Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Private Placement Offering
On February 10, 2025, Grace Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), in connection with a private placement offering of the Company’s securities (the
“Offering”), entered into with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Investors”) (i) a securities purchase agreement involving a placement agent (the “Placement Agent Purchase Agreement”), (ii) a securities purchase agreement not
involving a placement agent (the “Non-Placement Agent Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Placement Agent Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), and (iii) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to offer and sell in the Offering an aggregate of 3,252,132 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.395 per share of Common Stock and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to
purchase up to 1,166,160 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price equal to the purchase price per Share less $0.0001. Each Pre-Funded Warrant
will be exercisable for one Pre-Funded Warrant Share at an exercise price of $0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share, will be immediately exercisable and will expire once exercised in full.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, for each Share and each Pre-Funded Warrant issued in
the Offering, the Company agreed to issue to the purchaser thereof an accompanying common warrant (the “Common Warrants” and, together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof), exercisable for an aggregate of 4,418,292 shares of Common Stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants
in lieu thereof) (the “Common Warrant Shares” and, together with the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). Each Common Warrant is exercisable for
one Common Warrant Share at an exercise price of $3.395 per Common Warrant Share (or one Pre-Funded Warrant at an exercise price of $3.3949 per Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu
thereof), will be immediately exercisable and will expire on 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the earlier of (i) the 60th day after the date the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves the New Drug Application for GTx-104 and
(ii) September 25, 2028. The Common Warrants are being offered and sold at a purchase price of $0.125 per Common Warrant, which purchase price is included in the offering price per Share and Pre-Funded Warrant issued in the Offering.
TD Securities (USA) LLC acted as placement agent for the Offering. The Company has agreed to pay the placement agent customary placement fees in its capacity as
placement agent for the sale of the Company’s securities to certain of the Investors.
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $13.8 million, after deducting fees and expenses. The Offering is
expected to close on February 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register for resale the Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company
has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement covering the resale of the securities described above to be declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the
60th calendar day following the initial filing date of the initial registration statement if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifies the Company that it will “review” the initial registration statement and (b) the fifth business
day after the date the Company is notified by the SEC that the initial registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Failure by the Company to meet the filing deadlines and other requirements set forth in
the Purchase Agreements may subject the Company to certain damages. The Company also agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of the date the Shares and the Warrant Shares covered by such
registration statement have been sold or may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction. The Company has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Company may not, subject to certain exceptions, until the later of (a) 90 days from the Closing Date
and (b) 30 days after the effective date of the registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), (i) issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, (ii) effect a reverse stock split,
recapitalization, share consolidation, reclassification or similar transaction affecting the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating
to any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, except pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Each Warrant will be exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the original issue date. Holders of the Warrants will not have the right
to exercise any portion of its Warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (at the initial election of the holder) of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease such Beneficial Ownership Limitation up to, and no higher than, 19.99%, by giving 61 days’ notice
to the Company. As more fully described in the Warrants, if a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that
the Company may exercise and will assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the Warrants itself. If holders of Common Stock are given a choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in such a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it would receive upon any exercise of the Warrants following such a Fundamental Transaction.
The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemptions
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors.
