On March 4, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“MyMD New Jersey” or, prior to the Reincorporation (as defined below), the “Company”) merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MyMD Delaware” or, following the Reincorporation, the “Company”), with MyMD Delaware being the surviving corporation, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 4, 2024, by and between MyMD New Jersey and MyMD Delaware (the “Plan of Merger”), for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New Jersey to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Plan of Merger and the Reincorporation were approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, held on July 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”).
MyMD Delaware is deemed to be the successor issuer of MyMD New Jersey under Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of the Plan of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

In addition, the Company’s common stock will retain the same CUSIP number and continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MYMD.” Holders of shares of the Company’s common stock will not have to exchange their existing Company stock certificates for MyMD Delaware stock certificates.
As of the Effective Date of the Reincorporation, the rights of the Company’s stockholders are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the MyMD Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and the Bylaws of MyMD Delaware, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.
