Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 11, 2010, Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 and a Registration Statement on Form S-1 pursuant to the Company’s pre-existing contractual obligations.

The Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 was filed with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that were previously issued in connection with registered direct offerings pursuant to four Prospectus Supplements, dated February 12, 2007, July 24, 2009, January 11, 2010 and January 21, 2010, initially registered by the registrant pursuant to a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-140034) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 12, 2007. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1 was filed to convert such Registration Statement on Form S-3 into a Registration Statement on Form S-1.

The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed with respect to the shares of common stock that it may issue to Kingsbridge Capital Limited (“Kingsbridge”) pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement between Kingsbridge and the Company dated December 10, 2007, as amended on November 24, 2009, and shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued upon exercise of an amended and restated warrant that the Company issued to Kingsbridge on November 24, 2009, all of which were initially registered on Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-147997) and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December 20, 2007. On May 27, 2010, the Company filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to such Registration Statement, but subsequently withdrew it on June 11, 2010. The Registration Statement on Form S-1 was thus filed in lieu of such post-effective amendment that was withdrawn on June 11, 2010.
