Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SXTP; SXTPW) (“60P” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company

was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days, which was achieved during
the period between August 12, 2024 and August 23, 2024. The Company’s closing price was $1.81 on August 23, 2024.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current view about future events. When used in this press release, the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or
the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and
assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy,
activities of regulators and future regulations and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future,
they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside
of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial
condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: there is substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue on a going-concern basis; we might not be eligible for Australian government research and development
tax rebates; if we are not able to successfully develop, obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for, and provide for
the commercialization of non-malaria prevention indications for tafenoquine (ARAKODA® or other regimen) or Celgosivir in
a timely manner, we may not be able to expand our business operations; we may not be able to successfully conduct planned clinical trials;
and we have no manufacturing capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly delays of bringing our products to market. More
detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements is set forth
in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the information contained
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and our subsequent SEC filings. Investors
and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. As a result of
these matters, changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or other circumstances, the Company’s actual results may differ
materially from the expected results discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Any forward-looking
statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which
it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from
time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
