Item 2.05

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

           On September 22, 2011, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Enzon”) announced that it is implementing a plan to reduce its workforce and operating costs to more closely align its resources and capital with the Company’s research and development activities. The reduction in force will reduce the number of employees by approximately 48 percent, to a total of approximately 47 by June of 2012. Enzon expects the reduction in force to result in approximately $6.0 million in reduced annualized operating expenses once the plan is fully implemented in the second quarter of 2012. The Company expects to incur a charge in the third quarter of 2011 of approximately $3.0 million related to the reduction, consisting of severance. Enzon expects to make the last severance payment in the first quarter of 2013.

          A copy of the press release announcing these actions is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
