This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K amends the Form 8-K filed on September 12, 2025 (the "Original Form 8-K") to add Item 5.03, Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year, as it relates to the approved Charter Proposal described in Item 5.07.

**Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.** 

Effective September 12, 2025, Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company" or "us" or "we") filed an amendment to its Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares (the "Amendment"). The Amendment was approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting"). The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.**

On September 11, 2025, the Company held the Special Meeting. A total of 50,349,149 shares of common stock were entitled to vote as of August 7, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting. Present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy were holders of 17,127,838 shares of common stock of the Company, representing at least one-third (1/3) of the voting power of the common stock of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote, constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.

The shareholders were asked to vote on four proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the Proxy Statement. Set forth below are the matters acted upon by the shareholders and the final voting results of each such proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Approval
 of an amendment to the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
 shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 (the "Charter Proposal"):

<u>Shares</u> <br> <u>For</u> <u>Against</u> <u>Abstain</u> <br> 13,706,276 3,029,091 392,471

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Approval
 of an amendment to the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Certificate of Incorporation,
 to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a ratio of not less
 than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-50, such ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors,
 without a corresponding reduction in the Company's authorized shares, and to be effective upon a date determined by the Board
 of Directors no later than December 31, 2026 (the "Reverse Stock Split Proposal"):

<u>Shares</u> <br> <u>For</u> <u>Against</u> <u>Abstain</u> <br> 13,887,533 3,126,720 113,585

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Approval
 of an amendment and restatement of the Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive
 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan (the "OIP
 Proposal"):

<u>Shares</u> <br> <u>For</u> <u>Against</u> <u>Abstain</u> <br> 13,649,262 3,425,245 53,331

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Approval
 of an adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if
 there are insufficient votes in favor of the Charter Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and/or the OIP Proposal or to establish
 a quorum (the "Adjournment Proposal"):

<u>Shares</u> <br> <u>For</u> <u>Against</u> <u>Abstain</u> <br> 14,039,730 2,563,581 524,527

Although the Adjournment Proposal was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because the shareholders approved the Charter Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and the OIP Proposal.

Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "<u>Corporation</u>"), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "<u>DGCL</u>"), hereby certifies as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. This Certificate of Amendment (the "<u>Certificate of Amendment</u>") amends the provisions of the Corporation's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "<u>Certificate of Incorporation</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 242 of the DGCL setting forth a proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

The FOURTH paragraph of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock") and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Preferred Stock").

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. COMMON STOCK

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 1. | <u>General</u>. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series. |
| 2. | <u>Voting</u>. The holders of the Common Stock shall have voting rights at all meetings of stockholders, each such holder being entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (which, as used herein, shall mean the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time, including the terms of any certificate of designations of any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation. There shall be no cumulative voting. |
|  | The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. |
| 3. | <u>Dividends</u>. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors and subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock. |

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law.

Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by adopting, a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof and by filing a certificate of designations relating thereto in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, as to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The requisite stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved this Certificate of Amendment in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.
