PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Form 10-Q”). The Company is unable to file the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense primarily due to the circumstances described below.

As previously disclosed, the Company intends to restate its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the review and preparation of which are currently ongoing. In addition, the Company’s review and preparation of its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2023 remain ongoing. Due to the time and effort devoted to these matters, the Company is delayed in its reporting and review process for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to complete the preparation and filing of the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date or within the extended time period permitted by Rule 12b-25.

As previously disclosed, on November 27, 2023, the Company received a delinquency notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that due to the failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Q3 2023 Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, following timely submission by the Company of a compliance plan, Nasdaq granted the Company until May 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the Rule. On April 8, 2024, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq advising the Company that due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), the Company is not in compliance with the Rule, and the Company’s failure to timely file the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is also not in compliance with the Rule. As the Company is not filing its Q3 2023 Form 10-Q or the 2023 Form 10-K by the May 13, 2024 extension deadline, the Company expects that Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. Following receipt of such a delisting notice, the Company may request a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The hearing request would automatically stay any suspension or delisting action for 22 calendar days from the date of the delisting notification. In connection with the hearing request, the Company may request that the stay be extended through the conclusion of the hearings process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. There can be no assurance that any hearing would be successful, that an extended stay or additional extension would be granted, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule or maintain compliance with the other continued listing requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules or that the Company will be able to continue its listing on Nasdaq.

In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company has identified ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. The Company is continuing to evaluate its internal control over financial reporting and expects to report its remediation plan and further information regarding the material weaknesses in its 2023 Form 10-K.

This Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and other securities law. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words and phrases such as “anticipated,” “forward,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “intend,” “remain,” “potential,” “prepare,” “expected,” “believe,” “plan,” “seek,” “continue,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and related remediation, the expected restatement of financial statements, the time and effort required to complete the Company’s financial statements, expectations with respect to filings with the SEC and the timing and content thereof, the Company’s expectations regarding its financial results, the Company’s expectations regarding the receipt of delisting notification from Nasdaq, the potential to obtain any additional extensions or stays from Nasdaq, and the Company’s ability to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules or continue its listing on Nasdaq and the outcome of any hearing process. All of such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the completion of the review and preparation of the Company’s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and the timing thereof; the discovery of additional information; further delays in the Company’s financial reporting, including as a result of unanticipated factors; the Company’s ability to comply with its obligations under its credit agreement; the possibility that the Company will be unable to regain compliance with, or thereafter continue to comply with, the Nasdaq Listing Rules, or experience violations of additional Nasdaq Listing Rules; the possibility that Nasdaq may delist the Company’s securities; the Company’s ability to remediate material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; the Company’s ability to recruit and hire a new Chief Executive Officer and new Chief Financial Officer; the ability of the Company to realize the anticipated benefits of its plan designed to improve operational efficiencies and realign its sales and marketing expenditures and the potential impacts thereof; the impacts of the post- COVID-19 environment and geopolitical factors such as the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Hamas and Israel; delay in or failure to obtain regulatory approval of the Company’s or its partners’ product candidates and successful compliance with Federal Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency and other governmental regulations applicable to product approvals; changes in the regulatory environment; the uncertainties and timing of the regulatory approval process; whether the Company can successfully market and commercialize its products; the success of the Company's relationships with its partners; the outcome of litigation; the strength and enforceability of the Company’s intellectual property rights or the rights of third parties; competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and competition from generic entrants into the market; unexpected safety or efficacy data observed during clinical trials; clinical trial site activation or enrollment rates that are lower than expected; the risks inherent in drug development and in conducting clinical trials; risks inherent in estimates or judgments relating to the Company’s critical accounting policies, or any of the Company’s estimates or projections, which may prove to be inaccurate; unanticipated factors in addition to the foregoing that may impact the Company’s financial and business projections and guidance and may cause the Company’s actual results and outcomes to materially differ from its estimates, projections and guidance; and those risks and uncertainties identified in the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 9, 2023, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2023, and its subsequent filings with the SEC.
