Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 22, 2018, Apricus Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a subscription agreement amendment (the “Subscription Agreement Amendment”) with Sarissa Capital Domestic Fund LP (“Sarissa Domestic”) and Sarissa Capital Offshore Master Fund LP (“Sarissa Offshore” together with Sarissa Domestic, the “Investors”), which, among other things, removed the Investor’s preemptive rights with respect to future issuances of the Company's equity securities.

Concurrently with the Subscription Agreement Amendment, the Company entered into a warrant amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) with Sarissa Offshore regarding the Company’s warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), issued in February 2015 (the “February 2015 Warrants”) and January 2016 (together with the February 2015 Warrants, the “Warrants”), pursuant to which the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced from $0.71 to $0.42 per share.

The foregoing summaries of the Warrant Amendment and the Subscription Agreement Amendment are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Warrant Amendment and the Subscription Agreement Amendment, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

To the extent required by Item 3.02 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Warrant Amendment set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.

The shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
