Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

                 On January 20, 2005, Corporate Road Show.Com Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, CRS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), CRS Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“CRS Delaware”), and Rexahn, Corp, a Maryland corporation (“Rexahn”), pursuant to which immediately after giving effect to a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and the reincorporation of the Company as a Delaware corporation under the name “Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” (“Rexahn Pharmaceuticals”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into Rexahn (the “Merger”) with Rexahn as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

                 The Merger Agreement provides that upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of the issued and outstanding Rexahn common stock (other than dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive five shares of Rexahn Pharmaceuticals common stock and (ii) each issued and outstanding option to purchase shares of Rexahn common stock, whether vested or then exercisable, will be converted into an option to purchase shares of Rexahn Pharmaceuticals common stock. After the consummation of the Merger, current stockholders of Rexahn will hold approximately 91.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Rexahn Pharmaceuticals and current stockholders of the Company will hold approximately 8.2% of the issued and outstanding Rexahn Pharmaceuticals common stock.

                 Immediately prior to the Merger, the Company will reincorporate itself in the State of Delaware by way of a merger of the Company with and into CRS Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 20, 2005 between the Company and CRS Delaware (the “Reincorporation Merger Agreement”), whereby each share of common stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive one share (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), or in lieu of effecting the Reverse Stock Split, one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, of common stock of Rexahn Pharmaceuticals.

                 The Merger Agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of each of Rexahn and the Company. The consummation of the Merger is subject to, among other things, (i) the approval by stockholders of Rexahn of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, (ii) subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholder, consummation of (A) the Reverse Stock Split and (B) the Reincorporation, (iii) the execution and delivery of a Settlement Agreement between Frank Ferraro and the Company and (iv) other customary conditions.

                 The description of the proposed transactions described in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. There can be no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger Agreement will be consummated.
