Item  5.07. 
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On April 5, 2012, Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering a proposal to authorize an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 350,000,000 to 600,000,000 (the “Charter Amendment”).  To be approved, the proposal required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of (i) the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock voting together as a single class, and (ii) the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) voting as a separate class.  As of February 13, 2012, the record date for the special meeting, there were 21,873,938 shares of Common Stock, 412,562 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and 116,826 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote.   For purposes of class voting, the Company’s stockholders were entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock, approximately 154.3 votes for each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and approximately 336.3 votes for each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock held as of the record date.  The voting results with respect to the proposal to approve the Charter Amendment are set forth below.

Pursuant to the foregoing votes, the proposal to authorize the Charter Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Following receipt of stockholder approval at the special meeting, the Company effected the Charter Amendment by filing a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware on April 5, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As described in more detail in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein, by effecting the Charter Amendment on or before July 9, 2012, the terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and any shares of the Company’s Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”) that may be issued in the future pursuant to an Investment Agreement dated January 9, 2012 (the “Investment Agreement”), will remain more Company-favorable than the adjusted terms that would have taken effect after July 9, 2012 if the Charter Amendment had not yet been effected.  In addition, while the Company did not previously have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion of the entire 600,000 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock that are issuable under the Investment Agreement, the increase in the number of authorized shares pursuant to the Charter Amendment will allow the Company to fully satisfy the conversion rights of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock.
