The following summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to purchasers of our securities. Prospective purchasers of securities should carefully review the detailed information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “TherapeuticsMD,” ”we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to TherapeuticsMD, Inc.
Our Business
We are a women’s healthcare product company focused on creating and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women. We currently manufacture and distribute branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins as well as over-the-counter vitamins and cosmetics. We are currently focused on conducting the clinical trials necessary for regulatory approval and commercialization of advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products designed to alleviate the symptoms of and reduce the health risks resulting from menopause-related hormone deficiencies, including hot flashes, osteoporosis, and vaginal dryness. We are developing these proposed hormone therapy products, which contain estradiol and progesterone alone or in combination, with the aim of providing equivalent efficacy at lower doses, thereby enabling an enhanced side effect profile compared with competing products.
The hormone therapy market includes two major components: an FDA-approved drug market and a non-FDA approved drug market supplied by compounding pharmacies. We believe the FDA-approved products are easily measured and monitored, while non-FDA approved hormone therapy drug products, typically referred to as bioidenticals when produced by compounding pharmacies, are sold by compounding pharmacies and not monitored or easily measured. We estimate the non-FDA approved compounded bioidentical hormone therapy combination sales of estradiol and progesterone products sold by compounding pharmacies are approximately $1.5 billion per year. Our phase 3 trials are intended to establish an indication of the safety and efficacy of our proposed bioidentical products at specific dosage levels. We intend our proposed hormone therapy products, if approved, to provide an alternative to the non-FDA approved compounded bioidentical market based on our belief that our proposed products will offer advantages in terms of proven safety, efficacy, and stability, lower patient cost as a result of insurance coverage, and improved access as a result of availability from major retail pharmacy chains rather than custom order or formulation by individual compounders.
As we continue the clinical development of our proposed hormone therapy products, we continue to market our prescription and over-the-counter dietary supplement and cosmetic product lines, consisting of prenatal vitamins, iron supplements, vitamin D supplements, natural menopause relief products, and cosmetic stretch mark creams under our VitaMed brand name and duplicate formulations of our prescription prenatal vitamins products, also referred to as “generic” formulations, under our BocaGreenMD brand name. All of our prenatal vitamins are gluten-, sugar-, and lactose-free. We believe our product attributes result in greater consumer acceptance and satisfaction than competitive products while offering the highest quality and patented ingredients.
Our sales model focuses on the “4Ps”: patient, provider, pharmacist, and payor. We market and sell our current dietary supplement and cosmetic products primarily through a direct national sales force of approximately 30 full-time professionals that calls on healthcare providers in the obstetrics and gynecologic market space as well as through our website directly to consumers. In addition, our products allow healthcare providers to offer an alternative to patients to meet their individual nutritional and financial requirements related to co-payment and cost-of-care considerations and help patients realize cost savings over competing products. We also believe that our combination of branded, generic, and over-the-counter lines offers physicians, women, and payors cost-effective alternatives for top-quality care. We supply our prescription dietary supplement products to consumers through retail pharmacies. We market our over-the-counter products either directly to consumers via our website and phone sales followed by home shipment or through physicians who then re-sell them to their patients. Our fully staffed customer care center uses current customer relationship management software to respond to healthcare providers, pharmacies, and consumers via incoming and outgoing telephone calls, e-mails, and live-chat. We also facilitate repeat customer orders for our non-prescription products through our website’s auto-ship feature.

|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|
|||

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations.
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, our beliefs, our assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our view only as of the date of this prospectus, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future.

● the impact of product liability lawsuits;
● unfavorable publicity or lack of customer acceptance;
● our ability to use hazardous or biological materials in compliance with applicable law;

Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking statements we have included in this prospectus are based on information available to us on the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering, if any.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued 3,953,489 shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement exempt from registration by Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. In October 2013, Ralph Daniel Freudenthal sold 30,000 shares of our common stock acquired in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to an exemption from registration available under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 3,923,489 shares of our common stock acquired, or to be acquired, by the Selling Stockholders.

The table below sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. Such information was obtained from the Selling Stockholders and reflects the beneficial ownership information disclosed by the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated by the footnotes below, updated information regarding beneficial ownership is not publicly available for the Selling Stockholders. When we refer to the Selling Stockholders in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below and any successors, including transferees thereof. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of our common stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus.
We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Stockholders may offer the Shares for sale, if at all. It is possible that the Selling Stockholders will not sell any or all of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus. Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or some of the Shares pursuant to this prospectus, we cannot estimate the number of Shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after the completion of this offering.
The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. None of the Selling Stockholders has held any position or office, or has had any other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years.

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares covered by this prospectus in any legal manner selected by the Selling Stockholders, including directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of fees or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers.
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the Shares:
|
●
|
on the NYSE MKT (or such other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale);
|
|
●
|
in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
●
|
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
●
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
|
|
●
|
block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account;
|
|
●
|
an exchange distribution or secondary distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
●
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
●
|
short sales;
|
|
●
|
through the listing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
|
| 7 |
|
●
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of the Shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
●
|
a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
|
|
●
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or Rule 144, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling the Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions, or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may be in excess of those customary in the type of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares short and deliver the Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act supplementing or amending the list of the Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer or donate the Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees, or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purpose of this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any other broker-dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such distributions. In such event, any commissions received by, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of the Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions, and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless such Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of the purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.
| 8 |
In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all expenses of the registration of the Shares, including the SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the Shares offered by this prospectus. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, which may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus.
Pursuant to the registration rights provisions in the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective and free of any material misstatements or omissions until the earlier of the following: (1) the date on which the Selling Stockholders cease to hold any of the Shares registered hereunder, or (2) the date on which all of the Shares held by the Selling Stockholders may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions that may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification by our company for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors, or controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The validity of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon for us by Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Phoenix, Arizona.
