EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 23, 2022, TherapeuticsMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Form 10-K/A”) in order to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K consistent with General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. The Company is filing the 10-K/A to provide the information required in Part III of Form 10-K for purposes of incorporating that information by reference into other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This Form 10-K/A amends and restates in its entirety Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Form 10-K, to include information previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K consistent with General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. Throughout this Form 10-K/A, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TherapeuticsMD,” or “our Company” refer to TherapeuticsMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and unless specified otherwise, include our wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or VitaMed; BocaGreenMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or BocaGreen; and through its divestiture on April 14, 2022, VitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, or VitaCare.

Because no financial statements have been included 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 Section 302 certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of Sarbanes-Oxley as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A.

Except as described above, this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K. Furthermore, this Form 10-K/A does not change any previously reported financial results, nor does it reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Form 10-K. Information not affected by this Form 10-K/A remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time the Original Form 10-K was filed. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.

Tommy G. Thompson has served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of our Company since May 2012. Secretary Thompson currently serves as the Chief Executive officer of Thompson Holdings. Secretary Thompson also served as interim President of the University of Wisconsin System from June 2020 to March 2022. As the Governor of Wisconsin from January 1987 to February 2001, Secretary Thompson was perhaps best known for his efforts to revitalize the Wisconsin economy, for his national leadership on welfare reform, and for his work toward expanding health care access across all segments of society. As the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, or HHS, from February 2001 to January 2005, Secretary Thompson served as the nation’s leading advocate for the health and welfare of all Americans. Secretary Thompson was a partner in the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, or Akin Gump, from March 2005 to January 2012. Secretary Thompson served as an Independent Chairman of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, a health care consulting company, from March 2005 to May 2009. At the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions and at Akin Gump, Secretary Thompson built on his efforts at HHS to work toward developing solutions to the health care challenges facing American families, businesses, communities, states, and the nation as a whole. Secretary Thompson has also served as the President of Logistics Health, Inc., a provider of medical readiness and homeland security solutions, from February 2005 to January 2011. Secretary Thompson also serves as a member of the board of directors for the following public companies: United Therapeutics Corporation [NASDAQ: UTHR] and Physicians Realty Trust [NYSE: DOC].

[OTCBB: CNSO.OB] from August 2009 to March 2010. We believe Secretary Thompson’s experience in public service and on the boards of directors of numerous public companies, particularly his services and knowledge related to the healthcare industry as a whole, makes him well suited to serve on our Board of Directors. Secretary Thompson received both his B.S. and J.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

of Directors. Mr. O’Dowd received an MBA from the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at DePaul University in Chicago and a B.A. from Loyola University Chicago.

Corporate governance

Director independence. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined, after considering all the relevant facts and circumstances, that each of Dr. Naughton, Ms. Ling and Messrs. Thompson, Bisaro, Collins, Musing and Russell, is an independent director, and that Mr. J. Martin Carroll was an independent director prior to his resignation in December 2021, 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. Mr. O’Dowd, our Chief Executive Officer, is not considered an independent director because of his executive position with our Company. Mr. Finizio was not considered an independent director prior to his resignation in February 2022 because of his prior executive position. 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, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance 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, including our Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer. We post on our website, at www.therapeuticsmd.com, the charters of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 set forth in this Form 10-K/A.

Executive sessions. We regularly schedule executive sessions in both board and committee meetings in which non-employee directors will meet without the presence or participation of management, with at least one of such board sessions including only independent directors. Mr. Thompson, as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, chairs the board executive sessions, and the respective committee chairs lead executive session as necessary in the various board committees.

Board committees. Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a New Business, Science and Technology Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each consisting entirely of independent directors.

Audit Committee. 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.

Bisaro, Collins, and Russell with Mr. Russell serving as chair, each an independent director of our Company under the listing standards of Nasdaq as well as under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Bisaro and Russell (each of whose background is detailed above) each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Compensation Committee. 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, other executive officers and directors, 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 Ms. Ling and Messrs. Collins and Musing, each an independent director of our Company under the listing standards of Nasdaq as well as under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Ms. Ling has served as chair of the Compensation Committee since February 2022. Mr. Musing previously served as chair of the Compensation Committee in 2021 until February 2022. Mr. Carroll served as a member of the Compensation Committee in 2021 until his resignation from our Board of Directors in December 2021.

New Business, Science and Technology Committee. The purpose of the New Business, Science, and Technology Committee is to periodically examine the strategic direction and investment in research, development, acquisition, and technology initiatives for new and improved products. The committee is also tasked with periodic review of our long-term strategic goals and objectives. The New Business, Science and Technology Committee currently consists of Ms. Naughton and Messrs. Bisaro, Collins and Thompson, each an independent director of our Company under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Mr. Thompson serves as chair of New Business, Science and Technology Committee.

Nominating and corporate governance committee. The purpose of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee includes the selection or recommendation to our Board of Directors of nominees to stand for election as directors at each election of directors, the oversight of the selection and composition of committees of our Board of Directors, the oversight of the evaluations of our Board of Directors and management, and the development and recommendation to our Board of Directors of a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to us.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider persons recommended by stockholders for inclusion as nominees for election to our Board of Directors if the information required by the rules adopted by the SEC is submitted in writing in a timely manner addressed and delivered to our corporate secretary at the address of our executive offices set forth in this Form 10-K/A. Our bylaws, as amended, require that, subject to certain exceptions, a stockholder provide information regarding a director nomination to us no earlier than the 120th day and no later than the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders and update and supplement such information.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and evaluates nominees for our Board of Directors, including nominees recommended by stockholders, based on numerous factors it considers appropriate, some of which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity, and the extent to which the nominee would fill a present need on our Board of Directors.

The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Dr. Naughton and Messrs. Bisaro and Thompson, each an independent director of our Company under the listing standards of Nasdaq. Mr. Bisaro has served as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee since February 2022. Mr. Carroll served as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in 2021 until his resignation from our Board of Directors in December 2021.

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 and product introductions.

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 from our Chief Compliance Officer regarding our compliance program and our Chief Information Officer regarding 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. The New Business, Science and Technology Committee oversees risks associated with our strategic direction and investment in research, development, acquisition, and technology initiatives for new and improved products. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees governance-related risks, such as director independence, conflicts of interests, and management succession planning. In addition, our Chief Compliance Officer reports in specific instances to the chair of the Audit Committee. This division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company, and the Company’s Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Board diversity. 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 diversity in 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 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.

Compensation Recovery Policy. In December 2021, we implemented a claw back policy that provides for retroactive adjustments to any cash or stock-based incentive compensation paid to our executive officers where the payments were predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a financial restatement due to misconduct. We intend to amend the policy covering our annual and long-term incentive award plans and arrangements as necessary after the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirement of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).

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 nine meetings in 2021. 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. In 2021, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation

Committee held eight meetings, the New Business, Science and Technology Committee held two meetings, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five meetings.

Annual meeting attendance. We encourage our directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Eight of nine of our directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders last year.

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 Form 10-K/A care of 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.
