Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock") of Pelthos Therapeutics Inc. (the "Issuer"), issuable upon settlement of restricted stock units of the Issuer ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person pursuant to the Issuer's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "2023 Plan"), each of which represents the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to the vesting terms of such RSUs, and may be settled solely in shares of Common Stock. The original grant of RSUs was reported in Table II of the Form 4 filed by the reporting person (the "Original Form 4"). This Form 4 amendment (this "Amendment") is being filed to amend the Original Form 4 in order to report the grant of such RSUs in Table I.
(2)	The RSUs were received as compensation for the reporting person's service as a member of the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to the 2023 Plan. The RSUs vest as follows: the initial one-third of shares vested on July 2, 2025, and the remainder vesting in equal installments on a quarterly basis thereafter over a period of two years, so long as the reporting person remains in the service of the Issuer on each such anniversary.
