To our stockholders:
We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Context Therapeutics Inc. to be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual stockholder meeting through which you can listen to the meeting, submit questions and vote online. The Annual Meeting can be accessed by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CNTX2024 and entering your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you).
Details regarding admission to the Annual Meeting and the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and proxy statement.
We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's "notice and access" rules. As a result, we are sending to our stockholders a notice instead of paper copies of this proxy statement and our 2023 Annual Report. The notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet. The notice also contains instructions on how stockholders can receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy statement, our 2023 Annual Report and a form of proxy card or voting instruction form. We believe that providing our proxy materials over the Internet increases the ability of our stockholders to connect with the information they need, while reducing the environmental impact and cost of our Annual Meeting.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we hope you will vote as soon as possible. You may vote by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions on the notice you received, or, if you receive a paper proxy card or voting instruction form by mail, by completing and returning the proxy card or voting instruction form mailed to you. Please carefully review the instructions on each of your voting options described in this proxy statement, as well as in the notice you receive.
Thank you for your ongoing support of and continued interest in Context Therapeutics Inc. We look forward to your participation at the Annual Meeting.
Sincerely,
/s/ MARTIN LEHR

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held On June 13, 2024
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING
We are providing you with these proxy materials because the Board of Directors of Context Therapeutics Inc. (the "Board") is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Context Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company"), including at any adjournments or postponements thereof, to be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual stockholder meeting through which you can listen to the meeting, submit questions and vote online. The Annual Meeting can be accessed by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CNTX2024 and entering your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you). You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply follow the instructions below to submit your proxy. The proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, are being distributed and made available on or about April 26, 2024. As used in this Proxy Statement, references to "we," "us," "our," "Context" and the "Company" refer to Context Therapeutics Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.
Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials on the Internet instead of a full set of proxy materials?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet rather than printing and mailing the proxy materials. We believe electronic delivery will expedite the receipt of materials and will help lower our costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting materials. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.
The Notice will provide instructions as to how stockholders may access and review the proxy materials, including the Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement, proxy card and Annual Report on Form 10-K, on the website referred to in the Notice or, alternatively, how to request that a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, be sent to them by mail. The Notice will also provide voting instructions. In addition, stockholders of record may request to receive the proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. Please note that, while our proxy materials are available at the website referenced in the Notice, and our Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K are available on our website, no other information contained on either website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this document.
We intend to send the Notice on or about April 26, 2024 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The proxy materials, including the Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card or, for shares held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), voting instruction form, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, will be made available to stockholders on the Internet on the same date.
Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?
You will not receive any additional proxy materials via mail unless (1) you request a printed copy of the proxy materials in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice or (2) we elect, in our discretion, to send you a proxy card and a second Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which we may send on or after April 26, 2024.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be a virtual stockholder meeting through which you can listen to the meeting, submit questions and vote online. There will be no physical meeting location. To participate, you can access the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CNTX2024 and entering your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you). Prior to the Annual Meeting, you should ensure that you have a strong WiFi connection. We also recommend that you log in a few minutes before the Annual Meeting on June 13, 2024 to ensure you are logged in when the meeting starts and to ensure that you can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the meeting. Online check-in will begin at 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time on June 13, 2024.
We have decided to hold a virtual meeting because it improves stockholder access, encourages greater global participation, lowers costs compared to an in-person event, and aligns with our broader sustainability goals. Stockholders attending the virtual meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. Information on how to vote online while attending the Annual Meeting is discussed below.
Can I ask questions at the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record as of the record date for the Annual Meeting and their proxy holders may submit questions or comments at the Annual Meeting. If you would like to submit a question, you may do so by joining the virtual Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CNTX2024 using your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you), and typing your question in the box in the Annual Meeting portal.
To help ensure that we have a productive and efficient meeting, and in fairness to all stockholders in attendance, you will also find posted our rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting when you log in prior to its start. In accordance with the rules of conduct, we ask that you limit your remarks to one brief question or comment that is relevant to the Annual Meeting or our business and that remarks are respectful of your fellow stockholders and meeting participants. Questions may be grouped by topic by our management with a representative question read aloud and answered. In addition, questions may be ruled as out of order if they are, among other things, irrelevant to our business, related to pending or threatened litigation, disorderly, repetitious of statements already made, or in furtherance of the speaker’s own personal, political or business interests. Questions will be addressed in the Q&A portion of the Annual Meeting.
What if I need technical assistance accessing or participating in the virtual Annual Meeting?
If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call toll free: 1-844-986-0822, or if calling internationally, please call: 1-303-562-9302.
Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 15, 2024 will be entitled to vote online while attending the Annual Meeting. On this record date, there were 15,966,053 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If on April 15, 2024, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Company), then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote online while attending the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote your shares electronically through the Internet prior to the meeting, over the telephone, or by completing and returning a printed proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
If on April 15, 2024, your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares online while attending the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Table of Contents
What am I voting on?
There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

Ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of CohnReznick LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (Proposal 1).
Election of Richard Berman, Dr. Philip Kantoff, Martin Lehr, Jennifer Evans Stacey and Linda West to our Board of Directors, each to serve until our 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until such person's successor is duly elected and qualified. (Proposal 2).
What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?
The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons acting as proxies to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.
How do I vote?
Proposal No. 1: Ratification of the Appointment of CohnReznick LLP as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Company. Votes may be cast: FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Broker non-votes are not expected to occur in connection with this proposal because brokers, banks, trustees and other nominees have discretionary voting authority to vote shares on the ratification of independent registered public accounting firms under stock exchange rules without specific instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes cast against the proposal.

Proposal No. 2: Election of Directors. Votes may be cast: FOR ALL nominees, WITHHOLD ALL nominees or FOR ALL EXCEPT those nominees noted by you on the appropriate portion of your proxy or voting instructions. A plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors is required to elect director nominees, and as such, the five nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote on the matter will be elected. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
The procedures for voting are fairly simple:
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online while attending the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the telephone, vote by proxy through the Internet prior to the Annual Meeting, or vote by proxy using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote online during the Annual Meeting even if you have already voted by proxy.

To vote online during the Annual Meeting, join the virtual Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CNTX2024 using your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you) and follow the instructions in the Annual Meeting portal.
To vote by using a printed proxy card that may be delivered to you, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card that may be delivered and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.
To vote over the telephone, dial toll-free (800) 690-6903 using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from the Notice. Your telephone vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on June 12, 2024 to be counted.
To vote through the Internet without attending the Annual Meeting, go to www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. Have your 16-digit control number (included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials sent to you) and follow the instructions in the Annual Meeting portal. Your Internet vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on June 12, 2024 to be counted.

Table of Contents
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from us. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online while attending the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.
We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online via proxy prior to the Annual Meeting, and Internet voting to allow you to vote your shares during the Annual Meeting, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.
Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice?
No. The Notice identifies the items to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the Notice and returning it. The Notice provides instructions on how to vote.
How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you owned as of April 15, 2024.
What happens if I do not vote?
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by telephone, through the Internet prior to the Annual Meeting, by completing the printed proxy card that may be delivered to you or online while attending the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the particular proposal is considered to be a "routine" matter under applicable rules. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote "uninstructed" shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine" under applicable rules but not with respect to "non-routine" matters. Under applicable rules and interpretations, "non-routine" matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. Proposal 1 is considered to be a “routine” matter, so your broker or nominee may vote your shares in its discretion on that proposal even in the absence of your instruction.
What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?
If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, "FOR" the ratification of the selection of CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and “FOR ALL” director nominees listed under Proposal 2. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?
If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Table of Contents
Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the vote during the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:
You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy).
You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the Internet prior to the Annual Meeting.
You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your earlier-dated proxy to our Corporate Secretary c/o Context Therapeutics Inc., 2001 Market Street, Suite 3915, Unit #15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote online during the meeting. Simply attending the Annual Meeting via the virtual platform will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions or vote by telephone or through the Internet so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
Your most current proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that will be counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent to change your voting instructions.
When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year's annual meeting?
To be considered for inclusion in next year's proxy materials, you must submit your proposal, in writing, by December 27, 2024, to our Corporate Secretary c/o Context Therapeutics Inc., 2001 Market Street, Suite 3915, Unit #15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, and you must comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Pursuant to our bylaws, if you wish to bring a proposal before the stockholders or nominate a director at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be timely, you must notify our Corporate Secretary between 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than 5:00 p.m. on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders occurs more than 25 days before or after the first anniversary of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then to be timely, such notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders was first made by the Company. You are also advised to review our bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 14, 2025.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count votes "FOR," "AGAINST," abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes cast against Proposal 1. Abstentions will not be counted towards the vote total for Proposal 2, and will have no effect on the voting of that proposal.
What are "broker non-votes"?
As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be "non-routine," the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as "broker non-votes."As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent.

Further, for purposes of establishing a quorum, we will count as present shares that a stockholder holds even if the stockholder votes to abstain or only votes on one of the proposals. If a quorum is not present, we expect to adjourn the Annual Meeting until we obtain a quorum.
Will a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting be available?
For the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder of record for purposes germane to the Annual MeetingYou may make a request by calling our corporate headquarters at (267) 225-7416 during regular business hours.

____________________________
(1)Chairperson.
Below is a description of each committee of the Board.
Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board has determined that each member of each committee meets the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) rules and regulations regarding "independence" and each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board was established by the Board in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act to oversee our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of our independent registered public accounting firm; determines and approves the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent registered public accounting firm or to appoint and engage a new independent registered public accounting firm; reviews and approves the retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent registered public accounting firm on our audit engagement team as required by law; reviews and approves or disapproves transactions between the Company and any related persons; confers with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and meets to review our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, including a review of the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in its filings with the SEC.
The Audit Committee is composed of three directors: Ms. West; Mr. Berman; and Ms. Stacey. The Audit Committee met seven times during fiscal year 2023. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on our website at https://ir.contexttherapeutics.com.
The Board reviews the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members on an annual basis and has determined that all of the current members of the Audit Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined under Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(i) and (ii) of the Nasdaq listing rules and under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act). The Board has also determined that Ms. West qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in applicable SEC rules. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Ms. West's level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including her formal education and experience holding multiple finance leadership roles.

The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not deemed "filed" with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference in any of our filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Berman, Ms. Stacey, and Ms. West. All members of our Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(d)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules). The Compensation Committee met three times during fiscal year 2023. The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee charter that is available to stockholders on our website at https://ir.contexttherapeutics.com.
The Compensation Committee acts on behalf of the Board to:
review our executive compensation programs to assess whether the programs are designed to enable it to recruit, retain and motivate talented and diverse executives, and are appropriately competitive, support organization objectives and stockholder interests, and create a pay for performance linkage, while also structuring compensation programs to, where determined appropriate, preserve tax deductibility;
oversee all our material employee benefit plans and programs, including the authority to adopt, amend and terminate such plans and programs, including approving changes in the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder, subject to any necessary or advisable approval by our Board or stockholders;
review and discuss annually our compensation policies and practices with management to promote the success of our business and to determine whether the policies and practices encourage excessive risk-taking, review the relationship between risk management policies and compensation and evaluate compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any such risk;
review, approve and administer annual and long-term incentive compensation plans for executive officers and other senior executives, including by (i) establishing performance objectives and certifying performance achievement, (ii) evaluating the competitiveness of such plans, (iii) reviewing and approving all equity incentive plans and grant awards under such plans, and (iv) adopting, amending and terminating any such plans;
administer our equity incentive plans;
review and approve amendments to, or termination of, any compensatory contracts or similar transactions or arrangements with such other employees as the Compensation Committee determines, including employment agreements, severance arrangements, transition or consulting agreements, retirement agreements and change-in-control agreements or provisions;
consider for adoption and oversee any stock ownership guidelines, share retention policies or clawback policies applicable to our executive officers; and
undertake any other tasks enumerated in the charter of the Compensation Committee.
Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures
The Compensation Committee meets as often as it deems necessary, but at least once per year. From time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisers or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. However, neither the Chief Executive Officer, nor any other executive officer, may be present during portions of any meetings during which his or her respective performance or compensation are being deliberated or determined. In addition, under its charter, the Compensation Committee has the
8

Table of Contents
authority to obtain, at our expense, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisers and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for the oversight of the work of any consultants or advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the Compensation Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion, compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant's reasonable fees and other retention terms. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the Compensation Committee, other than in-house legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after assessing the independence of such person in accordance with SEC and Nasdaq requirements that bear upon the adviser's independence; however, there is no requirement that any adviser be independent.
During each of 2021 and 2022, after taking into consideration the factors prescribed by the SEC and Nasdaq, the Compensation Committee engaged Cannae HR Solutions (the "Consultant"), a compensation consulting firm, as a compensation consultant. Management also engaged the Consultant as a compensation consultant for 2023 and reported this information back to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has assessed the Consultant's independence and determined that the Consultant had no conflicts of interest in connection with its provisions of services to the Compensation Committee or management. Specifically, the Compensation Committee and management engaged the Consultant to provide market data, peer group analysis and conduct an executive compensation assessment to help determine appropriate cash and equity compensation for our executive officers and other senior management against compensation for similarly situated executives at the companies the Consultant identified, in coordination with our Compensation Committee, to be comparable to the Company, and in determining appropriate employment agreement terms for our executive officers. During each of 2021 and 2022, our management did not have the ability to direct the Consultant's work, and for 2023, management engaged the Consultant to provide the same services as during previous engagements.
The Compensation Committee makes most of the significant adjustments to annual compensation, determines bonus and equity awards and establishes new performance objectives at one or more meetings held during the last quarter of each year and the first quarter of the following year. The Compensation Committee also considers matters related to individual compensation, such as compensation for new executive hires, as well as high-level strategic issues, such as the efficacy of our compensation strategy, potential modifications to that strategy and new trends, plans or approaches to compensation, at various meetings throughout the year. Generally, the Compensation Committee's process comprises two related elements: the determination of compensation levels and the establishment of performance objectives for the current year. For executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee solicits and considers evaluations and recommendations submitted to the Compensation Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, the evaluation of his performance is conducted by the Compensation Committee, which recommends, for approval by the independent members of the Board, any adjustments to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation as well as equity awards to be granted. For all executives officers and directors as part of its deliberations, the Compensation Committee may review and consider, as appropriate, materials such as financial reports and projections, operational data, tax and accounting information, tally sheets that set forth the total compensation that may become payable to executives in various hypothetical scenarios, executive officer and director stock ownership information, stock performance data, analyses of historical executive compensation levels and current Company-wide compensation levels and recommendations of the Compensation Committee's compensation consultant, including analyses of executive officer and director compensation paid at other companies identified by such consultant to be comparable to us.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board is responsible for, among other things, developing, and recommending to the Board for its approval, criteria and qualifications for service as a director of the Company, identifying, evaluating and recommending to the Board candidates to serve as directors of the Company (consistent with criteria approved by the Board), reviewing the structure and composition of each committee of the Board and continually reviewing important issues and developments in corporate governance.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of three directors: Ms. Stacey, Dr. Kantoff, and Ms. West. Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times during fiscal year 2023. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to stockholders on our website at https://ir.contexttherapeutics.com.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not established specific minimum qualifications for Board members but believes that the assessment of director qualifications may include numerous factors, such as character,
9

Table of Contents
professional ethics and integrity, judgment, business acumen, proven achievement and competence in one’s field, the ability to exercise sound business judgment, tenure on the Board and skills that are complementary to the Board, an understanding of the Company’s business, an understanding of the responsibilities that are required of a member of the Board, other time commitments, diversity with respect to professional background, education, race, ethnicity, gender, age and geography, as well as other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experiences represented on the Board. Unless the Board determines that the carrying out of a director’s responsibilities to the Company will not be adversely affected by the director’s other directorships: an executive officer-director will not serve on the board of more than two public companies; and directors who are not executive officers will not serve on more than four public company boards in addition to the Board of the Company. In September 2022 and January 2024, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered Mr. Berman’s other public company directorships and determined that the carrying out of his responsibilities to the Company will not be adversely affected by such directorships. Among other factors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered Mr. Berman’s excellent record of attendance at Board and committee meetings, the high quality of his contributions at such Board and committee meetings, and the relevant experience he has from serving on other boards.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board evaluate each director in the context of the membership of the Board as a group, with the objective of maintaining a Board that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests. In determining whether to recommend an incumbent director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the director’s past attendance at meetings, participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and the Company and other qualifications and characteristics set forth above and in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s charter. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders so long as such recommendations and nominations comply with our charter and bylaws, all applicable Company policies and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and in the same manner as candidates recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from other sources. Stockholders may recommend director nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by writing to the Secretary of the Company at Context Therapeutics Inc., 2001 Market Street, Suite 3915, Unit #15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Company’s bylaws. Such recommendations must also include: the full name of the proposed nominee; the proposed nominee’s home and business contact information; detailed biographical information; relevant qualifications; a signed letter from the candidate confirming the candidate’s willingness to serve; information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the Company; evidence of the recommending stockholder’s ownership of Company stock; and a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate.
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholder communications will be reviewed by our Secretary, who will determine whether the communication should be presented to the Board. The purpose of this screening is to allow the Board to avoid having to consider irrelevant or inappropriate communications (such as advertisements, solicitations and hostile communications). All potential violations reported in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that relate to questionable accounting or auditing matters involving the Company will be immediately sent to our Chairperson of the Audit Committee and to our Chief Legal Officer, who will promptly notify the Audit Committee of all complaints that pertain to an accounting or audit matter and will determine the planned course of action. Communications regarding matters other than accounting or audit will be investigated by our Chief Legal Officer or another appropriate person designated by our Chief Legal Officer.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to assure that the Board will have the necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate our business operations as needed and to make decisions that are independent of our management. The guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors and management with those of our stockholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices the Board intends to follow with respect to, among other things, board composition and selection including diversity, board meetings and involvement of senior management, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation and succession planning, and board committees and compensation. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at https://ir.contexttherapeutics.com on the "Governance" page.

Independence of the Board of Directors
As required under Nasdaq listing rules, a majority of the members of a listed company's board of directors must qualify as "independent," as affirmatively determined by the company's board. The Board consults with the Company's counsel to ensure that the Board's determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning such director's background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board determined that all of the directors, other than Mr. Lehr, are "independent directors" as defined under current rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and the transactions involving them described above.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board has an independent Chair, Richard Berman, who has authority, among other things, to call and preside over Board meetings, including meetings of the independent directors, to set meeting agendas and to determine materials to be distributed to the Board. Accordingly, the Chair has substantial ability to shape the work of the Board. We believe that
13

Table of Contents
separation of the positions of Chair and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of our business and affairs. In addition, we believe that having an independent Chair creates an environment that is more conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of management's performance, increasing management accountability and improving the ability of the Board to monitor whether management's actions are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. As a result, we believe that having an independent Chair can enhance the effectiveness of the Board as a whole.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
One of the Board's key functions is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for our Company. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. It is the responsibility of the chairperson of each committee of the Board to report findings regarding material risk exposures to the Board as quickly as possible.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors met 16 times during 2023. Each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the portion of the last fiscal year for which he or she was a director or committee member.
Each member of the Board is expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.
Diversity

It is our goal to have a workforce that reasonably reflects the diversity of qualified talent that is available in relevant labor markets. We seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.
As described in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we base employment decisions, including selection, development and compensation decisions, on an individual’s qualifications, skills and performance.
We do not base these decisions on personal characteristics or status, such as race, color, sex, pregnancy, national origin, citizenship, religion, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, and/or genetic information. We are fully committed to equal employment opportunity and compliance with the letter and spirit of the full range of fair employment practices and non-discrimination laws in the countries in which we do business.

PROPOSAL 1
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board has selected CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and has further directed that management submit the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. CohnReznick LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since January 2021.
Representatives of CohnReznick LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Neither our bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee of the Board is submitting the selection of CohnReznick LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on this matter will be required to ratify the selection of CohnReznick LLP.

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy under which the Audit Committee approves in advance all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other non-audit services. As part of its pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee considers whether the provision of any proposed non-audit services is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. In accordance with its pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved certain specified audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditor. If there are any additional services to be provided, a request for pre-approval must be submitted to the Audit Committee for its consideration under the policy. The Audit Committee generally pre-approves particular services or categories of services on a case-by-case basis. Finally, in accordance with the pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the chair of the Audit Committee. The chair must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.

All of the services provided by CohnReznick LLP for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 described above were pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee pre-approval policy.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 1, 2024 for:
each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock;
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors; and
all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.
The percentage ownership information shown in the table below is based upon 15,966,053 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 1, 2024.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, these rules require that we include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options and warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 1, 2024. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Except as otherwise noted below, the address for persons listed in the table is c/o Context Therapeutics Inc., 2001 Market Street, Suite 3915, Unit #15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

401(k) Plan
Effective January 1, 2022, we maintain a defined contribution retirement plan (the "401(k) plan"), that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees may defer eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, up to the statutorily prescribed annual limits on contributions under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Contributions are allocated to each participant's individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participants' directions. We contribute a safe harbor minimum contribution equivalent to 3% of employees’ eligible compensation. Employees are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) plan's related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning such director’s background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board determined that all of the directors, other than Mr. Lehr, are “independent directors” as defined under current rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has or had with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and the transactions involving them described above.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Since January 1, 2022, there have been no transactions to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of our then directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of any class of our capital stock at the time of such transaction, or any members of their immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements which are described in “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation Table.” 

Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other annual meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding", potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be "householding" our proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker or Context Therapeutics Inc. Direct your written request to Context Therapeutics Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2001 Market Street, Suite 3915, Unit #15, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their brokers.
