(“Enzon” or the “Company”) is furnishing this Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITE proxy card to stockholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on June 7, 2010 in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for use at the annual meeting of stockholders and any adjournment(s), postponement(s) or other delays thereof (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at [•], at 10:00 a.m., local time.  The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Enzon (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) and is revocable by the stockholder any time before it is voted.  This Proxy Statement is being mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about [•], 2010, accompanied by the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Enzon’s principal executive offices are located at 685 Route 202/206 Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807, telephone (908) 541-8600.
Who May Vote
Only holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock” or “Common Shares”), outstanding as of the close of business on June 7, 2010 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were [•] Common Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each Common Share is entitled to one vote on all matters. No other class of securities will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights.
Voting Requirements
One-third of the Common Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting present in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum for action at the meeting.
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. If Proposal No. 2 (which would eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors) is approved, the eight nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected directors for one-year terms, and if Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the two nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast will be elected directors for three-year terms, in each case until their successors are duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 1). Approval of the amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to eliminate the classification of the Board (Proposal No. 2) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The stockholder proposal (Proposal No. 3) and the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants (Proposal No. 4) each requires the favorable vote of a majority of the Common Shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
In the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and have no effect on the outcome of the vote. With respect to the proposal to amend the Charter and Bylaws (Proposal No. 2), abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same

effect as voting against such proposal. With respect to the stockholder proposal (Proposal No. 3) and the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants (Proposal No. 4), abstentions will have the same effect as voting against such proposals, and broker non-votes, if any, will be disregarded and have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
The Board of Directors’ Voting Recommendations
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of the Board’s nominees (either eight or two nominees, as the case may be) that are standing for election to the Board of Directors (Proposal No. 1), “FOR” approval of the amendments to the Charter and Bylaws (Proposal No. 2), “FOR” the stockholder proposal (Proposal No. 3) and “FOR” the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent accountants (Proposal No. 4).
How to Vote
You may vote either in person by ballot at the Annual Meeting or by proxy whether or not you plan to attend the meeting. To vote by proxy, you should sign and date the enclosed  WHITE  proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
Giving us your proxy means you authorize the Board’s designated proxyholders (who are identified on the enclosed WHITE proxy card) to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner that you have indicated and in their discretion on such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return the enclosed  WHITE  proxy card but do not indicate your vote, the designated proxyholders will vote your shares “FOR” each of the Board’s nominees (either eight or two nominees, as the case may be) (Proposal No. 1), “FOR” approval of amendments to the Charter and Bylaws (Proposal No. 2), “FOR” the stockholder proposal (Proposal No. 3) and “FOR” the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent accountants (Proposal No. 4).

Attendance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to stockholders as of the Record Date. Each stockholder may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.

If you are a registered stockholder, you may vote your shares in person by ballot at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your Common Shares in a stock brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it at the Annual Meeting.
Revoking a Proxy
You may revoke your proxy by submitting a new proxy with a later date or by notifying our Corporate Secretary before the Annual Meeting by mail at the address shown on page 1. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote by ballot, any previously submitted proxy will be revoked.
The Board strongly urges you to revoke any [color] proxy card you may have returned that you received from DellaCamera. Even if you have previously signed a [color] proxy card sent to you by DellaCamera, you have every right to change your vote. You may revoke that proxy and vote as recommended by the Board of Directors by signing, dating and returning the enclosed  WHITE  proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
General
Pursuant to the provisions of the Charter and Bylaws, the Board of Directors is currently comprised of three classes of directors, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. One class of directors is elected each year to hold office until the third annual meeting of stockholders after such election and until the successors of such directors are duly elected and qualified. The terms of the Class II directors expire at the Annual Meeting.
Board Declassification
On March 24, 2010, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, amendments to the Charter and Bylaws to eliminate the classification of the Board. See Proposal No. 2.
If Proposal No. 2 is approved, the classes of directors will be eliminated and the entire Board will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. In order to make the declassification of the Board effective at the Annual Meeting, each member of the Board whose term does not expire at the meeting will, prior to the meeting, voluntarily submit his resignation, conditioned upon (i) the director having been nominated by the Board to stand for election as a director at the Annual Meeting and (ii) the approval of Proposal No. 2 by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. If Proposal No. 2 is approved, the eight directors elected at the Annual Meeting will be elected for one-year terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
If Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the Board will remain classified and only the Class II director nominees will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. If Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the two directors elected at the Annual Meeting will be elected for three-year terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The Governance and Nominating Committee has recommended that the Board nominate, and the Board has nominated and recommends that the stockholders elect, Rolf A. Classon, Alexander J. Denner, Thomas F. Deuel, M.D., Robert LeBuhn, Harold J. Levy, Richard C. Mulligan, Robert C. Salisbury and Richard A. Young for one-year terms if Proposal No. 2 is approved. If Proposal No. 2 is approved, the proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement cannot be voted for more than eight nominees at the Annual Meeting.
The Governance and Nominating Committee has recommended that the Board nominate, and the Board has nominated and recommends that the stockholders elect, Drs.

If Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement cannot be voted for more than two nominees at the Annual Meeting.
The nominees for election to the office of director, and certain information with respect to their backgrounds, are set forth below.

Mr. Levy, who was appointed as a director subsequent to the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, was recommended to the Board by Mr. Buchalter who, at the time, was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Drs. Deuel and Young, who were appointed as directors subsequent to the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, were recommended as directors by Dr. Denner, the Board’s chairman.
There are no family relationships among any of the Company’s directors or executive officers.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees named above (Proposal No. 1 on the WHITE proxy card).
STOCKHOLDER SOLICITATION
On January 11, 2008, DellaCamera and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “DellaCamera Group”) delivered a notice to the Company nominating three candidates to stand for election to the Board at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
On February 11, 2008, the Company and the DellaCamera Group entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed that on or before May 31, 2008, it would increase the size of the Board by one and add a new independent director selected by the Company to fill the newly created directorship, and the DellaCamera Group agreed to withdraw its nomination of three candidates to stand for election to the Board.
On May 22, 2008, the Board voted to increase the size of the Board from seven to eight directors and appointed Dr. John Geltosky as a director to fill the newly-created vacancy. Dr. Geltosky was appointed as a Class I director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2009 Annual Meeting”). Although Dr. Geltosky had been one of the three candidates nominated by the DellaCamera Group in January 2008, the Company was not required to consider any of such candidates for appointment to the Board and the decision to appoint Dr. Geltosky as a director was made by the Board in its sole discretion.
On January 7, 2009, the DellaCamera Group delivered a notice to the Company nominating two candidates to stand for election to the Board at the 2009 Annual Meeting. In its notice, the DellaCamera Group stated that it had not yet decided whether to conduct a proxy solicitation at the 2009 Annual Meeting in support of the election of its nominees, but reserved the right to do so.
On January 28, 2009, the DellaCamera Group delivered an additional notice to the Company stating its intention to submit a non-binding proposal (the “2009 DellaCamera Proposal”) recommending and requesting that the Board promptly appoint a special committee comprised solely of independent directors, with at least one member of the committee being a director elected at the 2009 Annual Meeting, to evaluate strategic and financial alternatives to enhance stockholder value,
8

and that the committee avail itself of independent legal and investment banking advisors not previously engaged by the Company, as the committee determined in its sole discretion.
On January 29, 2009, the Company announced that Dr. Denner and Professor Mulligan had been nominated by the Board for election as Class I directors at the 2009 Annual Meeting.
On February 10, 2009, the DellaCamera Group issued a press release disclosing a letter to the Board dated February 9, 2009. In this letter, the DellaCamera Group stated that it was encouraged by the Board’s nominations of Dr. Denner and Professor Mulligan. Subsequent to this letter, the Company received no further communication from the DellaCamera Group regarding its nominees to the Board or the 2009 DellaCamera Proposal.
On February 27, 2009, the DellaCamera Group purported to make a demand under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law for certain of the Company’s books and records. On March 6, 2009, the Company’s counsel advised the DellaCamera Group’s counsel that the Company declined to provide such books and records at that time.
On April 22, 2009, the DellaCamera Group filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a preliminary consent solicitation statement with respect to the solicitation of stockholder consents to (a) amend Article V, Section 5.2 of the Bylaws to permit the Company’s stockholders to remove the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and/or President from such office(s) and any and all other officer’s positions he or she holds by the approval of the holders of a majority of all shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (b) remove Jeffrey H. Buchalter, who was then serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, from such positions and from any and all officer’s positions that he held with the Company, and (c) amend Article XIII of the Bylaws to require the unanimous vote of all directors in order for the Board to amend Article V, Section 5.2 or Article XIII of the Bylaws (such proposals are collectively referred to as the “DellaCamera Consent Proposals”).
On April 28, 2009, the Company filed a complaint seeking declaratory relief that the DellaCamera Consent Proposals were unlawful and invalid under Delaware law.
On May 4, 2009, the Court denied the Company’s motion for expedited proceedings in the lawsuit subject to the parties entering into a stipulation pursuant to which the DellaCamera Group would agree that if any of the DellaCamera Consent Proposals were approved by stockholders, the proposal would have no effect until its validity was determined by the Court.
On May 7, 2009, the DellaCamera Group entered into such a stipulation.
On July 23, 2009, the Company announced that the Board had created the position of non-executive Chairman of the Board and appointed Dr. Denner to such position, effectively immediately. Dr. Denner replaced Mr. Buchalter as Board Chairman. The Company also announced that the Board voted to increase the size of the Board from eight to nine directors and appointed Mr. Levy as a director to fill the newly-created vacancy. Mr. Levy was appointed as a Class I director with a term expiring at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Later on July 23, 2009, the DellaCamera Group issued a press release noting the actions taken by the Company earlier that day and announcing that, as a result, it was withdrawing its consent solicitation.
On December 10, 2009, DellaCamera Master Fund submitted a shareholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requesting that the Company promptly take action to de-classify the Board of Directors. This proposal is included in this Proxy Statement as Proposal No. 3.
On February 18, 2010, the DellaCamera Group delivered a notice to the Company nominating two candidates to stand for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. In its notice, the DellaCamera Group stated that it had not yet decided whether to conduct a proxy solicitation at the Annual Meeting in support of the election of its nominees, but reserved the right to do so.
On April 19, 2010, the Board voted to increase the size of the Board from eight to nine directors and appointed Drs. Deuel and Young as directors to fill a pre-existing vacancy and the newly-created vacancy on the Board.

On April 22, 2010, the Company announced that the Board had approved the submission to stockholders of amendments to the Charter and Bylaws that, if adopted at the 2010 Annual Meeting, would declassify the Board commencing with the 2010 Annual Meeting.
DIRECTORS’ NOMINATION
Process for Identifying and Evaluating Nominees. The Charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee specifies the process for nominating persons for election to the Board. The Committee will solicit nominations for new directors and screen the list of potential new directors submitted to it by other directors or any other sources and decide whether the assistance of a search firm is needed, and if so, choose the firm. After a review of board candidates and after considering the advice of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, the committee will designate which candidates, if any, are to be interviewed. Candidates will be interviewed by the chairman of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and may be interviewed by other directors of the Company. After the interviews are completed, the committee will recommend to the Board which individuals it approves as nominees for membership on the Board. Current directors standing for reelection are not required to participate in an interview process.
Criteria for Board Membership. The Charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee does not set forth the specific criteria for identifying and recommending new candidates to serve as directors; however, candidates may be interviewed by the Governance and Nominating Committee to evaluate the following, among other qualifications it may deem appropriate:

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	experience as a director of another publicly-traded corporation, experience in industries or with technologies relevant to the Company, accounting or financial reporting experience, or such other professional experience that the Governance and Nominating Committee determines qualifies an individual for Board service;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	candidates’ business judgment and temperament, ethical standards, view of the relative responsibilities of a director and management, independent thinking, articulate communication and intelligence; and	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	any other factors as the Governance and Nominating Committee deems appropriate, including judgment, skill, diversity, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board.	
Although the Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a written diversity policy, it considers diversity of knowledge, skills and professional experience as factors in evaluating candidates for the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee assesses its achievement of diversity through its review of Board composition as part of the annual Board self-evaluation process.
Stockholder Nominees. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider written proposals from stockholders for nominees for director. Any such nominations should be submitted to the Governance and Nominating Committee, c/o the Secretary of the Company, and should include the following information: (a) all information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) the names and addresses of the stockholders making the nomination and the number of shares of Common Stock that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholders; and (c) appropriate biographical information and a statement as to the qualification of the nominee. This information should be submitted not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The manner in which the committee evaluates potential directors will be the same for candidates recommended by the stockholders as for candidates recommended by others.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION
2007 Outside Director Compensation Plan
In November 2006, the Compensation Committee engaged Mercer (US) Inc. (“Mercer”) to conduct a survey of directors’ compensation. The survey looked at the director compensation practices for the same Compensation Peer Group companies as was used in determining executive officer compensation and described below in further detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The results of the survey showed that both cash and equity compensation for outside directors under the 2004 Outside Director Compensation Plan was near the 25th percentile. The Compensation Committee recommended increasing the annual retainer and meeting fees, as well as equity awards, to be targeted to the 50th percentile.
In March 2007, the Board adopted a new compensation plan for non-employee directors effective April 1, 2007. Under the 2007 Outside Director Compensation Plan, each non-employee director receives an annual grant of stock options on the first trading day of the calendar year with a Black- Scholes value of $75,000 (the “Annual Option Grant”) and an annual grant of restricted stock units settled in shares of Common Stock on the first trading day after June 30 of each calendar year with a value of $75,000 (the “Annual Restricted Stock Grant”). These grants are made under the 2001 Incentive Stock Plan. The number of options in the Annual Option Grant will be based on its Black-Scholes value and will be at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The Annual Option Grant vests in one tranche on the first anniversary of the date of grant if the recipient director remains on our board on that date. Once vested, options granted pursuant to the Annual Option Grant expire on the 10th anniversary of the date of grant. The number of shares issued in the Annual Restricted Stock Grant will be equal to $75,000 divided by the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The shares covered by the Annual Restricted Stock Grant vest in three equal tranches on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant if the recipient director remains on our board on each such date. Upon the election of a new non-employee director to our Board, such newly elected director will receive a grant of stock options with a Black-Scholes value of $75,000 (the exercise price of which will be equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant) and a grant of restricted stock units settled in shares of Common Stock with a value of $75,000 (the number of shares covered by such grant being equal to $75,000 divided by the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of grant) (the “Welcome Grant”). The options and restricted stock units included in the Welcome Grant vest in three equal tranches on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, if the recipient director remains on the Board on each such date. Furthermore, for the Chairperson of our Board, if such Chairperson is not an employee of the Company, the value of the options and restricted stock units covered by the Annual Option Grant, Annual Restricted Stock Grant and Welcome Grant are twice the amounts mentioned above.
In addition, under the 2007 Outside Director Compensation Plan, each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $25,000. Non-employee directors also receive an additional annual cash retainer of $18,000 for service as chair of the Finance and Audit Committee, $8,000 for service as chair of the Compensation Committee and $5,000 for service as chair of any other committee. Non-employee directors receive an additional annual cash retainer of $8,000 for service as members of the Audit and Finance Committee and an annual cash retainer of $4,000 for each other committee on which they serve but do not chair. Further, each non-employee director is entitled to a cash meeting fee of $2,000 for each meeting of our Board attended in person and $1,000 for each meeting of our Board attended by teleconference and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended.
Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive compensation for their service on our Board of Directors.
Consulting Agreement
On June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Philip Renfro, who had served as a director until May 21, 2009, pursuant to which Mr. Renfro agreed to make himself
11

available to perform consulting services with respect to the business conducted by the Company and the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Renfro a consulting fee of $12,500 per month and to reimburse Mr. Renfro for certain expenses incurred by him in providing the consulting services. The term of the consulting agreement commenced on June 1, 2009 and terminates on May 31, 2010, unless earlier terminated either by Mr. Renfro with 30 days prior written notice or by the Company in the event of a breach by Mr. Renfro of certain covenants. The consulting agreement provides for a confidentiality covenant that runs through the term of the agreement and for five years thereafter.
Total Director Compensation
A summary of compensation paid to each of the Company’s directors during fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 is set forth below. Jeffrey H.

(6)	 	 	 	Dr. Geltosky and Mr. Renfro did not stand for re-election as directors at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and their service on the Board ended on May 21, 2009.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
(7)	 	 	 	Mr. Levy was appointed as a director on July 23, 2009. Mr. Levy has waived all cash and equity compensation to which he is entitled in connection with his service on the Board.	
In March 2009, after consideration of current market conditions and the weak performance of the Company’s stock in 2008, and the determination not to grant any equity awards to executive
12

officers in connection with annual performance reviews at the end of fiscal year 2008, the Governance and Nominating Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, an amendment to the 2007 Outside Directors Plan to provide that there shall be no Annual Restricted Stock Grant for any directors for calendar year 2009.
Directors’ Stock Ownership Program
The directors’ stock ownership program requires each of the outside directors to own and maintain shares of our Common Stock with a market value of five times their annual cash board retainer within five years after the director first joins the Board. Currently, the minimum market value requirement is $125,000, representing five times the $25,000 annual cash board retainer. The determination of whether the shares owned by a director meet the current $125,000 minimum market value requirement will be based on the higher of the highest average trading price of our Common Stock over any consecutive twenty trading days (after the director acquires the applicable shares), or the price paid for the Common Stock by the director. For the purposes of these guidelines the following will be counted in determining stock ownership: (1) shares purchased on the open market, (2) shares owned jointly with or separately by spouse and/or children, (3) shares obtained through stock option exercise, (4) restricted stock or restricted stock units ,  and (5) vested and “in the money” unexercised options, provided that the shares underlying such options may not exceed 50% of the requirement total. The Board may waive this requirement under certain circumstances.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
All directors other than Mr. Buchalter (who served as a director until February 22, 2010) meet the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) for independence. The independent directors of the Board hold at least two executive sessions each year at which only the independent directors are present. In 2009, the independent directors held 10 executive sessions. Mr. Micati was the Lead Independent Director until July 2009 and, while serving in such capacity, presided at these executive sessions. In July 2009, Dr. Denner became Chairman of the Board of Directors and thereafter Dr. Denner presided at these executive sessions.
Meetings and Attendance
The Board of Directors held 22 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held during fiscal year 2009 by the Board of Directors (in the case of Dr. Denner and Professor Mulligan, subsequent to their joining the Board in May 2009, and in the case of Mr. Levy, subsequent to his joining the Board in July 2009) and committees of the Board of Directors of which such director was a member.
Enzon does not have a policy requiring the directors to attend the annual stockholders’ meeting. However, all of the Company’s directors in office at the time of our last annual stockholders’ meeting attended that meeting, except for Dr. Geltosky and Mr. Renfro whose terms expired at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and who did not stand for re-election. It is expected that all of our directors then in office will attend the Annual Meeting.
Board Leadership Structure
On July 23, 2009, the Board of Directors created the position of non-executive Chairman of the Board and appointed Dr. Denner to fill such position. Separating the Chairman position from the Chief Executive Officer position allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus on setting the strategic direction of the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman leads the Board in its role of providing advice to, and overseeing the performance of, the Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that while there is no single best organizational model that is the most effective in all circumstances, the stockholders’ interests are best served by allowing
13

the Board to retain the flexibility to determine the optimal organizational structure for the Company at a given time, including whether the Chairman role should be held by an independent director or by the Chief Executive Officer (if then serving on the Board). The members of the Board possess considerable experience and unique knowledge of the challenges and opportunities that the Company faces and are in the best position to evaluate the needs of the Company and how to best organize the capabilities of the directors and management to meet those needs. Currently, the Board believes that an independent Chairman best serves the Company’s needs.
Communications with Directors
Stockholders may communicate directly with the directors. All communications should be sent in care of the Secretary of Enzon at Enzon’s address and should prominently indicate on the outside of the envelope that it is intended for the Board of Directors, for a specific non-employee director or a particular committee of the Board. If no director is specified, the communication will be forwarded to the entire Board.
Standing Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors currently has the following standing committees: Finance and Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee and Executive Committee.
Finance and Audit Committee. The Finance and Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Salisbury (Chairman) and Messrs. Classon and LeBuhn. The Finance and Audit Committee is independent as defined by NASDAQ listing standards, and Messrs. Salisbury, Classon and LeBuhn each satisfy the definition of audit committee financial expert as determined by the SEC. The primary purpose of the Finance and Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight responsibilities by monitoring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and financial statements, the systems of internal controls and controls over financial reporting, the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, and the performance and independence of the Company’s independent accountants. The committee meets periodically with management to consider the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. It also discusses these matters with the Company’s independent accountants. The committee reviews our financial statements and discusses them with management and the independent accountants before those financial statements are filed with the SEC. The Board of Directors adopted a written charter for the Finance and Audit Committee on June 7, 2000 and the Finance and Audit Committee reviewed and revised such charter on September 11, 2002, March 15, 2006 and February 25, 2009. A copy of the Charter may be found on our website at  www.enzon.com . The Finance and Audit Committee held eight meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Classon (Chairman), Dr. Denner and Messrs. Levy and Micati. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined by NASDAQ listing standards. The primary duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to oversee our overall compensation structure, policies and programs, and assess whether our compensation structure establishes appropriate incentives for management and employees, to administer our incentive-compensation and equity-based compensation plans, to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and set the compensation of other executive officers based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, and to review and recommend employment agreements and severance arrangements for senior officers, including change of control provisions, plans or agreements, among other things. The Compensation Committee may delegate any of the duties specified in its charter to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee consisting of not less than two members of the committee.
Until February 22, 2010, Mr. Buchalter was the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In such capacity, he conducted performance reviews of members of executive management and made recommendations to the Compensation Committee on compensation, including salary increases, bonuses and equity grants, based on his assessment of the individual’s performance as measured
14

against that individual’s targeted performance goals. The Compensation Committee reviewed these recommendations independently and approved, with any modifications it considered appropriate, the compensation.
The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain, at the Company’s expense, such outside counsel, experts and other advisors as it determines appropriate to assist it in the performance of its functions, including the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant and to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms.
The charter of the Compensation Committee may be found on our website at www.enzon.com. There were five meetings of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee currently consists of Mr. Micati (Chairman), Professor Mulligan and Messrs. Salisbury and LeBuhn. Each member of the Governance and Nominating Committee is independent as defined by NASDAQ listing standards. The committee reviews and sets corporate governance policy and is responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors on organization and procedures, performance evaluation of the Board of Directors and individual directors, and nomination of directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee’s Charter may be found on our website at  www.enzon.com . There were five meetings of the Governance and Nominating Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Executive Committee. Prior to February 20, 2010, the Executive Committee consisted of Mr. Buchalter (Chairman), Dr. Ando (whose service on the Executive Committee terminated when he resigned from the Board on August 3, 2009) and Messrs. Classon and Micati. In between meetings of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee may exercise the authority and power of the Board to the full extent permitted under Delaware Law. The Executive Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. In light of Mr. Buchalter’s resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer effective February 22, 2010, on February 20, 2010, the Board established a reconstituted Executive Committee consisting of Dr. Denner (Chairman), Professor Mulligan and Mr. Classon. The reconstituted Executive Committee is serving as a search committee for a new Chief Executive Officer.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Enzon, like other companies, faces a variety of risks, including strategic, operational, liquidity, credit, legal and regulatory risks. The Board oversees risk management primarily through the Finance and Audit Committee, which reviews Enzon’s policies regarding risk oversight and management. Risk oversight is a significant component in all major Board decisions and the evaluation of risk is an important element in the Board’s decision-making process. In addition, other Board committees review risks relating to their areas of oversight. For example, the Compensation Committee reviews risks relating to the Company’s compensation practices and policies.
The Company reviews risk on an ongoing basis at all levels of the corporate organization. At least annually, management reviews its risk management activities with the Finance and Audit Committee, and the Chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee provides updates to the full Board. The Board believes that its current leadership structure is conducive to the risk oversight process.
Code of Conduct
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct that is applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. Any material changes made to the Code of Conduct or any waivers granted to any of our directors and executive officers will be publicly disclosed by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of such material change or waiver. A copy of our Code of Conduct is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website at  www.enzon.com  or upon request, without charge, by contacting our Investor Relations Department by calling (908) 541-8777 or through an e-mail request to investor@enzon.com.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Compensation Committee determines all compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers (as defined below under “Historical Compensation of our Executive Officers”). The following discussion describes the objectives of our compensation programs, including the philosophy and policies behind the programs, the elements of our compensation programs, and the impact of regulatory requirements on our compensation decisions and programs.
Objectives of Our Compensation Program
Compensation Philosophy and Policies
The philosophy of our compensation programs is to enhance the Company’s performance and stockholder value by aligning the financial interests of our senior managers with those of our stockholders, while keeping the overall compensation package competitive. The compensation package for officers includes a number of components. The combination of base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives that we provide to our executives is designed to be competitive with those of comparable companies and to align executive performance with the interests of our stockholders. The package is designed to align individual compensation with the short-term and long-term performance of the Company and is based on the following principles:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	Pay for the achievement of business and strategic objectives, as measured by our financial and operating performance, as well as individual strategic, management and development goals.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	Pay competitively, with compensation set at levels that will attract and retain key employees.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	Align the compensation of executive officers with the interests of stockholders through equity.	
The Compensation Committee focuses on the long-term strategic objectives of the Company and the need to retain unique talent to achieve those objectives. In addition to reviewing the competitive landscape of the biopharmaceutical industry, the Compensation Committee carefully considers, through strategic analysis, the specific long term needs of the Company to grow stockholder value. Along those lines, the Compensation Committee continues to monitor its compensation philosophy and objectives and will make changes as appropriate to better position the Company for the future.
Compensation Consultant; Compensation Peer Group
Mercer, the outside compensation expert retained by the Compensation Committee, assists the Compensation Committee with determinations concerning compensation levels and mix for our executive officer group. As part of its engagement, Mercer analyzes data from the group of biopharmaceutical industry companies of comparable revenues, therapeutic focus and business model, including a selected subset of companies that are included in the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. This group, which we will refer to as the “Compensation Peer Group” in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, is intended to represent a group of companies against which we believe we compete for talent and stockholder investment. The Compensation Peer Group is periodically reviewed and updated by the Compensation Committee. Additionally, Mercer has reviewed and concurred with the selection of companies included in the Compensation Peer Group. In 2009, the Compensation Peer Group consisted of the following companies: Alkermes, Inc., Celgene Corporation, Cephalon, Inc., Genta Incorporated, Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, Medarex, Inc., Nektar Therapeutics, Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., PDL BioPharma, Inc., Sepracor Inc., Telik, Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. For comparison purposes, the Company’s annual revenues ranked between the 50th and 60th percentile of companies comprising the Compensation Peer Group (based on 2008 revenues). The committee generally sets target compensation for the Company’s executive officers between the 50th and 75th percentiles of compensation paid to similarly situated executives of the companies comprising the Compensation Peer Group. The Committee believes that the range between the 50th and 75th percentiles provides competitive overall compensation targets to attract
18

and retain experienced executive talent, drive their performance and reward the achievement of challenging goals.
With the sale of the Company’s specialty pharmaceutical business in January 2010 to affiliates of the sigma-tau group (“Sigma-Tau”) and the reorganization of the Company around a biotechnology business model, the Compensation Peer Group is being reevaluated for a more appropriate mix of companies related to market capitalization, platform technologies and pipeline status.
Components of the Compensation Package
The compensation package for each of the Named Executive Officers as well as other officers who are members of our executive staff consists of four elements:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	base salary;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	annual performance-based incentive;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	stock incentive programs; and	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	various other benefits.	
In addition, our executive officers may have entered into employment agreements with us, and may be entitled to receive change of control and severance payments, or to participate in our executive deferred compensation plan. More specific information on each of these elements follows.
There is no pre-established policy or target, except where specified in an employment agreement, for the allocation between either cash or non-cash or short-term and long-term incentive compensation. Rather, the Compensation Committee determines, and at its discretion, in consultation with Mercer, the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation.
The elements of the compensation package are determined and allocated with consideration of comparisons to the Compensation Peer Group. Each element of the compensation package and the allocation of such elements are proposed by management and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, and, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with Mercer.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee aims to set base salaries at levels that are competitive with those paid to senior executives at companies included in the Compensation Peer Group. The Compensation Committee believes that this will allow the Company to attract and retain the executive talent required to lead the Company, since we compete with a large number of companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including large pharmaceutical companies, for executive talent. Salaries are reviewed annually and in connection with promotions. The Compensation Peer Group is considered in making salary determinations to align our pay practices with other companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Individual job performance is also considered in setting salaries. During 2009, our Chief Executive Officer conducted performance reviews of members of executive management and made recommendations to the Compensation Committee on salary, including salary increases, based on his judgment of the individual’s performance, using the following criteria for evaluation: attainment of job accountabilities and functional goals, leadership qualities, strategic contribution and adoption of the Company’s corporate values that focus on five key operating principles—people, passion, performance, pride, and a steadfast commitment to delivering on promises. The Compensation Committee reviewed these recommendations independently and approved the annual salary and salary increases, with any modifications it considered appropriate based on its own interaction with executive management and review of accomplishments. See the discussion in the Corporate Governance section above regarding the Compensation Committee for additional disclosure concerning our Chief Executive Officer’s role in compensation decisions.
The Compensation Committee reviewed base salaries at the end of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 and determined not to increase any executive officer salaries for 2009 or 2010. This determination was based on Compensation Peer Group market data reviewed by
19

Mercer and the determination that current base salary levels remained competitive. For additional information regarding the base salaries in fiscal year 2009, see the Summary Compensation Table below. The base salaries for the Named Executive Officers, effective January 1, 2010, are as set forth below (other than for Mr. Buchalter, who resigned from the Company effective February 22, 2010). The titles for each Named Executive Officer are as of January 1, 2010.

Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
The Company maintains an incentive program that provides an opportunity for officers and employees to earn a cash incentive based upon the Company’s performance and their individual performance. The incentive potential is stated as a percentage of the officer’s or employee’s base salary and varies by position, and for those officers with employment agreements will be at least equal to the percentage required by such employment agreements. Corporate goals are discussed and agreed to by the Board of Directors prior to the beginning of a new fiscal year. Individual goals for employees and Named Executive Officers are established in alignment with these overall corporate goals. In addition, the Named Executive Officers have specific functional goals set at the start of the fiscal year and based on business criteria. Actual incentives are calculated at the end of the fiscal year based on goal performance and overall corporate performance.
All executive management had the same corporate goals for the period covered by this report. The corporate goals were based on annual product revenues, operational project milestones and pipeline development. These targets were developed to be consistent with, and promote the achievement of, the objectives of the Company’s long-term strategic plan and the Company’s focus on developing a platform for long-term sustainable growth. Achievement of these goals is part of the total consideration for management’s cash incentive for 2009. The 2009 stated corporate goals included maintaining relative stability of revenues in the products and contract manufacturing segments, advancing two R&D programs into further clinical trials, advancing our next-generation Oncaspar and Adagen programs, continued improvement in the Company’s capital structure, continued improvement in gross margins, identification of additional G&A efficiencies. Beyond the specific 2009 corporate goals, the Company has ongoing strategic goals that are in-line with the long-term strategic plan, including identification of value-enhancing opportunities. In 2009, the Company had a 3% increase in product segment revenues. The Company’s PEGylated SN38 product candidate progressed through Phase I studies and advanced into Phase II. In 2009, the Company filed an Investigational New Drug application for its next-generation Adagen program. The Company was also successful in transferring the improved manufacturing technology for its next-generation Oncaspar and Adagen and the pivotal clinical study for Oncaspar is well underway. The Company improved its capital structure with the purchase of $20.5 million of its outstanding convertible debt in 2009. The Company also made improvements in its financials by the improvement in its gross margin due to the consolidation of its manufacturing facilities and efficiencies in its overall expense structure primarily in general and administrative.
Individual goals and weightings for each participant varied, depending on the participant’s position and areas of responsibility and the participant’s effect on the Company’s performance. As with base salary, the evaluation considered the individual’s performance using the following criteria for evaluation: attainment of job accountabilities and functional goals, leadership qualities, strategic contribution and adoption of the Company’s key operating principles. Targets were developed with
20

the expectation that their achievement would be attainable but ambitious. Thus, there is meaningful risk that targets will not be achieved and payments will not be made at all or will be made at less than 100%. This uncertainty ensures that any payments under this program are truly performance-based. Achievement of the individual goals is reviewed in consideration of management’s cash incentive for 2009.
The 2009 individual performance goals for the Named Executive Officers were as follows:

For 2009, our Chief Executive Officer reviewed the performance goal achievement of members of executive management and made recommendations to the Compensation Committee on annual incentive payouts based on attainment of the agreed upon goals. The Compensation Committee reviewed those recommendations and, with any modifications it considered appropriate, determined and approved the annual incentive payouts. The Compensation Committee independently reviewed and recommended the annual incentive payout and compensation for the Chief Executive Officer to the entire Board of Directors for approval.
21

The Compensation Committee calculated performance incentives following the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and the Company paid those performance incentives as set forth below in January 2010, provided that one-half of the performance incentives were paid in the form of restricted stock units having a one year vesting period.

Stock Incentive Programs
The Compensation Committee believes that stock incentive programs directly link the amounts earned by officers with the amount of appreciation realized by our stockholders. Equity-based awards also serve as a critical retention incentive. Stock incentive programs have always been viewed as a major means to attract and retain highly qualified executives and key personnel and have always been a major component of the compensation package, consistent with practices throughout the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Our stock incentive programs are structured to encourage key employees to continue in our employ and motivate performance that will meet the long-term expectations of stockholders. In determining the size of any option or restricted stock or restricted stock unit award, the Compensation Committee considers the individual’s position, past performance and potential, the desired retention incentive, and market practices and levels.
The Compensation Committee generally considers and makes grants of equity-based awards to executive officers once a year coinciding with annual performance reviews. Equity-based awards may also be granted at other times during the year in connection with promotions or for new hires or as special performance awards. Equity-based awards to members of executive management are made under our 2001 Incentive Stock Plan. Options are granted with the exercise price equal to the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of the grant. Vesting on most equity-based awards occurs over a three to four year period, which is designed to encourage retention. The amount and combination of equity grants, as well as the vesting period, is determined by the Compensation Committee with the intention of providing performance incentive and retention.
Other Benefits
Executive officers participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that all employees should have the opportunity to acquire or increase their holdings of our Common Stock. Under our 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, all eligible employees, including executive officers, who choose to participate in the 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan have deductions made by us from their compensation to purchase our Common Stock semi-annually on March 31 and September 30 of each year, at a purchase price equal to 85%
23

of the reported last sale price of our Common Stock on either the first or last day of each six-month offering period, whichever is less.
Executive officers participate in the Company’s 401(k) savings plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for the benefit of all of our employees, including our executive officers. The 401(k) savings plan provides for a discretionary matching contribution.
Executive officers also participate in the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan that provides a select group of our management or highly compensated employees with the opportunity to defer the receipt of certain compensation. The material terms of this plan are described below under “Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.”
Executive officers participate in various medical, dental, life, disability and benefit programs that are generally made available to all employees. Certain of our executive officers also receive reimbursement for (1) tax and financial planning services, (2) life and disability insurance premiums, and/or (3) home security systems. It has been the Company’s practice to make additional payments to executive officers to make them whole with respect to taxes incurred in connection with such reimbursements. However, in February 2009, the Compensation Committee established a policy providing that the Company shall not make any such additional payments to executive officers to make them whole with respect to taxes incurred in connection with any perquisites.
The Company maintains a limited membership in a chartered flight lease program. A chartered flight can provide for more efficient and productive use of executives’ time as compared to commercial flights. The Company’s policy provided for independent director review and approval of the business purpose for certain chartered flights. The Company’s policy also allowed family members to accompany our executive officers on business flights, provided, that the value of family member usage is reported according to Internal Revenue Service rules. The Company terminated this program in 2010.
The Company had maintained a leased automobile for use by executive officers. Additionally, the Company had employed a security associate who also served as a driver for executive officers primarily for the purpose of ensuring personal security. These benefits were ended in 2009.
Executive Officer Employment and Separation Agreements
Jeffrey H. Buchalter
In December 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Jeffrey H. Buchalter, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, pursuant to which Mr. Buchalter served as our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The agreement, as amended, provides for a base salary, which during 2009 was $855,000 per year, subject to increase, and that Mr. Buchalter was eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus in an amount between zero and 200% of his base salary, based on individual and/or corporate factors established and determined by the Board of Directors as described above under “Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation.” The annual target bonus required by Mr. Buchalter’s employment agreement was equal to 100% of his base salary.
In the event Mr. Buchalter’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in Mr. Buchalter’s employment agreement) or for good reason (as defined in Mr. Buchalter’s employment agreement), Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of termination, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to four times his annual base salary, and (iii) a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the period worked during the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. In addition, Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to reimbursement for any health benefits and life and disability insurance coverage available to him and his family members for a period of up to four years commencing on the date of termination, all equity awards granted to Mr. Buchalter that have not vested at the time of termination will vest immediately upon termination, and Mr. Buchalter will continue to be entitled to any deferred
24

compensation and any other unpaid amounts and benefits earned and vested prior to or as a result of his termination.
Mr. Buchalter’s employment agreement provides that (i) during the period ending January 31, 2010, Mr. Buchalter will not be entitled to terminate his employment for good reason by virtue of his having been removed from the position of Chairman of the Board in July 2009 and (ii) during the period commencing February 1, 2010 and ending on July 31, 2010, Mr. Buchalter’s right to terminate his employment for good reason by virtue of his having been removed as Chairman of the Board shall be reinstated. During the period described in clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, any resignation or termination of Mr. Buchalter’s employment that is initiated by Mr. Buchalter will be deemed to be a termination for good reason. Effective February 22, 2010, Mr. Buchalter terminated his employment with the Company for good reason.
If any payments or compensation received by Mr. Buchalter in connection with a change of control are subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to receive additional payments to make him whole with respect to such excise taxes.
Mr. Buchalter’s employment agreement requires him to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information during the term of his agreement and thereafter. Mr. Buchalter is subject to a non-competition covenant during the term of his employment agreement and for two years after his employment is terminated (one year if the termination occurs pursuant to a notice of nonrenewal).
The agreement stipulates that the Company will reimburse Mr. Buchalter for (i) his reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any dispute arising from the employment agreement in which Mr. Buchalter proceeds in good faith and (ii) for his reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the July 2009 amendment to the agreement.
Resignation of Mr. Buchalter
On February 19, 2010, Jeffrey Buchalter resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company, effective as of February 22, 2010. In light of Mr. Buchalter’s resignation, on February 20, 2010, the Board of Directors created an Executive Committee, comprised of Dr. Denner, Professor Mulligan and Mr. Classon, to serve as a search committee for a new Chief Executive Officer. On February 22, 2010, the Executive Committee appointed Mr. del Campo, previously the Company’s Executive Vice President, Technical Operations, as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and designated him as Principal Executive Officer, and appointed Dr. Horak, previously the Company’s Executive Vice President, Research and Development and Chief Scientific Officer, as the Company’s President of Research and Development.
While final settlement terms remain under negotiation, Mr. Buchalter may receive severance payments including certain insurance benefits of up to $3.8 million. In addition, approximately 281,000 stock options, 67,000 shares of restricted stock and 225,000 restricted stock units are subject to accelerated vesting as of his date of resignation, subject to certain conditions.
Craig A. Tooman
In June 2008, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Craig A. Tooman, pursuant to which Mr. Tooman retained his position of Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer and was further appointed to serve as the senior executive overseeing the human resources and information technology functions. The employment agreement, as amended, will be effective until June 18, 2011, subject to automatic renewal for an additional twenty-four months unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than 90 days prior to June 18, 2011.
The amended and restated agreement provides for a base salary, which is currently $505,000 per year, subject to increase, and Mr. Tooman will be eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus in an amount between zero and 120% of base salary, with an annual target bonus of
25

60% of base salary, based on individual and/or corporate factors to be established and determined by the Board of Directors each year and described above under “Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation.”
In the event Mr. Tooman’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in Mr. Tooman’s employment agreement) or for good reason (as defined in Mr. Tooman’s employment agreement), Mr. Tooman will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of termination, (ii) a cash payment equal to one year of his base salary, (iii) a cash payment equal to the target bonus which would have been payable for the fiscal year which commences immediately following the date of his termination and (iv) a cash payment equal to a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs. In addition, Mr. Tooman will be entitled to reimbursement for any medical and dental coverage available to him and his family members for a period of up to 18 months commencing on the date of termination, all options and shares of restricted stock initially granted by the Company to Mr. Tooman pursuant to his original January 2005 employment agreement and the June 2005 amendment thereof that have not vested at the time of termination will vest immediately upon termination, and Mr. Tooman will continue to be entitled to any deferred compensation and any other unpaid amounts and benefits earned and vested prior to or as a result of his termination.
If we experience a change of control (as defined in Mr. Tooman’s employment agreement) and Mr. Tooman’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within the period commencing 90 days before such change in control and ending one year after the change of control, Mr. Tooman will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of termination, (ii) a cash payment equal to two times the sum of his base salary and target bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs and (iii) a cash payment equal to a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs.

Further, upon a change of control any of Mr. Tooman’s options to purchase Common Stock and shares of restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units that have been granted to him, but not yet vested, prior to the effective date of the change of control shall vest at such time.
If any payments or compensation received by Mr. Tooman in connection with a change of control are subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Tooman will be entitled to receive additional payments to make him whole with respect to such excise taxes.
Mr. Tooman’s employment agreement requires him to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information during the term of his agreement and thereafter. Mr. Tooman is precluded from competing with us during the term of his employment agreement and for one year after his employment is terminated.
Ivan D. Horak, M.D.
In September 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Ivan D. Horak, pursuant to which Dr. Horak was appointed our Executive Vice President, Research and Development and Chief Scientific Officer. The employment agreement will be effective until September 2, 2009, subject to automatic renewal for an additional twenty-four months unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than 90 days prior to September 2, 2009.

In May 2004, we entered into an amended and restated severance agreement with Mr. del Campo, the initial term of which expired on December 31, 2004, with an automatic renewal for an additional twelve months in January of each year, unless the Company provides notice of non-renewal by September 30 of the preceding year. Notwithstanding such notice by the Company not to extend, in the event that there occurs, during the term, a change in control (as defined in Mr. del Campo’s amended and restated severance agreement), the agreement shall then continue in effect for a period of twelve months beyond the date of such change of control. The severance agreement was further amended in November 2007.

Paul S. Davit
In May 2004, we entered into an amended and restated severance agreement with Mr. Davit, the initial term of which expired on December 31, 2004, with an automatic renewal for an additional twelve months in January of each year, unless the Company provides notice of non-renewal by September 30 of the preceding year. Notwithstanding such notice by the Company not to extend, in the event that there occurs, during the term, a change in control (as defined in Mr. Davit’s amended and restated severance agreement), the agreement shall then continue in effect for a period of twelve months beyond the date of such change of control.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan provides a select group of our management or highly compensated employees with the opportunity to defer the receipt of certain compensation. To attract and retain key talent, the Company needs to provide programs that are competitive within our industry. By allowing tax-deferred income growth, executives are incentivized to remain with the Company long-term, providing more stability to management. The plan is administered in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company’s obligation for compensation deferred under the plan are that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future to participating eligible employees in accordance with the terms of the plan from the general assets of the Company, and those obligations rank  pari passu  with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding.
Each participant may elect to defer under the plan all or a portion of his or her base salary and/or annual cash or equity incentive compensation that may otherwise be payable or that may otherwise vest in a calendar year. In addition, the committee administering the plan may, in its sole
28

discretion, award non-elective deferred compensation to a participant. Any credit of non-elective deferred compensation will vest in accordance with the schedule determined by the committee and be distributed in a manner consistent with the election last made by the particular participant.
A participant’s compensation deferrals are credited to the participant’s account maintained under the Plan. Each participant allocates his or her account among the deemed investment options available under the plan from time to time. Amounts credited to participants’ accounts for each year are adjusted for earnings or losses based on the deemed investment options elected by the participant. We are not obligated to actually invest any deferred amounts in those investment options. Each participant’s account is credited on a daily basis with a deemed rate of interest and/or earnings or losses depending upon the investment performance of the deemed investment option. Participants can currently choose from a list of 11 deemed investment options of various asset classes which are administered by an outside registered broker. All deemed investment options, such as money market, bond, stock or other mutual funds, are at market interest rates.
A participant’s account will be credited with an excess 401(k) matching credit. The matching credit is 50% of the value of the matchable annual deferral for the Plan year where the matchable annual deferral is that portion of a participant’s deferral amount for each plan year which is less than or equal to: (i) 6% of total base salary plus annual incentive compensation for a plan year, minus (ii) the amount contributed by the participant to the Company’s 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan for which the participant received an employer matching contribution under that 401(k) Plan. The matchable annual deferral for a plan year shall be zero if the participant does not make the maximum deferral eligible for a matching contribution under that 401(k) Plan for the plan year. A participant’s right to receive the matching credit vests over a five year period.
Each participant may generally elect the time and manner of payment of the deferred compensation. At the election of the participant, payment of the deferred compensation may be made in a lump sum or in annual installments. The time for payment elected by the participant must be a specific date selected at the time of election or the date of the participant’s separation from service. In the event of a change in control of the Company as defined under the plan, payments will be made in the form of a lump sum.
The deferred compensation is not subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to the individual payment dates selected by the participants, except that participants may withdraw all or a portion of the value of their plan accounts under certain specified circumstances and certain mandatory lump sum distributions may be made. We reserve the right to amend or terminate the plan at any time, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the plan, no amendment can decrease the benefits to a participant on compensation deferred prior to the date of the amendment without the consent of the participant.
Share Ownership Guidelines for Senior Management
The Board of Directors approved share ownership guidelines for our senior management. These guidelines are applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, executive officers and other Vice President level employees. Under the share ownership guidelines, members of senior management are encouraged to acquire and maintain share holdings in our Common Stock in amounts expressed as a multiple of base salary. The guidelines provide for a four-year window within which the share ownership level is to be achieved. These ownership guidelines are designed to further align executive ownership, long- term strategic thinking and compensation programs to our performance and the interests of our stockholders.
The following multiples of base salary apply:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	three times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	two times base salary for other executive officers and Vice President level employees.	
The following will be counted in determining share ownership:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	shares purchased on the open market;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	shares owned jointly with or separately by spouse and/or children;	
29

 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	shares held by the individual in the Company’s 401(k) plan;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	shares obtained through stock option exercise;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	restricted stock or restricted stock units;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	vested and “in the money” unexercised options, provided that these shares may not exceed 50% of the requirement total; and	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	shares purchased pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or other employee purchase plans.	
Impact of Tax and Accounting Treatment on Compensation
The accounting and tax treatment of compensation generally has not been a factor in determining the amounts of compensation for our executive officers. However, the Compensation Committee and management have considered the accounting and tax impact of various program designs to balance the potential cost to the Company with the benefit/value to the executive.
The Company seeks to maximize the deductibility for tax purposes of all elements of compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility for federal income taxes of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a publicly held company’s chief executive officer and any of the other four highest-paid executive officers, except for “performance-based compensation.” The Compensation Committee is aware of this limitation and considers the effects of Section 162(m) when making compensation decisions.
Conclusion
We believe our compensation policies and practices have attracted the best talent available, maintains their connection to the Company and aligns their long-term interests with our stockholders.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
The Board of Directors has adopted a formal written policy that the Company not enter into any “related party transaction” (defined consistent with Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) unless the Finance and Audit Committee or a comparable committee of disinterested directors approves such transaction. No member of the Finance and Audit Committee or comparable committee shall participate in the review or approval of any related party transaction or any material amendment thereto where that member is a related party in that transaction. In reviewing and approving any related party transaction or any material amendment thereto, the Finance and Audit Committee or comparable committee shall satisfy itself that it has been fully informed as to the related party’s relationship and interest and as to the material facts of the proposed related party transaction or material amendment, and shall determine that the related party transaction or material amendment thereto is fair to the Company. There were no related party transactions during the year ended December 31, 2009.
REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company’s Finance and Audit Committee consists of three independent members of the Board of Directors as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Board of Directors adopted a written charter for the Finance and Audit Committee on June 7, 2000 and the Finance and Audit Committee reviewed and revised such charter on September 11, 2002, March 15, 2006 and February 25, 2009.
The primary purpose of the Finance and Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight responsibilities by monitoring the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and financial statements, the systems of internal controls and controls over financial reporting, the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, and the performance and independence of the Company’s independent accountants. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and for the maintenance of policies and internal controls necessary to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent accountants are responsible for planning and conducting an audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, reviews of the Company’s quarterly financial statements and performing such other procedures required by applicable Statements of Auditing Standards or requested by the Committee. The independent accountants audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and discuss with us their independence and any other matters they are required to discuss with us or that they believe should be raised with us. We oversee these processes, although we must rely on the information provided to us and on the representations made by management and the independent accountants.
36

The Finance and Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 with management. Furthermore, the Finance and Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent accountants, KPMG LLP, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended. Also, the Finance and Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with KPMG such auditing firm’s independence. Based on these reviews and discussions the Finance and Audit Committee recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the last fiscal period for filing such report with the SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 2—APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER AND BYLAWS
TO ELIMINATE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors is seeking approval of amendments to paragraphs A and B of Article 9 of the Charter and to Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Article III of the Bylaws to eliminate the classification of the Board (the “Declassification Amendments”). The Board is aware that a growing number of companies have been eliminating their classified board structures. Therefore, in light of this corporate governance trend, on March 24, 2010, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, the Declassification Amendments.
Current Board
There currently are three Class II directors, whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting and two of whom are standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting; three Class III directors, whose terms expire at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and three Class I directors, whose terms expire at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Consequences of Approval and Failure to Approve
If the Declassification Amendments are approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	the resignations submitted by Messrs. Classon, LeBuhn, Salisbury and Levy, Dr. Denner and Professor Mulligan will become effective and such individuals will stand for election for one-years term expiring at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	the two Class II nominees (Drs. Deuel and Young) will stand for election for one-year terms expiring at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; and	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
•	 	 	 	the Board will no longer be classified and all directors will stand for election for one-year terms at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at all annual meetings held thereafter.	
If the Declassification Amendments are not approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors will remain classified, and Drs. Deuel and Young will stand for election as Class II nominees for three-year terms expiring at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Vote Required
As set forth in the Charter and the Bylaws, approval of the Declassification Amendments requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date for the Annual Meeting there were an aggregate of [•] votes eligible to be cast, so approval of the Declassification Amendments would require at least [•] affirmative votes.
Annexes
The proposed Declassification Amendments are attached as annexes to this Proxy Statement, with the proposed amendments to the Charter attached as Annex B and the proposed amendments to the Bylaws attached as Annex C. In each Annex, deletions are indicated by strikeouts and additions are indicated by double underlines.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of amendments to the Charter and the Bylaws to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors as described above (Proposal No. 2 on the WHITE proxy card).
PROPOSAL NO. 3—STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
Enzon has been advised that DellaCamera Master Fund, Ltd., c/o DellaCamera Capital Management, LLC, 461 Fifth Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY, record holder of 1,000 shares of Common Stock, intends to present the following proposal at the Annual Meeting for action by
42

Enzon’s stockholders. The proposal will be voted upon at the Annual Meeting if this stockholder, or a duly authorized representative, is present at the meeting and submits the proposal for a vote.
“NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) request that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) promptly take all necessary actions under applicable state law to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws to reorganize the Board into one class subject to election each year and to institute annual elections for all directors beginning with the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders.”
Supporting Statement
“The election of directors is a fundamental stockholder right and an essential component of corporate governance. Directors should be accountable for their performance each and every year, and if stockholders are not satisfied with such performance, they should have the right to communicate their dissatisfaction annually through the election process.
“The Board is divided into three classes, with approximately one-third of all directors elected annually to three-year terms. Eliminating this classification system will require each director to stand for election annually and will give stockholders an opportunity to register their views on the performance of the collective Board, as well as individual directors, on an annual basis. We believe that electing directors in this way is one of the best methods available to stockholders to ensure that a company will be managed in a manner that is in the best interests of stockholders. Classified boards artificially insulate underperforming directors from the judgment of stockholders, the true owners of a company.
“The evidence indicates that stockholders at other companies increasingly favor declassified boards. According to RiskMetrics Group, 2008 represented the first time on record that a clear majority of companies did not maintain a classified board. Further, during the first half of 2008, according [to] the RiskMetrics Group, stockholder proposals favoring declassified boards received over 67 percent average support from votes actually cast, which is among the highest average support level for any type of stockholder proposal.
“We believe that good corporate governance procedures and practices have a positive effect on the financial performance of companies. We also believe that stockholders are willing to pay a premium for companies with good corporate governance. If the Company were to take the steps necessary to reorganize the Board into one class subject to annual elections, it would be a strong statement that this Company is committed to good corporate governance and its long-term financial performance.
“We believe that this reform is needed. WE URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THIS RESOLUTION.”
Board of Directors’ Position and Recommendation
Enzon is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and has considered this proposal and determined to offer its own, Board-sponsored proposal to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors effective at the Annual Meeting (see Proposal No. 2). Because this proposal was submitted by the proponent in accordance with applicable SEC rules, stockholders are being presented with the opportunity to vote on this proposal as well.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of this stockholder proposal (Proposal No. 3 on the WHITE proxy card).
PROPOSAL NO. 4—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors, has approved the retention of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), independent accountants, to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting
43

and will have the opportunity to make a statement should they desire to do so. Such representatives are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Finance and Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent accountants in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the accountants’ independence. The Finance and Audit Committee specifically pre-approves all audit fees, audit related fees, tax service fees and all other fees. The Finance and Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chair of the Committee to approve any services not specifically pre-approved by the Committee provided that disclosure of such services and fees is made to the Finance and Audit Committee at the next scheduled meeting following such approval.
Audit Fees, Audit Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

(1)	 	 	 	Includes services relating to the audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, review of quarterly financial statements, issuance of consents, review of documents filed with the SEC, accounting consultations, and the audit of management effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. In 2009, Audit Fees also include services relating to the audit of the financial statements of the Company in connection with the sale of the Company’s specialty pharmaceutical business.	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
(2)	 	 	 	Relates to the audit of the financial statements of Evivrus, Inc. in connection with the considered spin-off of the Company’s biotechnology business in 2008.	
The Finance and Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG is compatible with maintaining KPMG’s independence and concluded that KPMG is “independent”.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the selection of KPMG, independent accountants, to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 (Proposal No. 4 on the WHITE proxy card).

GENERAL
Cost of Solicitation
As a result of the proxy contest initiated by DellaCamera, we will incur substantial additional costs in connection with our solicitation of proxies. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. (“D.F. King”) to assist us in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of up to $100,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. D.F. King expects that approximately 25 of its employees will assist in the solicitation. Our expenses related to the solicitation of proxies from stockholders this year will substantially exceed those normally spent for an annual meeting of stockholders. Such additional costs are expected to aggregate to approximately $[•] this year, exclusive of any costs related to any litigation in connection with the Annual Meeting. These additional solicitation costs are expected to include the increased fee payable to our proxy solicitor (up to $100,000 this year as compared to approximately $11,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses in 2009); fees of outside counsel to advise the Company in connection with a contested solicitation of proxies; increased mailing costs, such as the costs of additional mailings of solicitation material to stockholders, including printing costs, mailing costs and the reimbursement of reasonable expenses of banks, brokerage houses and other agents incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our Common Stock, as described above; and the costs of retaining an independent inspector of election. To date, we have incurred approximately $[•] of these solicitation costs.
Other Matters
The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters that are to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
