On December 30, 2022, Journey Medical Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”), under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, 4,900,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), through or to the Agent. The issuance and sale, if any, of Shares by the Company under the Sales Agreement is subject to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2022.

Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay the Agent a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of Shares sold through the Agent under the Sales Agreement and has provided the Agent with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company will also reimburse the Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement.

The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Shares subject to the Sales Agreement or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the legal opinion of McGuireWoods LLP relating to the legality of the issuance of the shares in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Shares, nor shall there be any sale of such Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
