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

A special meeting of the stockholders of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Special Meeting”) was scheduled for June 30, 2020, for the sole purpose of seeking approval of a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (the “Amendment”). Every stockholder vote is important and in order to allow for additional voting on the Amendment, the Chairman determined, in his discretion, to adjourn the Special Meeting until Thursday, July 16, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

The Amendment requires the favorable vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of May 22, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, there were 95,660,355 shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of holders of at least 47,830,178 shares is necessary to implement the Amendment.

We recently announced a co-promotion partnership for commercialization of our Probuphine® (buprenorphine) implant that focuses on countrywide multichannel digital marketing programs to rapidly expand product awareness and help increase the use of Probuphine for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder in eligible patients. While our partner will bear the bulk of the expenses for this program, we are committed to providing a portion of the funds during the first two years. As previously disclosed, our current cash resources are only sufficient to fund our operations through the third quarter of this year and we have only about 5 million authorized shares remaining, which is insufficient to undertake the financings necessary to fund our operations beyond the next three months. Approval of the Amendment is critical to enable us to continue our commercial operations to expand sales of Probuphine® and fund other product development efforts over the next few years.

The resumed meeting can be attended using the same access information that was used initially for the Special Meeting, the details of which are set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement we filed with the SEC on May 25, 2020. The fastest and easiest way to vote is to call 866-619-4651 and speak with a proxy voting specialist Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
