Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
As a result of the Company’s successful completion of its registered direct public offering on June 21, 2011, the Company’s shelf registration was fully utilized.  Consistent with corporate practice to have access to the economic benefits of a standing shelf registration, on July 15, 2011 Pharmacyclics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register securities not to exceed an initial aggregate offering price of $150,000,000.  The new shelf registration, once declared effective, will be valid for a period of three years.  Under the new shelf registration, the Company will have the flexibility to issue and sell a variety of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units, or any combination of the foregoing, and it is intended to enable the Company to react to market opportunities as they arise from time to time as the Company shall determine.  
 
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective.  The securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.  Any offering of securities will only be made pursuant to a properly disseminated prospectus supplement.  This filing shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
