Item 1.01.
Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
 
Underwriting Agreement
 
On June 3, 2026, NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters listed in Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”) in connection with a public offering of an aggregate of 5,714,286 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by the Company at a price to the public of $3.50 per share (the “Offering”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 857,142 additional shares of Common Stock.
 
The Company estimates that the net proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $18.8 million (or $21.6 million, if the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock is exercised in full), in each case, after deducting compensation payable in connection with the offering and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. 
 
The Offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-288205) that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on December 22, 2025 and a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus, which were filed with the SEC.
 
The Offering closed on June 4, 2026.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities. In addition, the Company and the Company’s directors and executive officers also agreed not to sell or transfer any Common Stock without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, for sixty (60) days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and incorporate herein by reference, the full text thereof, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1.
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
 
Item 8.01.
