Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.
On September 14, 2020, Titan Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“Titan” or the “Company”) provided the attached update on the upcoming special meeting of stockholders
(the “Meeting”) in response to recent stockholder inquiries regarding the number of meeting adjournments. The sole
purpose of the Meeting is to seek approval of a proposal to amend Titan's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock.
Without approval of the share increase,
the several strategic alternatives management has been exploring with the Company’s bankers will not be possible. The failure
to obtain stockholder approval will almost certainly result in the cessation of Titan’s operations and likely a total loss
of value to stockholders, given the pledge of all of the Company’s assets as security for its outstanding debt.
As of the close of business on September 11, 2020, approximately
30.7 million shares (28.3% of the record date shares) had not yet been voted. Of those shares that were voted, approximately 72%
were in favor of the amendment proposal. The affirmative vote of holders of only 1,251,207 shares (less than 1.5% of the record
date shares) are now needed to file the amendment and effect the authorized share increase.
The resumed meeting on Friday, September 18, 2020, at 1:00 p.m.
Pacific Standard Time can be attended using the same access information that was used initially for the Special Meeting, the details
of which are set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement we filed with the SEC on May 22, 2020. The fastest and easiest way to
vote is to call 866-619-4651 and speak with a proxy voting specialist Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Item 8.01. Other Events
The information set forth above in Item 5.07 is hereby incorporated
by reference in its entirety.
