Item 8.01    Other Events.

On August 21, 2014, Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the data analysis of the STEP Study would be delayed due to the discovery by the independent Clinical Research Organization (the “CRO”) that the study drugs (both Ampion and the placebo) were, during shipment to the clinical sites, exposed to lower temperatures than permitted by the drug specifications. During the review of all documentation following the unblinding of the STEP Study, the CRO determined that there were multiple instances where the in-package temperature monitor had recorded temperatures significantly below the minimum requirement. The Company is pursuing alternative solutions to meet the requirements for filing a Biologic License Application for Ampion including using data from the Multiple Injection Study which is currently underway.
