Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 30, 2016, Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") notified the Food and Drug Adminstration (the "FDA") that it was discontinuing Suprenza, its FDA-approved phentermine-based product for weight loss.

 

The Company previously entered into an agreement with Prenzamax LLC ("Penzamax") and Akrimax Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Akrimax"), dated as of November 15, 2011, pursuant to which the Company granted Prenzamax an exclusive, royalty-bearing, transferable license to use, manufacture, and sell Suprenza in the United States (the "Agreement"). As a result of the discontinuation of Suprenza and notification to the FDA, the Company gave notice to Prenzamax and Akrimax that the parties must cease all shipments of Suprenza under the Agreement, effective as of June 30, 2016. Prenzamax and Akrimax will no longer be responsible for the marketing and commercialization of Suprenza, and the parties will have no further payment obligations under the Agreement, except with respect to payments that accrued prior to the effective date of the termination. The Company has not previously received royalties from the product and upon discontinuation of Suprenza will eliminate the ongoing regulatory expense associated with annual FDA fees.

 

The co-founder and Vice Chairman of Akrimax is Leonard Mazur, the Executive Chairman and Secretary and a director of the Company. Prenzamax is an affiliate of Akrimax and was formed for the purpose of managing the license granted pursuant to the Agreement.

 

The Company issued a press release dated July 1, 2016, announcing discontinuation of Suprenza. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
