Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.
On December 30, 2020, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
“Company”) was unable to convene its scheduled annual meeting of
stockholders because it had not received a sufficient number of
votes to form a quorum (>50% of outstanding shares) to take
action under Delaware law and the Company’s bylaws. The annual
meeting has been rescheduled for 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard
Time on January 8, 2021 in order to provide additional time to
obtain the votes required to reach a quorum. The Company has
received votes from approximately 48% of the shares outstanding on
the November 18, 2020 record date and needs only an additional
approximately 2% to convene the meeting.
The annual meeting can be attended by stockholders using the same
access information set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
November 25, 2020.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The information set forth in Item 5.07 is incorporated herein by
reference.
