Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information under Item 5.02 below concerning the grant of stock options to Richard C. Williams, Robert B. Rothermel and John Q. Adams, Sr., is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On February 12, 2008, Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cellegy,” the “Company” or the “Registrant,” and Cellegy before the effective time of the merger sometimes referred to as “Old Cellegy”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the agreement, as amended, referred to as the “Merger Agreement”) with Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Adamis” or “Old Adamis”), a Delaware corporation, and Cellegy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellegy (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of Cellegy by Adamis.  The Merger Agreement provided that Merger Sub will merge with and into Adamis, with Adamis becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellegy and the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”).
 
The stockholders of Old Cellegy and Old Adamis approved the transaction at a special meeting of Adamis stockholders held on March 23, 2009, and at an annual meeting of Old Cellegy’s stockholders held on March 23, 2009.
 
Effective as of April 1, 2009, Adamis and Cellegy completed the Merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In connection with the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company changed its name from Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Old Adamis changed its corporate name to Adamis Corporation.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately before the consummation of the Merger Old Cellegy effected a reverse stock split of its common stock.  Pursuant to this reverse stock split, each 9.929060333 shares of common stock of Old Cellegy that were issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time was converted into one share of common stock of the Company and any remaining fractional shares held by a stockholder (after the aggregating fractional shares) were rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Split”).
 
As a result, the total number of shares of Old Cellegy that were outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger were converted into approximately 3,000,000 shares of post-reverse split shares of common stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Adamis common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger ceased to be outstanding and was converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company.  As a result, the Company expects to issue approximately 42,978,067 post-reverse split shares of common stock of the Company to persons who were holders of outstanding shares of common stock of Old Adamis before the effective time of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding stock option, warrant, convertible security and other right to purchase or acquire the capital stock of Adamis was assumed by the Company and became an option, warrant, convertible security or other right to purchase or acquire shares of common stock of the Company, with the number of shares and exercise prices proportionately adjusted based on the exchange ratio in the Merger.  Because the exchange ratio in the Merger is one-for-one, the exercise prices and numbers of shares covered by outstanding Adamis warrants that the Company assumed in the Merger remained the same after the Merger.  As a result, outstanding Adamis warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Adamis common stock were assumed by the Company in the Merger and were converted into a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
 
The Cellegy common stock will continue to trade on a pre-reverse split basis under the current trading symbol “CLGY.OB” until trading on a post-reverse split basis under a new trading symbol is approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is reflected on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Also in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 175,000,000 and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.

The Company’s stockholders also approved a new 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which became effective upon the closing of the Merger.  The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation (collectively “stock awards”).  In addition, the Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued initially pursuant to stock awards under the Plan is 7,000,000 shares.  The number of shares reserved of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, from January 1, 2010 through and including January 1, 2019, by the lesser of (a) 5.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year or (b) a lesser number of shares of common stock determined by our board of directors before the start of a calendar year for which an increase applies.  Additional information concerning the Plan is included in the Form S-4 registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registration no. 333-155322, and the joint proxy statement/prospectus included therein (the “Registration Statement” or the “Proxy Statement”), and is incorporated herein by reference.
  
Additional disclosure, including information regarding the Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Company and Adamis, and the other matters described above, is included in the Proxy Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 3.03 
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
 
The description of the Reverse Split under Item 2.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.  After the effective time of the Reverse Split, record owners of shares of Old Cellegy will be notified in a letter of transmittal that the reverse stock split has been effected.  Record holders of pre-split shares may surrender their pre-split certificates in accordance with procedures to be described in the letter of transmittal, and will receive a notification and statement of ownership concerning the number of post-reverse split shares that they hold.  The transfer agent may hold post-reverse split shares in a Direct Registration System (DRS) electronic book-entry system account managed by the transfer agent.  Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares pursuant to procedures to be described in the letter of transmittal.  Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not submit any certificates unless and until requested to do so.
 
As a result of the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01, holders of certificates representing shares of Adamis common stock will be asked to surrender their certificates representing such shares of Adamis common stock in order to receive the shares of the Company to which they are entitled as a result of the Merger.

Item 5.01. 
Changes in Control of Registrant.
 
On April 1, 2009, as a result of the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01, which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01, the former Adamis stockholders, together with the holders of converted Adamis warrants, became entitled to receive shares of Company common stock, warrants and options representing in the aggregate approximately 93.6% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately following the closing of the Merger.

Item 5.02.

Williams resigned as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Robert J. Caso resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Adamis, Sr., Robert B. Rothermel and Thomas M. Steinberg, to the Cellegy board of directors.  As contemplated by the Merger Agreement and disclosed in the Proxy Statement, at the closing of the Merger two Cellegy directors, Tobi B. Klar, M.D. and Thomas M. Steinberg, resigned, and three additional persons, Dennis J. Carlo, Ph.D., David J. Marguglio and Richard L.

Compensatory Arrangements; Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

Under the provisions of the Plan relating to non-employee directors, each non-employee director who is a member of the board of directors on or effective as of the closing of the Merger, and any person who thereafter becomes a non-employee director, will automatically receive an initial grant of a nonstatutory option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock upon such person’s election or appointment.  These initial grants will vest 50% on the grant date, with the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over a period of three years from the grant date.  In addition, any person who is a non-employee director immediately after the annual meeting of our stockholders automatically will be granted, on the annual meeting date, beginning with our first annual meeting of stockholders after the closing of the Merger, a nonstatutory option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, or the annual grant, subject to adjustment of the board of directors from time to time.  These annual grants will vest in equal monthly installments over three years from the grant date.  In the event of certain corporate transactions, including change in control transactions, the vesting of options held by non-employee directors whose service has not terminated generally will be accelerated in full, and if the director ceases to serve as a director as a result of the transaction, the director will have 12 months from the date of cessation of service within which to exercise the option.
 
Consistent with the foregoing provisions and as described in the Proxy Statement, Richard C. Williams, Robert B. Rothermel and John Q. Adams, Sr., who were directors of Old Cellegy and who continued as directors of the Company, each were granted a new non-employee director stock option to purchase 50,000 post-reverse split shares of common stock, effective immediately after the effective time of the Merger.  The exercise price of these options was equal to $0.60 per share, which was the closing price of the common stock on a pre-reverse split basis on the date of grant, multiplied by the ratio of the reverse stock split (and rounded up to the nearest cent).  The options vest and become exercisable as to 50% of the total shares subject to the option on the date of grant, with the balance vesting in equal monthly installments over a period of three years from the grant date, so long as the non-employee director continuously remains a director, consultant or employee of the company.   In addition, following the Merger, outside directors will be eligible to receive cash outside director fee compensation pursuant to the Company’s director compensation policies.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan
 
As described in Item 2.01 above, the Plan became effective as of the effective time of the Merger.  Directors, officers and employees of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the Plan.  The description of the Plan set forth in Item 2.01 above, and in the section of the Proxy Statement entitled “Cellegy Proposal 5: Approval of 2009 Equity Incentive Plan,” are incorporated herein by reference.  Copies the Plan and related forms were filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are incorporated by reference herein.  The foregoing description of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.

Change in Fiscal Year
