EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2022, originally filed on August 11, 2022 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed solely to amend and
restate Item 1A. (Risk Factors), Item 2 (Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds) and Item 5 (Other
Information) of Part II.
Pursuant
to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Form 10-Q/A also contains new certifications
pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been
included in this Form 10-Q/A and this Form 10-Q/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and
308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except
as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing, and this Form 10-Q/A does not modify, amend or
update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. Except as described below, this
Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the filing date of the Original Filing.
PART II OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there
have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2021. For a further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Shares sold under our ATM Sales Agreement may be subject
to rescission rights and other penalties, requiring us to repurchase shares sold thereunder.
In connection with our August 2021 Controlled
Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), on August 12, 2022, we became aware that our shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (file number 333-231923) (the “Registration Statement”) expired on June 21, 2022. Prior to
becoming aware of the expiration, we sold an aggregate of 3,117,100 shares of our common stock following the expiration of the Registration
Statement and through August 12, 2022 at an average price of approximately $1.44 per share for an aggregate of approximately $4,494,496
(the “Sales”) under the Registration Statement pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Because the Registration Statement had already
expired, the Sales could be determined to be unregistered sales of securities, which could subject us to enforcement actions or penalties
and fines by federal or state regulatory authorities. In accordance with Section 5 of the Securities Act, direct purchasers in the
Sales may have rescission rights pursuant to which they may be entitled to recover the amount paid for such shares, plus statutory interest,
upon returning the shares to us within one year from the transaction date. If all purchasers in the Sales demanded rescission and it was
determined that every such purchaser were entitled to such rights, we may be obligated to repay an aggregate of approximately $4,494,496
for the Sales, excluding statutory interest. If purchasers successfully seek rescission and/or damages, and/or the SEC and/or state securities
agencies impose financial penalties on us which are not covered by insurance, we may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary
payments, and any such claims, damages or penalties could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, business prospects, results
of operations, and financial condition. We cannot predict the likelihood of any claims or actions being brought against us or the amount
of any penalties or fines in connection with the Sales.
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In
connection with the Sales Agreement, on August 12, 2022, we became aware that the Registration Statement expired on June 21,
2022. Prior to becoming aware of the expiration, we sold an aggregate of 3,177,100 shares of our common stock following the expiration
of the Registration Statement and through August 12, 2022 at an average price of approximately $1.44 per share for an aggregate of
approximately $4,494,496 under the Registration Statement pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Because the Registration Statement had already
expired, the Sales could be determined to be unregistered sales of securities, which could subject us to enforcement actions or penalties
and fines by federal or state regulatory authorities. In accordance with Section 5 of the Securities Act, direct purchasers in the
Sales may have rescission rights pursuant to which they may be entitled to recover the amount paid for such shares, plus statutory interest,
upon returning the shares to us within one year from the transaction date. If all purchasers in the Sales demanded rescission and it was
determined that every such purchaser were entitled to such rights, we may be obligated to repay an aggregate of approximately $4,494,496
for the Sales, excluding statutory interest. If purchasers successfully seek rescission and/or damages, and/or the SEC and/or state securities
agencies impose financial penalties on us which are not covered by insurance, we may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary
payments, and any such claims, damages or penalties could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, business prospects, results
of operations, and financial condition. We cannot predict the likelihood of any claims or actions being brought against us or the amount
of any penalties or fines in connection with the Sales. Since becoming aware of the expiration of the Registration Statement, we have
not offered any securities under the Registration Statement, and will not do so until a new shelf registration statement becomes effective.
Item 5.
Other Information.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
In
connection with the Sales Agreement, on August 12, 2022, we became aware that the Registration Statement expired on June 21,
2022. Prior to becoming aware of the expiration, we sold an aggregate of 3,117,100 shares of our common stock following the expiration
of the Registration Statement and August 12, 2022 at an average price of approximately $1.44 per share for an aggregate of approximately
$4,494,496 under the Registration Statement pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Because the Registration Statement had already expired, the
Sales could be determined to be unregistered sales of securities, which could subject us to enforcement actions or penalties and fines
by federal or state regulatory authorities. In accordance with Section 5 of the Securities Act, direct purchasers in the Sales may
have rescission rights pursuant to which they may be entitled to recover the amount paid for such shares, plus statutory interest, upon
returning the shares to us within one year from the transaction date. If all purchasers in the Sales demanded rescission and it was determined
that every such purchaser were entitled to such rights, we may be obligated to repay an aggregate of approximately $4,494,496 for the
Sales, excluding statutory interest. If purchasers successfully seek rescission and/or damages, and/or the SEC and/or state securities
agencies impose financial penalties on us which are not covered by insurance, we may not have sufficient resources to make the necessary
payments, and any such claims, damages or penalties could have a material adverse effect on our stock price, business prospects, results
of operations, and financial condition. We cannot predict the likelihood of any claims or actions being brought against us or the amount
of any penalties or fines in connection with the Sales. Since becoming aware of the expiration of the Registration Statement, we have
not offered any securities under the Registration Statement, and will not do so until a new shelf registration statement becomes effective.
Termination of a Material
Definitive Agreement
As
previously disclosed, on August 12, 2021, we entered into the Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”),
pursuant to which we could offer and sell, at our option, shares of our common stock for aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000,
from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program under which Cantor acted as agent.
On
August 15, 2022, we and Cantor mutually agreed to terminate the Sales Agreement effective immediately. We will not incur any material
early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Sales Agreement.
