EXPLANATORY NOTE
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2016, solely to refile Exhibit 23.01, Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, to this Amendment. Exhibit 23.01 that was filed with the Form 10-K was a draft and the final version was inadvertently omitted from the original filing of the Form 10-K.
As required by the applicable rules, currently-dated Section 302 certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are included as exhibits to this Amendment. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except as described above, no other revisions or amendments have been made to any other portion of the Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred after March 3, 2016, the date of the original filing of the Form 10-K, or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.
