Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 11, 2018, CytRx Corporation ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 5,600,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per share for gross proceeds of $7.0 million (the "Offering"). The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the investors, and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. We also agreed in the Securities Purchase Agreement to indemnify the investors against certain liabilities. The closing of the transaction occurred on May 15, 2018.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217184) that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and declared effective on April 21, 2017.
H. C. Wainwright & Co.

We have agreed to pay Wainwright a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and to reimburse Wainwright for certain expenses incurred by it.
