Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations.
On January 4, 2024, the Board of Directors of Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Citius”) determined that the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held on March 12, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. EST. The Board of Directors established the close of business on January 19, 2024, as the record date for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. We will provide additional details regarding the location and matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the Annual Meeting.
Since the Annual Meeting will take place more than 30 days following the anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we are providing the updated due dates for submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or qualified stockholder director nominations. Stockholders of Citius who wish to have a proposal or nomination considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal or nomination is received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office at 11 Commerce Drive, 1st Floor, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, on or before the close of business on January 16, 2024, which we have determined to be a reasonable time before we expect to begin printing and sending our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Exchange Act. Any such proposal or nomination must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.
In addition, in accordance with the requirements contained in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), stockholders of Citius who wish to bring business before the Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal or nomination (including all information specified in the Bylaws) is received by the Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on January 16, 2024. Any such proposal or nomination must meet the requirements set forth in our Bylaws in order to be brought before the Annual Meeting.
In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than 10 calendar days following the date of this current report on Form 8-K.
