Business Model and Primary Products in Development

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

In December 2024, the Company determined to discontinue sales of Stendra® to wholesalers. As a result of the Vivus Termination Agreement (as defined herein) entered into by the Company in March 2025, the Company is no longer engaged in the commercialization, development or sales of Stendra®. Additionally, Timm Medical and PTV are expected to be assigned to a third-party in connection with the ABC (as defined herein) of Metuchen
