Item 5.03 Amendments to articles of incorporation or bylaws; change in fiscal year
On December 12, 2025, Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 16, 2025. Beginning with the opening of trading on December 17, 2025, Processa’s Common Stock will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under new CUSIP number 74275C403 and will continue to trade under the symbol “PCSA.”
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. We will not be issuing fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole number and, accordingly, no money will be paid for a fractional share.
The Reverse Stock Split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of 1,000,000,000 or change the par value of the Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s shares of Common Stock except for the impact of fractional shares.
All outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock units and similar securities entitling their holders to receive or purchase shares of Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, as required by the terms of each security.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1
Certificate of Amendment
to the
fourth AMENDED AND RESTATED certificate of incorporation
of
Processa pharmaceuticals, inc.
Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies as follows:
1. This Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) amends the provisions of the Corporation’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).
2. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 242 of the DGCL setting forth a proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and declaring said amendment to be advisable. The Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:
| (a) | Section A of the Certificate of Incorporation setting forth the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation is hereby supplemented by addition of the following paragraphs as new subsection 5 under “A. Common Stock”: |
5. Reverse Stock Split. Upon this Certificate of Amendment becoming effective pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall be reclassified into a different number of shares of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”) such that each twenty-five shares of Old Common Stock shall, at the Effective Time, be automatically reclassified into one share of New Common Stock. From (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and after the Effective Time, certificates representing the Old Common Stock shall represent the number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which such Old Common Stock shall have been reclassified pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of such reclassification. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole number and, accordingly, no money will be paid for a fractional share.
From and after the Effective Time, the term “New Common Stock” as used in this Section shall mean the Common Stock as provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as further amended by this Certificate of Amendment. The par value of the New Common Stock shall be $0.0001 per share.
3. The requisite stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved this Certificate of Amendment in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.
4. This Certificate of Amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 16, 2025.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed as of the date set forth below.
