AffaMed Agreement

In June 2020, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the AffaMed Agreement) with EverInsight Therapeutics Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, now AffaMed Therapeutics, Inc. (AffaMed), pursuant to which we granted AffaMed an exclusive license to develop and commercialize fasedienol for social anxiety disorder (SAD) and potentially other anxiety-related disorders in Greater China, South Korea and Southeast Asia (which includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) (collectively, the Territory). We retain exclusive development and commercialization rights for fasedienol in the U.S. and throughout the rest of the world outside the Territory.

We are responsible for pursuing clinical development and regulatory submissions of fasedienol for acute treatment of anxiety in adults with SAD, and potentially other anxiety-related indications, in the United States on a ‘‘best efforts’’ basis, with no guarantee of success. If conducted, AffaMed may participate in a Phase 3 global clinical trial of fasedienol and would assume all direct costs and expenses of conducting such clinical trial in the Territory and a portion of the indirect costs of a global trial in which they participate. We will transfer all development data (nonclinical and clinical data) and our regulatory documentation related to fasedienol throughout the term as it is developed or generated or otherwise comes into our control. We will grant to AffaMed a Right of Reference to our regulatory documentation and our development data, but retain exclusive development and commercialization rights for fasedienol in the U.S. and throughout the rest of the world outside the Territory.

Under the terms of the AffaMed Agreement, AffaMed paid to us a non-refundable upfront license payment of $5.0 million in August 2020. Additionally, upon successful development and commercialization of fasedienol in the Territory, we are eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $172.0 million. Further, we are eligible to receive royalty payments on a country-by-country basis on net sales for the later of ten years or the expiration of market or regulatory exclusivity in the

jurisdiction, except that payments will be reduced on a country-by-country basis in the event there is no market exclusivity in the period. Royalty payments may also be reduced if there is a generic competitive product in the Territory in the period.

We have determined that we have one combined performance obligation for the license to develop and commercialize fasedienol in the Territory and related development and regulatory services. In addition, AffaMed has an option that, if exercised by AffaMed, could create manufacturing obligations for us during development upon exercise. This option for manufacturing services was evaluated and determined not to include a material right.

Development and commercialization milestones were not considered probable at inception and therefore were excluded from the initial transaction price. The royalties were excluded from the initial transaction price because they relate to a license of intellectual property and are subject to a royalty constraint.

We recognize revenue as the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time using an input method. Significant management judgment is required to determine the level of effort attributable to the performance obligation included in the AffaMed Agreement and the period over which we expect to complete our performance obligation. The performance period or measure of progress was estimated at the inception of the AffaMed Agreement and is re-evaluated in subsequent reporting periods. This re-evaluation may shorten or lengthen the period over which we recognize revenue.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we had short-term deferred revenue of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and long-term deferred revenue of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the AffaMed Agreement. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized revenue of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, under the AffaMed Agreement, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period. The remaining deferred revenue under the AffaMed Agreement will be recognized over the expected remaining contractual term.

Fuji Pharma Agreement

On September 1, 2023, we entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (the Negotiation Agreement) with Fuji Pharma Co., Ltd. (Fuji Pharma), a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed, Japan-based pharmaceutical company with a significant research, development, and commercial focus on pharmacological therapies for women’s health conditions. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Negotiation Agreement, we agreed, for a limited period of time, to negotiate exclusively with Fuji Pharma for a potential exclusive license agreement to develop and commercialize refisolone (formerly PH80) in Japan. Refisolone, our clinical-stage pherine product candidate focused on women's health conditions, primarily the treatment of vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) associated with menopause (the Potential Definitive Agreement). The Negotiation Agreement provides for an exclusive negotiation period beginning on the date of formal written notice being received by Fuji Pharma that we have selected a contract development and manufacturing organization to conduct preclinical toxicology studies for refisolone (the Payment Event), and terminating on the later to occur of (i) fourteen (14) months from the date of the Payment Event or (ii) ninety (90) days from the date that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepts our refisolone Investigational New Drug (IND) application for clinical development of refisolone in the U.S. for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) due to menopause (the Exclusive Negotiation Period).

As consideration for the Exclusive Negotiation Period, Fuji Pharma agreed to make a payment to us of $1.5 million (Purchase Price), payable upon occurrence of the Payment Event. The Payment Event occurred in October 2023, and we received payment of the Purchase Price in full in November 2023. The Purchase Price is non-refundable, except upon a material breach of the Negotiation Agreement by the Company; however, should the Company and Fuji Pharma enter into the Potential Definitive Agreement, the Purchase Price will be credited against any upfront fee due in connection with the execution of such Potential Definitive Agreement. Neither the Company nor Fuji Pharma is obligated to enter into the Potential Definitive Agreement, and if the Company and Fuji Pharma have not entered into the Potential Definitive Agreement on or before the end of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, either the Company or Fuji Pharma may terminate any further negotiations.

As of December 31, 2025, the entire amount remaining unrecognized under the Negotiation Agreement of $1.3 million was classified as short term, as a component of deferred revenue, current portion, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized no revenue under the Negotiation Agreement. The remaining deferred revenue under the Negotiation Agreement will be recognized upon termination of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, or accounted for as a creditable prepayment under ASC 606, should an exclusive license agreement be reached with Fuji Pharma prior to the date of termination.
