ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

     As previously reported, on January 20, 2005 CytRx Corporation (“CytRx”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with approximately 33 individual and institutional investors pursuant to which CytRx agreed, subject to certain customary closing conditions, to sell for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.3 million 17,334,494 shares of its common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 8,667,247 shares of its common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share. This Report is being filed in connection with the closing of the sale, which occurred on January 26, 2005. The terms of the $21.3 million sale were as previously disclosed by CytRx in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2005.

     In December 2004, in consideration for the termination of certain future payment obligations of CytRx under a May 2003 agreement with an investment banking firm, CytRx issued the investment banking firm 50,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.26 per share. CytRx also agreed to reduce to $1.26 per share the exercise price of 200,000 warrants previously issued to the investment banking firm. These transaction were undertaken without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that Act.
