Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2025, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), which amends the Section 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2020 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. Effective as of June 2, 2021, the Company amended the Rights Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to extend the Final Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on August 13, 2021 to the close of business on June 2, 2024. Effective as of May 16, 2024, the Company amended the Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to extend the Final Expiration Date of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on June 2, 2024 to the close of business on March 31, 2025. Effective as of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to extend the Final Expiration Date of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on March 31, 2025 to the close of business on June 30, 2026. On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment, to amend the Final Expiration Date of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on June 30, 2026 to the close of business on September 30, 2025. On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to amend the Final Expiration Date of the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from the close of business on September 30, 2025 to the close of business on December 31, 2025. Except for the adjustment to the Final Expiration Date, the Rights Agreement otherwise remains unmodified.

The Fifth Amendment has been adopted because the Company’s management believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide for a Final Expiration Date of December 31, 2025, as established in the Fifth Amendment.
