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.

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.

6

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.

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.

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

7

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

8

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.

Post-employment compensation

Pension Benefits. We do not offer any defined benefit pension plans for any of our employees. We have a 401(k) plan in which employees may participate.

Other Compensation. All of our executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance, and tax-qualified Section 401(k) retirement savings plans. These plans are available to all employees and do not discriminate in favor of executive officers. It is generally our policy to not extend significant perquisites to executives that are not broadly available to our other employees. In designing these elements, we seek to provide an overall level of benefits that is competitive with that offered by similarly situated companies in the markets in which we operate based upon our general understanding of industry practice. These benefits are not considered in determining the compensation of our executive officers.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We have, or previously had, employment agreements with certain of our executive officers as described above. The arrangements reflected in these employment agreements are designed to encourage the officers’ full attention and dedication to our Company currently and, in the event of any proposed change in control, provide these officers with individual financial security. The employment agreements provide for specified payments and benefits by us to our executive officers only upon a qualifying termination of employment as described below.

Termination by Us Without Good Cause or by Executive with Good Reason — No Change in Control

Under the employment agreements for each of Messrs. O’Dowd and Walker, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment without “cause” (referred to as “good cause” in certain employment agreements) or resignation by the executive for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the employment agreements), the executive would be entitled to, subject to the executive’s signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates, (i) the sum of his salary, payable on a biweekly basis ratably over 12 months, and target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, (ii) a continuation of welfare benefits for a period of two years after such termination, (iii) unpaid accrued base salary and unused vacation pay through the termination date, and (iv) amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination.

15

Additionally, all outstanding equity awards that vest solely on the passage of time held by such executives would immediately vest in full for each of Messrs. O’Dowd and Walker. Furthermore, the above obligations of the Company are subject to the executive complying with a non-solicitation agreement of employees and customers and a non-competition agreement.

Termination or Resignation in Connection with a Change in Control

In the event of termination of the executive’s employment without “cause” or resignation by the executive for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the employment agreements), in the 12 months following a change in control, Messrs. O’Dowd and Walker would have all the benefits and obligations for termination without a change in control, except that the executives would receive the sum their respective salaries and continuation of welfare benefits for 18 months and each would receive 150% of their targeted annual bonus award.

Termination by Reason of Death or Disability

For Messrs. O’Dowd and Walker, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment by reason of his death or “disability” (as such term is defined in the employment agreements), in addition to those payments and benefits provided to salaried employees generally, including amounts accrued but unpaid at the time of termination, each of the executives would be entitled to (i) pro-rated target annual incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which such termination of employment occurs, payable in a lump sum, subject to the executive’s signing and not revoking a full and complete release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates in the event of a disability, (ii) immediate vesting of all outstanding equity awards that vest solely on the passage of time, (iii) accrued but unused vacation pay through the termination date, payable in a lump sum, and (iv) all other rights and benefits the executive is vested in, pursuant to other plans and programs of our Company.

Nonqualified Defined Contribution and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not offer any nonqualified defined contribution plans or nonqualified deferred compensation plans for any of our NEOs.

Limitation of Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, provide that we may indemnify to the full extent of our power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents. The effect of this provision in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders, either directly or through stockholders’ derivative suits brought on behalf of our Company, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in those instances described under Nevada law.

Insofar as indemnification by our Company for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to officers and directors of our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are aware that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Director Compensation

We compensate our non-employee directors with a combination of cash and equity. Our Board of Directors receives the following cash compensation for their service: each director receives an annual cash retainer of $57,500; the chairperson of the Board receives an additional $22,500 annual cash retainer; the chairperson of our Audit Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $30,000 and the other members of the Audit Committee receive an annual cash retainer of $15,000; the chairperson of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $20,000 and the other members of the Compensation Committee receive an annual cash retainer of $12,000; and the chairperson of each of our other committees receives an annual cash retainer of $12,500 and the other members receive an annual cash retainer of $7,500.

Security ownership of principal stockholders, directors and officers

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 25, 2022, by the following:

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 25, 2022.

Policy Relating to Related Party Transactions

We have a policy that we will not enter into any material transaction in which a director or officer has a direct or indirect financial interest unless the transaction is determined by our Board of Directors to be fair to us or is approved by a majority of our disinterested directors or by our stockholders, as provided for under Nevada law. Generally, our Board of Directors as a whole, other than an affected director, if applicable, determines whether a director or officer has a direct or indirect (i.e., any) financial interest in a transaction deemed material based upon our Code of Conduct and Ethics and Nevada law. From time to time, our Audit Committee, in accordance with its charter, will also review potential conflict of interest transactions involving members of our Board of Directors and our executive officers. The policy with respect to such transactions is provided in our Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The charter of our Audit Committee provides that the duties and responsibilities of our Audit Committee include the pre-approval, or adopting procedures for pre-approval, of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services permitted by law or applicable SEC regulations (including fee and cost ranges) to be performed by our independent auditor. Any pre-approved services that will involve fees or costs exceeding pre-approved levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Unless otherwise specified by the Audit Committee in pre-approving a service, the pre-approval will be effective for the 12-month period following pre-approval. The Audit Committee will not approve any non-audit services prohibited by applicable SEC regulations or any services in connection with a

20

transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported by the Code and related regulations.

To the extent deemed appropriate, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee or any one or more other members of the Audit Committee provided that any member of the Audit Committee who has exercised any such delegation must report any such pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee will not delegate to management the pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent auditor.

Our Audit Committee requires that our independent auditor, in conjunction with our Chief Financial Officer, be responsible for seeking pre-approval for providing services to us and that any request for pre-approval must inform the Audit Committee about each service to be provided and must provide detail as to the particular service to be provided.

All of the services provided by Grant Thornton LLP (PCAOB ID Number 248), Miami, Florida, described above were approved by our Audit Committee pursuant to our Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies.
