Item 5.03.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 19, 2010, the Board of Directors of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") authorized an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") to adjust the timeliness requirement for notice of stockholder business proposals and nominations of directors at annual meetings of stockholders.

The Amendment provides that, in order to be timely, stockholder notices must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day, but not later than the 90th day, prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting. Previously, the Bylaws provided that, in order to be timely, stockholder notices must be delivered not earlier than the 150th day, but not later than the 112th day, prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting.

As a result of the Amendment, stockholder notices in connection with the Company's 2010 annual meeting of stockholders must be delivered to the Company not later than February 20, 2010 and in accordance with the procedures established in the Bylaws.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is a general description only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment. A copy of the Bylaws as currently in effect is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.

Every meeting of the Stockholders shall be held at the office of the Corporation or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notice of such meeting or in the waiver of notice hereof.

Section 2.2 Annual Meeting.

A meeting of Stockholders shall be held annually for the election of directors or the transaction of other business at such hour and on such business day as may be determined by the Board and designated in the notice of meeting.

Section 2.3 Deferred Meeting for Election of Directors, Etc.

If the annual meeting of Stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of other business is not held on the date fixed in Section 2.2, the Board shall call a meeting of Stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of other business as soon thereafter as convenient.

Section 2.4 Other Special Meetings.

A special meeting of Stockholders (other than a special meeting for the election of directors), unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Board or by the President or by the Secretary. At any special meeting of Stockholders only such business may be transacted which is related to the purpose or purposes of such meeting set forth in the notice thereof given pursuant to Section 2.6 of the By-laws or in any waiver of notice thereof given pursuant to Section 2.7 of the By-laws.

Section 2.5 Fixing Record Date.

For the purpose of determining the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining Stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful

action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of Stockholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty nor less then ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action.

Section 2.5.1 If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

Section 2.5.2 Without limiting the foregoing, in order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the Resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. Any Stockholder of record seeking to have the Stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board to fix a record date. The Board shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of Stockholders meetings are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 2.5.3 The record date for determining Stockholders for any purpose other than that specified in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

When a determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 2.5 such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.6 Notice of Meeting of Stockholders.

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.5 and 2.7 of the By-laws, whenever under the General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice shall be given stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. A copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, to each

Stockholder entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, and directed to the Stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice required by this Section 2.6 has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. If, however, the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.7 Waivers of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given to any Stockholder under any provision of the General Corporation Law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Stockholder entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

Section 2.8 List of Stockholders.

The Secretary shall prepare and make, or cause to be prepared and made, at least ten days before every meeting of Stockholders, a complete list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each Stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each Stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Stockholder who is present.

Section 2.9 Quorum of Stockholders; Adjournment.

The holders of one-third of the shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at such meeting. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting of Stockholders, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any Stockholders. The holders of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of Stockholders, including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place.

Section 2.10 Voting; Proxies.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation every Stockholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of Stockholders to one vote for each share of capital stock standing in his name on the record of Stockholders determined in accordance with Section 2.5 of the By-laws. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share, on any matter, every reference in the By-laws or the General Corporation Law to a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock. The provisions of Sections 212 and 217 of the General Corporation Law shall apply in determining whether any shares of capital stock may be voted and the persons, if any, entitled to vote such shares; but the Corporation shall be protected in treating the persons in whose names shares of capital stock stand on the record of Stockholders as owners thereof for all purposes. At any meeting of Stockholders (at which a quorum was present to organize the meeting), all matters, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-laws, shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, whether or not a quorum is present when the vote is taken. All elections of directors shall be by written ballot unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. In voting on any other question on which a vote by ballot is required by law or is demanded by any Stockholder entitled to vote, the voting shall be by ballot. Each ballot shall be signed by the Stockholder voting or by his proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted. On all other questions, the voting may be viva voce. Every Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. The validity and enforceability of any proxy shall be determined in accordance with Section 212 of the General Corporation Law.

Section 2.11 Selection and Duties of Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders.

The Board, in advance of any meeting of Stockholders, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at such meeting may, and on the request of any Stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspector or inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all Stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any Stockholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspector or inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them. Any report or certificate made by the inspector or inspectors shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by him or them.

Section 2.12 Organization.

At every meeting of Stockholders, the President, or in the absence of the President a Vice President, and in case more than one Vice President shall be present, that Vice President designated by the Board (or in the absence of any such designation, the most senior Vice President, based on age, present), shall act as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or in his absence one of the Assistant Secretaries, shall act as secretary of the meeting. In case none of the officers above designated to act as chairman or secretary of the meeting, respectively, shall be present, a chairman or a secretary of the meeting, as the case may be, shall be chosen by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.13 Order of Business.

The order of business at all meetings of Stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting, but the order of business to be followed at any meeting at which a quorum is present may be changed by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.14 Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting.

Any action which could be taken at any annual or special meeting of Stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall (a) be signed by the holders of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon (as determined in accordance with subsection 2.5.2 hereof) having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and (b) be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the records of proceedings of meetings of Stockholders. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by the holders of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon (as determined in accordance with subsection 2.5.2 hereof) having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, are delivered to the Corporation, in the manner required by this Section, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by this Section 2.14. The validity of any consent executed by a proxy for a Stockholder pursuant to a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission transmitted to such proxy holder by or upon the authorization of the Stockholder shall be determined by or at the direction of the secretary. A written record of the information upon which the person making such determination relied shall be made and kept in the records of the proceedings of the Stockholders. Any such consent shall be inserted in the minute book as if it were the minutes of a meeting of the Stockholders.

Section 2.15 Notifications of Nominations and Proposed Business.

No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of Stockholders (an "Annual Meeting"), other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by any Stockholder (i) who is a Stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.15 and on the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such Annual Meeting, and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.15.

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as Directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of holders of preferred stock of the Corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of Directors in certain circumstances. Nominations of persons for election as Directors may be made at any Annual Meeting, or at any special meeting of Stockholders (a "Special Meeting") called for the purpose of electing Directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any Stockholder (i) who is a Stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.15 and on the record date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.15.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for (a) business to be properly brought before an Annual Meeting by a Stockholder or (b) a nomination to be made at any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting by a Stockholder, such Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary.

To be timely, a Stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) in the case of an Annual Meeting, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty-five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the Stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting was made, whichever first occurs; and (b) in the case of nominations of persons for election as Directors at a Special Meeting called for the purpose of electing Directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the Special Meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the Special Meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

With respect to matters proposed to be brought before an Annual Meeting, to be in proper written form, a Stockholder's notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the Annual Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the Annual Meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such

Stockholder, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such Stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Stockholder and any material interest of such Stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such Stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

With respect to each person proposed to be nominated for election as a Director, to be in proper written form, a Stockholder's notice to the Secretary must set forth (a) as to each person, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the Stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of such Stockholder, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such Stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such Stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such Stockholder, (iv) a representation that such Stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (v) all other information relating to such Stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected.

No business shall be conducted at any Annual Meeting except business brought before such Annual Meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.15; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before such Annual Meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any Stockholder of any such business. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.15. If (i) the chairman of any Annual Meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the Annual Meeting or (ii) the chairman of any Annual Meeting or Special Meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting or that the nomination was defective, as applicable, and such business shall not be transacted and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 3.1 General Powers.

Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may adopt such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws or applicable laws, as it may deem proper for the conduct of its meetings and the management of the Corporation. In addition to the powers expressly conferred by the By-laws, the Board may exercise all powers and perform all acts which are not required, by the By-laws or the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, to be exercised and performed by the Stockholders.

Section 3.2 Number.

The Board shall consist of not less than three nor more than fifteen directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board and such exact number shall be four until otherwise determined by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board. As used in this Article 3, the term "whole Board" means the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

Section 3.3 Classification.

The Board shall be divided into three classes and, when the number of directors is changed, the Board shall determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned; provided, that no decrease in the number of directors shall affect the term of any director then in office.

Section 3.4 Election.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of Stockholders.

Section 3.5 Term.

The term of office of directors elected at the 1986 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 20, 1987, shall be as follows: the term of office of directors of the first class shall expire at the first annual meeting of Stockholders after their election; the term of office of directors of the second class shall expire at the second annual meeting of Stockholders after their election; and the term of office of directors of the third class shall expire at the third annual meeting of Stockholders after their election; and as to directors of each class, when their respective successors are elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of Stockholders subsequent to the 1986 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors elected to succeed those

whose terms are expiring shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of Stockholders and when their respective successors are elected and qualified.

Section 3.6 New Vacancies.

Vacancies in the Board, however, caused, and newly created directorships shall be filled solely by a majority vote of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of Stockholders at which the term of the class to which the director has been chosen expires and when the director's successor is elected and qualified.

Section 3.7 Resignations.

Any director may resign at any time by written notice to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time therein specified, and unless otherwise specified, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 3.8 Removal of Directors.

Except as otherwise provided by law, any or all of the directors may be removed only for cause, by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Section 3.9 Compensation.

Each director, in consideration of his service as such, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation such amount per annum or such fees for attendance at directors' meetings, or both, as the Board may from time to time determine, together with reimbursement for the reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties. Each director who shall serve as a member of any committee of directors in consideration of his serving as such shall be entitled to such additional amount per annum or such fees for attendance at committee meetings, or both, as the Board may from time to time determine, together with reimbursement for the reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties. Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving proper compensation therefore.

Section 3.10 Place and Time of Meetings of the Board.

Meetings of the Board, regular or special, may be held at any place within or without the State of Delaware. The times and places for holding meetings of the Board may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board or (unless contrary to resolution of the Board) in the notice of the meeting.

Section 3.11 Annual Meetings.

On the day when and at the place where the annual meeting of Stockholders for the election of directors is held, and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Board may hold its annual meeting without notice of such meeting, for the purpose of organization, the election of officers

and the transaction of other business. The annual meeting of the Board may be held at any other time and place specified in a notice given as provided in Section 3.13 of the By-laws for special meetings of the Board or in a waiver of notice thereof.

Section 3.12 Regular Meetings.

Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times and places as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. Unless otherwise required by the Board, regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice. If any day fixed for a regular meeting of the Board shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday at the place where such meeting is to be held, then such meeting shall be held at the same hour at the same place on the first business day thereafter which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

Section 3.13 Special Meetings.

Special meetings of the Board shall be held whenever called by the President or the Secretary or by any two or more directors. Notice of each special meeting of the Board shall, if mailed,. be addressed to each director at the address designated by him for that purpose or, if none is designated, at his last known address at least two days before the date on which the meeting is to be held; or such notice shall be sent to each director at such address by telegraph cable or wireless, or be delivered to him personally, not later than the day before the date on which such meeting is to be held. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting but need not state the purposes of the meeting, except to the extent required by law. If mailed, each notice shall be deemed given when deposited with postage thereon prepaid, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States Postal Service. Such mailing shall be by first class mail.

Section 3.14 Adjourned Meetings.

A majority of the directors present at any meeting of the Board, including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the Board need not be given to any director whether or not present at the time of the adjournment. Any business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
