Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 28, 2020, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with
Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters, pursuant to which the Company sold to the underwriters in a public offering
(the “Offering”) an aggregate of 80,000,000 units at a public offering price of $0.10 per unit, with each unit consisting
of (i) one share of common stock (the “Common Stock and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase one
share of Common Stock.
The Company entered into a warrant agency agreement (the “Warrant
Agency Agreement”) with its transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, who will act as warrant agent
for the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of the Warrants sold in the Offering. The Warrants have an exercise price
of $0.10, will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of an increase in our authorized shares of common stock or a reverse
split in an amount sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the warrants and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the initial
exercise date.
The Offering closed on October 30, 2020. The Company conducted
the Offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-249550), which was declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”).
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and
the Warrant Agency Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting
Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), and the Warrant Agency
Agreement (including the form of warrant certificate), the form of which was filed as Exhibit 4.10 to the Registration Statement
and both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
On October 28, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing
the pricing of the Offering, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 2, 2020, the Company announced the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the previously announced Debt Settlement and Release Agreement (the “DSRA”) with Molteni
& C. dei F.lli Alitti Società di Esercizio S.p.A and Horizon Credit LLC II, and the Asset Acquisition Agreement with
JT Pharmaceuticals, Inc. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On August 18, 2020, we received a notice from the Nasdaq Capital
Market, or Nasdaq, that because our stockholders’ equity was less than $2.5 million, we were no longer in compliance with
the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter
noted that the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020 reported stockholders’ equity
of $1.56 million. In October 2020, Titan provided a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard,
which plan included the wind down of the Company’s commercial operations, the elimination of outstanding debt to the Company’s
secured lenders and an equity offering. By letter dated October 30, 2020, Nasdaq provided the Company until December 1, 2020 to
regain compliance.
The aggregate net proceeds of the Offering to the Company, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses, were approximately $7.4 million, $1.6 million of which were
used as part of the settlement of approximately $5.2 million of outstanding indebtedness (the “Debt Settlement”) in
accordance with the DSRA. As a result of the closing of the Offering and the Debt Settlement, the Company believes that as of the
date hereof it has regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. Nasdaq will continue to monitor
the Company’s ongoing compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (1) and, if at the time of the Company’s next periodic
report or thereafter it does not evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement or otherwise fails to comply
with Nasdaq’s requirements for continued listing, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list the common stock. Importantly, the Company
is not currently in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing and has until
November 30, 2020 to regain compliance. The Company is seeking stockholder approval of a reverse split that should have
the effect of regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, if approved in a timely manner.
