Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 18, 2019, Titan
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute
on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has approved approximately $6.1 million in second-year funding for the Company’s non-clinical
development of a ProNeura™ based six-month implantable formulation of Nalmefene, an opioid antagonist, intended for the
prevention of relapse to opioid addiction following opioid detoxification. NIDA awarded the Company a two-year grant in the
amount of $6.7 million in September 2018 for the project, subject to satisfactory project progress, fund availability and
certain other conditions. The award for the first year, which ended August 31, 2019, was approximately $2.7 million. As a
result of a change in the grant award terms regarding company matching funds, the second-year award covers both the federal
and company match amounts of the original year two award, thereby increasing the aggregate potential expense reimbursement to
approximately $8.7 million.
A copy of the press release is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
