RISK FACTORS

The following paragraphs are added to and supplements the risk factors found in the section titled "RISK FACTORS - Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock" contained on page S-4 of Prospectus Supplements:

The Company has been named in a complaint seeking repayment of certain amounts payable under a convertible promissory note totaling approximately $6.5 million as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, and seeking to enjoin a proposed partial spinoff of a subsidiary of the Company, among other claims. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in defending the action, and/or the Company is unable to satisfy the note, the Company's financial condition and results from operations will be materially and adversely affected.

On April 24, 2024, Streeterville Capital, LLC ("Streeterville") filed a complaint in the Third Judicial Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah, captioned Streeterville Capital, LLC vs. NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. alleging, among other things, a default due to the proposed partial spin-off to the Company's stockholders of HOPE Therapeutics, Inc. ("Spin-Off") and in the payment of certain indebtedness of the Company owed to Streeterville under the terms of a certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated November 4, 2022, as amended on March 30, 2023, July 10, 2023, February 9, 2024 (as amended, the "Note"), resulting in the acceleration of all indebtedness owed to Streeterville, alleged to be approximately $6.5 million, and seeking to enjoin the Spin-Off (the "Complaint"). The Complaint was amended on May 2, 2024 to add a cause of action for alleged defamation of Streeterville resulting from certain statements contained in the Company's public filings ("Amended Complaint"). The Amended Complaint has been removed from State court to Federal court, and has been stayed pending arbitration. The Company denies the allegations in the Amended Complaint and intends to vigorously defend the allegations set forth therein, and assert certain counterclaims in the arbitration. Management also intends to raise alternative sources of capital to satisfy all amounts due and payable Streeterville under the terms of the Note. In the event Streeterville is successful in its claims set forth in the Amended Complaint, and the Company is otherwise unable to satisfy the Streeterville Note, the Company's financial condition and results from operations will be materially and adversely affected.

In the event the Company is unable to pay the Advanced Amounts, or in the event the Company is unable to attract and/or retain new and existing collaborators with development, regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization expertise to advance the development of NRX-101, its financial condition and operations will be materially and adversely affected.

On June 21, 2024, the Company received a notice of termination of Exclusive, Global - Development, Supply, Marketing & License Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2023, as amended dated February 7, 2024 ("Amendment"), by and between the Company, Alvogen, Inc., Alvogen Pharma US, Inc. and Lotus Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd (collectively, "Alvogen") (together with the Amendment, the "Agreement"), effective immediately. The Agreement provided for the joint development, supply, marketing, commercialization and license to Alvogen of NRX-101. NRX-101 is an FDA-designated investigational breakthrough therapy for suicidal treatment-resistant bipolar depression and chronic pain. The Company partnered with Alvogen around the development and marketing of NRX-101 for the treatment of suicidal bipolar depression.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and Alvogen will, in good faith, discuss, negotiate and seek to agree to a royalty amount due Alvogen by the Company within the next thirty (30) days.
