Talking points:

• Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PTPI) is a well-funded leader in the emerging prescription to over-the-counter (Rx-to-OTC) self-care market.
• In conjunction with FDA guidelines, Petros has developed a structured pathway that leverages technology in an effort to bring mature prescription products OTC.
• The Company is working towards approval of its lead product as the first prescription-grade ED medication to be available OTC. It has made significant progress on its path including:

o   Completing a pivotal label comprehension study (LCS). Using FDA guidance provided to the company in 2022, the LCS is expected to satisfy a critical step in the organization's progress towards a possible non-prescription version of its therapeutic. Akin to a Phase 2a study in clinical development sequencing, this study's purpose is to evaluate the nonprescription Drug Facts Label and consumer comprehension of key guidelines for safe and appropriate use.

o   Initiating a self-selection study using the Drug Facts Label (DFL) tested during its previously announced LCS.

o   Developing a technological component of its self-selection study utilizing machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI), which the Company plans to integrate into its self-selection studies for its erectile dysfunction drug.

• Petros is a pure play leader in the emerging Rx-to-OTC self-care market. Consumers want to have greater control of their health and are looking for Rx-to-OTC therapeutics to meet their needs, without needing to see a doctor for a prescription.
