Item 8.01

Other Events

On July 12, 2017, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is a universal shelf that will allow the Company to issue up to $150 million of its securities in offerings of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, or debt securities (including debt securities that may be convertible or exchangeable for common stock or other securities). The terms of sales of any such securities will be at prices and on such terms as are set forth on one or more prospectus supplements to the Registration Statement that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in advance of any such sales. The Company has filed the Registration Statement so that it is in a position to raise capital in the future. However, the Company has no current plans to make any sales of the securities being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC, and none of the securities being registered in the Registration Statement may be offered for sale or sold until the Registration Statement has become effective. Any offer of the securities being registered in the Registration Statement will be solely by means of a prospectus included in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement that may be issued with respect to any such future offerings. You may obtain copies of the Registration Statement by visiting the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website, www.catalystpharma.com, or by visiting the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
