| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 16, 2024, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Second Amendment to the Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amends the Section 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2020 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. Effective June 2, 2021, the Company amended the Rights Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to extend the Final Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on August 13, 2021 to the close of business on June 2, 2024. The Second Amendment further extends the Final Expiration Date to the close of business on March 31, 2025. Except for the extension of the Final Expiration Date, the Rights Agreement otherwise remains unmodified.
The Second Amendment has been adopted because the Company’s management believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to extend the Final Expiration Date of June 2, 2024, as established in the First Amendment.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Rights Agreement, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2020, the First Amendment, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 8, 2021, and the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
