Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Enzon”) previously announced that it commenced a rights offering, pursuant to which holders of Enzon’s common stock received one transferable subscription right for each share of common stock owned. For every 1,105 subscription rights held, stockholders were entitled to purchase one unit at the subscription price of $1,090 per unit, representing expected gross proceeds of $43.6 million from the sale of all 40,000 units. Each unit consisted of one share of newly designated Series C preferred stock and 750 shares of Enzon’s common stock, all as described in the registration statement on Form S-1 (as amended) and related prospectus, filed by Enzon with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company also previously disclosed that it entered into an investment agreement with Icahn Capital LP, which, together with its affiliates, beneficially owned approximately 15% of Enzon’s common stock before giving effect to the previously disclosed rights offering conducted by the Company. Pursuant to the rights offering, Icahn Capital LP, together with its affiliates, subscribed for 5,971units (its pro-rata share of the rights offering) representing the purchase of 4,478,250 shares of common stock and 5,971 shares of Series C preferred stock). In addition, Icahn Capital LP also agreed to purchase all units that remained unsubscribed for at the expiration of the rights offering to the extent that other holders elected not to exercise all of their respective subscription rights (the “Investment Units”), which totaled 33,306 Investment Units representing the purchase of 24,979,500 shares of common stock and 33,306 shares of Series C preferred stock.

The offer and sale of Investment Units, including the underlying shares of common stock and Series C preferred stock, to Icahn Capital LP pursuant to the Investment Agreement were effectuated in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Item 8.01 Other Events

In connection with the completion of the rights offering, 6,694 units were purchased by stockholders pursuant to the basic subscription privileges and 33,306 Investment Units were purchased. Following completion of the rights offering, the Company has outstanding 40,000 shares of Series C preferred stock and 74,214,603 shares of common stock.
