Item 1.01.           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective October 15, 2009, Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “Adeona” or “we” or “our”) completed its reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada. The reincorporation was effected by the merger of Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adeona Delaware”) with and into a newly created, wholly owned Nevada subsidiary corporation (“Adeona Nevada”), in accordance with the terms of the agreement and plan of merger dated as of October 13, 2009, between Adeona Delaware and Adeona Nevada. The reincorporation and the terms of the merger were approved by the shareholders of Adeona Delaware at the annual meeting of Adeona Delaware’s shareholders held on June 3, 2008.

In the reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of Adeona Delaware was automatically converted into one share of Adeona Nevada common stock and all options and other rights to acquire Adeona Delaware common stock outstanding immediately prior to the reincorporation were automatically converted into options and rights to acquire the same number of shares of Adeona Nevada common stock. Shareholders are not required to exchange their existing stock certificates of Adeona Delaware, which now represent the same number of shares of Adeona Nevada. Outstanding shares of Adeona Nevada common stock retain the same CUSIP number as the corresponding shares of Adeona Delaware prior to the reincorporation, and Adeona Nevada common stock continues to be listed on the American Stock Exchange under the same symbol, “AEN”.  The reincorporation did not result in any material changes in our business, offices, assets, liabilities, obligations or net worth, or our directors, officers or employees, and Adeona Delaware ceased to exist as a separate legal entity.  We continue to maintain our principal executive offices at 3930 Varsity Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106.

As a result of the reincorporation and by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Adeona Nevada is the successor issuer to Adeona Delaware and has succeeded to the attributes of Adeona Delaware as the registrant. Adeona Nevada common stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and Adeona Nevada is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and will hereafter file reports and other information with the SEC.

A copy of the agreement and plan of merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1.  A copy of the articles of merger filed with the State of Nevada is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.  A copy of the certificate of merger filed with the State of Delaware is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.

Item 5.03           Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

In connection with our reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada as disclosed under Item 1.01 above, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Adeona Delaware are now our new governing charter documents. For a description of the differences between the rights of holders of Adeona Delaware common stock and Adeona Nevada common stock, see the discussion under the heading “Proposal Three—Reincorporation in Nevada” in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, Adeona Delaware filed with the SEC on April 29, 2008.

Copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Adeona Nevada are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.3 and 3.4, respectively.
