Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On January 17, 2025, Charles B. O’Keeffe, an independent member of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), advised the Company of his decision to not stand for reelection at the 2025 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Mr. O’Keeffe will continue to serve as a member of the Board until the 2025 annual meeting, when his current term will expire. Mr. O’Keeffe, age 85, has been a member of the Board since December 2004 and currently serves as the Board’s Lead Independent Director. Mr. O’Keeffe’s intention to retire from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

Patrick J. McEnany, the Company’s non-executive Chairman, and Richard J. Daly, the Company’s President and CEO, said, “On behalf of the entire Board and management team, we want to thank Charles for his dedicated and effective service to the Company over many years, a period in which the Company has transformed itself into a profitable commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing and commercializing novel medications for patients with rare diseases. Charles has been an outstanding director and has made a significant contribution to the Company over his many years of service. We wish him well.”

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Company’s Board intends to retain a nationally recognized recruitment firm to assist the committee in its search for a new director to replace Mr. O’Keeffe on the Board.
