Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 9, 2019, Zosano Pharma Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 5,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), to the Underwriter (the “Offering”). The Shares were sold to the Underwriter at a price of $3.29 per Share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter the right, for 30 days, to purchase up to 750,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the same price. The Offering closed on April 11, 2019. The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $16.0 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

The Offering was made pursuant to a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on FormS-3 (RegistrationNo. 333-229686).

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Underwriter may be required to make because of such liabilities. The Company, all of the Company’s directors and executive officers and one of its stockholders, Aisling Capital IV, LP (“Aisling”), also agreed not to sell or transfer any Common Stock held by them for 90 days (or 60 days, in the case of Aisling) after April 9, 2019 without first obtaining the written consent of the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions as described in the prospectus supplement.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement andlock-up arrangements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibit.
