Item 8.01. Other Events.
In its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2015, as amended on April 29, 2015, CTI BioPharma Corp. (the “Company”) made reference to the rescheduling of the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”).
This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report that the date of the Annual Meeting has been scheduled for September 23, 2015. The record date for the Annual Meeting has been set as the close of business on July 22, 2015. Because the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, the deadline for the submission of proposals by shareholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 14a-8”), will be the close of business on July 1, 2015, which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. The deadline of July 1, 2015 applies only to shareholder proposals that are eligible for inclusion in the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8. To be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials, shareholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 and with the Company’s bylaws. Such proposals should be delivered to: CTI BioPharma Corp., 3101 Western Avenue, Suite 600, Seattle, Washington 98121, Attention: Secretary.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
