Item 8.01. Other Events

As announced on August 21, 2020, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Enzon”) continues to anticipate that it will commence a rights offering, whereby it will distribute one transferable subscription right for each outstanding share of common stock owned, and that for every 1,105 subscription rights held, a shareholder will be entitled to purchase one unit, consisting of shares of common stock and preferred stock.

The terms of the preferred stock underlying each unit are currently expected to be consistent with those set forth in the Company’s August 21, 2020 press release. In addition, the Company expects that the preferred stock will not be redeemable by the Company during the first 24 months following issuance.

The Company continues to intend to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register the issuance of the rights and the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights as soon as possible, and to issue the rights promptly following the effective date of the registration statement. The Company plans to include additional information regarding the rights offering, including the record date and subscription period, in the registration statement.

The Company is continuing discussions with two of its stockholders and believes that at least one of them is prepared to purchase all unsubscribed units, but neither has made any binding commitment to do so. Such agreement may or may not include provisions for representation on the board of directors as the Company has had discussions regarding possible shareholder rights and board representation.

As of the date of this report, the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party with respect to the rights offering, and the terms of the rights offering are subject to change in the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

This report does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described above, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale, nor shall there be any sale of such securities of Enzon in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
