Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, we believe that our officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, except for Leonard Mazur, who filed a Form 4 on September 23, 2025 that was due on August 12, 2025.

**Item 11. Executive Compensation**

**Executive Compensation Objectives**

We seek to achieve the following broad goals in our executive compensation programs and decisions regarding individual compensation:

● Attract and retain executives critical to our overall success.

● Reward executives for contributions to achieving strategic goals that enhance stockholder value.

● Foster and maintain a company culture of ownership, creativity and innovation.

● Motivate our executive officers to achieve critical long- and short-term development, product and financial milestones set by the Board of Directors in consultation with management.

**Named Executive Officers**

Our "Named Executive Officers" for the year ended September 30, 2025 consist of Mr. Mazur, who served as our principal executive officer, and Mr. Holubiak, our Executive Vice Chairman, and Dr. Czuczman, our Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, who were the two most highly compensated executive officers other than Mr. Mazur serving as executive officers as of September 30, 2025.

**General Compensation Process**

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the elements and levels of compensation for our Named Executive Officers. In doing so, the Compensation Committee reviews our corporate performance against financial and corporate achievement measures, assesses individual performance and evaluates recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer regarding compensation for other Named Executive Officers. Deliberations of the Compensation Committee may occur within a meeting of the full Board of Directors at which all members of the Compensation Committee are in attendance and the Board may take action in such meetings upon the advice of the Compensation Committee Chair and/or its members.

To assist in its deliberations regarding executive compensation, the Compensation Committee may from time to time engage an independent Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee did not engage a Compensation Consultant during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

**Components of Compensation** 

The key components of our executive compensation package are cash compensation (salary and annual bonuses), long-term equity incentive awards and change in control provisions in employment agreements. These components are administered with the goal of providing total compensation that recognizes meaningful differences in individual performance, is competitive, varies the opportunity based on individual and corporate performance, and is valued by our Named Executive Officers.

 ****

*Base Salary*

 

It is the Compensation Committee's objective to set a competitive rate of annual base salary for each Named Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee believes competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain top quality executives, since it is common practice for public companies to provide their named executive officers with a guaranteed annual component of compensation that is not subject to performance risk. The Compensation Committee, on its own or with outside consultants, may establish salary ranges for our Named Executive Officers, with minimum to maximum opportunities that cover the normal range of market variability. The actual base salary for each Named Executive Officer is then derived from those salary ranges based on his responsibility, tenure and past performance and market comparability. Annual base salaries for the Named Executive Officers are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Changes in base salary are based on the scope of an individual's current job responsibilities, individual performance in the previous performance year, target pay position relative to the peer group, and our salary budget guidelines. The Compensation Committee reviews established goals and objectives, and determines an individual's achievement of those goals and objectives and considers the recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer to assist it in determining appropriate salaries for the Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

The base salary information for our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2024 and 2025 is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below. We entered into an employment agreement with each of Leonard Mazur, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Board Chairman, Myron Holubiak, our Executive-Vice Chairman, and Dr. Myron Czuczman in October 2017, March 2016 and July 2020 respectively. We entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Myron Holubiak on April 12, 2022, effective May 1, 2022, subsequently amended on September 25, 2024, effective May 31, 2024, and December 23, 2025, effective October 31, 2025. These agreements provide for a salary for each Named Executive Officer and are described under the caption "*Employment Agreements"* below.

 ****

 ****

*Annual Bonuses (Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation)*

 

As part of their compensation package, and pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements, our Named Executive Officers generally have the opportunity to earn annual non-equity incentive bonuses. Annual non-equity incentive bonuses are designed to reward superior executive performance while reinforcing our short-term strategic operating goals. Annual bonus targets as a percentage of salary increase with executive rank so that for the more senior executives, a greater proportion of their total cash compensation is contingent upon annual performance. Each year the Compensation Committee establishes corporate goals for our Company in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, with weights assigned to each goal, depending on the extent to which each Named Executive Officer is responsible for each specific goal. The extent to which these goals are met will determine the amount of the non-equity bonus that each Named Executive Officer receives. Pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements, the target award for each Named Executive Officer is based on a percentage of his base salary, and subject to the applicable terms in his individual employment agreement. Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, Mr. Mazur, Mr. Holubiak, and Dr. Czuczman are each eligible for an annual bonus, which may equal up to 50%, 50%, and 35%, respectively, of his base salary then in effect, as determined by our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.

For fiscal 2025, the annual non-equity incentive bonuses for our executive officers were based on the achievement of company goals during fiscal 2025 and related to financing of the Company and Citius Oncology, improving the Company's burn rate, the clinical development of Mino-Lok, and the launch and commercialization of LYMPHIR. These specific goals were evaluated and selected because they were considered key drivers for creating and growing Company value. For fiscal 2025, Mr. Mazur, Mr. Holubiak and Dr. Czuczman were potentially entitled to cash bonuses of up to $237,500, $225,000 and $157,500, respectively. The corporate goals for fiscal 2025 were met, which resulted in 90% achievement of the goals. Based on this achievement, the Board of Directors approved the following payments of cash compensation: Mr. Mazur, $213,750, Mr. Holubiak, $202,500 and Dr. Czuczman, $141,750.

*Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards*

 

We believe that long-term corporate success is achieved with an ownership culture that encourages high performance by our employees through the use of stock-based awards. Our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, 2018 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, 2020 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, 2021 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and 2023 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan were each established to provide our employees, including our Named Executive Officers, with incentives to help align employees' interests with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of stock-based awards offers the best approach to achieving our compensation goals of incentivizing long-term performance. We have historically elected to use stock options as the primary long-term equity incentive vehicle; however, the Compensation Committee has the ability under our stock plans to grant restricted stock and other equity awards as part of our long-term incentive program. We have selected the Black-Scholes method of valuation for stock-based compensation. Due to the early stage of most of our product candidates and our desire to preserve cash for their development, we may provide a greater portion of total compensation to our Named Executive Officers through stock options or other equity awards than through cash-based compensation. The Compensation Committee generally oversees the administration of our stock plans. The 2023 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan is the only plan under which equity grants may be made at this time because all of the shares reserved under the 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2021 plans have been allocated to outstanding or expired awards.

*Stock Options*

Our 2023 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as did our prior plans, authorizes us to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to our employees, directors and consultants.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves stock option awards to Named Executive Officers based upon a review of competitive compensation data, an assessment of individual performance, a review of each Named Executive Officer's existing long-term incentives, and retention considerations. Periodic stock option grants are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to eligible employees and, in appropriate circumstances, after consideration of any recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer.

Stock options granted to employees have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the day of grant, typically vest over a time or upon the achievement of certain performance-based milestones and are based upon continued employment, and generally expire 10 years after the date of grant. The fair value of the options granted to the Named Executive Officers and reflected in the Summary Compensation Table is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes method of valuation for share-based compensation. Incentive stock options also include certain other terms necessary to ensure compliance with the Code.

We expect to continue to use stock options as a long-term incentive vehicle because:

● Stock options align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with those of our stockholders, supporting a pay-for performance culture, foster employee stock ownership, and focus the management team on increasing value for our stockholders.

● Stock options are performance-based. All of the value received by the recipient of a stock option is based on the growth of the stock price. In addition, stock options can be issued with vesting based on the achievement of specified milestones although we have not used such performance-based vesting to date.

● Stock options help provide balance to the overall executive compensation program as base salary and annual bonuses focus on short-term compensation, while stock options focus on long-term compensation.

● The vesting period of stock options over time encourages executive retention and is designed to increase stockholder value. In determining the number of stock options to be granted to our Named Executive Officers, we take into account the individual's position, scope of responsibility, ability to affect profits and stockholder value and the individual's historic and recent performance and the value of stock options in relation to other elements of the individual Named Executive Officer's total compensation.

**Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information**

While we do not have a formal written policy in place with regard to the timing of awards of options or similar awards in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information, our equity awards are generally granted on fixed dates determined in advance. On limited occasions, our Compensation Committee or Board may grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes.

The Committee approves all equity award grants on or before the grant date and does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information. Similarly, the Committee does not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates.

The following table contains information required by Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K about stock options granted to the Company's NEOs in the last completed fiscal year during the period from four business days before to one business day after the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or the filing or furnishing of any Current Report on Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.

**Executive Benefits and Perquisites**

Our Named Executive Officers, all of whom currently are parties to employment agreements, will continue to be parties to such agreements in their current form until the expiration or termination of the employment agreement or until such time as the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion that revisions to such agreements are advisable. In addition, consistent with our compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain our current benefits for our Named Executive Officers, including medical, dental and life insurance and the ability to contribute to a 401(k) plan; however, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may revise, amend or add to the officer's executive benefits if it deems it advisable. We believe these benefits are currently comparable to benefit levels for comparable companies.

**Pension Benefits**

We do not maintain any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans. As a result, none of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. Our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified benefit plans in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation**

None of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in nonqualified defined contribution plans or other non-qualified deferred compensation plans maintained by us. Our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors may elect to provide our officers and other employees with non-qualified defined contribution or other non-qualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.

We did not engage in any repricings or other modifications to any of our executive officers' outstanding options during the year ended September 30, 2025.

**Employment Agreements**

*Leonard Mazur*

On October 19, 2017, the Company and Leonard L. Mazur, the Company's Executive Chairman and Secretary of the Company's Board of Directors, entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Mazur Employment Agreement") with the following terms:

*Compensation and Benefits*. In exchange for his services with the Company, Mr. Mazur is entitled to an annual salary, currently $475,000, subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors, and is eligible for an annual bonus of up to 50% of his annual salary. Mr. Mazur's bonus is based on his attainment of certain financial, clinical development and business milestones, as established annually by the Board. Mr. Mazur is also entitled to participate in any benefit plans that the Company may from time to time establish and have in effect for all or most of its senior executives.

*Term and Termination*. The Mazur Employment Agreement had an initial three-year initial term that ended on October 19, 2020, but which automatically renews for additional one-year terms unless terminated by the Company or by Mr. Mazur. Pursuant to this provision, the Mazur Employment Agreement has been extended for an additional one-year period, most recently on October 19, 2025. If the Company terminates Mr. Mazur's employment for Cause or if Mr. Mazur resigns without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Mazur Employment Agreement), he will be entitled only to payment of his accrued compensation as of such date. If the Company terminates Mr. Mazur's employment without Cause or Mr. Mazur resigns for Good Reason, then conditioned upon Mr. Mazur executing a release following such termination, Mr. Mazur will continue to receive his annual salary and certain benefits for a period of 12 months following the effective date of the termination of his employment. In addition, the portion of Mr. Mazur's unvested options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock that would have vested at the next immediate vesting event following his termination date will vest and become immediately exercisable upon his termination date. In the event Mr. Mazur is terminated under either of these circumstances within 90 days prior to a Change of Control (as defined in the Mazur Employment Agreement) or within two years following a Change of Control, Mr. Mazur will receive a lump sum payment for 18 months' salary, continue to receive benefits for a period of 18 months, and all of Mr. Mazur's unvested Company stock options will vest and become immediately exercisable.

If Mr. Mazur's employment is relieved during a period of Disability (as defined in the Mazur Employment Agreement), notwithstanding any removal or reassignment, he will continue to receive his full salary, subject to certain adjustments that may apply, for up to 90 consecutive days or 180 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 12-month period.

*Appointment to Board of Directors*. In connection with Mr. Mazur's employment, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause Mr. Mazur to be elected as a member of the Board and to include him in management's slate of nominees for election to the Board at every stockholders meeting during the term of the Mazur Employment Agreement at which Mr. Mazur's term as a director would otherwise expire. In addition, Mr. Mazur agrees to accept election, and to serve during the term of the Mazur Employment Agreement, as a member of the Board without any compensation other than as specified in the Mazur Employment Agreement.

*Covenants*. The Mazur Employment Agreement also includes certain non-competition and non-solicitation of customer and employee restrictions during Mr. Mazur's employment and for a period of nine months and 24 months, respectively, following any termination of employment, in addition to other customary terms, including provisions covering confidentiality and return of Company property.

 

*Myron Holubiak* 

On March 30, 2016, in connection with the merger by and among the Company, Citius LMB Acquisition Corp. and LMB, the Company's Board of Directors appointed Myron Holubiak to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Holubiak Employment Agreement"). The Holubiak Employment Agreement was amended and restated effective as of May 1, 2022, and further amended on September 25, 2024 and December 23, 2025, with the following terms:

 

*Compensation and Benefits*. In exchange for his services as Executive Vice Chairman of the Company, Mr. Holubiak is entitled to an annual salary, currently $450,000, subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors, and eligible for an annual bonus of up to 50% of his annual salary. Mr. Holubiak's bonus is based on his attainment of certain financial, clinical development and business milestones, as established annually by the Board. Mr. Holubiak is entitled to participate in any benefit plans that the Company may from time to time establish and have in effect for all or most of its senior executives.

*Term and Termination*. The Holubiak Employment Agreement had an 18-month initial term, followed by an additional 12-month period, and would terminate at the conclusion of such additional period on October 31, 2024, which was subsequently extended to October 31, 2025 and then October 31, 2026. If the Company terminates Mr. Holubiak's employment for Cause or if Mr. Holubiak resigns without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Holubiak Employment Agreement), he will be entitled only to payment of his accrued compensation as of such date. If Mr. Holubiak's employment is terminated as a result of his Disability (as defined in the Holubiak Employment Agreement), if the Company terminates Mr. Holubiak's employment without Cause or if Mr. Holubiak resigns for Good Reason, then conditioned upon Mr. Holubiak executing a release following such termination, Mr. Holubiak will continue to receive his annual salary and certain benefits for the remaining period of the then-current term or a period of six months following the effective date of the termination of his employment, whichever is longer. In the event Mr. Holubiak is terminated in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Holubiak Employment Agreement) or within six months following a Change of Control, Mr. Holubiak will receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary due for the remainder of the then-current term, his full annual bonus, and continue to receive benefits for the remainder of the then-current term.

*Covenants*. The Holubiak Employment Agreement also includes certain non-competition and non-solicitation of customer and employee restrictions during Mr. Holubiak's employment and for a period of 12 months following any termination of employment, in addition to other customary terms, including provisions covering confidentiality and assignment of inventions.

*Myron S. Czuczman, M.D.*

On July 14, 2020, Myron Czuczman was hired to serve as the Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President of the Company and entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Czuczman Employment Agreement") with the following terms:

*Compensation and Benefits*. In exchange for his services with the Company, Dr. Czuczman will receive an annual base salary, currently $450,000, subject to adjustment by the Board, and is eligible for an annual bonus of up to 35% of his annual salary. Dr. Czuczman's bonus is based on his attainment of certain financial, clinical development and business milestones, as established annually by the Board. Dr. Czuczman is also entitled to participate in any benefit plans that the Company may from time to time establish and have in effect for all or most of its senior executives.

*Term and Termination*. Under the Czuczman Employment Agreement, Dr. Czuczman's employment is at will and continues until terminated by either party. If the Company terminates Dr. Czuczman's employment for Cause or if Dr. Czuczman resigns without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Czuczman Employment Agreement), he will be entitled only to payment of his accrued compensation as of such date. If the Company terminates Dr. Czuczman's employment without Cause or Dr. Czuczman resigns for Good Reason, then conditioned upon Dr. Czuczman executing a release following such termination, Dr. Czuczman will continue to receive his annual salary and certain benefits for a period of 12 months following the effective date of the termination of his employment and his annual bonus prorated based on the date of termination. The definition of Good Reason includes any "Change in Control", which is defined as including the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, any merger, consolidation or acquisition of the Company by or into another party, entity or person, and or any change in the ownership of more than 50% of the voting capital stock of the Company in one or more related transactions.

*Covenants*. The Czuczman Employment Agreement also includes certain non-competition and non-solicitation of customer and employee restrictions during Dr. Czuczman's employment and for a period of six months following any termination of employment, in addition to other customary terms, including provisions covering confidentiality and assignment of inventions.

**Warrant Extension**

On August 8, 2025, we extended the term by one year to September 27, 2026, for an aggregate of 111,732 warrants with an exercise price of $19.25 per share of common stock. The warrants are held by Leonard Mazur, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Myron Holubiak, the Company's Executive Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors, and were originally issued in September 2019 in an underwritten at-the-market offering (the "2019 Offering") conducted by H. C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright"). Mr. Mazur and Mr. Holubiak participated in the offering on the same basis as all other investors. Additionally, 7,774 warrants with an exercise price of $27.97 per share issued in connection with the 2019 Offering were extended by one year to September 27, 2026. The underwriter warrants are held by certain representatives of Wainwright or their assignees. There are no other warrants remaining outstanding from the 2019 Offering and if such warrants were to be fully exercised, we would receive approximately $2.4 million in cash proceeds.

In both of August 2024 and August 2025, we extended the term by one year to August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026, respectively, for an aggregate of 156,863 warrants with an exercise price of $28.75 per share of common stock. The warrants are held by Mr. Mazur and Mr. Holubiak, and were originally issued in August 2018 in a private placement conducted simultaneously with a registered direct offering of shares of common stock (the "2018 Offering") managed by Wainwright. Mr. Mazur and Mr. Holubiak participated in the private placement on the same basis as all other investors. Additionally, 7,576 placement agent warrants with an exercise price of $39.84 per share issued in connection with the 2018 Offering were extended in one-year increments to August 8, 2025 and then to August 8, 2026. Such placement agent warrants are held by certain representatives of Wainwright. There are no other warrants remaining outstanding from the 2018 Offering and if such warrants are fully exercised, we would receive $4,811,680 in cash proceeds.

On April 3, 2024, we extended the term by one year to April 5, 2025 for warrants to purchase 51,780 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $35.50 per share of common stock. The warrants are held by Mr. Mazur and Myron Holubiak and were originally issued in April 2019 in a registered direct offering of common stock managed by Wainwright. Mr. Mazur and Mr. Holubiak participated in the offering on the same basis as all other investors. Additionally, 9,605 placement agent warrants with an exercise price of $48.28 per share issued in connection with the registered direct offering were extended by one-year to April 5, 2025. These warrants are held by certain representatives of Wainwright. The terms of the warrants were previously extended in April 2021 to April 5, 2024. If these warrants are fully exercised, we would receive approximately $2.3 million in cash proceeds. The warrants expired on April 5, 2025.

**Procedures for Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons**

Pursuant to the Audit and Risk Committee charter, the Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, after reviewing each such transaction for potential conflicts of interests and other improprieties. Our policies and procedures for review and approval of transactions with related persons are in writing in our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct available under the *Investors-Governance-Governance Documents* section of our website at *www.citiuspharma.com*.

**Board of Directors Independence**

After review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each nominee for director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and Wolf, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of Directors has determined that all of the Company's directors are independent within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards, except Leonard Mazur, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, and Myron Holubiak, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Company, due to their employment with the Company.
