DRAFT #1

The Female Health Company to Present at the

2^nd Annual Cantor Fitzgerald Healthcare Conference on

Wednesday, July 13, 2016

CHICAGO – July 6, 2016 – The Female Health Company (FHC) (NASDAQ-CM: FHCO), manufacturer of the world’s leading female condom, the FC2, today announced that it will be presenting at Cantor Fitzgerald’s 2^nd Annual Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, July 13, 2016. The conference, which will be held at the Le Parker Meridien Hotel located at 119 W. 56^th Street, New York, NY, will feature more than 75 companies in healthcare.

Investors and analysts that are attending the conference may request a one-on-one meeting through the conference organizers at http://www.meetmax.com/sched/event_37633/investor_reg_new.html?attendee_role_id=INVESTOR

FHC previously announced a definitive merger agreement with Aspen Park Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (APP). O.B. Parrish, Chief Executive Officer of FHC, and Mitch Steiner, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of APP, will present an overview of the transaction and provide highlights of the combined company at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).

FHC believes that the proposed transaction with APP provides an extraordinary opportunity to establish a new company with the potential to enhance both short-term and long-term stockholder value. The new company will have multiple products that provide opportunities for growth, while mitigating the risk associated with FHC being a single product company. The new company will include a women’s health division, that will focus on expanding FHC’s existing, profitable business, while beginning development of newly acquired oncology assets for breast and ovarian cancer, and a men’s health division, focused on the areas of benign prostatic hyperplasia, male infertility, hot flashes in men on prostate cancer therapy, gout and advanced prostate cancer, together with consumer health products for premature ejaculation and sexual health vitamin supplements. Following the business combination, the Company will be renamed Veru Healthcare Inc.
