Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
On December 7, 2005, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) sold 365,791 shares of its common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell”) under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement dated September 28, 2005 (“the Agreement”) currently in effect, for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000, or $1.3669 per share. The per share price was the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on November 29, 2005 which was the lowest average price during the five trading days following the draw-down notice to Cornell, as set forth in the Agreement. In connection with the issuance, the Company paid Cornell a fee of $25,000 and Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC a fee of $500. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, because the shares were issued to a sophisticated entity in a private transaction.
