Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 14, 2020, Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Citius" or the "Company") entered into a warrant exercise agreement with several existing accredited investors to exercise certain warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,712,218 shares of common stock having an existing exercise price of $0.77 and 2,586,455 shares of common stock at a reduced exercise price of $1.02.

Of the warrants being exercised, 3,712,218 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-233759), 2,135,923 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230919) and 450,532 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224386). The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the warrants are expected to be approximately $5.5 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

In consideration for the immediate exercise of the warrants for cash, the exercising holders will receive new unregistered warrants to purchase shares of common stock in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The warrants will be exercisable into an aggregate of up to 6,298,673 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1.02 per share, exercisable commencing six months following the issuance and which have a term of exercise equal to five years.

Citius intends to use the net proceeds from the offering as working capital for general business purposes. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place on February 19, 2020, and is subject to certain closing conditions.

  

Item 3.02.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. The new warrants described in Item 1.01 above were offered in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and, along with the shares of common stock issuable upon their exercise, have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The securities were offered only to accredited investors. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrants.

This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
