#### A:
*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name* 

If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, then you are a stockholder of record.

If you are a stockholder of record, your proxy is being solicited directly by us, and you may vote online during the Annual Meeting or vote prior to the Annual Meeting by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote prior to the Annual Meeting by proxy through the internet, over the telephone or by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time to ensure your vote is counted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To submit your proxy over the telephone, dial toll-free 1-800-690-6903 using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the Control Number found on your Notice, your proxy card, voting instruction form or in the email sending you the Proxy Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you sign your proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxies (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares "FOR ALL" for the election of each of the five named director nominees, "FOR" the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers and "FOR" the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 and, if any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxies will vote your shares using his or her discretion.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Nominee* 

If on the Record Date your shares were held indirectly (that is, you held your shares in "street name" in a brokerage account or with a bank or another nominee record holder), then you are a beneficial owner.

If you are a beneficial owner, a Notice or voting instruction form has been provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to submit voting instructions for your shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you receive a voting instruction form, you can submit your voting instructions by completing and returning such voting instruction form. Please be sure to mark your voting choices on your voting instruction form before you return it. You may also be able to submit your voting instructions by telephone or through the internet or at the Annual Meeting, depending on your voting instructions (with a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee). Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction form for information about submitting your voting instructions in these ways. See also "*If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and I do not provide my broker, bank or other nominee with voting instructions, what happens?*" below.

**Internet proxy voting will be provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies.**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and I do not provide my broker, bank or other nominee with voting instructions, what happens?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **A:**<br>| **If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and your voting instruction form or Notice does not indicate that you may vote your shares directly (or you have not obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee), you must provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares for "non-routine" matters. Your broker, bank or other nominee is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial holder on discretionary, or "routine," matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial holder of those shares. On the other hand, without instructions from the beneficial holder of those shares, a broker, bank or other nominee is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial holder on certain non-discretionary items, or "non-routine" matters, such as the election of directors and the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Consequently, if you do not submit any voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, such institution may exercise its discretion to vote your shares only on the proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP. For non-discretionary matters, if you do not submit any voting instructions, your shares will (i) constitute "broker non-votes," (ii) count for establishing the presence of a quorum, and (iii) have no effect on the election of directors or the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **A:**<br>| **Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting.**  |

---

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy by: (1) submitting a new proxy over the internet or by telephone or submitting another properly completed proxy card with a later date than your original card, but no later than (x) 11:59 p.m. on September 10, 2025 if you are submitting by mail and (y) 11:59 p.m. on September 11, 2025 if you are submitting by telephone or internet; or (2) voting at the Annual Meeting (note that simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy). We will count your vote in accordance with the last instructions we receive from you prior to the closing of the polls.

If you are a beneficial owner, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **How are votes counted?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **A:**<br>| **Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting who will separately count, for Proposal No. 1, "For" and "Withhold" votes and broker non-votes for each nominee; for**  |

---

------

Proposal No. 2, "For," "Against," "Abstain" votes and broker non-votes; and, for Proposal No. 3, "For," "Against," and "Abstain" votes. An agent of Broadridge will tabulate the votes and serve as inspector of election for the Annual Meeting.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **What is the quorum requirement, and what happens if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **A:**<br>| **A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting for the transaction of business. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a one-third of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 13,828,562 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Thus, the holders of 4,609,521 shares must be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum.**  |

---

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote at the Annual Meeting (see "*Who can attend the Annual Meeting, and how do I attend?*" above for details). Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned by either the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of a majority in the voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote and present or represented by proxy, until a quorum is obtained. If an adjournment is for more than 30 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, we will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Q:**<br>| **Why is the Annual Meeting online, and will I still have the same participation rights as I would have at an in-person stockholder meeting?**  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **A:**<br>| **By hosting the Annual Meeting online, we are able to communicate more effectively with our stockholders, enable increased attendance and participation from locations around the world, reduce costs and increase overall efficiency and safety for us and our stockholders.

#### PROPOSAL NO. 1

#### &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

#### ELECTION OF FIVE DIRECTORS

#### Size of the Board
Our Board currently consists of five directors, each serving a one-year term that will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

#### Director Nominees
Our Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee"), has nominated current directors Brian Davis, Vimal Kavuru, Prashant Kohli, George Kottayil and Edward Neugeboren for re-election to our Board, each to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting and until such director's successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Detailed biographical information for each of the nominees is provided in this Proxy Statement below under the heading "Director Nominees." Except for Prashant Kohli, our Chief Executive Officer, and George Kottayil, each of the nominees has been determined by our Board to be independent.

If a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve, the shares to be voted for such nominee that are represented by proxies will be voted for any substitute nominee designated by our Board. We did not receive any stockholder nominations for director.

#### Vote Required
If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the five nominees for director receiving a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders will be elected to serve as directors. As a result, withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. If not otherwise specified, proxies will be voted "FOR ALL" of the nominees for director named above.

#### THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE " FOR ALL " FOR THE ELECTION

#### OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### PROPOSAL NO. 2

#### &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

#### ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

#### Background of the Proposal
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are required to provide a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. This proposal, commonly known as "say-on-pay," gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. The vote is advisory, and, therefore, it is not binding on the Board, the Compensation Committee, or us. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. At our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders indicated their preference for a "say-on-pay" vote to be held annually. Our Board subsequently determined that we will hold a "say-on-pay" vote on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of such advisory votes, which is anticipated to be held at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain our named executive officers who are critical to our success. The Board believes that our executive compensation program is well tailored to retain and motivate key executives while recognizing the need to align our executive compensation program with the interests of our stockholders and our "pay-for-performance" philosophy. The Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation program for our named executive officers to ensure it achieves the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our stockholders' interests and current market practices.

We encourage our stockholders to read the "Summary Compensation Table" and other related compensation tables and narrative disclosures in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement, which describe the compensation of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

We are asking our stockholders to vote on the following resolution:

**RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Grace Therapeutics, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables.** 

#### Vote Required
You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST," or "ABSTAIN" on Proposal 2. The vote required to approve Proposal 2 is governed by Delaware law and our Bylaws and is the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast on this Proposal. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2. If not otherwise specified, proxies will be voted "FOR" Proposal 2.

#### THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE " FOR " PROPOSAL 2 TO APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE

#### OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

#### RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

#### INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 and has further directed that management submit the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. KPMG LLP has audited our financial statements since March 31, 2024. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither our Bylaws or other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee is submitting the appointment of KPMG LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment of KPMG LLP, but will not be required to take any action. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

#### Independence of the Board
As required under The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company's board must qualify as "independent," as affirmatively determined by the board. Our Board consults with the Company's legal counsel to ensure that our Board's determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent Nasdaq listing standards, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions and relationships between each director and nominee for director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its registered independent public accounting firm, our Board has affirmatively determined that: (i) Mr. Davis, Mr. Kavuru and Mr. Neugeboren are independent within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2); (ii) current Audit Committee members, Mr. Davis, Mr. Kavuru and Mr. Neugeboren meet the additional test for independence for audit committee members imposed by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A); and (iii) current Compensation Committee members, Mr. Davis, Mr. Kavuru and Mr. Neugeboren meet the additional test for independence for compensation committee members imposed by Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2)(A). In making these determinations, our Board considered the relationships that each director and nominee for director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each person and such person's affiliated entities, and any agreements or arrangements between us and any of our directors and director nominees or their affiliated entities.

#### Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers, directors or director nominees.

#### Board Leadership Structure
The roles of our Board Chair and our principal executive officer are held by two different individuals, as we seek to maintain an appropriate balance between management and our Board. Our Board currently has an independent Chair of the Board, Mr. Kavuru, who has the authority, among other things, to preside over meetings of the Board and meetings of stockholders, work with the Chief Executive Officer to develop and approve an appropriate Board meeting schedule and meeting agendas, develop the agenda and moderate executive sessions of the independent members of the Board, act as principal liaison between the independent members of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, to convene meetings of the independent members of our Board as appropriate and be available for consultation and direct communication with stockholders as deemed appropriate. Accordingly, our Board Chair has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board. The Company believes that separation of the positions of Board Chair and principal executive officer reinforces the independence of our Board in its oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. In addition, the Company believes that having an independent Board Chair creates an environment that is conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of management's performance, increasing management accountability and improving the ability of our Board to monitor whether management's actions are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As a result, the Company believes that having an independent Board Chair can enhance the effectiveness of our Board as a whole.

#### Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
The Board is committed to the achievement of business success and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value with the highest standards of integrity and ethics. The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with more in-depth oversight of certain areas of risk being conducted by the relevant Board committees that report on their deliberations to the full Board. The Board and its committees fulfill their oversight responsibilities supported by management, whose reporting processes are designed to provide information to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management's

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
risk mitigation strategies. Areas of risk evaluated include research and development, patents, commercial matters, human resources, cybersecurity, funding, regulatory matters, operational risks, financial (accounting, liquidity and tax) matters, legal compliance, compensation, competitive risks and health, safety and reputational risks, among others.

The standing committees of the Board oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus. The Audit Committee's role includes oversight of significant business risks, including financial, operational, business continuity, legal, regulatory and reputational risks. The Audit Committee also oversees privacy, information technology and security and cybersecurity risk exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks and exposures associated with our compensation programs and arrangements, including our executive and director compensation programs and arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks relating to our corporate governance matters and policies and director succession planning. The full Board oversees CEO and senior management succession planning and overseeing management development.

#### Information Regarding Committees of the Board
Our Board has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each committee has adopted a written committee charter, which are available on the Company's website at *https://www.gracetx.com/investors*.

The current composition of each of our Board's committees is set forth in the following table:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review the Company's annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including a review of the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and recommend to the Board whether such financial statements should be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on 10-Q, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and discuss with management the Company's guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, and the Company's risks relating to privacy, information technology and security and cybersecurity risk exposures, and the steps to monitor and mitigate such exposures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establish procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing, and federal securities laws matters, and for the confidential, anonymous submission by the Company's employees and independent contractors of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and

#### Compensation Committee
The primary purpose of our Compensation Committee to oversee the Company's compensation policies, plans and programs, to review and determine (or recommend to our Board for approval) the compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers and directors, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and recommend to our Board for approval annually the corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the Company's CEO, and evaluate performance in light of those goals and objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and approve annually the compensation of the Company's executive officers other than the CEO, and review and approve the Company's general policies with respect to the compensation applicable to other employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and recommend to our Board for approval any employment or postemployment agreement with the Company's CEO and review and approve any employment or post-employment agreement with any other executive officer, including any benefits to be provided in connection with a change in control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review and recommend to our Board for approval the adoption of or amendment to the incentive-compensation plans and equity-based compensation plans for the Company and its subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• administration of any employee bonus and other incentive plans, equity-based compensation plans and equity arrangements that may be adopted by the Company from time to time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• review annually and make recommendations to our Board regarding compensation to non-employee directors.

#### Compensation Process and Procedures
Generally, compensation of our executive officers and non-employee directors is recommended to our Board by the Compensation Committee (formerly the GHR Committee). Annually, the Compensation Committee conducts a formal review and assessment of executive and corporate performance. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Mr. Kavuru (Chair), Mr. Davis and Mr. Neugeboren, each of whom is independent within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq rules.

Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate and retain high-performing senior executives, encourage and reward superior performance, and align the executives' interests with ours as well as our stockholders by providing compensation that is competitive with the compensation received by executives employed by comparable companies, and ensuring that the achievement of annual objectives is rewarded through the payment of bonuses, and providing executives with long-term incentives through the grant of stock options.

The Compensation Committee has authority to retain the services of independent compensation consultants to advise its members on executive and non-employee director compensation and related matters, and to determine the fees and the terms of the engagement of those compensation consultants. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee retained compensation consulting services from Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC ("Pearl Meyer") to review our executive compensation programs. Pearl Meyer also reviewed non-employee director compensation. All of the services provided by Pearl Meyer were provided to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Pearl Meyer and concluded that its engagement of Pearl Meyer did not raise any conflict of interest with the Company or any of its directors or executive officers.

The Compensation Committee establishes management compensation policies and oversees their general implementation. All members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience that is relevant to their responsibilities as Compensation Committee members. All Compensation Committee members are or have held senior executive or director roles within significant businesses in our industry, some also having public companies experience, and have a level of financial understanding which allows them to assess the costs versus benefits of compensation plans. The Compensation Committee's members' combined experience in our sector provides them with a good understanding of our success factors and risks, which are highly relevant to determining metrics for measuring success

Messrs.

Each executive officer is assigned a target bonus expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary. The target bonus amounts for Fiscal Year 2025 were as follows: 50% for Mr. Kohli and 30% for each of Mr. Kumar and Ms. D'Andrea. Actual performance bonus payments under the program were 0-100% of the target bonus amount based on the level of achievement of corporate objectives for the year, as determined by our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. For Fiscal Year 2025, the corporate objectives principally consisted of corporate milestones related to completion of the Company's Phase 3 STRIVE ON safety trial for the lead product candidate, GTx-104. In the second calendar quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors assessed the level of achievement of the program objectives and awarded Messrs. Kohli and Kumar and Ms. D'Andrea a performance bonus equal to 100% of target based on having met expectations for achievement of corporate objectives.

#### Pension Benefit Plans
We do not have any pension benefit plans.

#### Other Forms of Compensation

Because of the small size of our current employee population and to assure passage of anti-discrimination testing, the 401K plan has a "safe harbor" provision which provides a contribution of 3% of salary to the 401K accounts of all eligible employees, including NEOs.

*Other Benefits and Perquisites* 

Our executive employee benefit program also includes life, medical, dental and disability insurance. These benefits and perquisites are designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions in comparable organizations.

Pursuant to the CEO Letter Agreement, Mr. Kohli is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $500,000 and an annual discretionary bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary as determined by our Board. In order to earn the bonus, Mr. Kohli must remain employed with the Company throughout the year for which the bonus is paid, and must be actively employed in good standing on the date in which the bonus is paid.

In addition, the CEO Letter Agreement provides that, subject to approval by our Board, Mr. Kohli may be granted from time to time an option to purchase shares of common stock with a price per share equal to the fair market value of the common stock, as determined by our Board at the time of the grant, which will be conditioned upon (a) Mr. Kohli's continued employment with the Company at the time of the grant, (b) entering into an option agreement with the Company and (c) any other terms and conditions set forth in the Company's equity incentive plan, the applicable option agreement and as may be determined by our Board in its sole discretion at the time of grant.

The term of the CEO Letter Agreement commenced on August 12, 2024 and continues until terminated in accordance therewith. Either the Company or Mr. Kohli may terminate the CEO Letter Agreement at any time, upon advanced written notice. The CEO Letter Agreement also imposes certain confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation obligations on Mr. Kohli during the term of the Letter CEO Agreement and for a specified time thereafter. The CEO Letter Agreement provides for standard Company benefits, such as paid vacation and participation in the Company's employee benefit plans and programs.

In the event that Mr. Kohli's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the CEO Letter Agreement), including after a change of control, and subject to his delivery to the Company of a general release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company, the Company will pay Mr. Kohli a continuation of his base salary then in effect for twelve (12) months after termination.

#### Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
Although we do not have a formal policy that requires us to award equity or equity-based compensation on specific dates, we generally issue equity awards to our employees, including our executive officers, annually in the first calendar quarter, and such awards are approved by our Board or Compensation Committee during the first quarter. In certain circumstances, including the hiring of an employee, the Board or Compensation Committee may approve grants to be effective at other times.

Our Board and Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such awards. Further, our Board and Compensation Committee has not timed, and does not plan to time, the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, no named executive officer was granted any stock options during the period beginning four business days before, and ending one business day after, the filing of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or an annual report on Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.

#### Narrative to Director Compensation Table
Our non-employee director compensation program was established based on the advice and input of our independent compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer, to, among other matters, enable us to attract and retain qualified directors. Periodically, our Compensation Committee engages Pearl Meyer to review our director compensation program and the practices of similarly situated public life science companies to seek to align our director compensation with the compensation levels of such companies.

Our non-employee directors' compensation consists of an annual fixed compensation of $75,000 for the Chair of the Board and $40,000 for the other non-employee directors.

Following their first election or appointment to the Board, non-employee directors are eligible to receive an initial equity grant of 20,000 stock options vesting over a three-year period, with one-third vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining two-thirds vesting over the subsequent two-year period in substantially equal monthly installments, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Acasti Pharma Inc. Stock Option Plan or the Grace Therapeutics, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan ("2024 Plan"), as applicable. In addition to their initial grant, non-employee directors are eligible to receive an annual equity grant of 10,000 stock options generally vesting monthly in equal installments over a 12-month period. These awards will be granted generally at the same time that Grace performs its annual performance review for employees, subject to availability of shares and subject to the terms and conditions of the Acasti Pharma Inc. Stock Option Plan or the 2024 Plan, as applicable.

Mr. Kohli does not receive any additional compensation for his service as a director. Information regarding the compensation for Mr. Kohli is reflected in the "—Summary Compensation Table" set forth above in this Proxy Statement.

#### TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

#### Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures
In addition to the Company's Code of Conduct and Ethics, which serves as the primary guide to avoiding circumstances that may create a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between the personal interests of related persons and the interests of the Company, the Board has adopted a written policy with respect to the review, approval or disapproval and/or ratification of related party transactions. Under the policy, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving or disapproving related party transactions. During its review and approval of related party transactions, the Audit Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. In particular, the policy requires the Audit Committee to consider, among other factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the terms of the related party transaction (taken together) are fair to the Company and on the same basis that would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether there are business reasons for the Company to enter into the related party transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the related party transaction would impair the independence of a non-employee director (including, if applicable, with respect to the director's capacity as a committee member); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the related party transaction would present an improper conflict of interest (or result in an inappropriate appearance of conflict of interest) for any director or executive officer, taking into account the size of the transaction or transactions, the overall financial position of the director, executive officer or other related person, the direct or indirect nature of the interest in the transaction or transactions of the director, executive officer or other related person, the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the Audit Committee deems relevant.

The Audit Committee may only approve those transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the Company's best interests and those of its stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in good faith. In addition, under the Company's Code of Conduct and Ethics, the Company's employees, directors and director nominees have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

#### Certain Related Person Transactions
Below is a description of transactions in which the Company was or will be a participant, in which the amount involved in the transaction (or series of related transactions) exceeded $120,000, and in which any of the Company's directors, executive officers or beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's common stock or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than employment, compensation, termination, indemnification and change in control arrangements with the Company's Named Executive Officers, which are described under the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

*2025 Private Placement* 

On February 11, 2025, the Company sold in a private placement (the "2025 Private Placement") an aggregate of 3,252,132 shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.395 per share (the "Shares"), and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,166,160 shares of common stock, at a purchase price equal to the purchase price per Share less $0.0001 (the "2025 Pre-Funded Warrants"). Each 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is exercisable immediately and will expire once exercised in full. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.5 million, after deducting fees and expenses.

For each Share and 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant issued, the Company sold and issued to each purchaser an accompanying common warrant to purchase shares of common stock (or 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof), exercisable for an aggregate of 4,418,292 shares of common stock (or 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) (the "2025 Common Warrants"). Each 2025 Common Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.395 per share, is immediately exercisable and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after the date the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approves the New Drug Application ("NDA") for the Company's product candidate GTx-104, and (ii) September 25, 2028.

of immediate family members of Vimal Kavuru, the Chair of the Company's Board of Directors and (ii) ADAR1 Partners, LP, AIGH Investment Partners, LP, and SS Pharma LLC, each a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the common stock prior to the 2025 Private Placement, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $5.7 million.

*2023 Private Placement* 

In September 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional and accredited investors in connection with a private placement of common stock (the "2023 Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 1,951,371 common shares, at a purchase price of $1.848 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,106,853 common shares at a purchase price equal to the purchase price per common share less $0.0001 (the "2023 Pre-Funded Warrants"). Each 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is immediately exercisable and will expire once exercised in full. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also sold and issued, to such institutional and accredited investors, common warrants to purchase common shares exercisable for an aggregate of 2,536,391 common shares (the "2023 Common Warrant"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, for each common share and each 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant sold and issued in the 2023 Private Placement, an accompanying five-eighths (0.625) of a 2023 Common Warrant was issued to the purchaser thereof. Each whole 2023 Common Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.003 per share, is immediately exercisable and will expire on the earlier of (i) the 60<sup>th</sup> day after the date of the acceptance by the FDA of an NDA for the Company's product candidate GTx-104 or (ii) September 25, 2028. The net proceeds to the Company from the 2023 Private Placement were approximately $7.3 million, after deducting fees and expenses.

The 2023 Private Placement included the issuance of common shares, 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants, and 2023 Common Warrants to related parties namely (i) Shore Pharma LLC, the beneficial owner of 6.9% of common shares outstanding prior to the 2023 Private Placement, and an entity that was controlled by Vimal Kavuru, the Chair of the Company's Board of Directors, at the time of the 2023 Private Placement and (ii) SS Pharma LLC, the beneficial owner of 5.5% of common shares outstanding prior to the 2023 Private Placement, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.5 million.

#### Indemnification
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of the Company's directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL"). In addition, if the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of the Company's directors and officers will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers, and may indemnify its employees, agents and any other persons, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions. The Company's Bylaws also provide that the Company must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a current or former director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to limited exceptions.

Further, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify its directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require the Company to advance all expenses reasonably and actually incurred by the directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. The Company believes that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers. Directors' and officers' liability insurance has been purchased for the benefit of the Company's directors and officers to back up the Company's indemnification of them against liability incurred in their capacity as directors and officers, subject to certain limitations under applicable law. The Company also maintains insurance policies under which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits, or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Company. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
