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

On January 12, 2023, VYNE Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") convened a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to adopt and approve a proposed amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and authorize the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), in its sole discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") at any time on or before the one year anniversary of the Special Meeting, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1-for-10 to 1-for-25, as determined by the Board at a later date (the "Reverse Stock Split Proposal").

At the Special Meeting, the stockholders voted on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, which is described as Proposal 1 in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2022 (the "Proxy Statement"), and a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, as described in Proposal 2 in the Proxy Statement (the "Adjournment Proposal," and together with the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the "Proposals"). Each of the 58,035,827 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the Special Meeting and present either by attendance or by proxy was entitled to one vote per share on the Proposals, and each of the 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company ("Series A Preferred"), constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, outstanding on the record date for the Special Meeting, all of which were present by proxy at the Special Meeting, were entitled to 1,000,000 votes per share with respect to the Proposals. As described in the Proxy Statement, shares of Series A Preferred may only vote on the Proposals, vote with the Common Stock as a single class, and are, to the extent cast, voted in the same proportion as the aggregate shares of Common Stock (excluding abstentions and any shares of Common Stock that are not voted) are voted on the Proposals.

The following is a summary of the voting results:

*Proposal 1: Reverse Stock Split Proposal*. With respect to the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, votes "For" were 24,230,441; votes "Against" were 3,711,239; votes abstaining or withheld were 204,263, and there were no broker non-votes. Including the votes of the Series A Preferred, voting results were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Votes For** | **Votes Against** | **Abstentions / Withheld** |
| 2625767750 | 402173930 | 204263 |

---

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal was approved.

*Proposal 2: Adjournment Proposal*. With respect to the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, votes "For" were 24,029,283; votes "Against" were 3,693,414; votes abstaining or withheld were 423,246, and there were no broker non-votes. Including the votes of the Series A Preferred, voting results were as follows:

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Votes For** | **Votes Against** | **Abstentions / Withheld** |

The Adjournment Proposal was approved.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On January 12, 2023, the Company delivered a notice of redemption to the holder of the Series A Preferred. The Series A Preferred will be redeemed on January 17, 2023 (the "Redemption Date") for an aggregate of $360,000 to be paid to the sole holder of the Series A Preferred. On the Redemption Date, the Company will file a Certificate of Elimination (the "Certificate") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Series A Preferred. The Certificate will (i) eliminate the previous designation of 3,000 shares of Series A Preferred from the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) cause such shares of Series A Preferred to resume their status as authorized but unissued and non-designated shares of preferred stock.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**
