Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 11, 2016, Discovery Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the existing At-the-Market Equity Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) by and between the Company and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), dated February 11, 2013.  The Amendment extends the term of the Sales Agreement to February 11, 2019, unless terminated earlier in accordance with terms set forth in the Sales Agreement.  Prior to the Amendment, the Sales Agreement would have expired on February 11, 2016.  All other economic terms of the Sales Agreement remain unmodified.  Currently, the Company has not determined whether to sell any shares under the Agreement, and, before undertaking a transaction, will consider among other factors, market conditions and capital requirements.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of Common Stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.  Furthermore, the summary of the Sales Agreement and full text of the Sales Agreement set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2013 (the "Prior 8-K") are also incorporated herein by reference.

The Amendment and the Sales Agreement have been included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K or the Prior 8-K to provide information regarding their respective terms and not to provide any other factual information about the Company.  The Amendment and the Sales Agreement contain various customary representations and warranties, as well as customary provisions relating to confidentiality and other matters.  Any representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Amendment or the Sales Agreement were made only as of the date of such agreement, only for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution and issuance of such agreement.  Shareholders of the Company and other investors should not rely on any representations, warranties and covenants in the Amendment or the Sales Agreement.
 
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits

10.1 Amendment No. 1 dated February 11, 2016 to the At-the-Market Equity Sales Agreement dated February 11, 2013 by and between the Company and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated
