Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2025, Celcuity Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Leerink Partners LLC as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”) agreeing, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering (i) 1,836,842 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share ( “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $38.00 per Share and (b) in lieu of Shares to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at a price to the public of $37.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Offering”). In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 335,526 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”), less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters exercised their option to purchase the Option Shares in full on July 30, 2025. The Offering was completed on July 31, 2025.

The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $91.6 million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their option in full to purchase the Option Shares. The Company may also receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, commercial launch expenditures, expansion of business development activities and other general corporate purposes.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, or alternatively, at the election of each holder, shares of Common Stock may be issued through a cashless exercise, with the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. A holder (together with its “attribution parties,” as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if immediately after exercise, the holder (together with its attribution parties), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. However, a holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, which increase or decrease shall not become effective until 61 days after notice from the holder to us.

The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company, the registration statement and the Prospectus Supplement in the Underwriting Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by such parties.

The Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated July 30, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 31, 2025 and an accompanying base prospectus that forms a part of the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281887), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 2, 2024. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Shares, the Option Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete descriptions of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Pre-Funded Warrant that are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the opinion of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, relating to the validity of the Shares, the Option Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with the Offering, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On July 30, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that it priced the Offering and the previously announced concurrent notes offering to issue and sell $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031. A copy of this press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
