2 Forward-looking Statements This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are within the meaning of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict and include all matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “project,” “outlook,” “strategy,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “strive,” “goal,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. (Vistagen or the Company) and its management, are inherently uncertain. As with all pharmaceutical products, development and commercialization involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected or implied in these forward-looking statements. There can be no guarantee that any of Vistagen’s product candidates, including fasedienol, will successfully complete future clinical trials within estimated timelines or at all, receive regulatory approval or be commercially successful. Because the Repeat Dose Study was not powered to demonstrate statistical significance, there can be no assurance that the numerical trends and nominally significant findings described in this presentation will be replicated in future, adequately powered clinical trials, or that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will view such findings as supportive of a registrational pathway for fasedienol. Other factors that may cause such a difference include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties relating to conducting future clinical trials as currently expected or at all; Vistagen’s ability to replicate numerical trends and nominally significant findings from studies in the PALISADE Program or that the FDA will view such findings as supportive of a registrational pathway for fasedienol; Vistagen’s ability to successfully employ cash preservation measures and/or secure adequate financing for its operations, including financing or collaborative support for continued clinical development of its product candidates; Vistagen's dependence on third-party collaborators for the development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization of its product candidates and other aspects of its business, which are outside of Vistagen's full control; the scope and enforceability of Vistagen’s patents, including patents related to Vistagen’s pherine product candidates; fluctuating costs of materials and other resources and services required to conduct Vistagen’s ongoing and/or planned clinical and non-clinical trials; market conditions; the impact of general economic, industry or political conditions in the United States or internationally; and other technical and unexpected hurdles in the development, manufacture and commercialization of Vistagen’s product candidates. These risks are more fully discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Vistagen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s SEC filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this presentation and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date. The Company explicitly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements other than as may be required by law. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Be aware that our development and commercialization plans may change at any time, without public notice, based on the kinds of risk factors described above. This presentation discusses certain product candidates that have not yet received marketing authorization or clearance by the FDA. No representation is made as to the safety, effectiveness or likelihood of marketing authorization or clearance of these product candidates. Certain clinical data for fasedienol in this presentation are based on separate studies and include pooled data between such studies. Differences exist between clinical trial design and patient populations, and caution should be exercised when pooling and/or comparing data across trials as pooled data and cross-study comparisons are inherently limited and such data may not be directly comparable. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. These data involve numerous assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates and data. Neither we nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such data or undertakes any obligation to update such data after the date of this presentation.

8 Acute Treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder Fasedienol
9 Social Anxiety Disorder: A serious and debilitating mental health condition characterized by intense fear of being judged and embarrassed Social anxiety disorder is typically characterized by a combination of symptoms stemming from fear, avoidance, and worry Emotional Symptoms • Overwhelming fear • Surges of anxiety • Extreme self-consciousness • Isolation leading to depression Physical Symptoms • Blushing / Sweating • Trembling • Nausea • Fast heartbeat / Chest discomfort • Shortness of breath / Dizziness Real-Life Impact on Patients2 • Missing out on life moments with family and friends • Constant worry in social, school and work situations • Anxiety and difficulty contributing in team settings • Missed career advancement opportunities I do not like to tell others I'm avoiding them because of anxiety. I feel it may seem silly to others who do not struggle with it. Feeling anxiety about going to work tomorrow. My brain is running away with all these ridiculous scenarios that “could” happen. 1 ADAA Social Anxiety Brochure (2021; updated 2022, 2025) 2 Internal Research, SAD Patient Journey NVC 1
10 There is No U.S. FDA-Approved Acute Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder Available Rx therapies fall short of addressing the acute, in-the-moment needs of SAD patients in anxiety-provoking social and performance situations in everyday life. 1 Blackbox warning for increased risk of suicide and suicidal ideation (prescribing information) 2 Bandelow, B., et al. (2023). WFSBP guidelines for treatment of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and posttraumatic stress disorders – Version 3. Part I: Anxiety disorders. The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, 24(2), 79–117. https://doi.org/10.1080/15622975.2022.2086295 3 Warnings/precautions for benzodiazepines (prescribing information) FDA-Approved SSRIs, SNRIs (Zoloft®, Paxil®, Effexor®) • Not FDA-approved for acute treatment of SAD • Long-onset MOAs are not conducive to producing acute, as-needed therapeutic benefit in anxiety- provoking social and performance situations • Well-documented unwanted side effects2 • Require daily systemic maintenance dosing • Potential tolerability and serious safety concerns1 Benzodiazepines, Beta-blockers (Xanax®, propranolol) • Not FDA-approved for treatment of SAD • Require systemic uptake, with potential neuropsychiatric and other safety risks related to systemic MOAs • Benzodiazepine risks: sedation, cognitive impairment, addiction, dependency, and withdrawal syndrome3 • Beta blocker safety risks: bradycardia, exacerbation of cardiac and/or pulmonary conditions, sleep disorder Available Rx therapies have systemic MOAs and considerable safety concerns, especially from repeated same-day off-label use of benzodiazapines and beta blockers
11 Onset of social anxiety disorder can occur at any age but most commonly manifests during adolescence2 ~30M adults, or ~12% of the U.S. adult population, suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder1 U.S. Social Anxiety Disorder Prevalence* = ~30 million adults <50% of social anxiety disorder patients are diagnosed by a healthcare provider1 <23% of social anxiety disorder patients are being treated by available Rx therapies 1 Diagnosed U.S. Patients = ~15 million, Treated U.S. Patients = ~7 million There is a High Unmet Need for a Novel Acute Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder *Prevalence estimates include adult patients suffering from social anxiety disorder, but are unaware or not yet motivated to seek help 1 Baker R, Prince J, Hwang S, Sternbach N.

12 Fasedienol May Bring New Optimism for Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder Fasedienol is designed to trigger neural signals in the olfactory bulb, which travel to the “fear centers” of the limbic amygdala and other brain regions involved in emotion and behavior. Fasedienol Design Traits Rapid-onset effect on both emotional and physical symptoms of peak anxiety, as needed, without sedation or dizziness (associated with benzos or beta blockers) No detectable absorption, no observed drug/drug interactions, or binding to neurons in the brain No observed binding to abuse liability receptors in the brain (“not a benzo”) Patient-tailored administration, as needed up to several times a day 1 Monti L and Liebowitz M. CNS Spectrums. 2020; 2 Internal Vistagen Data on File Potential to be first FDA-approved acute treatment for adults with social anxiety disorder Low incidence of adverse events, favorable safety and tolerability profile 1,2

PALISADE-2 was ended early following an independent analysis of 140 subjects in the efficacy population. The decision was made not to restar t the study due to business reasons. Across the four PALISADE Phase 3 studies completed to date, changes in SUDS were generally similar across the fasedienol treatment groups; however, placebo responses were variable. PALISADE-1, PALISADE-3 and PALISADE-4 did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements on their respective primary endpoints, which assessed reduction in anxiety as measured by SUDS scores compared to placebo.

30 Potential Registrational Path Forward Fasedienol
31 LSAS is Relevant to Measuring Treatment Benefit in Everyday Life • PRN dosing in multiple outpatient anxiety provoking situations rather than a single laboratory challenge • Measures the full burden of social anxiety disorder, including both fear/anxiety and avoidance behaviors across social and performance settings • Evaluates the impact of repeated use over time, reflecting anticipated clinical practice ✓ LSAS served as primary efficacy endpoint in registrational trials for the other FDA-approved social anxiety disorder therapies ✓ Prior FDA feedback has supported LSAS as a primary efficacy endpoint1 ✓ Phase 2 placebo-controlled data and PALISADE open-label findings have shown consistent improvements on LSAS Regulatory & Clinical Precedent As-needed use data from Multiple Real-life Anxiety-provoking Situations Suggest Potential for Meaningful Improvement in Social Anxiety Disorder LSAS Aligns with How Fasedienol is Intended to be Used in Everyday Life 1 Based on prior Type C Meeting held February 2023
32 Phase 2 and Open Label Studies Support Use of LSAS as the Primary Efficacy Endpoint for Potential Phase 3 Path Forward Further evaluation of fasedienol for repeated, as-needed use is supported by continued reductions in LSAS scores observed in prior studies from as early as 2 weeks of treatment Study Setting Treatment LSAS Evidence PH94B-CL028 (Phase 2) Phase 2, Placebo-controlled, multiple-use, real-life events PRN up to 4x/day ~23-point reduction at 2 weeks vs ~8 placebo PH94B-CL0301 (PALISADE-1/2 LTSS) Long term open label, Multiple-use, real-life events PRN up to 4x/day Improvement beginning Month 1 and sustained PALISADE-31 (Open Label Extension) Long term OLE, Multiple-use, real-life events PRN up to 6x/day Improvement beginning Month 1 and sustained PALISADE-41 (Open Label Extension) Long term OLE, Multiple-use, real-life events PRN up to 6x/day Improvement beginning Month 1 and sustained Evidence from placebo-controlled and open label studies suggests that repeated, as- needed administration of fasedienol may be best evaluated using the LSAS, an endpoint that captures clinically meaningful improvements in patients’ everyday lives over time. 1 Study was stopped early for business reasons: not all subjects had the opportunity to complete 12 months of treatment
