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 June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 2024 Form 10-Q”). The Company is unable to file the Q2 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, the year ended December 31, 2023 and the quarter ended March 31, 2024 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 June 30, 2024. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to complete the preparation and filing of the Q2 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. On May 20, 2024, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq advising the Company that it had initiated a process to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq because the Company had not filed the Q3 2023 Form 10-Q or the 2023 Form 10-K by May 13, 2024. The notice further advised the Company that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Form 10-Q” and, together with the Q3 2023 Form 10-Q, the 2023 Form 10-K and the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q, the “Delayed Reports”) serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting. The Company’s failure to timely file the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is also not in compliance with the Rule.

On May 28, 2024, the Company requested a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On June 26, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Panel had granted a stay of the suspension of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq subject to the Panel’s final determination regarding the Company’s listing status. The Company's hearing with the Panel was held on July 11, 2024, following which, on August 1, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Panel has granted the Company’s request for the continued listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the following: (1) on or before September 30, 2024 (the “First Compliance Date”), the Company will have filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, (2) on or before October 31, 2024 (the “Second Compliance Date” and, together with the First Compliance Date, the “Compliance Dates”), the Company will have filed the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q and the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q, and (3) on or before the Second Compliance Date, the Company will have demonstrated compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

The Company is working to prepare and file the Delayed Reports with the SEC by the applicable Compliance Dates to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. In this regard, the Company is planning to file with the SEC a comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K, including restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the period ended June 30, 2023, unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the period ended September 30, 2023 and audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2023 by the First Compliance Date, and separate Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 by the Second Compliance Date.

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 such reports.

The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of its decision based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council could determine to review the Panel’s decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of such decision, and may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Panel.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to prepare and file the Delayed Reports on or before the applicable Compliance Dates or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule or maintain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq or that the Company will be able to continue the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq.
