ITEM 1. GENERAL INFORMATION.
(a) NeoTherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 8, 1997. As used in
this registration statement, the terms "Registrant" and "NeoTherapeutics
Delaware" refer to NeoTherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the term
"Company" refers to Registrant and its predecessor.
(b) The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31 of each
year.
ITEM 2. TRANSACTION OF SUCCESSION.
(a) The predecessor of NeoTherapeutics Delaware was a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, also named
NeoTherapeutics, Inc. ("NeoTherapeutics Colorado"). The Common Stock, no par
value, of NeoTherapeutics Colorado as well as Common Stock Purchase Warrants of
NeoTherapeutics Colorado were registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at the time of the succession.
(b) Registrant was incorporated in Delaware on May 8, 1997,
and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NeoTherapeutics Colorado. On June 17,
1997, the shareholders of NeoTherapeutics Colorado approved a merger (the
"Merger") of NeoTherapeutics Colorado with and into Registrant for the purpose
of changing the state of incorporation of NeoTherapeutics Colorado from Colorado
to Delaware. The Merger was effected pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between Registrant and NeoTherapeutics
Colorado, and became effective on June 18, 1997. Registrant is the surviving
corporation in the Merger.
A more complete description of the Merger is contained in the
Proxy Statement dated May 8, 1997, for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of
NeoTherapeutics Colorado held on June 17, 1997. A copy of that Proxy Statement
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 1997, and is
incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 2.1 to this registration statement.
Upon the effectiveness of the Merger each outstanding share of
NeoTherapeutics Colorado Common Stock, without par value, was automatically
converted into one share of NeoTherapeutics Delaware Common Stock, $.001 par
value, and each NeoTherapeutics Colorado Common Stock Purchase Warrant, which
entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of NeoTherapeutics Colorado
Common Stock, without par value, was automatically converted into one
NeoTherapeutics Delaware Common Stock Purchase Warrant, which entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one share of NeoTherapeutics Delaware Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share, on the same terms and conditions as the
NeoTherapeutics Colorado Common Stock Purchase Warrant. No other shares of
capital stock of Registrant were issued in connection with the Merger.
Therefore, there were outstanding immediately after the effective date of the
Merger the same number of shares of Registrant's Common Stock and Common Stock
Purchase Warrants as there were shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase
Warrants of NeoTherapeutics Colorado outstanding immediately prior to the
effective date of the Merger.
ITEM 3. SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
There are presently 25,000,000 shares of Registrant's Common
Stock authorized, of which 5,371,807 shares are presently issued and
outstanding. No shares are held by or for the account of Registrant.
There are presently issued and outstanding Common Stock
Purchase Warrants which entitle the holders thereof to purchase, in the
aggregate, 2,700,000 shares of Registrant's Common Stock. No Common Stock
Purchase Warrants are held by or for the account of Registrant.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
The description of the Registrant's securities is hereby
incorporated by reference to the section entitled "Description of Capital Stock"
in the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-05342-LA, filed
by NeoTherapeutics Colorado under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration
