Prospectus
Supplement DATED February 8, 2021
(to
the Prospectus dated October 28, 2020)
RespireRx
Pharmaceuticals Inc.
This
Prospectus Supplement No. 3 supplements and amends the final prospectus dated October 28, 2020 (as previously supplemented by
Prospectus Supplement Nos. 1 and 2, the “Final Prospectus”) relating to the resale of up to 115,000,000 shares of
our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable to White Lion Capital, LLC (the “Selling
Stockholder”), pursuant to a “put right” under an equity purchase agreement, dated July 28, 2020, as amended,
by and between us and the Selling Stockholder. This Prospectus Supplement No. 3 should be read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus
and is qualified by reference to the Final Prospectus except to the extent that the information in this Prospectus Supplement
No. 3 supersedes the information contained in the Final Prospectus.
On
December 14, 2020, January 5, 2021, and January 20, 2021, we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the attached
Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Our
Common Stock is quoted by the OTCQB Venture Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTCQB”) under the symbol
“RSPI.” On January 5, 2021, the Company effected a ten-to-one reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Split”). The share numbers presented throughout the Final Prospectus
for periods prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split do not reflect the Reverse Split. On February 5, 2021, the closing
price of our Common Stock was $0.037 per share and there were 75,646,039 shares of our Common Stock outstanding, on a post-Reverse
Split basis. Due to the Reverse Split, 115,000,000 shares noted above and in the Final Prospectus now relate to 11,500,000 post-Reverse
Split shares. In most cases, in reading the Final Prospectus the number of shares and per share prices referred to therein, would
be divided by ten and multiplied by ten respectively to understand those numbers on a post-Reverse Split basis. There are 3,600,000
post-Reverse Split shares remaining available for issuance under the Final Prospectus as supplemented by this Prospectus
Supplement No. 3.
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the
heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of the Final Prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or
supplements to the Final Prospectus.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The
date of this Prospectus Supplement No. 3 is February 8, 2021

The
above description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment,

About
RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The
mission of the Company is to develop innovative and revolutionary treatments to combat disorders caused by disruption of neuronal
signaling. We are developing treatment options that address conditions that affect millions of people, but for which there are
limited or poor treatment options, including obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(“ADHD”) epilepsy, chronic pain, including inflammatory and neuropathic pain, recovery from spinal cord injury (“SCI”),
as well as other areas of interest based on results of animal studies to date.
RespireRx
is developing a pipeline of new drug products based on our broad patent portfolios across two distinct drug platforms:
|
(i)
|
ResolutionRx,
our pharmaceutical cannabinoids platform including dronabinol (a synthetic form of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“Δ9-THC”)),
which acts upon the nervous system’s endogenous cannabinoid receptors, and
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
EndeavourRx,
our neuromodulators platform is made up of two programs: (a) our ampakines program, including proprietary compounds that are
positive allosteric modulators (“PAMs”) of AMPA-type glutamate receptors to promote neuronal function and (b)
our GABAkines program, including proprietary compounds that are PAMs of GABAA receptors, which was recently established
pursuant to our entry into a patent license agreement with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Research Foundation, Inc.,
an affiliate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee,
|
Management
believes that there are advantages to separating these platforms formally into newly formed subsidiaries, including but not limited
to optimizing their asset values through separate finance channels and making them more attractive for capital raising as well
as for strategic deal making. The Company is also engaged in a number of business development efforts (licensing/sub-licensing,
joint venture and other commercial structures) with a view to securing strategic partnerships that represent strategic and operational
infrastructure additions, as well as cash and in-kind funding opportunities. These efforts have focused on, but have not been
limited to, transacting with brand and generic pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies as well as companies with potentially
useful formulation or manufacturing capabilities, significant subject matter expertise and financial resources. No assurance can
be given that any transaction will come to fruition and that if it does, that the terms will be favorable to the Company.
Additional
information about the Company and the matters discussed herein can be obtained on the Company’s web-site at www.RespireRx.com
or in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
FirstFire
Note Waiver and Amendment
On
January 13, 2021, RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) and FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund LLC (“FF”)
entered into a Waiver and Amendment (the “FF Amendment”) to that certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated July 2,
2020 (the “FF Note”).
Pursuant
to the FF Amendment, FF waived the following defaults under the FF Note: (i) the Company’s failure to make amortization
payments that were due on each of November 1, 2020, December 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021; (ii) the Company’s failure to
give prior written notice to FF of the January 5, 2021 10-for-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”); (iii) the
Company’s failure to maintain the listing of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common
Stock”) on the OTC QB Venture Market; and (iv) the Company’s failure to give the required prior notice of the record
date of the special meeting of shareholders called to approve the Reverse Split.
In
addition, the FF Amendment amends the schedule of amortization payments under the FF Note such that no amortization payment is
due until February 28, 2021, when $121,000 will be due. The remaining $30,250 will be due on March 1, 2021, unless earlier paid
by FF’s conversion of the FF Note.
The
FF Amendment also amends the FF Note such that no adjustment was made to the conversion price of the FF Note as a result of the
Reverse Split.
The
FF Note was filed by the Company on July 7, 2020 as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under
the terms of the WL Waiver, WL waives the Company’s failure to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the OTC QB Venture
Market. This waiver is effective through and until February 9, 2021. The WL Waiver further provides that, if the Common Stock
is relisted on the OTC QB Venture Market on or before February 9, 2021, the parties agree that no event of default will be deemed

Reports on Form 8-K.

each of November 1, 2020, December 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021;
WHEREAS,
the Parties desire to amend Section 1.10 of the Note such that (i) no amortization payment is due as of November 1, 2020, December
1, 2020, or January 1, 2020, (ii) no amortization payment is due on February 1, 2020, and (iii) an amortization payment of $121,000.00
is due on February 28, 2021 unless earlier paid by the Investor’s conversion of the Note, which conversion would take into
account any amortization amount due and payable.
WHEREAS,
the Company effectuated a 10-for-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) on January 5, 2020 without providing
prior written notice to the Investor, as appropriate; and
WHEREAS,
in consideration of the amendments and waivers set forth herein, the Parties desire to amend Section 1.6(b) of the Note such that
no adjustment to the Conversion Price is made in respect of the Reverse Split.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in the Note and this Waiver and Amendment and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Waivers. The Investor hereby waives (i) Section 1.10 of the Note, solely with respect to the payments due on each of November
1, 2020, December 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021, such that the Company’s failure to make amortization payments on those dates
shall not constitute a breach of any provision under the Note; (ii) Section 1.7 of the Note, such that neither (a) the Company’s
failure to give prior written notice to the Investor of the Reverse Split as required nor (b) the delisting of the Company’s
common stock by the OTC QB Venture Market, and the related cessation of trading on such market, shall trigger an adjustment to
the Conversion Price; (iii) Section 3.14 of the Note, such that the Company’s failure to give required prior written notice
to the Investor of the Reverse Split shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Note and (iv) Section 1.6(b) such that
the Company’s failure to give required prior notice of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve
the Reverse Split shall not constitute a breach of any provision under the Note.
2.

WAIVER
WITH
RESPECT TO
8%
FIXED PROMISSORY NOTE
This
Waiver, dated as of January 13, 2021 (this “Waiver”), is made by White Lion Capital LLC, a Nevada limited liability
company (the “Investor”), in favor of RespireRx Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”
and, together with the Investor, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Note (as defined below).
WHEREAS,
the Company issued to the Investor an 8% Fixed Promissory Note, dated July 28, 2020, as amended by that Amendment No. 1 to 8%
Fixed Promissory Note, dated September 30, 2020 (as amended, the “Note”);
WHEREAS,
on December 11, 2020, the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) was delisted by the OTC QB Venture Market
due to the Company’s failure to meet minimum listing requirements;
WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 3(a)(xi) of the Note, such delisting constitutes an Event of Default under the Note;
WHEREAS,
in order for the Common Stock to recommence trading on the OTC QB Venture Market, the Common Stock must maintain a closing bid
price of at least $0.01 for 30 consecutive calendar days, and to increase the likelihood of meeting this standard, the Company
effectuated a 10-for-1 reverse stock split on January 5, 2020; and
WHEREAS,
the Company has requested that the Investor waive the Event of Default triggered by the delisting of its Common Stock until February
9, 2021.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Waiver. The Investor hereby waives the Event of Default set forth in Section 3(a)(xi) of the Note through and until February
9, 2021, such that the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Note until
such date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company’s Common Stock is relisted on the OTC QB Venture Market on or prior
to February 9, 2021, the Parties agree that no Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to the previous delisting.
2.
No Other Modifications. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Waiver will be deemed or construed
to amend, supplement, or modify the Note or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of any party thereto, or any other arrangement
between or among the Parties, all of which remain in full force and effect.
3.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
This Waiver shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of Delaware
without giving effect to any conflict of laws rule or principle that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b)
This Waiver shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the Parties and each of their respective successors and
assigns.
(c)
This Waiver may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which constitutes one and the same
agreement.
(d)
This Waiver constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect
to such subject matter.
