Represents shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") that were added
to the shares authorized for issuance under the Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Compensation
Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), on January 2, 2020 pursuant to an "evergreen" provision contained in the Plan.
Pursuant to such provision, as of the first trading day of January of each year, the number of shares authorized for issuance under

416 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement shall also cover any
additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization
or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding
shares of the Registrant.
