Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 3, 2005, Emisphere Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) re-filed its Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Number 333-117230) (“Amendment No. 2”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission utilizing a “shelf” registration process.  The Company had previously attempted to file Amendment No. 2 on February 1, 2005; however, a “tag” error caused the filing to be made under the incorrect form type.  To correct this error, the Company has filed a Form RW requesting that the erroneous filing be withdrawn and, as stated, has re-filed Amendment No. 2 under the correct form type.  No changes or modifications were made to Amendment No. 2 between the filing on February 1, 2005 and the filing on March 3, 2005.
