Item 6.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, a corporation may include provisions in its certificate of incorporation that will relieve
its directors of monetary liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain circumstances,
including a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an improper payment of a dividend or an improper purchase
by the corporation of stock or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director with certain limited exceptions set forth in the DGCL.
Section 145 of the
DGCL grants to corporations the power to indemnify each officer and director against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was an officer or director of the corporation if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of each officer and director of the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL also empowers corporations to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was an officer or director of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by
him in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such officer or director against such
liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.

Amendment to the Fortress Biotech, Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan., filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Registrant’s Form 8-K on June 19, 2020 and incorporated herein by reference.
|
(a) The
Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the Company pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The
undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on November 9, 2020.
