If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

**PART I - REGISTRANT INFORMATION** 

**Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.**

Full Name of Registrant

Former Name if Applicable

**9715 Key West Avenue**

(Address of principal executive offices)

**Rockville, MD 20850**

(City, State and Zip Code)

------

**PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)** 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

(a) The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense

(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

**PART III - NARRATIVE** 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). The Company is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to complete its financial statements and assessment of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the foregoing, KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has not yet completed its audit procedures.

Based upon currently available information, the Company expects to report one or more material weaknesses in its internal controls and expects its internal control over financial reporting will be ineffective as of December 31, 2022. The material weaknesses have not resulted in any material misstatements or omissions in previously reported financial statements.

The Company does not anticipate any material changes to the financial information furnished with the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023. The Company anticipates that the Form 10-K will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
