This Amendment No. 2 to Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 2”) amends the Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2024 (the “Original Report”) as amended on March 7, 2025 (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to provide an update to the information contained in Amendment No. 1.
 
Item 2.01
 
As previously reported in the Original Report and in Amendment No. 1, on December 19, 2024, Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its purchase (the “Acquisition”) of the Increlex product from Ipsen S.A. (“Ipsen”) and was subsequently unable to provide separate historical audited financial statements and unaudited pro forma financial information for Increlex (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), specified by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, by March 7, 2025, the date by which the Financial Statements were required to be provided.  In Amendment No. 1, the Company disclosed, inter alia, that it had requested a waiver from the Financial Statements filing requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to report that, following discussions with the SEC surrounding the uniqueness of the accounting treatment associated with the transaction, the Company has withdrawn the waiver request and is in the process of preparing the Financial Statements.  The Company currently estimates that it will have the Financial Statements prepared and filed in the third quarter of 2025, though there are several factors that could result in the delay of the Financial Statements being completed and filed by that time.
 
The foregoing description of the Acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Original Report and Amendment No. 1 which are incorporated herein by reference. The summary is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company in its public reports filed with the SEC.
 
Item 8.01
 
The information contained in Item 2.01 is hereby incorporated into this Item 8.01.
