Rights Offering

Rights Offering

(12)Rights Offering

On September 1, 2020, the Board approved a Rights Offering. For every 1,105 subscription rights held, a stockholder was entitled to purchase one Unit at the subscription price of $1,090. Each Unit consisted of one share of newly designated Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 750 shares of the Company’s common stock. On October 9, 2020, the Rights Offering expired and, as a result of the sale of all 40,000 Units, the Company received approximately $43.6 million in gross proceeds and issued shares of Series C Preferred Stock and shares of common stock such that, following the closing of the Rights Offering, there was an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and 74,214,603 shares of common stock outstanding.

(12)Rights Offering (continued)

On an annual basis, the Board may, at its sole discretion, cause a dividend with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock to be paid in cash to the holders in an amount equal to 3% of the liquidation preference as in effect at such time (initially $1,000 per share). If the dividend is not so paid in cash, the liquidation preference is adjusted and increased annually by an amount equal to 5% of the liquidation preference per share as in effect at such time, that is not paid in cash to the holders on such date. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights and the Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was $1,000 per share. At December 31, 2021 the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was $1,062 per share, inasmuch as no dividend was declared or paid in cash. On December 29, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of 3% on the Series C Preferred Stock, aggregating approximately $1,275,000 or $31.86 per share. Accordingly, the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was $1,062 per share on December 31, 2022. The dividend was paid on January 17, 2023 to the holders of record of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock as of January 10, 2023. On December 28, 2023, the Board declared a cash dividend of 3% on the Series C Preferred Stock, aggregating approximately $1,275,000 or $31.86 per share. Accordingly, the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock remained at $1,062 per share on December 31, 2023. The dividend was paid on January 17, 2024 to the holders of record of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock as of January 10, 2024.

Since November 1, 2022, the Company is able to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or in part, for an amount based on the liquidation preference per share as in effect at such time. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock have the right to demand that the Company redeem their shares in the event that the Company undergoes a change of control as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series C Preferred Stock.

(8)Income Taxes

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 the Company recorded approximately $54,000 of income tax expense. During the comparable period in 2023, the Company recorded approximately $93,000 of income tax expense. The income tax expense in 2024 was mainly related to the reduction of the net deferred tax asset due to the utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards.

ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Because of the inherent uncertainties, including future interest rates, whether or when an acquisition of a profitable entity will come to fruition and other factors, projecting long-term future performance of the Company is problematical. Accordingly, the Company is only projecting pre-tax book income through September 30, 2025 due to interest rates on its short-term cash investments and the absence of any potentially actionable acquisitions at this time. Upon review of positive and negative evidence in determining a partial reversal of the valuation allowance, the Company has concluded that a partial reversal of the valuation allowance is necessary. Interest rates may fluctuate throughout the period through September 30, 2025. However, the Company does not expect them to return to low rates of the past creating a projected taxable income position. Accordingly, a deferred tax expense of approximately $50,000 and $76,000 was recorded during the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company may acquire businesses, entities or revenue streams that could generate sufficient income so that it can utilize its approximately $101.6 million NOL. To date, no acquisition candidates have been identified that are in an actionable state and, while the Company may ultimately be successful in realizing some or all of the value of its NOLs, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to realize any value of its NOLs.

Management of the Company will continue to assess the need for this valuation allowance and will make adjustments when or if appropriate.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had federal NOLs of approximately $101.6 million, of which approximately $98.5 million will expire in the years 2025 through 2036, and New Jersey state NOLs of approximately $23.9 million that expire in the years 2031 through 2042. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 have an unlimited carryforward period, and the amount of net operating loss allowed to be utilized each year is limited to 80% of taxable income.

At September 30, 2024, the Company has federal research and development (“R&D”) credit carryforwards of approximately $9.4 million that expire in the years 2024 through 2029. These deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance such that the deferred tax expense incurred as a result of the expiration of the R&D credit carryforwards was offset by a corresponding deferred tax benefit for the related reduction in valuation allowance.

The Company’s ability to use the NOLs and R&D tax credit carryforwards may be limited, as they are subject to certain limitations due to ownership changes as defined by rules pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, management of the Company believes that the Company’s NOLs will not be limited by any changes in the Company’s ownership as a result of the successful completion of the Rights Offering. (See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) Additionally, in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its NOLs, the Board adopted a Section 382 rights plan. (See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

The Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

(14)Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. These financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains deposit accounts with several financial institutions. These balances are partially insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. Such deposits may exceed FDIC insurance limits. Although the Company currently believes that the financial institutions with whom it does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to the Company, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

(10)Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Prior to 2017, the Company’s primary source of royalty revenues was derived from sales of PegIntron, which is marketed by Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck”). At December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a liability to Merck of approximately $331,000, based primarily on Merck’s assertions regarding recoupments related to prior returns and rebates. Merck has not yet reported 2024 royalty revenue earned by the Company for product sales and/or recoupments for returns and rebates. Accordingly, at September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net payable to Merck of approximately $331,000 due to such royalty overpayment claims by Merck. The Company believes that it will receive no additional royalties from Merck, as all of the relevant patents have expired.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with United States accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as part of the consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include legal and contractual contingencies and income taxes. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience, relevant current information and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Royalty revenues from the Company’s agreements with third parties and pursuant to the sale of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business are recognized when the Company can reasonably determine the amounts earned. In most cases, this will be upon notification from the third-party licensee, which is typically during the quarter following the quarter in which the sales occurred. The Company does not participate in the selling or marketing of products for which it receives royalties. Because the Company records revenue only when collection is assured, no provision for uncollectible accounts is established upon recognition of revenues. Contingent payments with third parties and pursuant to the sale of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business are recognized as income when the milestone has been achieved and collection is assured, such payments are non-refundable and no further effort is required on the part of the Company or the other party to complete the earning process.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates or laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized from operations. Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, would be recognized as income tax expense.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for income taxes, which may include its accounting policies for recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, recognizing investment tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other carryforwards, methodologies for determining its effective income tax rate and the characterization of interest and penalties in the financial statements.

Description of Business

Description of Business

(1)Description of Business

Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Enzon,” “we” or “us”) is positioned as a public company acquisition vehicle, where it can become an acquisition platform and potentially utilize its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in an effort to enhance stockholder value.

In September 2020, the Company initiated a rights offering for its common and preferred stock (see below and Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), which closed in October 2020, and it realized $43.6 million in gross proceeds. This has enabled the Company to embark on its plan to potentially realize the value of its more than $100 million NOLs by acquiring businesses or assets. To protect the NOLs, in August 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a Section 382 rights plan (See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Historically, the Company had received royalty revenues from licensing arrangements with other companies primarily related to the sales of certain drug products that utilized Enzon’s proprietary technology. In recent years, the Company has had no clinical operations and limited corporate operations. Enzon has a marketing agreement for the drug Vicineum, which, if approved, would, potentially, generate milestone and royalty payments to it in the future. Enzon cannot assure you that it will earn material future royalties or milestones.

The Board and the Company’s management are actively involved in pursuing, sourcing, reviewing and evaluating various potential acquisition transactions consistent with its strategy. The Company’s management and Board have made a number of contacts and engaged in discussions with principals of individual companies and financial advisors on behalf of various individual companies, while continuing to evaluate potential transactions. To date, no acquisition candidates have been identified that are in an actionable state.

The Company has a marketing agreement with Micromet AG, now part of Amgen, Inc. (the “Micromet Agreement”), pursuant to which it may be entitled to certain milestone and royalty payments if Vicineum, a drug that was being developed by Sesen, Inc., (“Sesen”) is approved for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Sesen announced that it had completed a merger with Carisma Therapeutics Inc. (“Carisma”), had paused further development of Vicineum in the United States, and had withdrawn its application to market Vicineum in Europe. Sesen also announced that the combined company will focus on the advancement of Carisma’s proprietary cell therapy for the treatment of cancer and other disorders, and it intends to seek a partner for any further development of Vicineum.

The Company receives an annual license maintenance fee of approximately $26,000 from Amgen, Inc. in payment of a worldwide, royalty-free non-exclusive right to license Vicineum. The fee represents half of the amount paid by Viventia Biotech (Barbados) Inc. (“Viventia”), part of Sesen, on an annual basis for the continued right to license Vicineum. The Company received the license maintenance fee during the second quarter of 2024.

In August 2020, the Board adopted a Section 382 rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 24, 2020. (See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In September 2020, the Board approved a Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering”), by which the Company distributed, at no charge to all holders of its common stock on September 23, 2020 (the “Record Date”), transferable subscription rights to purchase units (“Units”) at a subscription price per Unit of $1,090. In the Rights Offering, each stockholder on the Record Date received one subscription right for every share of common stock owned on the Record Date. For every 1,105 subscription rights held, a stockholder was entitled to purchase one Unit at the subscription price. Each Unit consisted of one share of newly designated Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 750 shares of the Company’s common stock. The subscription period for the Rights Offering ended on October 9, 2020.

As a result of the sale of all 40,000 Units available for purchase in the Rights Offering, the Company received approximately $43.6 million of gross proceeds and had 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding and an aggregate of 74,214,603 shares of common stock outstanding following the Rights Offering. (See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

(1)Description of Business (continued)

On an annual basis, the Board may, at its sole discretion, cause a dividend with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock to be paid in cash to the holders in an amount equal to 3% of the liquidation preference as in effect at such time (initially $1,000 per share). If the dividend is not so paid in cash, the liquidation preference is adjusted and increased annually by an amount equal to 5% of the liquidation preference per share as in effect at such time, that is not paid in cash to the holders on such date. The Board did not declare a dividend as of December 31, 2021 and, at December 31, 2021 the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was $1,062 per share. On December 29, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of 3% on the Series C Preferred Stock, aggregating $1,275,000 or $31.86 per share. Accordingly, the cumulative liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock remained at approximately $42,483,000 ($1,062 per share) on December 31, 2022. On December 28, 2023, the Board declared a cash dividend of 3% on the Series C Preferred Stock, aggregating approximately $1,275,000 or $31.86 per share. Accordingly, the cumulative liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock remained at approximately $42,483,000 ($1,062 per share) on December 31, 2023. The dividend was paid on January 17, 2024 to the holders of record of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock as of January 10, 2024. (See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

As of September 30, 2024, the Board had not yet determined whether to declare a cash dividend at the end of 2024. Accordingly, the Company accrued an accretion at 5% for the nine-month period on a pro rata basis (approximately $1,593,000 or $40 per share) and, as a result, the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was approximately $44,076,000 ($1,102 per share) at September 30, 2024. (See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

The Company maintains its principal executive offices at 20 Commerce Drive, Suite 135, Cranford, New Jersey 07016 through a service agreement with Regus Management Group, LLC.

Loss Per Common Share

Loss Per Common Share

Loss Per Common Share

(7)Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share “(EPS)” is calculated by dividing net income (loss), less any dividends, accretion or reduction or redemption on the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively, “nonvested shares”) are not considered to be outstanding shares until the service or performance vesting period has been completed.

The diluted earnings per common share calculation would normally involve adjusting both the denominator and numerator as described here if the effect is dilutive.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the denominator normally includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include stock options and nonvested shares using the treasury stock method and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan. During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no common stock equivalents. There were no stock options or other equity-based incentives outstanding in either such period. Loss per common share information is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with United States accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as part of the consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include legal and contractual contingencies and income taxes. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience, relevant current information and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from these estimates.

(2)Basis of Presentation (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Royalty revenues from the Company’s agreements with third parties and pursuant to the sale of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business are recognized when the Company can reasonably determine the amounts earned. In most cases, this will be upon notification from the third-party licensee, which is typically during the quarter following the quarter in which the sales occurred. The Company does not participate in the selling or marketing of products for which it receives royalties. Because the Company records revenue only when collection is assured, no provision for uncollectible accounts is established upon recognition of revenues.

Contingent payments with third parties and pursuant to the sale of the Company’s former specialty pharmaceutical business are recognized as income when the milestone has been achieved and collection is assured, such payments are non-refundable and no further effort is required on the part of the Company or the other party to complete the earning process.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized. The effect of a change in tax rates or laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized from operations.

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, would be recognized as income tax expense.

Series C Preferred Stock

(13)Series C Preferred Stock

In October 2020, the Company issued 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million.

As of December 31, 2021, the Board had not declared a cash dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a 5% increase to the liquidation preference of approximately $50 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, aggregating approximately $2,023,000, for a cumulative liquidation value of approximately $42,483,000 ($1,062 per share) as of December 31, 2021. Because a cash dividend of 3% was declared for each of 2023 and 2022, at December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was no change to the liquidation value that was recorded as of December 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2024, the Board had not yet determined whether to declare a cash dividend at the end of 2024. Accordingly, the Company accrued an accretion at 5% for the 2024 nine-month period on a pro rata basis (approximately $1,593,000 or $40 per share) and, as a result, the liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock was approximately $44,076,000 ($1,102 per share) at September 30, 2024.

There is no prohibition on the repurchase or redemption of Series C Preferred Shares while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends.

Since the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock is contingently or optionally redeemable, unless and until the Company undertakes a change of control, the Series C Preferred Stock has been classified in mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Section 382 Rights Plan

Section 382 Rights Plan

Section 382 Rights Plan

(11)Section 382 Rights Plan

On August 14, 2020, in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its NOLs, the Board adopted a Section 382 rights plan and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 24, 2020. Accordingly, holders of the Company’s common stock own one preferred stock purchase right for each share of common stock owned by such holder. The rights are not immediately exercisable and will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Section 382 rights plan. If the rights become exercisable, each right would initially represent the right to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for a purchase price of $1.20 per right. If issued, each fractional share of Series A-1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock would give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as does one share of the Company’s common stock. However, prior to exercise, a right does not give its holder any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including any dividend, voting or liquidation rights. The rights would have expired on the earliest of (i) the close of business on June 2, 2024, which date has been extended to March 31, 2025 by the Board and ratified by the stockholders’ vote at the Company’s annual meeting, (ii) the time at which the rights are redeemed or exchanged under the Section 382 rights plan, (iii) the close of business on the day of repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor statute or (iv) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Company’s Board determines that no NOLs may be carried forward.
