Overview of the Company

 

We are a clinical-stage company developing innovativedrug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders and advanced liver disease.

 

Neurodegenerative Disease Program

 

The Company acquired the biopharmaceutical assetsof NeurMedix, Inc. (“NeurMedix”) a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and a related party in June 2021. Theacquired assets included NE3107 or (“bezisterim”). Bezisterim, the approved generic name for NE3107 is an investigational,novel, orally administered small molecule that is thought to inhibit inflammation-driven insulin resistance and major pathological inflammatorycascades with a novel mechanism of action. There is emerging scientific consensus that both inflammation and insulin resistance may playfundamental roles in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) and Parkinson’s disease (“PD”),and bezisterim could, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), represent an entirely new medical approachto treating these devastating conditions affecting an estimated 6 million Americans suffering from AD , 1 million Americans sufferingfrom PD and Long COVID affects approximately 20 million adults in the US, and millions more worldwide.

 

In neurodegenerative disease, the Company’sdrug candidate bezisterim is an orally bioavailable, Blood Brain Barrier (“BBB”)-permeable, insulin-sensitizer that is alsoanti-inflammatory. In addition, it is not immunosuppressive and has a low risk of drug-drug interaction. Bezisterim inhibits activationof inflammatory action extracellular single regulated kinase (“ERK”) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activatedB cells (“NFκB”) (including interactions with tumor necrosis factor (“TNF”) signaling and other relevantinflammatory pathways) that lead to neuroinflammation and insulin resistance. By binding to ERK and selectively modulating NFκBactivation and TNF-α production and not interfere with their homeostatic functions, BioVie believes that bezisterim may offer clinicalimprovements in several disease indications, including PD, AD and long COVID.

 

BioVie has conducted and reported efficacy dataon its Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate bezisterim in patients whohave mild-to-moderate AD (NCT04669028). Results of a Phase 2 investigator-initiated trial (NCT05227820) showing bezisterim-treated patientsexperienced improved cognition and biomarker levels were presented at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) annual conferencein December 2022. An estimated six million Americans suffer from AD. A Phase 2 study of bezisterim in PD (NCT05083260) has been completed,and data presented at the AD/PD™ 2023 International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurologicaldisorders in Gothenburg, Sweden in March 2023 showed significant improvements in “morning on” symptoms and clinically meaningfulimprovement in motor control in patients treated with a combination of bezisterim and levodopa vs. patients treated with levodopa alone,and no drug-related adverse events.

 

In long COVID, bezisterim has the potential toreduce neurological symptoms including fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. Persistently circulating viral spike proteins are believed totrigger TLR-4 driven activation of NFκB and the subsequent expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF, IFNg).

 

A. Parkinson’s Disease (NCT05083260)

 

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressiveneurodegenerative disease most often characterized by tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, postural instability, and difficultieswith speech. Compelling evidence implicates inflammation and insulin resistance in the initiation and progression of the disease –likely both due to their respective roles in dopamine dysfunction in the brain and neurodegeneration. Current therapeutic approaches provideonly symptomatic relief, but do not modify disease progression.

PD is driven in large part by neuroinflammationand activation of brain microglia, leading to increased proinflammatory cytokines (particularly TNF). Multiple daily administrations oflevodopa (converted to dopamine in the brain) is the current standard of care treatment for this movement disorder. However, levodopaeffectiveness diminishes over time necessitating increased dosage and prolonged daily administration leads to side effects of uncontrolledmovements called levodopa-induced dyskinesia, commonly referred to as LID, which is exacerbated by high dose levodopa. Although levodopaprovides symptomatic benefit, it does not slow PD progression.   

 

The Company designed a new Phase 2b study of bezisterimas a potential first line therapy to treat patients with new onset PD. This trial will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of bezisterimon motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with PD who haven’t been treated with carbidopa/levodopa. The PD Phase 2b study , multicenter,randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a hybrid decentralized design will last 20 weeks from the initial screening phaseto the safety follow up. In July 2024, the Company submitted the new protocol and received a response from the FDA permitting the Companyto proceed with the study. The trial commenced in April 2025.

 

The Phase 2 study of bezisterim for the treatmentof PD (NCT05083260) that completed in December 2022, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokineticsstudy in PD participants treated with carbidopa/levodopa and bezisterim. Forty-five patients with a defined L-dopa “off state”were randomized 1:1 to placebo: bezisterim 20 mg twice daily for 28 days. This trial was launched with two design objectives: 1) the primaryobjective was safety and a drug-drug interaction study as requested by the FDA to measure the potential for adverse interactions of bezisterimwith carbidopa/ levodopa; and 2) the secondary objective was to determine if preclinical indications of promotoric activity and apparentenhancement of levodopa activity could be seen in humans. Both objectives were met.

 

B. Long COVID Program

 

About Long COVID

 

Long COVID is a condition in which symptoms ofCOVID-19, the acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, persist for an extended period, generally three months or more.Common symptoms include lingering loss of smell and taste, extreme fatigue, and “brain fog,” though persistent cardiovascularand respiratory problems, muscle weakness, and neurologic issues have also been documented.

 

Approximately 20 million individuals in the U.S.currently or previously have long COVID, with millions more impacted worldwide.1,2 Studies estimate that approximately 10-30% of individualswho contract COVID-19 experience lingering symptoms for months or even years, with fatigue, brain fog, and cognitive impairment significantlyimpacting daily functioning and quality of life. Despite the growing recognition of long COVID as a serious condition, treatment optionsremain limited, and many patients struggle to find effective relief for their symptoms. The loss in quality of life and earnings and increasedmedical costs has an enormous economic impact estimated to be $3.7 trillion. To date there are no non-pharmacological or pharmacologicaltherapies proven effective for treatment of long COVID

 

In April 2024, the Company was awarded a clinical trial grant of $13.1million from the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”), awarded through the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program of the CongressionallyDirected Medical Research Programs. In August 2024, U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Office of Human Research Oversight(“OHRO”) approved the Company’s plan to evaluate bezisterim for the treatment of neurological symptoms that are associatedwith long COVID. and the FDA authorized our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for bezisterim allowing the Companyto study a novel, anti-inflammatory approach or the treatment of the debilitating neurocognitive symptoms associated with long covid.

 

The Phase 2 ADDRESS-LC study, which is fully fundedby a grant from the DOD, is a randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerabilityof bezisterim in adult participants with long COVID who have cognitive impairment sequelae and fatigue. Individuals who have been diagnosedwith long COVID and have neurocognitive dysfunction and self-reported fatigue may meet qualification criteria and can visit www.addressLC.comto learn more.

The trial commenced in May 2025. As of April 2025, the Company wasreimbursed approximately $2.9 million for trial costs incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2025.

 

C. Alzheimer’s Disease (NCT05083260)

 

On November 29, 2023, the Company announced theanalysis of its unblinded, topline efficacy data from its Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT04669028) of bezisterim in the treatment of mildto moderate AD. The study had co-primary endpoints looking at cognition using the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-CognitiveScale (ADAS-Cog 12) and function using the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). Patients were randomly assigned, 1:1 versusplacebo, to receive sequentially 5 mg of bezisterim orally twice a day for 14 days, then 10 mg orally twice a day for 14 days, followedby 26 weeks of 20 mg orally twice daily.

 

Upon trial completion, as the Company began theprocess of unblinding the trial data, the Company found significant deviation from protocol and current good clinical practices (“cGCPs”)violations at 15 study sites (virtually all of which were from one geographic area). This highly unusual level of suspected improprietiesled the Company to exclude all patients from these sites and to refer the sites to the FDA Office of Scientific Investigations (“OSI”)for potential further action. After the patient exclusions, 81 patients remained in the Modified Intent to Treat population, 57 of whomwere in the Per-Protocol population which included those who completed the trial and were verified to take study drug from pharmacokineticdata.

 

The trial was originally designed to be 80% poweredwith 125 patients in each of the treatment and placebo arms. The unplanned exclusion of so many patients left the trial underpowered forthe primary endpoints. In the Per-Protocol population, which included those patients who completed the trial and who were further verifiedto have taken the study drug (based on pharmacokinetic data), an observed descriptive change from baseline appeared to suggest a slowingof cognitive loss; these same patients experienced an advantage in age deceleration vs. placebo as measured by DNA epigenetic change.Age deceleration is used by longevity researchers to measure the difference between the patient’s biological age, in this case asmeasured by the Horvath DNA methylation Skin Blood Clock, relative to the patient’s actual chronological age. This test was a non-primary/secondaryendpoint, other-outcome measure, done via blood test collected at week 30 (end of study). Additional DNA methylation data continues tobe collected and analyzed.

 

Liver Cirrhosis Program

 

In liver disease, our investigational drug candidateBIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin), which was granted both FDA Fast Track designation status and FDA Orphan Drug Status, is beingevaluated as a treatment option for patients suffering from ascites and other life-threatening complications of advanced liver cirrhosiscaused by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis, and alcoholism. The initial target for BIV201 therapy was refractory ascites.These patients suffer from frequent life-threatening complications, generate more than $5 billion in annual treatment costs, and havean estimated 50% mortality rate within 6 to 12 months.

 

After receiving guidance from the FDA regardingthe design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the treatment of patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the Company is now targetinga broader ascites patient population. The Company is currently finalizing the protocol design for the Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focuson demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications and disease progression in patients with cirrhosisand ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”). This patient population is not limited to thosehaving refractory ascites. BIV201 is administered as a patent-pending liquid formulation with patents issued in the U.S., China, Japan,Chile and India to date. Ascites is a common complication of advanced liver cirrhosis involving the accumulation of large volumes of fluidin the abdomen, often exceeding five liters, due to liver and kidney dysfunction. BIV201 is a continuous infusion of terlipressin, a drugused in over 40 countries to treat related complications of liver cirrhosis (Type 1 hepatorenal syndrome and bleeding esophageal varices)that was approved in the U.S. in 2022 (to improve kidney function in adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function)but is not approved in Japan. With its novel room temperature stable formulation in a pre-filled syringe, we believe BIV201 could potentiallyprovide a superior terlipressin drug delivery system throughout the world. The goal of BIV201 therapy is to target the pathophysiologythat contributes to ascites production, acute kidney injury and complications of cirrhosis that are associated with significant mortality.

In June 2021, BioVie initiated a Phase 2 study(NCT04112199) designed to evaluate the efficacy of BIV201 (terlipressin, administered by continuous infusion for two 28-day treatmentcycles) combined with standard-of-care (“SOC”), compared to SOC alone, for the treatment of refractory ascites. The primaryendpoints of the study were the incidence of ascites-related complications and change in ascites fluid accumulation during treatment comparedto a pre-treatment period. By October 12, 2022, there were 15 patients enrolled for treatment and the last patient completed treatmenton May 8, 2023. In March 2023, enrollment was paused and that data from the first 15 patients treated with BIV201 plus SOC appeared toshow at least a 30% reduction in ascites fluid during the 28 days after treatment initiation compared to the 28 days prior to treatment.The change in ascites volume was significantly different from those patients receiving SOC treatment. Patients who completed the treatmentwith BIV201 experienced a 53% reduction in ascites fluid, which was sustained (43% reduction) during the three months after treatmentinitiation as compared to the three-month pre-treatment period. In June 2023 and December 2024, BioVie received guidance from the FDAregarding the design and endpoints for definitive Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201.

 

Our proprietary novel liquid formulation of terlipressinis designed to improve convenience for outpatient administration and avoid potential formulation errors when pharmacists reconstitutethe current powder version of terlipressin. To date, analytical testing results have confirmed room temperature stability of the prefilledsyringe in storage for 2 years, with the potential for up two years stability. Room temperature storage presents a key product differentiationversus terlipressin products in countries where the drug is approved. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, all other terlipressinproducts sold globally must be stored under refrigeration and there is no prefilled syringe format of terlipressin available for treatingpatients in these countries. BioVie has also filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application covering our novel liquidformulations of terlipressin (international patent application PCT/US2020/034269, published as WO2020/237170) and to date patents havebeen granted in the U.S. (Patent no. 12,156,898), India (Patent No. 540813), Chile (Patent No. 68.965), China (Patent No. ZL 202080050758.X),and Japan (7579811).

 

We believe BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin)has the potential to improve the health of thousands of patients suffering from life-threatening complications of liver cirrhosis dueto hepatitis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and alcoholism. The FDA has granted Fast-Track status and Orphan Drug designation for ascites(due to all etiologies except cancer), which is the most common complication related to liver cirrhosis and represents a significant unmetmedical need. Patients with cirrhosis and ascites account for an estimated 116,000 U.S. hospital discharges annually, with frequent earlyreadmissions. According to the HCUP Nationwide Readmissions Database 2016, those requiring paracentesis (removal of ascites fluid) experiencean average hospital stay lasting eight days incurring over $86,000 in medical costs. This translates into a total potentially addressableascites market size for BIV201 therapy exceeding $650 million based on Company estimates.

 

The FDA has never approved any drug specificallyfor treating ascites. After receiving guidance from FDA in 2023 and again in 2025, the Company is currently finalizing the protocol designfor a Phase 3 study of BIV201 with a focus on demonstrating clinical benefit through a composite primary endpoint of complications anddisease progression in patients with cirrhosis and ascites who have recently recovered from acute kidney injury (“AKI”).

 

The BIV201 development program was initiated byLAT Pharma LLC. On April 11, 2016, BioVie acquired LAT Pharma LLC and the rights to its BIV201 development program and currently ownsall development and marketing rights to this drug candidate. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on April 11, 2016,between predecessor entities, LAT Pharma LLC and NanoAntibiotics, Inc., BioVie is obligated to pay a low single digit royalty on net salesof BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared among LAT Pharma Members, PharmaIn Corporation, and The Barrett Edge, Inc. Pursuantto the separation agreement to be entered into between the Company and BioVie, the Company will assume the royalty agreement and willbe obligated to pay 5.0% on net sales of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared among LAT Pharma Members, PharmaIn Corporation,and The Barrett Edge, Inc.

At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholdersheld on June 23, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to grant the Board authority, in its sole discretion, priorto the one-year anniversary of such special meeting, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratiobetween 1-for-5 and 1-for-10. On June 26, 2025, pursuant to the authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Board approveda reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. EasternTime on July 7, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectusforms a part. When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every ten (10) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding CommonStock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any changein the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or vestingof the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants in proportion to the ratio of the Reverse StockSplit and will cause a proportionate increase in the exercise prices of such stock options and warrants. The Reverse Stock Split willnot change the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

No fractional shares will be issued as a resultof the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the ReverseStock Split will receive one full share of the post-reverse stock split Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. Commencing on July7, 2025, trading of our Common Stock will continue on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis.

 

Other than our historical financial statementsand notes thereto incorporated by reference herein, and except where otherwise noted, all references to our Common Stock presented inthis prospectus have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Risk Factors

 

Investing in shares of our Common Stock involvesa high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in shares of our Common Stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertaintiesdiscussed under the sections titled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our mostrecent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporatedby reference into this prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein,and any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize. Please also read carefully the section titled “CautionaryNote Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Relating to this Offering and Our CommonStock

 

You may experience immediate and substantialdilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock you purchase in this offering.

 

The public offering price per Unit in this offering may exceed theas adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering. After giving effect to the saleby us of the Units at an assumed public offering price of $10.30 per Unit, and after underwriter fees and estimated offering expensespayable by us and assuming full exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, you will experience immediate dilution of $(0.20) per share, representingthe difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2025 after giving effect to this offering andthe assumed public offering price. The exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options may also result in further dilution of yourinvestment. See the section entitled “Dilution” on page 21 for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you may incurif you participate in this offering.

 

Our management will have broad discretionover the use of the net proceeds from this offering, may invest or spend the proceeds raised in this offering in ways with which you maynot agree and the proceeds may not yield a significant return.

 

Our management will have broad discretion overthe use of proceeds from this offering. We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as described in the section entitled“Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offeringand could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you are relying on the judgmentof our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision,to assess whether the proceeds will be used appropriately. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result infinancial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our Common Stock to decline, and delaythe development of our product candidates. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearinginstruments. These investments may not yield a favorable return, or any return, to us or our stockholders.

 

Our stock price is and may continueto be volatile and you may not be able to resell our Common Stock at or above the price you paid.

 

The market price for our Common Stock is volatileand may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, such as quarterly fluctuations infinancial results, the timing and our ability to advance the development of our product candidates or changes in securities analysts’recommendations could cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock markets generally have recently experiencedvolatility. Our stock price is likely to experience significant volatility in the future. The price of our Common Stock may decline andthe value of any investment in our Common Stock may be reduced regardless of our performance. Further, the daily trading volume of ourCommon Stock has historically been relatively low. As a result of the historically low volume, our shareholders may be unable to sellsignificant quantities of Common Stock in the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of our shares of CommonStock. Each of these factors, among others, could harm your investment in our Common Stock and could result in your being unable to resellthe shares of our Common Stock that you purchase at a price equal to or above the price you paid.

In the past, when the market price of a stockhas been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer. If any of ourstockholders were to bring such a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and the attention of ourmanagement would be diverted from the operation of our business.

 

Nasdaq may seekto delist our Common Stock if it concludes this offering does not qualify as a public offering as defined under Nasdaq’s stockholderapproval rule.

 

The continued listingof our Common Stock on Nasdaq depends on our compliance with the requirements for continued listing under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules,including, but not limited to, Market Place Rule 5635, or the stockholder approval rule. The stockholder approval rule prohibits the issuanceof shares of our Common Stock (or derivatives) in excess of 20% of our outstanding shares of our Common Stock without stockholder approval,unless those shares are sold at a price that equals or exceeds the “minimum price”, as defined in the stockholder approvalrule, or in what Nasdaq deems a “public offering” as defined in the stockholder approval rule (a “Public Offering”).The securities sold in this offering may be sold at a significant discount to the “minimum price” as defined in the stockholderapproval rule, and we do not intend to obtain the approval of our stockholders for the issuance of the securities in this offering. Accordingly,we have sought to conduct, and plan to continue to conduct, this offering as a Public Offering as defined in the stockholder approvalrule, which is a qualitative analysis based on several factors as determined by Nasdaq, including by broadly marketing and offering thesesecurities in a firm commitment underwritten offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).Demand for the securities sold by us in this offering, and the actual public offering price for these securities, will be determined followinga broad public marketing effort over several trading days, and final distribution of these securities will ultimately be determined bythe underwriters. Nasdaq has also published guidance that an offering of securities that are “deeply discounted” to the “minimumprice” (for example a discount of 50% or more) will typically preclude a determination that the offering qualifies as Public Offeringfor purposes of the stockholder approval rule. We cannot assure you that Nasdaq will determine that this offering will be deemed a PublicOffering under the stockholder approval rule. If Nasdaq determines that this offering was not conducted in compliance with the stockholderapproval rule, Nasdaq may cite a deficiency and move to delist our securities from Nasdaq. Upon a delisting from Nasdaq, our stock wouldlikely be traded in the over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system, more commonly known as the “OTC.” OTC transactionsinvolve risks in addition to those associated with transactions in securities traded on the securities exchanges, such as Nasdaq, or,together, Exchange-listed stocks. Many OTC stocks trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than exchange-listed stocks. Accordingly,our stock would be less liquid than it would be otherwise. Also, the prices of OTC stocks are often more volatile than Exchange-listedstocks. Additionally, institutional investors are usually prohibited from investing in OTC stocks, and it might be more challenging toraise capital when needed.

We do not intend to pay dividendson our Common Stock, so any returns will be limited to the value of our Common Stock.

 

We currently anticipate that we will retain anyfuture earnings to finance the continued development, operation and expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate declaringor paying any cash dividends or other distributions in the foreseeable future. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be lessvaluable because stockholders must rely on sales of their Common Stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, to realize anygains on their investment.

 

You may experience future dilutionas a result of future equity offerings or if we issue shares subject to options, warrants, stock awards or other arrangements.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may inthe future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock in anyother offering at a price per share that is less than the current market price of our securities, and investors purchasing shares or othersecurities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The sale of additional shares of our Common Stock or othersecurities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock would dilute all of our stockholders, and if such sales of convertiblesecurities into or exchangeable into our Common Stock occur at a deemed issuance price that is lower than the current exercise price ofour outstanding warrants sold to Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”) in August 2022 (the “Acuitas Warrants”),the exercise price for those warrants would adjust downward to the deemed issuance price pursuant to price adjustment protection containedwithin those warrants.

 

As of June 30, 2025, there were warrants outstandingto purchase an aggregate of 960,098 shares of our Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $13.70 to $1,250.00 per share, 84,872 sharesissuable upon exercise of outstanding options at exercise prices ranging from $19.00 to $4,209.00 per share and restricted stock unitstotaling 7,212. We may also grant additional options, warrants or equity awards. To the extent such shares are issued, the interest ofholders of our Common Stock will be diluted.

 

Moreover, we are obligated to issue shares ofour Common Stock upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones with respect to certain of our drug candidates(i.e., bezisterim (NE3107), NE3291, NE3413, and NE3789) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, dated April 27, 2021, by and among theCompany, NeurMedix and Acuitas, as amended on May 9, 2021. The achievement of these milestones could result in the issuance of up to 1.8million shares of our Common Stock, further diluting the interest of holders of our Common Stock.

 

We may, in the future, issue additionalCommon Stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

As of June 30, 2025, our Articles of Incorporation,as amended, authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and we had 1,862,922 shares of our Common Stock issued and 1,860,086shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 798,137,078 shares of Common Stock. Thefuture issuance of Common Stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Stock held by our then existing stockholders.We may value any Common Stock in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Stock for future services or acquisitions orother corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, might have an adverse effect onany trading market for our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.

 

There is a limited trading marketfor our Common Stock, which could make it difficult to liquidate an investment in our Common Stock, in a timely manner.

 

Our Common Stock is currently traded on Nasdaq.Because there is a limited public market for our Common Stock, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment whenever desired.We cannot assure that there will be an active trading market for our Common Stock and the lack of an active public trading market couldmean that investors may be exposed to increased risk. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in the regulations of theSEC, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customersand accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our Common Stock, whichmay further affect its liquidity.

 

11

 

 

There is no established public trading marketfor the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop for the Pre-funded Warrantsor Warrants.

 

There is no established public trading marketfor the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants being offered and sold in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition,we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognizedtrading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants will be limited. Further, the existenceof the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants may act to reduce both the trading volume and the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

The Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants arespeculative in nature.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-fundedWarrants or Warrants, until holders of Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants acquire our Common Stock upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrantsor Warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants will have no rights with respect to our Common Stock underlying such Pre-fundedWarrants and Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of astockholder of our Common Stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

Moreover, following this offering, the marketvalue of the Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will everequal or exceed the price of the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants, and, consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for investorsto exercise their Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants.

 

We will not, in the case of the Pre-fundedWarrants, and may not, in the case of the Warrants, receive any meaningful additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrantsor Warrants.

 

Each Pre-funded Warrant and each Warrantwill be exercisable until it is fully exercised and by means of payment of the nominal cash purchase price upon exercise or$      cash purchase price upon exercise, respectively, or through a “cashless exercise”procedure. Accordingly, we will not, in the case of the Pre-funded Warrants, and may not, in the case of the Warrants, receive anymeaningful additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants.

 

If we do not maintain a current and effectiveprospectus relating to our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants or the Warrants, holders will only be able toexercise such Pre-funded Warrants or the Warrants on a “cashless basis.”

 

If we do not maintain a current and effectiveprospectus relating to the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants or the Warrants at the time thatholders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis,” and under no circumstanceswould we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settle such warrants to the holders. As a result, the number of shares of ourCommon Stock that holders will receive upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants or the Warrants will be fewer than it would have beenhad such holders exercised their Pre-funded Warrants or the Warrants for cash. If we are unable to maintain a current and effective prospectus,the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in our company may be reduced.

 

Significant holders or beneficial holdersof shares of our Common Stock may not be permitted to exercise the Pre-funded Warrants that they hold.

 

A holder of the Pre-funded Warrants will not beentitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate numberof shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at the electionof the holder) of the number of shares of our Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined votingpower of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election ofthe holder) of the combined voting power of all of our securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as suchpercentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants. As a result, you may not be able to exerciseyour Pre-funded Warrants for shares of our Common Stock at a time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so. In such acircumstance, you could seek to sell your Pre-funded Warrants to realize value, but you may be unable to do so in the absence of an establishedtrading market and due to applicable transfer restrictions.

 

12

 

 

Since the Warrants and Pre-funded Warrantsare executory contracts, they may have no value in a bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

 

In the event a bankruptcy or reorganization proceedingis commenced by or against us, a bankruptcy court may hold that any unexercised Warrants and Pre-funded Warrants, as applicable, are executorycontracts that are subject to rejection by us with the approval of the bankruptcy court. As a result, holders of the Warrants and Pre-fundedWarrants, as applicable, may, even if we have sufficient funds, not be entitled to receive any consideration for their Warrants and Pre-fundedWarrants, as applicable, or may receive an amount less than they would be entitled to if they had exercised their Warrants and Pre-fundedWarrants, as applicable, prior to the commencement of any such bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.

 

The Reverse Stock Split  couldcause our stock price to decline relative to its value before the split and decrease the liquidity of shares of our Common Stock.

 

At a special meeting of the Company’s stockholdersheld on June 23, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to grant the Board authority, in its sole discretion, priorto the one-year anniversary of such special meeting, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratiobetween 1-for-5 and 1-for-10. On June 26, 2025, pursuant to the authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Board approveda reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m. EasternTime on July 7, 2025, prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. There is no assurancethat the Reverse Stock Split will not cause an actual decline in the value of our outstanding Common Stock. The liquidity ofthe shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares thatwill be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as aresult of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who ownodd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the costof selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

 

Any failure to maintain effective internalcontrol over financial reporting could harm us.

 

Our management is responsible for establishingand maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed toprovide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordancewith U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”),a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management orpersonnel, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. The PCAOBdefines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that thereis a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detectedand corrected, on a timely basis.

 

If we are unable to assert that our internal controlover financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unableto express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidencein the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected and we couldbecome subject to litigation or investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities,which could require additional financial and management resources.

The lack of public company experience ofour management team could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws, which couldhave a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

Our officers have limited public company experience,which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Suchresponsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Any such deficiencies,weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of theExchange Act, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability tocontinue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our Company.

 

We are considered a smaller reporting companythat is exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our stock less attractive to potential investors.

 

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smallerreporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parentthat is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 

·Had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completedfiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate number of worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equityheld by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity,in the principle market for the common equity; or

 

·In the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for sharesof its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registrationstatement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus,in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimatedpublic offering price of the shares; or

 

·In the case of an issuer who had annual revenue of less than $100 million during the most recently completedfiscal year for which audit financial statements are available, had a public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definitionthat was either zero or less than $700 million.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” weare not required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we provide only 3 years ofbusiness development information; and have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuersthat are not “smaller reporting companies” which could make our stock less attractive to potential investors, which couldmake it more difficult for you to sell your shares.

 

We are subject to the periodic reportingrequirements of the Exchange Act, which require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports.These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.

 

We are required to file periodic reports withthe SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. In order to comply with such requirements, our independentregistered auditors have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis.Moreover, our legal counsel has to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. Factors such as the number and type of transactionsthat we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot accurately be determined at this time and may have a major negative effecton the cost and amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs is an expense to our operationsand thus has a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cashdividends on our Common Stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We intend to retain any future earnings to financethe development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurancethat stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

We are authorized to issue “blankcheck” preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely impact the rights of holders of our securities.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us toissue up to 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. Any preferred stock that we issue in the future may rank ahead of our CommonStock in terms of dividend priority or liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than our Common Stock. Any preferred stockissued may contain provisions allowing those shares to be converted into shares of Common Stock, which could dilute the value of our CommonStock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price, if any, of our Common Stock. The preferred stock could be utilized,under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of our company. Although we haveno present intention to issue any shares of our authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

 

Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation,our Bylaws, and Nevada law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore,depress the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, ourBylaws, and Nevada law may have the effect of deterring unsolicited takeovers or delaying or preventing a change in control of our companyor changes in our management, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares overthen current market prices. In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they maydeem to be in their best interests. These provisions include:

 

·the inability of stockholders to call special meetings;

 

·the “business combinations” and “control share acquisitions” provisions of Nevadalaw, to the extent applicable, could discourage attempts to acquire our stockholders stock even on terms above the prevailing market price;and

 

·the ability of our board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stockwithout stockholder approval, which could include the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our control or could be usedto institute a rights plan, also known as a poison pill, that would dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likelypreventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors.

 

The existence of the forgoing provisions and anti-takeovermeasures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. They could also deterpotential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your Common Stock in an acquisition.

Use of Proceeds

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offeringwill be approximately $13.5 million, or approximately $15.6 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full,based on an assumed public offering price of $10.30 per Unit, which was the closing price of shares of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on June26, 2025, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming nosale of the Pre-funded Units.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capitaland general corporate purposes. This may include, but is not limited to, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures andacquisitions of new technologies or businesses.

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed publicoffering price of $10.30 per Unit, which was the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June 26, 2025, would increase (decrease)the net proceeds from this offering by approximately $1.4 million, assuming that the number of Units offered by us, as set forthon the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimatedoffering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) of 50,000 Units in the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on thecover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds from this offering by approximately $0.48 million, assumingno change in the assumed public offering price per Unit and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimatedoffering expenses payable by us.

 

Although we have identified some potential usesof the net proceeds to be received from this offering, we cannot specify these uses with certainty. The allocations of the proceeds ofthis offering presented above constitute the current estimates of our management and are based on our current plans, assumptions madewith respect to the industry in which we currently or, in the future, expect to operate, general economic conditions and our future revenueand expenditure estimates. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and coulduse them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in whichour management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposesthat may not positively impact our results of operations or increase the market value of our securities.

Dilution

 

If you invest in shares of our Common Stock inthis offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of CommonStock and the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after this offering.

 

The net tangible book value of our Common Stockas of March 31, 2025 was approximately $21.2 million, or approximately $11.46 per share. The net tangible book value per share of ourCommon Stock represents our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities divided by the number ofshares of Common Stock outstanding as of that date.

 

After giving effect to the issuance by us in thisoffering of 1,456,310 Units at an assumed public offering price of $10.30 per Unit (the last reported sale price of our Common Stockon Nasdaq on June 26, 2025) after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, ouras adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $34.7 million, or approximately $10.50 pershare. This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of approximately $0.97 per share to our existing stockholders,and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $(0.20) per share to new investors purchasing Unitsin this offering. Dilution per share to new investors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share as ofMarch 31, 2025 after giving effect to this offering from the public offering price per Unit paid by new investors.

 

The following table illustrates this per sharedilution:

 

Assumed public offering price per Unit           $ 10.30  
Historical net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2025   $   11.46         
Decrease in as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering   $ ( 0.97)        
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2025 after giving effect to this offering           $ 10.50  
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering           $ (0.20

 

A $1.00 increase in theassumed public offering price of $10.30 per Unit, which was the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on June 26, 2025, would increaseour as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering to approximately $10.92 per share and would increase the dilution to new investorspurchasing Units in this offering to approximately $0.38 per share, assuming that the number of Units offered by us, as set forth on thecover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offeringexpenses. A $1.00 decrease in the assumed public offering price of $10.30 per Unit, which was the closing price of our common stock onNasdaq on June 26, 2025, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering to approximately $10.02 per shareand would decrease the dilution to new investors purchasing Units in this offering to approximately $(0.72) per share, assuming that thenumber of Units offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwritingdiscounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

 

If the underwriters exercisetheir overallotment option in full, the as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025, after giving effect to this offering,would have been approximately $37.0 million, or approximately $10.48 per share. This represents a decrease in net tangible book valueof approximately $0.98 per share to our existing stockholders and dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $(0.18)per share to new investors purchasing Units in this offering.

 

The number of shares of our Common Stock to beoutstanding after this offering is based on 1,851,738 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and excludes:

 

·88,713 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstandingstock options at a weighted average exercise price of $294.70 per share;

·the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholderor the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the personbecame an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders;or

 

·the combination meets specified statutory requirements.

 

A “combination” is generally definedto include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transactionor a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more ofthe aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate marketvalue of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certainother transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

 

In general, an “interested stockholder”is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s votingstock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attemptsto acquire our Company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price abovethe prevailing market price.

 

Control Share Acquisitions

 

The “control share” provisions ofSections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectlyin Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’sstock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterestedstockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, anda majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares inan offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived ofthe right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accordedfull voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not votein favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordancewith statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

 

28

 

 

A corporation may elect to not be governed by,or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided thatthe opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest,that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control share statutes, and will be subjectto these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.

 

The effect of the Nevada control share statutesis that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the controlshares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable,could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our Company.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Articles ofIncorporation and Bylaws

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws containcertain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring controlof us or changing our board of directors and management. According to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, neither the holders ofour Common Stock nor the holders of any preferred stock we may issue in the future have cumulative voting rights in the election of ourdirectors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding CommonStock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third partyto obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors.

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwritersmay engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids, and purchases to coverpositions created by short sales.

 

  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while the offering is in progress.
     
  Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.
     
  Syndicate covering transactions involves purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase securities through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more securities than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
     
  Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

33

 

 

These stabilizing transactions, over-allotmenttransactions, syndicate covering transactions, and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of oursecurities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result, the price of our securities in theopen market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representationor prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may beaffected on The Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Passive Market Making

 

In connection with this offering, underwritersand selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordancewith Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities andextending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highestindependent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bidmust then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Other Relationships

 

From time to time, the underwriters and/or itsaffiliates may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services for us for which they may receive customaryfees. In the course of their businesses, the placement and their affiliates may actively trade our securities or loans for their own accountor for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the underwriters and their affiliates may at any time hold long or short positionsin such securities or loans. Except for services provided in connection with this offering and described below, the underwriters havenot provided any investment banking or other financial services to us during the 180-day period preceding the date of this offering circular.

Section 78.7502 of the NRS permits a Nevada corporationto indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurredin connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, except an action by or on behalf of the corporation,if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or directorreasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonablecause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502 also provides that a corporation may not indemnifya director or officer under this section with respect to an action by or on behalf of the corporation if such person has been adjudgedto be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid to the corporation in settlement of such claim unless and only to the extent the courtdetermines in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Indemnificationunder NRS 78.7502 generally may be made by the corporation only if determined to be proper under the circumstances.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arisingunder the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoingprovisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnificationis against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification againstsuch liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person ofthe registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling personin connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settledby controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against publicpolicy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the SecuritiesAct of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offeredtherein, 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 registeredwhich remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant underthe Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaserin the initial distribution ofthe securities, The undersigned registrant undertakesthat in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuantto this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting methodused to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the followingcommunications, the undersigned registrant willbe a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

The Company shall cause the Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the Holderby crediting the account of the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawalat Custodian system ("DWAC") if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effectiveregistration statement permitting the issuance of the Shares to or resale of the Shares by Holder, or (B) the Shares are eligible forresale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and, in either case, the Shares have been soldby the Holder prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined below), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registeredin the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuantto such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the deliveryto the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided that the Companyshall not be obligated to deliver the Shares hereunder unless the Company has received the aggregate Exercise Price on or before the WarrantShare Delivery Date. If the Shares can be delivered via DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at the expenseof the Company, any legal opinions or other documentation required by it to deliver such Warrant Shares without legend (subject to receiptby the Company of reasonable back up documentation from the Holder, including with respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable andrequested by the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the transfer agent shall have received from the Holder a confirmationof sale of the Shares (provided the requirement of the Holder to provide a confirmation as to the sale of Shares shall not be applicableto the issuance of unlegended Shares upon a cashless exercise of this Purchase Warrant if the Shares are then eligible for resale pursuantto Rule 144(b)(l)). The Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shallbe deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Purchase Warrant has been exercised, withpayment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder,if any, pursuant to Section 2.3.6 prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliverto the Holder the Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date; providedthat payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the instance of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company by such date,the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares subject to such exercise(based on the VWAP of the Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per TradingDay on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day followingsuch Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

 

2.3.2 Deliveryof New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Purchase Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of aHolder and upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrantevidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all otherrespects be identical with this Purchase Warrant.

 

2.3.3 RescissionRights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Shares pursuant to Section 2.3.1 by the WarrantShare Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be requiredto return any Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of the aggregate Exercise Pricepaid to the Company for such Shares and the restoration of Holder's right to acquire such Shares pursuant to this Purchase Warrant (including,issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

2.3.4 Compensationfor Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Companyfails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share DeliveryDate, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder'sbrokerage firm otherwise purchases, Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipatedreceiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any,by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amountobtained by multiplying (1) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exerciseat issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of theHolder, either reinstate the portion of the Purchase Warrant and equivalent number of Shares for which such exercise was not honored (inwhich case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had theCompany timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a totalpurchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise tosuch purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and,upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remediesavailable to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive reliefwith respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver Shares upon exercise of the Purchase Warrant as required pursuant to the termshereof.

 

2.3.5 No FractionalShares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Purchase Warrant.As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election,either (a) pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Priceor (b) round up to the next whole share if such fraction is greater than or equal to one-half or round down to the next whole share ifsuch fraction is less than one-half.

 

2.3.6 Charges,Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidentalexpense in respect of the issuance of such Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Shares shallbe issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event thatShares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Purchase Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompaniedby the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment ofa sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-dayprocessing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performingsimilar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Shares.

iii. RescissionRights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, ifthe Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by itsbroker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of CommonStock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’stotal purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtainedby multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exerciseat issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder,either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in whichcase such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuedhad the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of CommonStock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Stock with an aggregatesale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shallbe required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holderin respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’sright to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specificperformance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exerciseof the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the numberof shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of sharesof Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the numberof shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficiallyowned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-convertedportion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitationon conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or AttributionParties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated inaccordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holderthat the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and theHolder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation containedin this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holdertogether with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretionof the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrantis exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of whichportion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligationto verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shallbe determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposesof this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstandingshares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as thecase may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agentsetting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall withintwo Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the numberof outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding sharesof Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder priorto the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuanceof Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the BeneficialOwnership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of thenumber of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrantheld by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitationwill not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shallbe construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or tomake changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

d) Mechanicsof Exercise.

 

i. Deliveryof Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the TransferAgent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Companythrough its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such systemand either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the WarrantShares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise), and otherwise by book-entry, registered in the Company’sshare register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant tosuch exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) TradingDay and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case after the delivery to the Company of theNotice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holdershall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warranthas been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price(other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of TradingDays comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliverto the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder,in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP ofthe Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifthTrading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such WarrantShares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FASTprogram so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” meansthe standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to theCommon Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s)of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any timeafter the time of execution of the Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m.(New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposeshereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such WarrantShare Delivery Date.

 

 

 

 

ii. Deliveryof New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder andupon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencingthe rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respectsbe identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. RescissionRights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensationfor Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, ifthe Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by itsbroker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of CommonStock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’stotal purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtainedby multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exerciseat issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of theHolder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (inwhich case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have beenissued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases CommonStock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock withan aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence theCompany shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payableto the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limita Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decreeof specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stockupon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

  

v. No FractionalShares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. Asto any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election,either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price orround up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges,Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidentalexpense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such WarrantShares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; providedhowever,that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered forexercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a conditionthereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

In addition, a determination as to anygroup status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulationspromulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder mayrely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual reportfiled with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written noticeby the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral requestof a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stockthen outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversionor exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the dateas of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shallbe 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stockissuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitationprovisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of the sharesof Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant heldby the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation willnot be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shallbe construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or tomake changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraphshall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Upon receipt of an Electionto Purchase for a cashless exercise, the Warrant Agent will promptly deliver a copy of the Election to Purchase to the Company to confirmthe number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the cashless exercise. The Company shall calculate and transmit to the WarrantAgent in a written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation under this section to calculate, thenumber of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with any cashless exercise.

Compensationfor Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, ifthe Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section3.3.2(b) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required byits broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares ofCommon Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon suchexercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’stotal purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtainedby multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exerciseat issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of theHolder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (inwhich case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have beenissued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases CommonStock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock withan aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence theCompany shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the numberof shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of sharesof Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the numberof shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of such Warrant beneficiallyowned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-convertedportion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company which would entitlethe holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option,warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holderthereof to receive, shares of Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exerciseanalogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Exceptas set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.3.10, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance withSection 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Companyis not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solelyresponsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section3.3.10 applies, the determination of whether a Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together withany Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of a Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder,and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether a Warrant is exercisable(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of a Warrantis exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirmthe accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordancewith Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.3.10, in determiningthe number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in(A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent publicannouncement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of sharesof Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally andin writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of CommonStock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Warrant, by theHolder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediatelyafter giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant.

Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is deliveredto the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity withthe terms of this Section 3.3.10 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intendedBeneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to suchlimitation.

For purposes of anysuch exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration basedon the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Companyshall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any differentcomponents of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of shares of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or propertyto be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receivesupon any exercise of a Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a FundamentalTransaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrentlywith, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of theapplicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase a Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black ScholesValue (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of a Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction;provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Boardof Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration(and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of a Warrant, that is being offered and paid to theholders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash,stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative formsof consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company arenot offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received commonstock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction.“Black Scholes Value” means the value of a Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the“OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicableFundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate fora period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and theTermination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function onBloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement ofthe applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greaterof (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offeredin such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such applicablecontemplated Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D)a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transactionand the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow.

d) Mechanicsof Exercise.

 

i. Deliveryof Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the TransferAgent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Companythrough its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such systemand either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the WarrantShares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise), and otherwise by book-entry, registered in the Company’sshare register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant tosuch exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) TradingDay and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case after the delivery to the Company of theNotice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holdershall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warranthas been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price(other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of TradingDays comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliverto the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder,in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP ofthe Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifthTrading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such WarrantShares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FASTprogram so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” meansthe standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to theCommon Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

ii. Deliveryof New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder andupon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencingthe rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respectsbe identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. RescissionRights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, ifthe Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by itsbroker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of CommonStock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’stotal purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtainedby multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exerciseat issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of theHolder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (inwhich case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have beenissued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases CommonStock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock withan aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence theCompany shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payableto the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limita Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decreeof specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stockupon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

vi. Charges,Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidentalexpense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such WarrantShares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; providedhowever,that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered forexercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a conditionthereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

e) Holder’sExercise Limitations.

In addition, a determination as to anygroup status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulationspromulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder mayrely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual reportfiled with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written noticeby the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral requestof a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stockthen outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversionor exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the dateas of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shallbe 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stockissuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitationprovisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of the sharesof Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant heldby the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation willnot be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
