any single channel and to maximize the exposure of our brand to our desired customers. We also reach customers through our own social media accounts, press coverage and public relations, internally developed educational and lifestyle content, and through engagement of social media influencers, hired and paid celebrities and talent, and physical brand advertising campaigns, in each case funding permitting, and in each case subject to applicable rules and regulations, which are expected to significantly limit the content of such marketing materials. We believe that this overall strategy will drive significant customer traffic to our platform, including direct type-in traffic and organic online search traffic.

We also utilize a marketing strategy focused on analytics and data. We have designed our internal systems to measure consumer behavior, including which types of consumers generate more revenue in their first purchase, generate more revenue over time, generate more gross profit from their purchases, and which types of consumers are most valuable over their lifetime. We plan on measuring the effectiveness of our marketing budgets and the rate of return we generate from our marketing campaigns. We have retained and plan on using outside marketing and advertising firms to assist management in identifying marketing and advertising campaigns, media purchases and mediums, and seeking to drive a sufficient rate of return from our marketing and advertising budgets.

Invest in our telemedicine platform to enable sales throughout the United States

We utilize both a synchronous and asynchronous approach through our telemedicine platform, connecting customers through our platform and contracted physicians and pharmacy. An asynchronous visit allows a physician to verify the patient’s identity, demographics and collect the medical history online without needing to physically see or speak to the patient. A synchronous visit requires the doctor to either speak directly to the patient and/or see the patient either via video conference or in person. As discussed above, we initially are focusing our sales in the District of Columbia and 49 states where our related party pharmacy is licensed, with the goal of eventually undertaking sales across all 50 states, pending licensing approvals of our related party pharmacy.

Provide subscription plans for recurring revenue and introduction of new products

We provide our customers with an option to purchase our Pharmaceutical Products on a subscription basis, where and when applicable. Subscription plans provide an easy and convenient way for customers to get ongoing treatment while simultaneously providing the Company with predictability through a recurring revenue stream.

For subscription plans, customers are able to select a desired timeframe in which to receive products, which range from once every month to once every six months. The customer will then be billed on a recurring basis based on the selected timeframe and specified quantity of product, which is shipped after each billing from our contracted pharmacy (Epiq Scripts). Customers are able to cancel subscriptions in between billing periods to stop receiving additional products and reactivate subscriptions. Our integrated technology platform serves customers from customer discovery, through the purchase of products on our website, to connecting customers with medical providers for telehealth consultations (through our contracted physician network), to the fulfillment and delivery of orders (through our contracted pharmacy), and finally through ongoing management by medical providers (also through our contracted physician network). We believe our platform provides us cost advantages and efficiencies to offer customers affordable prices and to generate increased revenues over time.

In addition to our Pharmaceutical Products, we intend to launch new products over time and offer additional subscription-based offerings which we hope will result in growth in revenue through recurring revenue streams.

Parent Subsidiary Contribution Agreement

On December 13, 2024, the Company, entered into a Parent Subsidiary Contribution Agreement with Mango & Peaches Corp., a Texas corporation (“Mango & Peaches”), a then recently formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company contributed substantially all of its assets, including ownership of: (a) its 98% ownership of MangoRx Mexico S.A. de C.V., a Mexican Stock Company; and (b) its 100% ownership of MangoRx UK Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom (collectively, the “Contributed Assets”), to Mango & Peaches, in order to restructure the ownership and operations of the Company, better segregate such operations and liabilities and provided for the issuance of a portion of the capital of Mango & Peaches to Mr. Jacob Cohen, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as additional consideration to Mr. Cohen, as discussed in greater detail below under “Item 11. Executive Compensation”—“Employment and Consulting Agreements”— “Jacob D. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer”, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue Mr. Cohen (a) 1,700,000 shares of the common stock of Mango & Peaches (representing 25.4% of Mango and Peaches’ then outstanding shares of common stock)(the “Mango & Peaches Common Shares”); and (b) 100 shares Series A Super Majority Voting Preferred Stock of Mango & Peaches, discussed in greater detail below (the “Mango & Peaches Series A Shares”), which issuances are subject to shareholder approval, which shareholder approval the Company expects to solicit from shareholders in the near future.

In consideration for the transfer of the assets, the Company received 4,999,999 shares of Mango & Peaches’ common stock, bringing its ownership to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Mango & Peaches upon the closing of the Contribution Agreement.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Mango & Peaches assumed all of the liabilities of the Company relating to the Contributed Assets contributed, but none of the other liabilities of the Company and the Company agreed to indemnify Mango & Peaches against any damages relating to a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company in the Contribution Agreement, or any claim relating to the Contributed Assets, before the Contribution Effective Date; and Mango & Peaches agreed to indemnify the Company against any damages relating to a breach of any representation or warranty of Mango & Peaches in the Contribution Agreement, or any claim relating to the Contributed Assets, after the Contribution Effective Date. The Contribution Agreement and the contribution and assumption provided for therein was effective December 15, 2024 (the “Contribution Effective Date”).

On January 9, 2025, Mango & Peaches filed a Certificate of Designations of Mango & Peaches Corp., establishing the designations, preferences, limitations, and relative rights of its Series A Super Majority Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with the Secretary of State of Texas, which was filed by the Texas Secretary of State on January 15, 2025, effective January 9, 2025 (the “Series A Designation”). The Series A Designation designated 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the rights of which are discussed in greater detail below:

The Series A Designation provides for the Series A Preferred Stock to have the following rights: No dividend, liquidation, redemption or conversion rights; voting rights providing that for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, have the right to vote on all shareholder matters (including, but not limited to at every meeting of the stockholders of Mango & Peaches and upon any action taken by stockholders of Mango & Peaches with or without a meeting) equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote (the “Total Series A Vote” and the “Voting Rights”), and that so long as Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, Mango & Peaches shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Formation or the Bylaws of Mango & Peaches so as to adversely affect the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) designate any additional series of preferred stock, the designation of which adversely effects the rights, privileges, preferences or limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iv) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Designation (except in connection with certain non-material technical amendments). Additionally, subject to the rights of series of preferred stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, Mango & Peaches cannot without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class: (a) issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the original issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (b) increase or decrease the total number of authorized or designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (c) effect an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series A Preferred Stock; (d) effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (e) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in the Series A Designation.

As a result of the issuance of the Mango & Peaches Common Shares and Mango & Peaches Series A Shares, Mr. Cohen will obtain majority control over substantially all of the assets and operations of the Company at the time of the entry into the Contribution Agreement, which following the Contribution Effective Date, are held by Mango & Peaches, including the right to vote 75.5% of Mango & Peaches outstanding voting shares as result of his ownership of Mango & Peaches Common Shares and the Mango & Peaches Series A Shares, which will provide him the right to approve any merger or consolidation of Mango & Peaches and/or any amendment to the Certificate of Formation of Mango & Peaches.

Additionally, Mr. Cohen, pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, as amended, discussed in greater detail below under “Item 11. Executive Compensation”—“Employment and Consulting Agreements”— “Jacob D. Cohen, Chief Executive Officer”, has the right to earn up to $10 million bonus (the “Mango & Peaches Bonus”), which is convertible at his option, at a conversion price of $0.50 per share, into up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Mango & Peaches. In the event the full amount of the Mango & Peaches Bonus, vests to Mr. Cohen and he converts such entire Mango & Peaches Bonus into 20,000,000 Mango & Peaches Bonus Shares pursuant to the conversion terms thereof, he will own 81.3% of Mango & Peaches outstanding common stock (not factoring in any other issuances), and 92.8% of Mango & Peaches’ outstanding voting stock (as a result of the ownership of the Mango & Peaches Series A Shares and not factoring in any future issuances). There is no assurance that any of the milestones will be reached by Mango & Peaches and/or that any portion of the Mango & Peaches Bonus will vest to Mr. Cohen or that any Mango & Peaches Bonus Shares will be issued to Mr. Cohen.

Material Agreements

Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts

On September 1, 2022, and effective on August 30, 2022, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts, which at the time was 51%-owned by American International. Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, served as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of, and had voting control over, American International at the time of the entry into the Master Services Agreement, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of American International. The Company was wholly-owned by American International until June 16, 2022, when control of the Company was sold to Cohen Enterprises, which is owned by Mr. Cohen. Epiq Scripts was formed in January 2022 and only began compounding drugs for patients in November 2022. On February 15, 2023, the 51% of Epiq Scripts then owned by American International was transferred to Mr. Cohen as part of an exchange transaction, whereby Mr. Cohen agreed to cancel his preferred stock of American International, which provided him voting control over American International, in exchange for among other assets, American International’s ownership of Epiq Scripts. Epiq Scripts is currently 52% owned by Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Mr. Cohen has served as the co-Manager of Epiq Scripts since January 2022.

Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement and a related statement of work (“SOW”), Epiq Scripts agreed to provide pharmacy and related services to the Company, the Company agreed to exclusively use Epiq Scripts as the provider of the Services (defined below) during the term of the agreement, so long as Epiq Scripts complies with the terms of the Master Services Agreement. The agreement also includes a 30 day right of first refusal for Epiq Scripts to provide pharmacy services for any new product that Mango may introduce during the term of the agreement.

Pursuant to the SOW, Epiq Scripts agreed to provide for the online fulfillment, specialty compounding, packaging, shipping, dispensing and distribution (collectively, the “Services”) of products sold exclusively via our website that may be prescribed as part of a telehealth consultation on our platform. Epiq Scripts also agreed to provide mail service pharmacy services to us on an exclusive basis during the term of the SOW.

We agreed to provide Epiq Scripts with all custom packaging materials, including but not limited to, individual sachet and/or blister packaging materials, outer box packaging, and any custom inserts and/or marketing information to accompany the prescription shipment, if any and to provide Epiq Scripts with quarterly sales forecasts to ensure Epiq Scripts has enough packaging materials on hand to cover a 90 day period. We agreed to pay for all direct shipping, delivery and related courier costs and to provide Epiq Scripts with direct access to any online accounts to access and generate shipping labels for the fulfillment and delivery of our products.

The SOW has a term through December 31, 2025, automatically renewable thereafter for successive one-year terms unless either party terminates the agreement at least 90 days before renewal thereof and the SOW is subject to the same termination rights of the parties as set forth in the Master Services Agreement (discussed below).

Pursuant to the SOW, we agreed to pay Epiq Scripts certain fixed rate fees for prescription fulfillment, processing and packaging (per prescription) and drug compounding (per pill), provided the per pill rate is reduced upon us exceeding 3,500 product packages per month.

Under the Master Services Agreement, we are solely responsible for billing and collecting funds from our customers and Epiq Scripts is paid out of funds that we actually collect.

The Master Services Agreement has a term of five years, automatically renewable to additional one-year terms thereafter unless either party provides the other notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the date of automatic renewal. The Master Services Agreement can be terminated (i) upon breach of the agreement by the other party, subject to a 90-day cure right, (ii) if a party enters into bankruptcy or fails to pay its debts as they become due, or (iii) if Epiq Scripts becomes unable to perform the services covered by the Master Services Agreement and any statements of work associated therewith.

Payments under the Master Services Agreement are due within 15 days after the end of each month during which collections are received. The Master Services Agreement contains customary confidentiality obligations, record retention provisions, audit rights, and representations and warranties of the parties. Each party to the Master Services Agreement agreed to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other and the other party’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against any and all nonparty claims, or actions for damages, liabilities (including strict liability), penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, expenses and costs) to the proportionate extent caused by (1) the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor or any of its employees or agents in connection with the performance of the agreement, or (2) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under the agreement by the indemnitor or any of its employees or agents. Additionally, the parties agreed that neither party will be liable to the other for special, incidental, or exemplary damages, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Master Services Agreement does not address product liability claims or assign any rights of indemnification or contribution in connection therewith.

We paid Epiq Scripts a total of $60,000 upon our entry into the Master Services Agreement, comprising $45,000 as a one-time non-refundable technology systems setup and implementation fee and $15,000 as an upfront retainer to be credited towards the future provision of pharmacy and related services as outlined and detailed in the Master Services Agreement and SOW. All costs related to the pharmacy services provided by Epiq Scripts are listed as related party costs of revenues on our statement of operations.

Epiq Scripts has filed with the URAC to obtain its pharmacy accreditation and obtained its first state license in the State of Texas in February 2022. Epiq Scripts has State Board of Pharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses to operate in the District of Columbia and the following 49 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming and plans to eventually obtain licenses in all 50 states by the end of the first quarter of 2025, with some state licenses easier to obtain and quicker to obtain than others.

As a result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide the Services to the Company in the District of Columbia and 49 states described above, and the Company will be unable to sell its products to any customers in any states other than those named above, until Epiq Scripts is able to obtain licenses in other states and will thereafter be limited to selling products to customers only in the states in which Epiq Scripts holds a license.

On September 15, 2023, we entered into a First Addendum to Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Epiq Scripts (the “First Amendment”).

Pursuant to the First Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the MSA to include certain Right of first negotiation rights and right of first refusal rights (each as discussed below). Additionally, the First Amendment provides for certain rights to Epiq Scripts in the event that the Company seeks to obtain pharmaceutical services in connection with certain Company products (collectively, “Pharmaceutical Services”) in jurisdictions other than the United States, including, without limitation, Mexico and the United Kingdom, where Epiq Scripts does not currently maintain licenses or permits (“Future Jurisdictions”, which shall also include, to the extent applicable, any state in the United States in which Epiq Scripts does not then hold required permits or licenses for the provision of the Pharmaceutical Services) and/or to terminate Epiq Scripts’ rights to provide exclusive Pharmaceutical Services in any current state of the United States or Future Jurisdiction where Epiq Scripts may then be providing Pharmaceutical Services to the Company (each a “Current Jurisdiction”). To date, there have been no fees paid to Epiq Scripts pursuant to this agreement.

Specifically, the parties agreed in the First Amendment that should the Company decide to transfer any services provided by Epiq Scripts in a Current Jurisdiction to another pharmaceutical service provider (“Transferred Services”), the Company will be required to pay Epiq Scripts a fee of 1% of the total gross sales of all Prescription Products (defined below) by the Company resulting from the Transferred Services in the Current Jurisdiction, for a period of the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the date the Company transferred the Transferred Services; and (b) through the end of the term of the MSA (including where applicable, any renewal term)(the “Non-Use Fee”). The Non-Use Fee is payable monthly in arrears, for calendar quarters, by the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. “Prescription Products” means Products (as defined in the MSA) sold by the Company which must be prescribed by a medical doctor.

Notwithstanding the above, the Non-Use Fee shall not apply, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Use Fee (a) in the event that the Transferred Services are provided directly by the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) in the event the Company decides to enter into an agreement with another pharmaceutical service provider to provide Pharmaceutical Services in a Future Jurisdiction; or (c) in connection with any services provided by any parties in any Future Jurisdictions.

The First Amendment also provides that until the fifth anniversary of the First Amendment, the Company shall notify Epiq Scripts in writing of any plans to (a) expand its need for pharmacy services outside of those contemplated by the MSA; (b) expand its need for pharmacy services into a new jurisdiction which Epiq Scripts does not then operate in (including, but not limited to new countries); or (c) begin providing pharmacy services internally (either through organic growth or acquisition). Thereafter Epiq Scripts has the right to provide the Company written notice of its intention to provide such services (as described in (a) or (b) above, whereafter the Company is required to discuss and negotiate such services in good faith with Epiq Scripts for a period of not less than 15 days). Otherwise, in the event of the occurrence of an event discussed in (c) above, the Company is required to discuss the possibility of Epiq Scripts either co-operating the pharmacy or providing management services to the Company in good faith for 15 days. In the event after such 15 day period, the Company and Epiq Scripts cannot come to a mutually agreeable agreement, the Company is under no further obligation regarding the matter set forth in the notice provided to Epiq Scripts.

Finally, the First Amendment includes a requirement whereby if Epiq Scripts receives notice of any proposed fundamental transaction involving Epiq Scripts or its assets, including any agreement, arrangement, offer or proposal (including a letter of intent, term sheet, form of definitive agreement or definitive agreement) for an asset sale or acquisition, merger, acquisition or sale of securities, or redemption or repurchase of securities, Epiq Scripts must provide the Company notice of such offer within three days, after which receipt the Company will have the right of first refusal for 30 days to become the purchaser in connection with the notified transaction, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in such notified offer and pursuant to the conditions of the First Amendment.

On January 30, 2025, the Company, with the approval of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s Audit Committee, made up of independent members of the Board of Directors, entered into two Assignment, Assumption and Novation Agreements (the “Epiq Scripts Assignments”) with Epiq Scripts. Pursuant to the Epiq Scripts Assignments, the Company assigned all of its rights under (1) the MSA, as amended; and (2) the Consulting Agreement with Epiq Scripts discussed below, to Mango & Peaches, Mango & Peaches agreed to take responsibility for all obligations thereunder, effective as of the assignment date, and Epiq Scripts agreed to novate the responsibility of the Company thereunder, effective as of the assignment date. Additionally, we agreed to indemnify Mango & Peaches for any liability under such agreements prior to the assignment date and Mango & Peaches agreed to indemnify us against any liability under such agreements after the assignment date.

Consulting Agreement with Epiq Scripts

On September 15, 2023, we entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Epiq Scripts. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Epiq Scripts agreed to provide pharmacy consulting services in connection with the Company’s global expansion efforts, and as reasonably requested by the Company, during the term of the agreement, which is for five years, unless otherwise earlier terminated (a) due to breach of the agreement by either party and the failure to cure such breach 30 days after written notice thereof; (b) the mutual agreement of the parties; or (c) the date that Epiq Scripts provides the Company written notice of termination, which may be at any time and for any reason.

In consideration for agreeing to provide the services under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Epiq Scripts (1) a one-time payment of $65,000, payable within ten days of the entry into the agreement, which was timely paid; and (2) a set fee, payable for each prescription drug pill sold by the Company for cash, to the extent such pill must be prescribed by a medical doctor, or sold through retail pharmacies over the counter, in jurisdictions where a doctor’s prescription is not required for the sale of such drugs, and sold in a Territory (defined below), which consideration per pill decreases each year that the agreement is in effect, and is only payable for the first five years of the agreement.

The Consulting Agreement further provides that no payments are due for the sale of any prescription pills until the First Sale.

Under the Consulting Agreement, (a) “Territory” means worldwide, except for the United States, including its territories and possessions and the District of Columbia; and (b) “First Sale” means the date that the first commercial sale of prescription pills occurs in the Territory. To date, there have been no fees paid to Epiq Scripts pursuant to this agreement.

Future payments are also required to be offset equitably for any prescription pill sold which is later refunded, charged back, returned, or reimbursed to a purchaser.

The agreement includes customary representations of the parties, confidentiality and non-solicitation provisions, rights of Epiq Scripts to audit the sales of prescription pills, subject to certain limitations and requirements, and the requirement that the Company reimburse certain expenses of Epiq Scripts, subject to certain limitations and pre-approvals.

On December 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Marketing Agreement with Marius Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Marius”) allowing the Company the use of the trademark “Kyzatrex®” oral testosterone undecanoate softgel capsules, for the purposes of branding, packaging, marketing, and selling Kyzatrex® on the Company’s website, and to be sold via its telehealth platform atwww.MangoRx.com. Pursuant to the Marketing Agreement, Marius granted the Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Marius Marks in the United States, for the purpose discussed above.

The Marius Agreement contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions and has an initial term of two years, automatically renewable thereafter for successive one year terms unless otherwise terminated (a) by Marius if the Company does not have at least 2,500 monthly customers of “Kyzatrex®” oral testosterone undecanoate softgel capsules at least 30 days prior to the end of the initial term, (b) by either party for cause in connection with a material breach that has not been cured within 30 business days of written notice thereof provided by the non-breaching party to the breaching party, or (c) by Marius in its sole discretion without cause by providing at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company. Marius may also terminate the agreement with written notice to the Company if the Company has not met at least 30% of the Minimum Subscribers within six months of the product launch date on the Company’s website.

Within 30 days of the date the Marius Agreement is terminated (or on the date of termination, which cannot occur earlier than 60 days after notice of termination is provided, if Marius terminates the Marius Agreement for convenience), we are required to stop and cease all use of the Marius Marks and are required to remove all references to the Marius Marks from our advertising/promotional materials, and signage.

During the term of the Marius Agreement and for a period of 12 months thereafter, we agreed to not create, publish or broadcast any advertisement or otherwise promote or market any other product containing testosterone undecanoate.

Pursuant to the Marius Agreement, and in consideration of the license granted thereunder, the Company issued Marius 6,667 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Marius Shares”) which are fully earned upon entry into the agreement. The Marius Shares were valued at $10.20 per share for a total of $68,000.

Patent Purchase Agreements

Intramont Technologies

Effective on April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Intramont IP Purchase Agreement”), with Intramont Technologies, Inc. (“Intramont”). Pursuant to the Intramont IP Purchase Agreement, we purchased certain patents and patent applications owned by Intramont, related to prevention of infections, including the common cold, respiratory diseases, and orally transmitted diseases such as human papillomavirus (HPV) (the “Patents”), in consideration for $20,000,000, which was payable to Intramont by (a) the issuance of 980,000 shares of the Company’s then newly designated 6% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), with a face value of $20.00 per share, for a total value of $19,600,000 (the “Series C Shares”); and (b) $400,000 in cash, (i) with $200,000 payable on or before June 30, 2024, (ii) $100,000 payable on or before August 31, 2024, and (iii) $100,000 payable on or before November 30, 2024 (collectively, the “Cash Payments”).

The Intramont IP Purchase Agreement, and the purchase of the Patents, closed on April 24, 2024, upon the parties entry into the Intramont IP Purchase Agreement, and the Series C Shares were also issued on April 24, 2024. The Intramont IP Purchase Agreement included standard representations and warranties and confidentiality and indemnification obligations of the parties, for a transaction of that type and size. The Company purchased the Patents through its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, MangoRx IP Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company.

The Intramont IP Purchase Agreement also included a grant back license, whereby the Company provided Intramont, an irrevocable, co-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable (except in the event of a change of control), non-sublicensable, worldwide, license to use the Patents for the lives thereof (the “Grant Back-License”). The Grant Back-License is subject to Intramont paying the Company a royalty of ten percent (10%) of gross worldwide sales of products sold by Intramont which utilize the Patents, beginning on April 24, 2025, and continuing until the end of the life of the last Patent (the “Royalty Payments”). The Royalty Payments are to be paid to the Company on an annual basis, within 30 days after the end of the calendar year.

Finally, the Intramont IP Purchase Agreement granted Intramont a right of first refusal, which provides that, if at any time prior to April 24, 2027, if we receive an offer to purchase the Patents and determine to accept such offer, or we determine to sell the Patents to a third party, we are required to provide Intramont the right of first refusal to either match such offer, or negotiate different purchase terms for the Patents.

A total of the date of this report, $57,000 of the Cash Payments has been paid to date, provided that Intramont has not declared a default under the IP Purchase Agreement or taken any action against the Company in connection with the failure to timely pay such Cash Payments.

On February 11, 2025, and effective on December 31, 2024, we and Intramont entered into a letter agreement, amending the IP Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment Letter”), pursuant to which Intramont has agreed that all funds paid by the Company towards the furtherance and development of the Patents would be credited against the Cash Payments owed to Intramont and we agreed to work in good faith with Intramont on financing, developing and commercializing the Patents.

As a result of the Amendment Letter, a total of $306,118 remains due to Intramont in connection with the Cash Payments as of the date of this Report, which the Company expects to pay over time, by way of expenses associated with the development of the Patents.

The Company intends to utilize the Patents by commencing research, development, clinical trial studies and efficacy testing on a variety of oral applications including, but not limited to, an oral dissolvable tablet (ODT), lozenge, toothpaste and/or mouthwash.

On April 19, 2024, the Company submitted for filing to the Secretary of State of Texas, a Certificate of Designations of Mangoceuticals, Inc. Establishing the Designations, Preferences, Limitations and Relative Rights of Its 6% Series C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series C Designation”), which was filed with the Secretary of State of Texas on April 23, 2024, effective as of April 19, 2024. The Series C Designation designated 6,250,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Designation provides for the Series C Preferred Stock to have the following terms:

Dividend Rights. From and after the issuance date of the Series C Preferred Stock, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized and declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of any funds legally available therefor, cumulative dividends in an amount equal to (i) the 6% per annum on the stated value (initially $20 per share)(the “Stated Value”) as of the record date for such dividend (as described in the Series C Designation), and (ii) on an as-converted basis, any dividend or other distribution, whether paid in cash, in-kind or in other property, authorized and declared by the Board of Directors on the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in an amount determined by assuming that the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock could be converted on the applicable record date for such dividend or distribution.

Dividends payable pursuant to (i) above are payable quarterly in arrears, if, as and when authorized and declared by the Board of Directors, or any duly authorized committee thereof, to the extent not prohibited by law, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (unless any such day is not a business day, in which event such dividends are payable on the next succeeding business day, without accrual of interest thereon to the actual payment date), commencing on June 30, 2024.

Accrued dividends may be settled in cash, subject to applicable law, shares of common stock (valued at the closing price on the date the dividend is due) or in-kind, by increasing the Stated Value by the amount of the quarterly dividend.

Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value (the “Liquidation Preference”), for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, but after the payment of any liquidation preference of any holder of senior securities, including the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which has a preferential right to payments in liquidation, and if the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are to be ratably distributed among the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Conversion Rights. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into that number of shares of common stock equal to the Stated Value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock, divided by the conversion price of $10.00 per share (i.e., initially a 2-for-1 conversion ratio) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The Series C Designation includes a conversion limitation prohibiting any holder and their affiliates from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock in the event that upon such conversion their beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed 4.999% (which can be increased as to any holder, to up to 9.999%, with 61 days prior written notice by such holder). The Series C Designation also includes a general restriction prohibiting the issuance of more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of the date of entry into the IP Purchase Agreement, without the Company’s stockholders approving such issuance(s) under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Voting Rights. The Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except in connection with the protective provisions discussed below.

Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a class: (a) amend any provision of the Series C Designation; (b) increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock; (c) amend the Certificate of Formation of the Company (including by designating additional series of Preferred Stock) in a manner which adversely affects the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock; (d) effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, cancel, or create a right to cancel, of all or any part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series C Preferred Stock; or (e) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series.

Redemption Rights. The Company may redeem the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock shares, from time to time, in whole or in part, at any time after April 24, 2025, and continuing indefinitely thereafter, at the option of the Company, for cash, at the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the shares redeemed.

The Royalty Payments are to be paid to the Company on an annual basis, within 30 days after the end of the calendar year.

Finally, the Greenfield IP Purchase Agreement granted Greenfield a right of first refusal, which provides that, if at any time prior to December 13, 2027, if we receive an offer to purchase the Greenfield Patents and determine to accept such offer, or we determine to sell the Patents to a third party, we are required to provide Greenfield the right of first refusal to either match such offer, or negotiate different purchase terms for the Patents.

The Company intends to utilize the Greenfield Patents by seeking out commercial opportunities that highlight what the Company believes are the patents innovative uses in nutraceuticals, emphasizing the potential for customized health supplements tailored to specific needs.

Market Overview

The Market for ED Products

According to a January 2022 report published by Verified Market Research, the Global Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market size was valued at $3.63 billion in 2020, mainly due to the increase in patient awareness and the early adoption of sedentary lifestyle. Verified Market Research also projects that the total Global Dysfunction Drugs Market size will contract to $2.95 billion in 2028. The expected reason for this contraction is poor patient compliance with erectile dysfunction drugs and the future availability of cost-effective imitation medicines, as well as side effects of ED drugs. We do not anticipate our Mango ED drug suffering from these limitations, as we believe our product is easy to use and that we have priced our product competitively. Separately, Grand View Research, in a July 2022 report, projects that the U.S. market (where we are initially marketing our ED product) for erectile dysfunction drugs estimated at approximately $1.1 billion as of 2021, will increase at a 7.4% compound annual growth rate though 2030.

It is also estimated that nearly 3-in-5 men in the US have suffered from erectile dysfunction, according to a survey reported in February 2022, by LetsGetChecked, a leading at-home health screening and insights company (based on research carried out by Opinium Research among 2,006 men in the USA, 1,178 of whom had previously experienced erectile dysfunction, from February 7-10, 2020). According to that study, age isn’t that big a factor either, with 56% of men 18 to 34 years old being affected, compared to 63% of those over the age of 55. The study also determined that most men blame psychological factors for ED – with 41% blaming stress, 34% blaming having “too much on their mind,” and 31% believing it is performance anxiety.

The Market for Mango GROW

According to the website of the American Hair Loss Association, (a) two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of hair loss by the age of 35, (b) by age 50, around 85 percent of men have significantly thinning hair; and (c) for around 25% of men, the start of male pattern baldness can begin before the age of 21. Additionally, and contrary to societal belief, we believe that most men who suffer from male pattern baldness are unhappy with their situation and would take steps to change that. In our experience, hair loss affects every aspect of the hair loss sufferer’s life including interpersonal relationships as well as the professional lives of those suffering.

According to a May 2022 market study entitled, “Hair Loss Prevention Products Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Product Type (Shampoos and Conditioners, Oils, Serums, and Others), Category (Natural & Organic, and Conventional), End User (Men, Women, and Unisex), and Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Retail, and Others)”, by The Insight Partners, the hair loss prevention products market size was valued at $23.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $31.5 billion by 2028, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028.

Mordor Intelligence LLP believes that the major factors driving the hair loss prevention market are changing lifestyle patterns, adoption of a hectic schedule that increases stress levels, which in turn results in frequent hair loss at an earlier stage among the young population, growing disposable income, and increased emphasis on appearances.

The Market for MOJO

We believe that hypogonadism (a condition where the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) do not produce enough sex hormones) is a growing concern in an aging male population and is associated with symptoms including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of lean muscle mass, loss of vitality, and depression. The most sensitive symptoms supporting a diagnosis of hypogonadism include erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. Historically treated using exogenous testosterone, concerns about possible adverse effects of testosterone have led physicians to seek alternative treatment approaches. Enclomiphene citrate is thetrans isomer of clomiphene citrate, a non-steroidal estrogen receptor antagonist that is FDA-approved for the treatment of ovarian dysfunction in women. Clomiphene citrate has also been used off-label for many years to treat secondary male hypogonadism, particularly in the setting of male infertility.

Enclomiphene citrate, which is the key active pharmaceutical ingredient found in our Mango MOJO compounded product, has been researched and studied in a Phase II clinical trial conducted by Ronald D. Wiehle and others, entitled “Enclomiphene citrate stimulates testosterone production while preventing oligospermia: a randomized phase II clinical trial comparing topical testosterone” (Fertil Steril. 2014 Sep;102(3):720-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2014.06.004. Epub 2014 Jul 17. PMID: 25044085), which found enclomiphene citrate as being effective in increasing serum testosterone levels in hypogonadal men, as well as maintaining sperm counts.

According to an April 2022 market study conducted by Allied Market Research, the global male hypogonadism market size was $3.1 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $5.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2030.

The Market for SLIM

The Semaglutide market size has grown rapidly in recent years and from $20.54 billion in 2023 to $23.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3% according to the “Semaglutides Market Report 2024” by Research and Markets. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to lifestyle changes leading to higher diabetes prevalence, increased investment in research and development, rising healthcare expenditure, the expansion of pharmaceutical companies into developing regions, and growing acceptance of injectable therapies.

Semaglutide is the key active pharmaceutical ingredient found in our Mango SLIM compounded product. According to Research and Markets, the market for semaglutides is expected to grow to $36.87 billion in 2028, due in part to the increasing global prevalence of diabetes, rising awareness about diabetes management and treatment, growing demand for effective therapies with fewer side effects, supportive government initiatives and policies for diabetes treatment, and an aging population contributing to higher diabetes incidence.

Competition and Competitive Advantages

We mainly compete with other companies offering men’s wellness products, including Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and Roman, and with our Mango ED products, we compete against much larger pharmaceutical companies who offer ED branded drugs like Viagra (Pfizer) and Cialis (marketed by Lilly ICOS LLC, a joint venture between Eli Lilly and Company and ICOS Corporation) and their generic forms. With our Mango GROW product, we compete against the much larger pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which offers the branded hair loss product Propecia, and Johnson & Johnson, the owner of Rogaine® – a branded form of Minoxidil. These companies have much greater resources than we do and well-known brand names.

Our future men’s wellness products will also likely need to compete against other traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies, and large retailers that sell non-prescription products.

Furthermore, we compete with other companies, which have greater resources and a greater advertising budget, and which are also selling a version or some variation of our Compounded Products and Pharmaceutical Products, overall. We compete against these competitors based on our branding, advertising, unique compounding, and product delivery system (i.e., our Compounded Products have been designed to be taken sublingually, rather than in pill form or injectable format). We believe that these alternative delivery methods are one of the Company’s major competitive advantages and what makes our Pharmaceutical Products more attractive than those sold by some of the larger pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.

Regulatory Environment

We currently produce and sell our Compounded Products, and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the FFDCA Act. Section 503A describes the conditions under which compounded human drug products are exempt from the FFDCA Act sections on FDA approval, prior to marketing, current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) requirements and labeling with adequate directions for use. One of these conditions is that the drugs must be compounded based on the receipt of valid patient-specific prescriptions; another condition limits “copying” of FDA-approved products, which restricts compounding drugs that have the same active ingredients and route of administration as ingredients that are used in other FDA approved drugs which are commercially available. The FDA also prohibits any marketing or promotional statements that are “false or misleading in any particular,” including making any unsupported superiority claims against other products or the failure to disclose a material fact.

Notwithstanding the above, under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA generally does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy” of a commercially available drug if the compounded drug has a different route of administration as compared with the approved alternative, and our Compounded Products are for a different route of administration (e.g., sublingual). In addition, the FDA does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy” of a commercially available drug if the approved product cannot be used for the prescribed route of administration, which is available in the compounded version (which we believe it cannot, as discussed below). Finally, we do not expect that we will be deemed to have engaged in such “copying”, because our Compounded Products are based on a prescriber’s determination for each patient that the change associated with the Compounded Products produces for the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially available drug product. Under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA does not consider a compounded drug “essentially a copy” if a prescriber determines that there is a change, made for an identified individual patient, which produces for that patient a significant difference from the commercially available product.

Under Section 503A of the FFDCA Act, it is the prescribing practitioner who determines if a compounded drug is necessary for the identified patient and whether the change associated with the compounded product produces for the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially available drug product. FDA’s guidance states that FDA generally does not intend to question prescriber determinations that are appropriately documented. Our Compounded Products have been formulated as a Rapid Dissolve Tablet using a sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach and liver. We believe this offers a significant difference based on the fact that the approved versions are not available in the same route of administration (i.e., sublingual). A sublingual formulation may be able to meet the clinical needs of a particular patient who desires a more rapid onset of action compared to an FDA-approved oral formulation. In addition, because the prevalence of ED generally increases with age, older patients who may have difficulty swallowing an FDA-approved oral formulation may benefit from a sublingual formulation that dissolves under the tongue.

Compounded drugs, like our Compounded Products, are not FDA-approved. This means that the FDA does not verify the safety or effectiveness of such drugs. Instead, consumers rely on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. Compounded drugs also lack an FDA finding of manufacturing quality before such drugs are marketed.

The FDA has the authority to impose significant restrictions on products through regulations on advertising, promotional and distribution activities. In particular, the FDA will object to any promotional activity (including through testimonials and surrogates) that is “false or misleading in any particular,” including the failure to disclose material facts. For example, the FDA will expect adequate substantiation for an efficacy claim, which would require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. We believe we can conduct truthful and non-misleading promotional activities, including activities involving the use of testimonials and surrogates, with limited claims that do not require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials and which do not include efficacy claims.

We are also aware of data in the scientific literature supporting how the proposed combination of the compounds which make up our Mango ED products (i.e., Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine) might be expected to perform in ED patients. Previous clinical studies (none of which we have paid for or undertaken ourselves) have suggested that either Sildenafil Tadalafil and L-arginine in combination for treatment of ED may be more effective than either compound alone (see L. Gallo et al.,The Daily Therapy With L-Arginine 2,500 mg and Tadalafil 5 mg in Combination and in Monotherapy for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction: A Prospective, Randomized Multicentre Study, 8 Sex Med 178, 184 (June 2020) – finding that in general, combination therapy with Tadalafil and L-Arginine was superior to monotherapies for the treatment of ED; and M. Abu El-Hamd & E. Mohammed Hegazy,Comparison of the clinical efficacy of daily use of L-arginine, tadalafil and combined L-arginine with tadalafil in the treatment of elderly patients with erectile dysfunction, 52 Andrologia e13640, 3 (Aug. 2020) (“Hamd and Hegazy”) – finding that the combined daily use of L-arginine with Tadalafil therapy for elderly male patients with ED could significantly increase Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) scores and levels of total testosterone in comparison to L-arginine, or Tadalafil alone)—This is because L-arginine may increase nitric oxide, that in turn may increase cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which has relaxation and vasodilation (dilatation of blood vessels) effects on smooth muscle to assist in the treatment of ED (see Hamd and Hegazy paper). Furthermore, Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter linked to increased levels of social interaction, well-being, and anti-stress effects and clinical studies suggest administration of Oxytocin may stimulate certain aspects of social interaction, and may cause anti-anxiety and anti-stress effects (see Hamd and Hegazy paper).

Furthermore, we are aware of data in the scientific literature supporting the efficacy of Minoxidil as an oral treatment (as discussed below), as opposed to topical treatments that have been more traditionally used and marketed for hair growth to date. Topical Minoxidil and oral Finasteride are current the standard first-line treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)(male pattern baldness). Minoxidil in an oral formulation has been previously used for the treatment of severe and uncontrolled hypertension at a dose of 10–40 mg. Unintentionally, the early trials of oral minoxidil as an antihypertensive drug documented side effects such as hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth anywhere on the body) and hirsutism (excess hair most often noticeable around the mouth and chin) with chronic use. A study conducted by Ratchathorn Panchaprateep & Suparuj Lueangarun, and published in the September 24, 2020 edition of Dermatology and Therapy, found that oral minoxidil at a dose of 5 mg taken once daily, significantly increased hair growth in men with AGA after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment (Panchaprateep, R., Lueangarun, S. Efficacy and Safety of Oral Minoxidil 5 mg Once Daily in the Treatment of Male Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia: An Open-Label and Global Photographic Assessment. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 10, 1345–1357 (2020)).

Separately, Finasteride taken orally in the amount of 1 mg per day has shown to promote scalp hair growth and prevent further hair loss in a significant proportion of men with male pattern hair loss (McClellan, K.J., Markham, A. Finasteride. Drugs 57, 111–126 (1999).

Neither we, nor our representatives have had any conversations with the FDA staff regarding whether our Compounded Products can be sold pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act and future conversations with the FDA may result in the FDA staff raising issues with such sales pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA, requiring certain pre-requisites or changes to our current business plan, which may be costly or time consuming, and/or may result in us being prohibited from selling our Compounded Products pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act.

Government Regulation

We, as are many other companies, are also subject to environmental laws, rules and regulations which could affect our operations, including those disclosed below. As a consumer-focused health and wellness company delivering comprehensive telehealth technologies and services and health and wellness prescription-based products, in addition to the typical legal and regulatory considerations faced by a technology-based company, we are required to comply with complex healthcare laws and regulations, and consumer protection laws and regulations, all at both the state and federal level. Our business and operations are subject to extensive regulation, including with respect to the practice of medicine, the use of telehealth, relationships with healthcare providers, privacy and security of personal health information, product safety and pharmacy operations.

Government regulation of healthcare generally

Generally speaking, the healthcare industry is one of the most highly regulated industries in the United States. Healthcare-related businesses are subject to a broad array of governmental regulation at the federal, state, and local levels. While portions of our business are subject to significant regulations, some of the more well-known healthcare regulations do not apply to the Company because of the way our current operations are structured. We currently accept payments only from our customers—not any third-party payors, such as government healthcare programs or health insurers. Because of this approach, we are not subject to many of the laws and regulations that impact other participants in healthcare industry. If we begin accepting reimbursement payments from insurance providers or other third-party payors such as a government program, we will become subject to some of these additional healthcare laws and regulations.

Irrespective of our business model, the healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect health and wellness companies like the Company. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation and subject to potential disruption due to legislative initiatives and government regulation, as well as judicial interpretations thereof. While these regulations may not directly impact us or our offerings in any given case, they will affect the healthcare industry as a whole and may impact customer use of the Company’s solutions. If the government asserts broader regulatory control over companies like us or if we accept payment from and/or participate in third-party payor programs in the future, the complexity of our operations and our compliance obligations will materially increase.

Government regulation of the practice of medicine and telehealth

The practice of medicine is subject to various federal, state, and local certification and licensing laws, regulations, approvals and standards, relating to, among other things, the qualifications of the provider, the practice of medicine (including specific requirements when providing health care utilizing telehealth technologies and the provision of remote care), the continuity and adequacy of medical care, the maintenance of medical records, the supervision of personnel, and the prerequisites for the prescription of medication and ordering of tests. Because the practice of telehealth is relatively new and rapidly developing, regulation of telehealth is evolving and the application, interpretation and enforcement of these laws, regulations and standards can be uncertain or uneven. Similarly, the ability of our related party pharmacy to fulfill prescriptions and distribute pharmaceutical products, including compounded pharmaceutical products, is dependent upon the laws that govern licensed pharmacies and the fulfillment and distribution of prescription medication and other pharmaceutical products, which include in some cases requirements relating to telehealth. As a result, we must continually monitor legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments regarding the practice of medicine, telehealth and pharmaceutical laws in order to support our related party pharmacy (Epiq Scripts) and our third-party Telemedicine Providers.

Physicians who provide professional clinical services via telehealth must, in most instances, hold a valid license to provide the applicable professional services in the state in which the patient is located. As such, the physicians provided to us through our relationship with our Telemedicine Providers are required to be licensed under applicable state law.

Additionally, there may be limitations placed on the modality through which telehealth services are delivered. For example, some states specifically require synchronous (or “live”) communications and restrict or exclude the use of asynchronous telehealth modalities, which is also known as “store-and-forward” telehealth. However, other states do not distinguish between synchronous and asynchronous telehealth services. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, some state and federal regulatory authorities lowered certain barriers to the practice of telehealth in order to make remote healthcare services more accessible. Due to our business model, these changes did not dramatically change our operations, but these changes did introduce many people to the practice of telehealth. It is unclear whether these changes will have a long-term impact on the adoption of telehealth services by the general public or legislative and regulatory authorities.

Some of the rules and regulations we are subject to include:

Federal Anti-Kickback Statute

The Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b) is broadly worded and prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (i) the referral of a person covered by Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs, (ii) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs or (iii) the purchasing, leasing or ordering or arranging or recommending purchasing, leasing or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs. In addition, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. Moreover, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act, we do not expect to apply to our operations as we do not plan to seek payment for our services from the federal government. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs as well as civil and criminal penalties and fines. Imposition of any of these remedies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not anticipate our current operations being subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute as we do not seek reimbursement under a federal health care program.

U.S. FDA Regulation

The FDA regulates product promotion and noncompliance and this could result in the FDA requesting that we modify our product promotion or subject us to regulatory and/or legal enforcement actions, including the issuance of a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine, and criminal penalties. Other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities also monitor product promotion and have the authority to levy significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement, if violations of applicable law or regulations occur. We also believe that the FDA will likely consider our compounded combination products to be different from previously FDA-approved products, and that the FDA will not likely allow us to rely on any FDA-approved labeling or prescribing information.

To qualify for the exemptions under section 503A of the FFDCA Act, among other requirements, a drug must be compounded by a licensed pharmacist or a licensed physician that does not compound regularly or in inordinate amounts any drug products that are essentially copies of a commercially available drug product. As discussed under “Item 1. Business—Material Agreements—Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts”, we have entered into an agreement with Epiq Scripts, a related party, 52% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide us compounding and other pharmacy services.

Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation, from the entry into agreements with physicians or groups of physicians to provide telehealth services to our potential customers, to the marketing and promotion of our products, the creation of our products, and the sale of our products through licensed pharmacists.

Risk of Litigation

Additionally, federal and state statutes provide for private causes of action to plaintiffs alleging misleading marketing claims, or otherwise making allegations which are found to be in violation of such laws. As such, misleading promotional statements and practices can lead to litigation under state consumer protection and unfair trade practices laws. To date, there has been a substantial amount of litigation under these laws challenging the marketing and sale of compound drugs and we may face legal actions, and be subject to significant penalties, judgments and damages, if we are found to have violated these laws.

Health Information Privacy and Security Laws

Numerous U.S. state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and other processing of health information. We believe that, because of our operating processes, we are not a covered entity or a business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the implementing regulations (“HIPAA”), which establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services. Because we need to use and disclose customers’ health and personal information in order to provide our services, we develop and maintain policies and procedures to protect that information in the future.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of health information and other types of personal information. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changing or differing interpretations. Additionally, these laws may be similar to or even more protective than, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. The privacy and data protection laws in many states in which we operate are more restrictive than HIPAA and/or may apply more broadly than HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. We expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future; as state laws are changing rapidly.

For example, as of the date of this Report, twenty states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia—have enacted consumer data privacy laws. The data privacy laws have a number of things in common with each other, including allowing residents of those states the right to access and delete their personal information and to opt-out of the sale of their personal information, among others. Other provisions require commercial websites or online services to post a privacy policy that describes the types of personal information collected, what information is shared with third parties, and how consumers can request changes to certain information. Our compliance with these and future rules may increase our operating and expenses and our failure to comply with these rules could subject us to fines, penalties and litigation.

In addition to the above, proposed or new legislation and regulations could also significantly affect our business. There currently are a number of proposals pending before federal, state, and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies.

Product Liability

As a distributor of men’s health and wellness products, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its future products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our future products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

For example, a 2014 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association determined that Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) may be associated with a higher risk of developing melanoma. The study evaluated data from more than 25,000 men who used Sildenafil and found that Sildenafil use was significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent melanoma, after considering other risk factors. It is possible that the ingredients we use in our Mango ED and Mango GROW products or any other products we sell in the future could be found in the future to result in increases in the likelihood of developing cancer or other diseases, which could subject us to litigation, penalties or recalls.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and are relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company:

we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

we are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on whether we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

we are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

we are not required to give our shareholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

We may take advantage of these provisions until December 31, 2028 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering) if we continue to be an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our shares held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have elected to provide two years of audited financial statements. Additionally, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.
