Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 3, 2016, Capstone Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: CAPS) and its joint venture affiliate, LipimetiX Development, Inc., entered into a material transfer agreement with a leading pharmaceutical company pursuant to which LipimetiX will provide samples of AEM-28-14 for preclinical evaluation. AEM-28-14 is a patented, synthetic peptide for which LipimetiX holds an exclusive license and which is the joint venture's principal drug candidate.

No license, partnering or other similar arrangements have been entered into in connection with this material transfer agreement, and there is no assurance that any such arrangement will be entered into in the future, whether in respect of all or any portion of the potential indications for which AEM-28-14 might have therapeutic value.

The development of drugs for human use is subject to many significant risks and uncertainties, including those described under "Risk Factors" in Capstone's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2015.
