Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on November 17, 2023, Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chapter 11 Case”). The Chapter 11 Case is being administered under caption and case number: In re: Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-11878.

On December 21, 2023, the Company and the Debtors filed monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court for the period covering November 17, 2023 through the month ended November 30, 2023 (the “Monthly Operating Reports”). The Monthly Operating Reports are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company will file, under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K, its periodic financial reports filed with the Bankruptcy Court, as well as other material financial information concerning developments in its bankruptcy proceedings, in lieu of filing the Company’s annual and quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Cautionary Note Regarding the Monthly Operating Reports

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any Company securities. The Monthly Operating Reports are limited in scope and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Reports were not reviewed by independent accountants, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and are subject to future adjustment. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Reports is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. The Monthly Operating Reports also relate to a period that is different from the historical periods required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Case. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Chapter 11 Case and the Company’s ability to continue operating in the ordinary course while the Chapter 11 Case is pending, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “potential,” “projects,” “target,” “will,” “would” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. These statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (i) potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations; (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain timely approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the motions filed in the Chapter 11 Case; (iii) employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; (iv) the Company’s ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties and regulatory authorities as a result of the Chapter 11 Case; (v) the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, including holders of the Company’s common stock; (vi) the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case generally; (vii) the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case; (viii) risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Case; (ix) increased administrative and legal costs related to the Chapter 11 process; (x) exposure to potential litigation and inherent risks involved in a bankruptcy process; (xi) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; (xii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the bankruptcy proceedings of the Company; (xiii) risks arising from the delisting of the Company’s common stock from The NYSE American, LLC; (xiv) risks relating to the Company’s attempts to confirm its Chapter 11 plan, including the risk that the Chapter 11 plan may not be accepted by the Company’s creditors or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court; and (xv) other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual or quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The forward-looking statements herein do not constitute guarantees of future performance, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
