Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 10, 2014, SIGA Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SIGA”), issued a press release announcing that, on August 8, 2014, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued its decision on remand in the litigation begun by PharmAthene, Inc. in 2006. The Delaware Court of Chancery determined, among other things, that PharmAthene, Inc. is entitled to a lump sum damage award in a still unspecified amount, with interest and fees, based on U. S. Government purchases of SIGA's smallpox drug supposedly anticipated in 2006. The total award is likely to be substantial, but it will not be established until after the Delaware Court of Chancery considers certain calculations from experts and the agreement or input of each of SIGA and PharmAthene, Inc.
