On July 2, 2026, Veru Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and Canaccord Genuity LLC (each, a “Sales Agent” and, together, the “Sales Agents”), as sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, to or through the applicable Sales Agent (the “Designated Sales Agent”), shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The offering and sale of up to $21,800,000 of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement are registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-294911), which became effective on April 15, 2026, which includes a base prospectus and a related prospectus supplement that was filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2026.

The Company is not obligated to sell any shares of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, each Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell shares of Common Stock from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. Upon delivery of a placement notice, and subject to the Company’s instructions in that notice, and the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement generally, the Designated Sales Agent may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined by Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell shares under the Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay the Designated Sales Agent a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of the Common Stock and has agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses.

The foregoing summary 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 was filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

A copy of the opinion of Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c., counsel to the Company, relating to the validity of the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the related consent are filed hereto as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.1, respectively.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Sales Agreement were made solely for purposes of the agreement and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to security holders. Security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.

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