This Form 8-A is being filed in connection with the listing of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock) of Antares Pharma, Inc. (the Company) pursuant to
Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC commencing on or about June 15, 2012. The Company is voluntarily delisting the Common Stock from the NYSE Amex Exchange effective as of the

The Companys
authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Preferred Stock).
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the Certificate of Incorporation) and Amended and Restated By-laws (the
By-laws), insofar as they relate to the material terms of the Common Stock. This description summarizes the material terms and provisions of the Common Stock, but it is not complete. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Each holder of the Common Stock
is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders and there are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to the preferential rights of any holders of the Preferred Stock, dividends may be declared and paid or set
apart for payment to holders of the Common Stock out of any of our assets or funds legally available, but only when and as declared by the Companys board of directors. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
holders of the Common Stock would be entitled to share in the Companys assets remaining after the payment of the Companys debts and liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to any holders of outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges
of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate in the future.
The Common Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any other class or series of the Companys capital stock. Holders of
the Common Stock do not have preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional securities of ours.
