NOTE 1 - BUSINESS

 

Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Relmada or the Company) (a Nevada corporation), is a clinical-stage, publicly traded biotechnology company focused on the development of NDV-01 and Sepranolone.

 

NDV-01 is a novel, controlled-release intravesical formulation of gemcitabine and docetaxel. NDV-01 is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial to assess its safety and efficacy in patients with aggressive forms of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

 

Sepranolone is a novel neurosteroid epimer of allopregnanolone. Sepranolone is being developed for the potential treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, excessive tremor and other diseases related to excessive GABAergic activity.

 

The Esmethadone (d-methadone, dextromethadone, REL-1017) program has been paused pending a comprehensive data review of the data generated so far. Esmethadone an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Esmethadone is a new chemical entity (NCE) that potentially addresses areas of high unmet medical need in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases and other disorders.

 

Relmada was also developing a proprietary, modified-release formulation of psilocybin (REL-P11) for metabolic indications. This program was terminated effective May 12, 2025, after a successful P1 study and in light of the adversely changed regulatory environment affecting chronic administration of psylocibin and potentially other psychedelic drugs.

 

In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed or that any product will be approved or commercially viable. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.

 

On January 21, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market advising that, for 30 consecutive business days preceding the notification letter, the Company did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. The deficiency letter does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 21, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price for our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, as required by the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to us that we comply with the minimum bid price requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). While we intend to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain continued compliance with this rule or the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market. If we were unable to meet these requirements, we would receive another delisting notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market for failure to comply with one or more of the continued listing requirements. If our common stock were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market, trading of our common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Markets or in the “pink sheets.” Such a downgrading in our listing market may limit our ability to make a market in our common stock and which may impact purchases or sales of our securities.

 

On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Asarina Pharma AB (Asarina), a Swedish corporation, pursuant to which the Company has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase from Asarina all right, title, and interest in Sepranolone, a phase 2b ready neurosteroid being developed for the potential treatment of Prader-Willi Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, essential tremor and other diseases related to excessive GABAergic activity. The total purchase price for Sepranolone is €3,000,000. The Company paid Asarina $2,756,000 on February 5, 2025, which includes a credit of $250,000 for a previous payment made by the Company to Asarina pursuant to an exclusivity agreement dated October 25, 2024.

 

On March 24, 2025, we entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with Trigone, an Israeli company. The license agreement is for Trigone’s NDV-01 product, which is a novel, sustained-release, intravesical gemcitabine/docetaxel, ready-for-use product candidate for the treatment of NMIBC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made a $3,500,000 upfront payment on March 25, 2025, and issued 3,017,420 shares of common stock, which represented 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares on such date, for exclusive worldwide rights to NDV-01, excluding Israel, India and South Africa.

 

In addition, the Company will pay up to approximately $200 million in development, regulatory and sales milestones pending successful commercialization. The Company will also pay a royalty of 3% on any net sales.
