Item

3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The

information set forth under Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item

5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

previously disclosed, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of NexGel, Inc. (the “Company”) held on September 23, 2026,

the Company’s stockholders approved, among other things, a proposal granting the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)

discretionary authority to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value

$0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-20, with the exact

ratio and timing to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion within one year of stockholder approval.

The

Board has determined to effect the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On October

7, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated

Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The

Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 12, 2026 (the “Split Effective Time”),

pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Amendment.

the Split Effective Time, every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Split Effective Time

will automatically, and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be combined and reclassified into one (1) validly issued,

fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.001 per share, and the Reverse

Stock Split will not change the number of shares of capital stock the Company is authorized to issue.

fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled

to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will instead receive one whole share of Common Stock

in lieu of such fractional share (i.e., each fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest

whole share). No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Proportional

adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding

equity awards, convertible preferred stock, warrants and other convertible or exercisable securities, and to the exercise, conversion

or purchase prices thereof, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable award or security.

Following

the Split Effective Time, the Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NXGL,”

but will trade under a new CUSIP number, 65344E 206.

The

foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment 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 as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein

by reference.

CERTIFICATE

OF AMENDMENT TO THE

AMENDED

AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

NEXGEL,

INC.

NexGel,

Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, by its

duly authorized officer, does hereby certify that:

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted resolutions (i) authorizing the Corporation to execute and file with the Secretary

of State of the State of Delaware an amendment of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended

(the “Restated Certificate”), to effect the reverse stock split described below and (ii) declaring such amendment

to be advisable and in the best interest of the Corporation.

Upon this Certificate of Amendment becoming effective, a new paragraph E is added to Article IV of the Restated Certificate as

follows:

“E.

Effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on

October 12, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), each twenty (20) shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par

value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”)

(including the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all issued and outstanding options, warrants

and convertible securities of every kind, including all options, shares outstanding and authorized for issuance under the

Corporation’s equity incentive plans), will automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders

thereof, be combined and reclassified into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “New Common

Stock”) (and such combination and reclassification, the “Reverse Stock Split”). Notwithstanding the

immediately preceding sentence, no fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

Each holder of Old Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of New Common Stock as a result of the Reverse

Stock Split shall instead be entitled to receive one (1) whole share of New Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share (i.e.,

each fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share). The Reverse Stock Split shall not change the par value of the

New Common Stock or the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock of the Corporation.”

This Certificate of Amendment has been duly approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with

Sections 141(f), 222 and 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

This Certificate of Amendment shall become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 12, 2026.

[SIGNATURE
