Other Events

On October 3, 2022, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that following the recently announced halting of the Company’s Phase 2/3 clinical trial examining the effects of Tempol in high risk subjects with early COVID-19 infection, it has initiated a process to explore a range of strategic and financing alternatives focused on maximizing stockholder value. Potential alternatives that may be explored or evaluated include a partnership regarding or sale of one or both of the Company’s commercial products SYMJEPI^® and ZIMHI^®, a merger, sale, or reverse merger of the Company, and/or seeking additional financing. As part of this process, the Company has engaged the investment bank Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to act as strategic advisor to assist the Company in evaluating certain alternatives. There can be no assurance regarding the schedule for completion of the strategic review process, that this strategic review process will result in the Company pursuing any transaction or that any transaction, if pursued, will be completed. The Company is also reviewing and intends to pursue expense reduction alternatives and measures which may include, without limitation, employee headcount reductions and reduction or discontinuation of certain product development programs.

A copy of the Company’s press release is filed with this Report as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, and the press release filed as an exhibit with this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingencies, goals, targets or future development and/or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. These statements relate to future events or future results of operations, including, but not limited to statements concerning the following matters: the Company’s review and evaluation of potential strategic alternatives and their impact on stockholder value; the process by which the Company engages in evaluation of strategic alternatives; the Company’s ability to identify potential buyers or partners for one or both the Company’s commercial products; the Company’s ability to identify potential merger or acquisition partners; the Company’s ability to raise capital to continue as a going concern; the possibility that the Company may be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives for restructuring and resolving its liabilities; the terms, timing, structure, benefits and costs of any strategic transaction and whether one will be consummated at all; and the impact of any strategic transaction on the Company. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause Adamis’ actual results to be materially different from the results anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s current expectations include those risks and uncertainties relating to: our ability to raise capital; the results of our strategic review process; our revenues, cash flow, cash burn, expenses, obligations and liabilities, and ability to pay expenses and satisfy obligations as they become due; the interest of third parties in entering into a merger, reverse merger, or other strategic transaction with the Company or in purchasing or entering into a partnership regarding one or more of our commercial products; any impact of this evaluation process on the sale of the Company’s commercial products; the outcomes of any litigation, regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations that we are or may become subject to; the timing and results of our efforts to sell assets relating to our former compounding pharmacy business; and other important factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, forward-looking statements concerning our anticipated future activities assume that we have sufficient funding to support such activities and continue our operations and planned activities, which may not be the case. If we are unable to timely complete a transaction or we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding or obtain required funding from other sources or transactions, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations or satisfy our liabilities, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives to attempt to resolve our obligations and liabilities, which could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or release publicly the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release. Certain of these risks and additional risks, uncertainties, and other factors are described in greater detail in Adamis’ filings from time to time with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and subsequent filings with the SEC, which Adamis strongly urges you to read and consider, all of which are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
