Explanatory Note :
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 23, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by KT&G Corporation, a Korean corporation (“KT&G”).
This Amendment is filed with respect to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), to reflect information required by Rule 13d-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to KT&G’s beneficial ownership of the Common Stock. The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 9620 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD 20850.
ITEM 2. Identity and Background .
Item 2 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
The person filing this statement (the “Reporting Person”), the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person (the “Additional Persons”) and the information in respect of the Reporting Person and the Additional Persons are as follows:
(a) The name of the Reporting Person is KT&G Corporation. The names of the Additional Persons are set forth in Schedule A to this statement, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
(b) The principal business address of KT&G is 100 Pyoungchon-dong, Daedeok-gu, Taejon City, Korea 306-130.

(d) During the last five years, neither KT&G nor, to the knowledge of KT&G, any of the Additional Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, neither KT&G nor, to the knowledge of KT&G, any of the Additional Persons, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which KT&G or any of the Additional Persons was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) KT&G is a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea. All of the Additional Persons are citizens of the Republic of Korea.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration .
Item 3 is hereby supplemented as follows:
The total amount of funds required by KT&G to acquire the securities reported herein is $3,000,001.20. If KT&G in fact purchases such securities, it expects to fund such purchase out of its working capital on hand.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction .
Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:
On November 19, 2007, KT&G and the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “KT&G Securities purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, KT&G agreed to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions stated therein, (i) 2,142,858 shares of Common Stock and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to 428,572 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share, for aggregate cash consideration of $3,000,001.20. The obligation of KT&G to purchase the securities from the Issuer under the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to the Issuer’s receipt of binding commitments from third parties to purchase an additional $5,000,000 of Common Stock and warrants on terms no less favorable than those applicable to KT&G. The KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate if the closing thereunder has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2007.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer .
Item 5 is hereby supplemented as follows:
(a) As a result of the execution of the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, KT&G acquired beneficial ownership of (a) 2,142,858 additional shares of Common Stock subject to purchase by it pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, and (b) 428,572 additional shares of Common Stock subject to purchase by it upon exercise of the Warrant subject to purchase by it pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement. Consequently, as a result of the execution of the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, KT&G’s beneficial ownership increased from 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to 5,071,430 shares of Common Stock. Such shares constitute beneficial ownership by KT&G of 9.58% of the outstanding Common Stock, based on information relating to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding on November 23, 2007 as set forth in the Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed by the issuer on November 21, 2007.
| CUSIP No. 761640 10 1 | Page 5 of 9 Pages | | --- | --- |
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer .
Item 6 is hereby supplemented as follows:
KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement
As noted in Item 4 above, on November 20, 2007, KT&G and the Issuer entered into the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which KT&G agreed to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions stated therein, (i) 2,142,858 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Warrant to acquire up to 428,572 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share, for aggregate cash consideration of $3,000,001.20. The obligation of KT&G to purchase the Issuer’s securities under the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to customary terms and conditions, and to the Issuer’s receipt of binding commitments from third parties to purchase an additional $5,000,000 of the Common Stock and warrants on terms no less favorable than those applicable to KT&G. The KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate if the closing thereunder has not occurred on or prior to December 31, 2007.
The KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement accords KT&G “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection for a period of two years following the closing of its purchase of the Common Stock. This means that if the Issuer issues a share of Common Stock at a purchase price of less than $1.40 per share during the relevant period, the Issuer will be obligated to issue an additional number of shares of Common Stock to KT&G such that its effective purchase price per share equals the lowest such price at which the Issuer issues any share of Common Stock. In addition, the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement obligates the Issuer to take commercially reasonable efforts to list the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange within the next three years.
Warrant
The Warrant will be exercisable for a term of three years following its issuance to KT&G. The Warrant includes customary terms providing for adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares subject to receipt upon exercise that are applicable in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, fundamental transactions and the like. The Warrant also is subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection. This means that if the Issuer issues a share of Common Stock at a purchase price of less than $1.80, the exercise price of the Warrant will be reduced to the lowest such price at which any share of Common Stock is issued. Certain securities issuances by the Issuer will not trigger this anti-dilution protection.
| CUSIP No. 761640 10 1 | Page 6 of 9 Pages | | --- | --- |
Registration Rights Agreement
Upon closing of the securities issuances to KT&G pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with KT&G pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the Warrant to be issued pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement. The Issuer will be obligated to file such resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 60 days after the Common Stock is listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange. If the Issuer fails to file the resale registration statement by such date, or if the Issuer fails to take certain other actions required under the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will be obligated to pay to KT&G each month, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to 2% of the amount of its investment pursuant to the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement. If the Issuer fails to pay the liquidated damages when and as due, the Issuer will be obligated to pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum.
The above description is not a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the KT&G Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits.
