Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Pernix”) on February 27, 2015 (the “Current Report”). This Amendment is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting an error by our financial printing vendor.  In the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report (the “Press Release”), in which Pernix announced financial results for its year ended December 31, 2014 and certain other information, the financial table reconciling the GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted Net Income was duplicated under the header of "GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation Table" in error.  This error occurred upon document conversion by our financial printer to EDGAR.  The actual Press Release issued by Pernix was correct.  The correct Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment.

The information provided in the Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, is intended to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Pernix is also disclosing that it may use its website, pernitx.com, as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.
