Explanatory
Note
This
Amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) on April
11, 2018 (the “Original Form 8-K”) (i) to correct the dates upon which the Notes were entered into, April 10, 2018
and April 11, 2018 as opposed to April 9, 2018, and (ii) to correctly indicate that the value of the options awarded to the service
provider was larger than, not equal to, the amount forgiven. These corrected details are included in the body of the text below,
which otherwise restates for clarity the language in the Original Form 8-K.
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
April 5, 2018, The Board of Directors of RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) approved borrowings of $50,000
from each of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, James S. Manuso, Ph.D., who is a director and significant
shareholder of the Company, and the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer, Arnold S. Lippa, Ph.D., who
is also a director and significant shareholder of the Company, and the issuance to each of them of demand promissory notes in
the principal amount of $50,000 (each a “Note” and together, the “Notes”). Each of Dr. Lippa and Dr. Manuso
loaned the Company $50,000 in return for a Note issued on April 10, 2018, in the case of Dr. Lippa, and April 11, 2018, in the
case of Dr. Manuso. The proceeds of the loans will be used for general corporate purposes.
Each
Note will be payable on demand and bear interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum, with any accrued but unpaid interest added
to principal at the end of each year that the balance is outstanding.
Each
Note is subject to a mandatory exchange provision that provides that the principal amount of the Note will be mandatorily exchanged
into a board approved offering of the Company’s securities, if such offering holds its first closing on or before June 30,
2018 and the amount of proceeds from such first closing is at least $150,000, not including the principal amounts of the Notes
that would be exchanged, or $250,000 including the principal amounts of such Notes. Upon such exchange, the Notes would be deemed
repaid and terminated. Any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding at the time of such exchange will be (i) repaid to the Note
holder or (ii) invested in the offering, at the Note holder’s election.
This
description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each Note, a form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The
information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.
Award
of Common Stock Options
On
April 5, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) acting at a meeting of the Board awarded non-qualified
options to purchase 185,338 shares of Common Stock of the Company to Robert N. Weingarten, a former director and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company who resigned in February 2017. Concurrently with this award, Mr. Weingarten, forgave the remaining amount
due to him of accrued compensation, with the same value as the black-scholes value of the options awarded, $200,350. On December
9, 2017, Mr. Weingarten was previously granted options to purchase 138,842 shares of common stock, as previously reported by the
Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K. An additional 125,000 options were awarded to one of the Company’s service providers.
Concurrently with these awards, the service provider forgave $124,025 owed by the Company; the black-scholes value of the options
awarded was approximately $135,000. The awarded options vested upon issuance and expire on April 5, 2028. The exercise price of
the options of $1.12 per share is the closing market price of shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the date of issuance.
The foregoing description of the options awarded does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the Form of Non-Statutory Stock Option Award Agreement under the 2015 Plan, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 8, 2015, and which is incorporated herein by reference,
as supplemented by the Addendum attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 14,
2017, which is also incorporated herein by reference.
EXHIBIT
INDEX

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
