EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering an additional 205,668 shares of Common Stock of Venus Concept Inc. (the “Registrant”) issuable under the Venus Concept Inc. 2019
Incentive Award Plan (the “2019 Plan”), none of which have been issued as of the date of this Registration Statement. These additional shares of Common Stock are securities of the same class as other securities for which the original
registration statement on Form S-8 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 13, 2019 (File No. 333-235480) and remains effective.
These additional shares of Common Stock have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the automatic annual increase provision of the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan provides that the total number of shares
subject to such plan will be increased annually on the first day of each year, beginning in 2020 and ending in 2029, by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) four percent (4%) of the shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock outstanding on the last day
of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of Shares as determined by the Board of Directors.
