Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Enzon Pharmaceuticals names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 2, 2026: 15 risks under these headings, as written.16

  • Risks Related to the Merger and Merger Agreement
  • The interests of our significant stockholders may conflict with the interests of other stockholders.
  • Our stockholders (other than Carl Icahn, IEH and their respective affiliates) will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Merger. Having a minority share position will reduce the influence that the pre-closing stockholders (other than Carl Icahn, IEH and their respective affiliates) have on the management of the post-merger combined company (the “Combined Company”) following the Merger.
  • Carl C. Icahn, IEH and their respective affiliates will exert significant influence on the Company after the Merger and non-IEH stockholders will have limited governance rights.
  • Following completion of the Merger, as a result of Viskase’s operations, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
  • We may not be able to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), certain credits and other tax attributes following the completion of the Merger.
  • The Merger is subject to a number of closing conditions and, if these conditions are not satisfied, the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Merger may not be completed. In addition, the parties have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under other specified circumstances, in which case the Merger would not be completed.
  • The Merger Agreement limits Enzon’s ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.
  • We have incurred direct and indirect costs as a result of the Merger and we may incur additional direct and indirect costs whether or not the Merger is consummated.
  • If the Merger is not completed, the business, financial results and stock prices of Enzon could be adversely affected.
  • Our sources of revenue are limited and we expect only limited revenue and profitability for the foreseeable future if the Merger is not completed.
  • Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
The other 5 risks
  • The price of our Common Stock has historically been volatile and may decline significantly.
  • Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc., which has a very limited trading market and, therefore, market liquidity for our Common Stock is low and our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of our Common Stock may be limited.
  • Risks Relating to the Series C Preferred Stock
  • Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
  • There is no public market for the Series C Preferred Stock.
  • Except for those holders of Series C Preferred Stock that elect to participate in the Series C Exchange Offer, the Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of Common Stock.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we may be engaged in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any litigation and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us.
