EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, or the Form
10-K/A, is being filed by TherapeuticsMD, Inc., or the Company, in order to disclose information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and
14 of Part III of Form 10-K, which information was omitted from the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024
(the “Original Form 10-K”), in reliance on Instruction G to Form 10-K. The Original Form 10-K was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 27, 2025.
The Company does not expect to file its definitive
proxy statement for its upcoming annual stockholders’ meeting within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of its most recent
fiscal year (as required under Instruction G to Form 10-K). Therefore, the Company is filing this Form 10-K/A in order to include information
that would have been contained in the definitive proxy statement into the Original Form 10-K. The Company is also filing as exhibits to
this Form 10-K/A new certifications with respect to this filing by its principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant
to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these
new exhibits. Because no financial statements are being filed in this Form 10-K/A, and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any
disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. The Company
is also not filing new certifications required under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, since no financial statements are
being filed with this Form 10-K/A. Finally, the Company is filing this Form 10-K/A to delete the reference on the cover of the Original
Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference of portions of its definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Form 10-K.
This Form 10-K/A is limited in scope to the items
identified above and should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. This
Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K or modify or update those disclosures affected
by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing of
the Original Form 10-K.

Key Qualifications and Experience
We believe Secretary Thompson’s experience in public service

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
Since October 9, 2017, our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “TXMD.” From April 23, 2013 to October 6,
2017, our common stock was listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “TXMD.” Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors
must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors.
Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined, after considering
all the relevant facts and circumstances, that each of Dr. Gail Naughton, and Messrs. Tommy G. Thompson, Cooper C. Collins and Justin
Roberts is an independent director, as “independence” is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and
the listing standards of Nasdaq, and does not have a relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder, or officer of
an organization that has a relationship with us) that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their
responsibilities as directors. Accordingly, a majority of our directors are independent, as required under the applicable Nasdaq rules.
There are no family relationships among any of our directors or officers.
Committee Charters, Corporate Governance, and Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted charters for the Audit and Compensation
Committees describing the authority and responsibilities delegated to each committee by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors
has also adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Conduct and Ethics, and a Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and
senior financial officers of our company. We post on our website, at www.therapeuticsmd.com , the charters of our Audit and Compensation
Committees; our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Conduct and Ethics, and Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and senior
financial officers, and any amendments or waivers thereto; and any other corporate governance materials contemplated by the SEC or Nasdaq.
These documents are also available in print to any stockholder requesting a copy in writing from our corporate secretary at our executive
offices.
Executive Sessions
We regularly schedule executive sessions in which non-employee directors
will meet without the presence or participation of management, with at least one of such sessions including only independent directors.
Mr. Thompson, as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, chairs the executive sessions.
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee,
each consisting entirely of independent directors.
Given the relatively small size of our Board of Directors and the desire
to involve the entire Board of Directors in nominating decisions, we have elected to no longer have a separate Nominating Committee. Since
we do not have a Nominating Committee, our independent directors, who currently constitute all of the Board of Directors, determine the
director nominees. Our Board of Directors may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. If vacancies
are anticipated or arise, our Board of Directors considers various potential candidates who may come to their attention through current
Board members, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons. These candidates may be evaluated by our Board of Directors at
any time during the year.
5
In evaluating a director candidate, our Board of Directors will review
their qualifications including capability, availability to serve, conflicts of interest, general understanding of business, understanding
of our business and technology, educational and professional background, personal accomplishments and other relevant factors. Our Board
of Directors has not established any specific qualification standards for director nominees, and we do not have a formal diversity policy
relating to the identification and evaluation of nominees for director, although from time to time the Board of Directors may identify
certain skills or attributes as being particularly desirable to help meet specific needs that have arisen. Our Board of Directors may
also interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation, the Board of Directors will determine
the nominees. The Board has not adopted a formal process for considering director candidates who may be recommended by stockholders. However,
our policy is to give due consideration to any and all such candidates.
Audit Committee
Members
Cooper C. Collins, Chair
Justin Roberts
Tommy G. Thompson
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee our financial and
reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements and to provide assistance to our Board of Directors with respect to its
oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, our company’s compliance with legal and regulatory matters, the independent
registered public accountant’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of our independent registered public accountant.
The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its charter and include various matters with respect to the oversight
of our accounting and financial reporting process and audits of our financial statements on behalf of our Board of Directors. The Audit
Committee also selects the independent registered public accountant to conduct the annual audit of our financial statements; reviews the
proposed scope of such audit; reviews accounting and financial controls with the independent registered public accountant and our financial
accounting staff; and reviews and approves any transactions between us and our directors, officers, and their affiliates.
The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Collins, Thompson
and Roberts, each an independent director of our company under the listing standards of Nasdaq as well as under applicable rules and regulations
of the SEC, with Mr. Collins serving as Chair. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Thompson (whose background is detailed above)
qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compensation Committee
Members
Gail Naughton, Chair
Cooper C. Collins
Justin Roberts
The purpose of the Compensation Committee includes, among other things, determining, or recommending to our Board of Directors for determination, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and directors, and discharging the responsibilities of our Board of Directors relating to our compensation programs. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to a subcommittee comprised of one or more members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Dr. Naughton and Messrs. Collins and Roberts, each an independent director of our company under the listing standards of Nasdaq as well as under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, with Dr. Naughton serving as Chair.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Risk is inherent in every business. As is the case in virtually all
businesses, we face a number of risks, including operational, economic, financial, legal, regulatory, and competitive risks. Our management
is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face. Our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has
responsibility for the oversight of risk management.
Our Board of Directors’ involvement in our business strategy
and strategic plans plays a key role in its oversight of risk management, its assessment of management’s risk appetite, and its
determination of the appropriate level of enterprise risk. Our Board of Directors receives updates at least quarterly from senior management
and periodically from outside advisors regarding the various risks we face, including operational, cybersecurity and information technology,
economic, financial, legal, regulatory, and competitive risks. Our Board of Directors also reviews the various risks we identify in our
filings with the SEC as well as risks relating to various specific developments, such as debt and equity issuances.
The committees of our Board of Directors assist our Board of Directors
in fulfilling its oversight role in certain areas of risks. The Audit Committee oversees the financial and reporting processes of our
company and the audit of the financial statements of our company and provides assistance to our Board of Directors with respect to the
oversight and integrity of the financial statements of our company, our company’s compliance with legal and regulatory matters,
the independent auditor’s qualification and independence, and the performance of our independent auditor. The Audit Committee also
receives reports regarding our compliance program and our cybersecurity and information technology programs. The Compensation Committee
considers the risks that our compensation policies and practices may have in attracting, retaining, and motivating valued employees and
endeavors to assure that it is not reasonably likely that our compensation plans and policies would create undue risk or have a material
adverse effect on our company.
Director Attributes
We seek diversity in experience, viewpoint, education, skill, and other
individual qualities and attributes to be represented on our Board of Directors. We believe directors should have various qualifications,
including individual character and integrity; business experience and leadership ability; strategic planning skills, ability, and experience;
requisite knowledge of our industry and finance, accounting, and legal matters; communications and interpersonal skills; and the ability
and willingness to devote time to our company. We also believe the skill sets, backgrounds, and qualifications of our directors, taken
as a whole, should provide a significant mix of personal and professional experience, background, viewpoints, perspectives, knowledge,
and abilities. Nominees are not to be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation,
disability, or any other basis prohibited by law. The assessment of directors is made in the context of the perceived needs of our Board
of Directors from time to time.
All of our directors have held high-level positions in business or
professional service firms and have experience in dealing with complex issues. We believe that all of our directors are individuals of
high character and integrity, are able to work well with others, and have committed to devote sufficient time to the business and affairs
of our company. In addition to these attributes, the description of each director’s background sets forth above indicates the specific
experience, qualifications, and skills necessary to conclude that each individual should continue to serve as a director of our company.
Board Leadership Structure
We believe that effective board leadership structure depends on the
experience, skills, and personal interaction among persons in leadership roles as well as the needs of our company at any point in time.
We currently maintain separate roles between the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors in recognition of
the differences between the two responsibilities. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting our strategic direction and day-to-day
leadership and performance of our company. The Chairman of the Board of Directors provides input to the Chief Executive Officer, sets
the agenda for board meetings, and presides over meetings of the full Board of Directors as well as executive sessions of our Board of
Directors. Our Board of Directors believes that our current leadership structure provides the most effective leadership model for our
company, as it promotes balance between the Board of Directors’ independent authority to oversee our business and the Chief Executive
Officer and his management team, which manage the business on a day-to-day basis.
7
Compensation Recovery Policy
In 2023, we adopted a policy on recoupment of incentive compensation,
or clawback policy, which provides for recoupment of compensation in certain circumstances in the event of a restatement of our financial
results, in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards implementing the requirement of Section 954 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy that governs transactions
in our securities by our directors, officers, employees and their respective family members and affiliates that that we believe is reasonably
designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards. In addition,
it is our policy to comply with Federal securities laws and applicable stock exchange listing standards regarding trading in our own securities.
Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy
In April 2020, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s Code
of Conduct and Ethics to include a policy regarding hedging and pledging transactions. Pursuant to the policy, directors, officers, and
employees are prohibited from: (1) directly or indirectly engaging in any hedging transactions with respect to any directly or indirectly
owned securities of the company, which includes the purchase of any financial instrument (including puts, calls, equity swaps, forward
contracts, collars, exchange funds or other derivative securities) on an exchange or in any other market in order to hedge or offset any
decrease in the market value of such securities; (2) engaging in short sale transactions or forward sale transactions or any short-term
or speculative transactions in the company’s securities or in other transactions in the company’s securities that may lead
to inadvertent violations of insider trading laws; and (3) pledging securities of the company as collateral for a loan or otherwise using
securities of the company to secure a debt, including through the use of traditional margin accounts with a broker.
Board and Committee Meetings
Our Board of Directors held a total of seven meetings during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our
Board of Directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which such director was
a member.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Audit Committee
held five meetings and the Compensation Committee held zero meetings.
Annual Meeting Attendance
We encourage our directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders.
Two of our directors virtually attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.
Communications with Directors
Stockholders may communicate with our Board of Directors or specific
members of our Board of Directors, including our independent directors and the members of our various board committees, by submitting
a letter addressed to our Board of Directors of TherapeuticsMD, Inc. at the address set forth in this annual report c/o any specified
individual director or directors. Any such letters are forwarded to the indicated directors. In addition, at the request of the Board
of Directors, communications that do not directly relate to our Board of Directors’ duties and responsibilities as directors will
be excluded from distribution. Such excluded items include, among others, “spam,” advertisements, mass mailings, form letters,
and email campaigns that involve unduly large numbers of similar communications; solicitations for goods, services, employment or contributions;
and surveys. Additionally, communications that appear to be unduly hostile, intimidating, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate
will also be screened for omission. Any excluded communication will be made available to any director upon his or her request.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
As a smaller reporting company, the rules of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission permit us to omit the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and to report the compensation of our principal
executive officer, each of our two other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving at the end of our last completed
fiscal year, and up to two additional former executive officers for whom disclosure would have been provided but for the fact that the
individual was not serving as an executive officer at the end of our last completed fiscal year (collectively, our NEOs).
For 2024, our NEOs were:
● Marlan Walker, CEO
● Joseph Ziegler, Principal Financial
and Accounting Officer
As of December 31, 2024, we employed one full-time employee primarily
engaged in an executive position- Mr. Marlan Walker, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ziegler serves as our Principal Financial and Accounting
Officer pursuant to a master services agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with JZ Advisory Group (“JZ Advisory”).
See “Ziegler Master Services Agreement” below.

Post-Employment Compensation
Pension Benefits
We do not offer any defined benefit pension plans for any of our employees.
We have a 401(k) plan in which employees may participate.
Other Compensation
Mr. Walker is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans,
including medical and dental plans. Should we decide to hire other employees, these plans do not discriminate in favor of executive officers
and would be available to any potential employee. It is generally our policy to not extend significant perquisites to executives that
are not broadly available to our other employees. In designing these elements, we seek to provide an overall level of benefits that is
competitive with that offered by similarly situated companies in the markets in which we operate based upon our general understanding
of industry practice. These benefits are not considered in determining the compensation of our executive officers.
10
Employment Agreement
Marlan D. Walker has an amended and restated employment agreement (as
amended, the “Walker Employment Agreement”), with the Company that commenced on December 18, 2018, and was amended effective
October 15, 2021, December 30, 2022, February 21, 2023 and December 17, 2024. The Walker Employment Agreement provides that we will continue
to employ Mr. Walker, and Mr. Walker will continue to serve the Company, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Walker
Employment Agreement.
The Walker Employment Agreement provides for: (i) a base salary of
$428,000 per year until April 15, 2023; thereafter, a base salary of $500,000 per year and a lump-sum bonus payment of $20,909, which
was paid in April 2023, (ii) an annual short-term incentive compensation of 50% of salary, at the discretion of our Board of Directors,
and (iii) 70,000 RSUs which vested on June 30, 2023. Mr. Walker will receive employee benefits, vacation, and other perquisites as may
be determined from time to time.
Conditions of termination call for (i) termination immediately upon
death, (ii) termination upon a disability in which Mr. Walker is unable to perform his duties for more than six (6) consecutive months,
(iii) voluntary termination without good reason by Mr. Walker with prior notice, (iv) involuntary termination by our Company without good
cause, (v) termination for good cause, and (vi) termination for good reason wherein Mr. Walker will have ninety (90) days from the date
of occurrence of a condition giving rise to good reason to provide a notice of termination of his employment with the Company, which will
be effective thirty-one (31) days after we receive notice and the criteria remains uncorrected.
Ziegler Master Services Agreement
We entered into the Master Services Agreement with JZ Advisory that
commenced on August 15, 2023, pursuant to which, among other things, JZ Advisory will serve as an independent consultant for the purpose
of providing the Company with certain support services, including the services of Mr. Ziegler as the Company’s Principal Financial
Officer.
The Company agreed to pay JZ Advisory $10,000 a month for the services
provided under the Master Services Agreement during the third quarter of 2023, which monthly rate will continue until the parties negotiate
a future retainer amount. Mr. Ziegler was also granted 7,500 restricted stock units, which vested on August 17, 2024.
The Master Services Agreement will continue through the third anniversary
of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated (the “Term”). The Term will automatically be extended for successive one-year
periods unless either party provides written notice of non-extension no less than thirty (30) days in advance. The Master Services Agreement
may be terminated pursuant to its terms.
The Master Services Agreement contains certain covenants and agreements
of the parties, including certain indemnification obligations of each party.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
We have employment agreements with certain of our executive officers
as described above. The arrangements reflected in these employment agreements are designed to encourage the officers’ full attention
and dedication to our Company currently and, in the event of any proposed change in control, provide these officers with individual financial
security. The employment agreements provide for specified payments and benefits by us to our executive officers only upon a qualifying
termination of employment as described below.
Termination by Us Without Good Cause or by Executive with Good Reason
- No Change in Control
Under the Walker Employment Agreement, for Mr. Walker, in the event
of termination of the executive’s employment without “cause” (referred to as “good cause” in the Walker
Employment Agreement) or resignation by the executive for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the Walker Employment
Agreement), he would be entitled to, subject to his signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company
and its affiliates, (i) the sum of his salary, payable on a biweekly basis ratably over eighteen (18) months, and one and one half times
(1.5x) his target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, (ii) a continuation
of welfare benefits for a period of two years after such termination, (iii) COBRA benefits for a period of twenty-four (24) months following
such termination, (iv) payment for any annual short-term incentive compensation earned for the calendar year immediately preceding the
calendar year of such termination, (v) unpaid accrued base salary and unused vacation pay through the termination date, and (vi) amounts
accrued but unpaid at the time of termination. Furthermore, the above obligations of the Company are subject to the executive complying
with a non-solicitation agreement of employees and customers, and a non-competition agreement.
11
Termination or Resignation in Connection with a Change in Control
In the event of termination of Mr. Walker’s employment without
“good cause” or resignation by the executive for “good reason” in the twelve (12) months following a change in
control, Mr. Walker would be entitled to, subject to his signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the
Company and its affiliates, (i) the sum of his salary, payable on a biweekly basis ratably over eighteen (18) months, and one and one
half times (1.5x) his target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, (ii) payment
for any annual short-term incentive compensation earned for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of such termination,
(iii) unpaid accrued base salary and unused vacation pay through the termination date, and (iv) amounts accrued but unpaid at the time
of termination. Furthermore, the above obligations of the Company are subject to the executive complying with a non-solicitation agreement
of employees and customers, and a non-competition agreement.
Termination by Reason of Death or Disability
For Mr. Walker, in the event of termination of the executive’s
employment by reason of his death or “disability” (as such term is defined in the Walker Employment Agreement), in addition
to those payments and benefits provided to salaried employees generally, including amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination,
he would be entitled to (i) pro-rated target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment
occurs, payable in a lump sum, subject to the executive’s signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against
the company and its affiliates in the event of a disability, (ii) immediate vesting of all outstanding equity awards that vest solely
on the passage of time, (iii) accrued but unused vacation pay through the termination date, payable in a lump sum, and (iv) all other
rights and benefits the executive is vested in, pursuant to other plans and programs of our company.
Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason
The table below reflects the amount of compensation to Marlan Walker,
the only NEO currently employed by the Company, assuming termination of such executive’s employment without cause or for good reason
or following a change in control of our company on December 31, 2024. Other than as set forth below, no amounts will be paid to our NEOs
in the event of termination.

Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
We do not offer any nonqualified defined contribution plans or nonqualified
deferred compensation plans for any of our NEOs.
Limitation of Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors,
Officers, Employees, and Agents
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, each
as amended, provide that we may indemnify to the full extent of our power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents.
The effect of this provision in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the rights of our company
and our stockholders, either directly or through stockholders’ derivative suits brought on behalf of our company, to recover monetary
damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in those instances described under Nevada law.
Insofar as indemnification by our company for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to officers and directors of our company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are aware that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We compensate our non-employee directors with a combination of cash
and equity. Our Board of Directors receives the following cash compensation for their service: each director receives an annual cash retainer
of $57,500; the chairperson of the Board receives an additional $22,500 annual cash retainer; the chairperson of our Audit Committee receives
an annual cash retainer of $30,000 and the other members of the Audit Committee receive an annual cash retainer of $15,000; the chairperson
of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $20,000 and the other members of the Compensation Committee receive
an annual cash retainer of $12,000; and the chairperson of each of our other committees receives an annual cash retainer of $12,500 and
the other members receive an annual cash retainer of $7,500. We also reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses related to attendance
at Board of Directors and committee meetings. No directors were granted equity awards during 2024. We do not pay our directors per meeting
fees.
The following table and accompanying footnotes detail compensation
paid to our directors for services rendered for the year ended December 31, 2024. Mr. Roberts is entitled to receive compensation in the
same manner as our other non-employee directors, but he has elected not to receive any compensation for his service as a non-employee
director at this time.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, AND OFFICERS
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of April 18, 2025, by the following:
● each of our directors and named
executive officers;
● all of our directors and executive
officers as a group; and
● each person, or group of affiliated
persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC
and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment
power of that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 18,
2025. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options, warrants, and convertible securities are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage
of the person holding such options, warrants, or convertible securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of
any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named
in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown that they beneficially own,
subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other
purpose.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence
Policy Relating to Related Party Transactions
We have a policy that we will not enter into any material transaction
in which a director or officer has a direct or indirect financial interest unless the transaction is determined by our Board of Directors
to be fair to us or is approved by a majority of our disinterested directors or by our stockholders, as provided for under Nevada law.
Generally, our Board of Directors as a whole, other than an affected director, if applicable, determines whether a director or officer
has a direct or indirect ( i.e. , any) financial interest in a transaction deemed material based upon our Code of Conduct and Ethics
and Nevada law. From time to time, our Audit Committee, in accordance with its charter, will also review potential conflict of interest
transactions involving members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers. The policy with respect to such transactions is provided
in our company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics.
Related Party Transactions
Other than compensation arrangements, we describe below transactions
and series of similar transactions, since January 1, 2023, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:
●
the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and
●
any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Compensation arrangements for our directors and NEOs are described
elsewhere in this annual report.
Agreements with Rubric Capital Management LP
On August 23, 2022, we appointed Mr. Justin Roberts as a director to
fill a newly created vacancy on the Board of Directors. As a director of the Company, Mr. Roberts is entitled to receive compensation
in the same manner as our other non-employee directors, but he has elected not to receive any compensation for his service as a non-employee
director at this time. Mr. Roberts currently serves as a Partner of Rubric. On July 29, 2022, September 30, 2022, October 28, 2022 and
May 1, 2023, we entered into subscription agreements with Rubric. On December 30, 2022, and in accordance with the terms of the Certificate
of Designation, the Company redeemed all 29,000 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock from Rubric at a purchase
price of $1,333 per share. The Company also paid certain affiliates of Rubric approximately $3.0 million as a make-whole payment pursuant
to the subscription agreements previously entered into between the Company and Rubric. On June 29, 2023, we issued and sold 312,525 shares
of Common Stock to Rubric at a price per share equal to $3.6797 pursuant to the subscription agreement and received gross proceeds of
$1.15 million before expenses. On November 15, 2023, Rubric drew down an additional 877,192 shares of Common Stock at a price per share
equal to $2.2761. We received gross proceeds of $2.0 million from the drawdown before expenses.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The charter of our Audit Committee provides that the duties and responsibilities
of our Audit Committee include the pre-approval, or adopting procedures for pre-approval, of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other
services permitted by law or applicable SEC regulations (including fee and cost ranges) to be performed by our independent auditor. Any
pre-approved services that will involve fees or costs exceeding pre-approved levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee. Unless otherwise specified by the Audit Committee in pre-approving a service, the pre-approval will be effective for the 12-month
period following pre-approval. The Audit Committee will not approve any non-audit services prohibited by applicable SEC regulations or
any services in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance
and the tax treatment of which may not be supported by the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.
To the extent deemed appropriate, the Audit Committee may delegate
pre-approval authority to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee or any one or more other members of the Audit Committee provided that
any member of the Audit Committee who has exercised any such delegation must report any such pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee
at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee will not delegate to management the pre-approval of services to be performed by the
independent auditor.
Our Audit Committee requires that our independent auditor, in conjunction
with our Chief Financial Officer, be responsible for seeking pre-approval for providing services to us and that any request for pre-approval
must inform the Audit Committee about each service to be provided and must provide detail as to the particular service to be provided.
All of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting
firm described above were approved by our Audit Committee pursuant to our Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies.
