SUMMARY
This summary highlights information about MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Because this is a
summary, it does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common
stock. You should read carefully this entire prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by
reference. As used in this prospectus, references to we, us, our, MiddleBrook or our
Company and similar terms mean MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
MiddleBrook Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
We are a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing anti-infective drug
products that fulfill unmet medical needs in the treatment of infectious disease. We are developing
a portfolio of drugs based on the novel biological finding that bacteria exposed to antibiotics in
front-loaded, sequential bursts, or pulses, are killed more efficiently than those exposed to
standard antibiotic treatment regimens. We currently have 26 issued U.S. patents and two issued
foreign patents covering our proprietary once-a-day pulsatile delivery technology called PULSYS. We
have initially focused on developing PULSYS product candidates utilizing approved and marketed
drugs that no longer have patent protection or that have patents expiring in the next several
years. Our lead pulsatile product, based on the antibiotic amoxicillin, has received approval for
marketing under the trade name MOXATAG
(amoxicillin extended-release tablets), and our
Keflex PULSYS product candidate, based on the antibiotic cephalexin, is currently under evaluation
in Phase I clinical trials. Our New Drug Application (NDA) for MOXATAG for adults and pediatric
patients 12 years and older with pharyngitis and/or tonsillitis was approved for marketing by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 23, 2008. We also have a number of additional
pulsatile product candidates in preclinical development, although further development of these
candidates will only occur if we secure additional capital resources. We acquired the U.S. rights
to Keflex (cephalexin) from Eli Lilly in 2004. We currently sell our line of Keflex products to
wholesalers in capsule form, and have received FDA approval for two additional Keflex strengths
333 mg capsules and 750 mg capsules. We have focused our commercialization initiatives solely on
the Keflex 750 mg capsules. In support of the launch of the Keflex 750 mg capsules in 2006, and in
anticipation of our first potential pulsatile product, Amoxicillin PULSYS, we entered into an
agreement with a contract sales organization and currently deploy approximately 30 contract sales
representatives across the United States. We have also entered into agreements with third-party
contract manufacturers for the commercial supply of our products. In March 2007, we announced that
we are evaluating various strategic alternatives to further enhance shareholder value and have
retained an investment banking firm to assist us in this regard. Strategic alternatives we may
pursue could include, but are not limited to, continued execution of our operating plan, licensing
or development arrangements, the sale of some or all of our companys assets, partnering or other
collaboration agreements, or a merger or other strategic transaction. In November 2007, we sold
certain assets related to our Keflex business to affiliates of the selling stockholders, but
retained the rights to continue to operate the Keflex business as well as to repurchase those
assets by acquiring the stock of such affiliates at a future date.
We were incorporated in Delaware in December 1999 and commenced operations in January 2000. In
June 2007, we changed our name from Advancis Pharmaceutical Corporation to MiddleBrook
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 20425 Seneca Meadows Parkway,
Germantown, Maryland 20876. Our telephone number is (301) 944-6600 . Our website is
www.middlebrookpharma.com. Information contained on our website is not part of, and is not
incorporated into, this prospectus. Our filings with the SEC are available without charge on our
website as soon as reasonably practicable after filing.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider
and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
including the risk factors incorporated herein by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006, and as further updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and
documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and
that are incorporated by reference herein. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and
adversely affect the price of our common stock and the value of your investment in us.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of
common stock offered by this prospectus. We will pay all expenses of the registration and sale of
the shares of common stock, other than selling commissions and fees, stock transfer taxes and fees
and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the selling stockholders. If the shares of
common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be
responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agents commissions.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
On January 24, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement for the
private placement of 8,750,001 shares of common stock and
warrants to acquire up to 3,500,001 additional shares of common stock. This prospectus covers the
offer and sale by the selling stockholders of up to the total number of shares of common stock
issued and issuable to the selling stockholders in connection with the private placement. The
private placement transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a
transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The shares and warrants in the private
placement transaction were offered and sold only to accredited investors, as defined in
Regulation D under the Securities Act who represented their intentions to acquire the securities
for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
In satisfaction of our obligations under a registration rights agreement we entered into with the
selling stockholders in connection with the private placement, this prospectus registers the resale
of 12,250,002 shares of our common stock, representing the 8,750,001 shares of our common stock and
the 3,500,001 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants acquired by the selling
stockholders in the private placement. We have agreed to keep the registration statement effective
until such date that is the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the shares of common stock
are eligible to be sold without any restrictions as to holding period and volume limitations
pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule thereto) under the
Securities Act or (ii) the date when all of the shares of common stock offered hereby are sold. The
selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See Plan of
Distribution.
Except as set forth herein, the selling stockholders have not had any position, office or
material relationship with us within the past three years.
Because the selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock
beneficially owned by them, we cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that will be
beneficially owned by the selling stockholders after this offering. The column showing number of
shares owned after the offering assumes that the selling stockholders will sell all of the
securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or
from time to time since the date on which they provided the information, all or a portion of the
shares of common stock beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. See Plan of Distribution.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC
under the Exchange Act. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole
voting and investment power with respect to shares, subject to community property laws where
applicable. In calculating the shares beneficially owned by each selling stockholder prior to and
after the offering, we have based our calculations on the number of shares of common stock deemed
outstanding as of December 31, 2007.
Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and any changed
information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and when necessary.
2
The following table shows information, as of January 24, 2008, with respect to the selling
stockholders and the shares of our common stock, which they beneficially own, that may be offered
under this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the
selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the previously issued
8,750,001 shares of our common stock and 3,500,001 shares of
our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to permit the resale of these shares of our
common stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We
are registering the common stock to fulfill our obligations under a registration rights agreement
with the selling stockholders. The registration of the common stock does not necessarily mean that
any of the shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of
common stock.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common
stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in
private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders
may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
short sales;
|
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than
under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and
other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver
shares in connection with these trades.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a
broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under
the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any,
attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the relevant selling stockholder. The selling
stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the
Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of
common stock in other circumstances in which the transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. If required, we
will file a supplement to this prospectus or an amendment to the registration statement, amending
the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares of common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act,
in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed
to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We will pay all expenses of the registration and sale of the shares of common stock, other
than selling commissions and fees, stock transfer taxes and fees and expenses, if any, of counsel
or other advisors to the selling stockholders. If the shares of common stock are sold through
underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting
discounts or commissions or agents commissions. We have agreed to indemnify the selling
stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection
with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by
any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or a broker-dealer
for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
5
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our
common stock pursuant to this prospectus and activities of the selling stockholders.
The registration rights agreement permits us to suspend the use of this prospectus in
connection with sales of the shares of our common stock offered under this prospectus by holders
during periods of time under certain circumstances relating to pending corporate developments and
public filings with the SEC and similar events.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be passed upon
for us by Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, New York, New York.

Item 15.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the action, suit, or proceeding, provided the person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporations best interests and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of actions by or in the right of
the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action was
brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or other court shall deem proper.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify and advance
expenses to our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which such
person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was our director, officer or employee, or is or was serving at our request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. We have entered into
indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide them with
rights to indemnification and expense advancement to the fullest extent permitted under the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
We have purchased directors and officers liability insurance to insure our directors and
officers against liability for actions or omissions occurring in their capacity as a director or
officer, subject to certain exclusions and limitations.
Item 16.
Exhibits.
A list of exhibits filed herewith is contained in the exhibit index that immediately precedes
such exhibits and is incorporated herein by reference.
II-1
Item 17.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-2
(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(1) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be
part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as
part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section
10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is
at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior
to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document
immediately prior to such effective date; or
(2) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements
relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to
be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
