Item 8.01

Other Events.

On July 9, 2026, NexGel, Inc. (the “Company”) elected to postpone of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which was previously scheduled to be held on July 10, 2026, to July 31, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Company determined that the postponement would allow additional time to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders in order to obtain the requisite stockholder vote on certain proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

The record date for the Annual Meeting remains unchanged. Stockholders of record as of the previously established record date will continue to be entitled to vote at the postponed Annual Meeting. All proxies previously submitted by stockholders will remain valid for the postponed Annual Meeting unless properly revoked prior to the Annual Meeting.

The agenda and proposals for the postponed Annual Meeting remain the same as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”). Stockholders who have already submitted a proxy need not resubmit their proxy unless they wish to change their vote. Stockholders who wish to change their vote may do so by submitting a new proxy card, by voting via telephone or the Internet in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Proxy Statement, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Additional information regarding the Annual Meeting is set forth in the Proxy Statement, a copy of which is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s investor relations page at www.nexgel.com.
