PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

INNOVATION PHARMACEUTICALS INC.

 

5,089 Shares of Series B-2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock

Warrants to Purchase Up To 10,178 Shares of Series B-2 5% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we are offering 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 5% convertible preferred stock, which we refer to as our Series B-2 preferred stock, together with warrants to purchase up to 10,178 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock in two closings. This prospectus supplement also covers the shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and payment of in-kind dividends on the Series B-2 preferred stock, and the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to as our common stock, issuable from time to time upon conversion of the Series B-2 preferred stock.

 

Each share of Series B-2 preferred stock has an initial stated value of $1,080 and may be converted at any time at the holder’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal of the lower of (i) $0.35 per share on or before August 15, 2021, and $0.50 per share thereafter, and (ii) 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on a trading day during the ten trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date. The conversion price may be adjusted following certain triggering events and is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events affecting our common stock.

 

Each share of Series B-2 preferred stock will be sold together with two warrants: (i) a Series 1 warrant, which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Series B-2 preferred stock at $982.50 per share, or 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock in the aggregate for approximately $5.0 million in aggregate exercise price, for a period of up to 18 months following issuance, and (ii) a Series 2 warrant, which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Series B-2 preferred stock at $982.50 per share, or 5,089 shares of our Series B‑2 preferred stock in the aggregate for approximately $5.0 million in aggregate exercise price, for a period of up to 24 months following issuance.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “IPIX.” On December 1, 2020, the last reported sales price of our common stock on the OTCQB was $0.17 per share. There is no established public trading market for our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants on any national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should read “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, to read about factors to consider before purchasing our securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, events, risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those that may be outside of our control and that change over time. As a result, actual results and/or the timing of events could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should consider carefully the risks discussed under the sections captioned “Risk Factors” set forth in the documents and reports filed by us with the SEC, that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which are on file with the SEC and are incorporated herein by reference, as well as any risks described in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding whether to buy our securities. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition, please read “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Please note that additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations.

 

Our Series B-2 preferred stock converts into shares of common stock at a discount to the market price of our common stock. As a result, our common stockholders will experience substantial additional dilution when shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock are converted into common stock.

 

Our Series B-2 preferred stock may be converted at any time at the holder’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal of the lower of (i) $0.35 per share on or before August 15, 2021, and $0.50 per share thereafter, and (ii) 85% of the lowest volume weighted average sale prices of our Class A common stock as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on a trading day during the ten trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date. In addition, the conversion price may be decreased following certain triggering events. As a result, the number of shares of common stock that the holders of our Series B-2 preferred stock will receive upon conversion will increase as our common stock price decreases, and there is no floor to the conversion price, and our common stockholders will experience substantial dilution as shares of our Series B-2 Preferred Stock offered hereby are converted into our common stock. Any dilution or potential dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may contribute to a downward movement in the stock price of our common stock.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds from sales of our securities in this offering, and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

In addition to potential dilution associated with future fundraising transactions, we currently have significant numbers of securities outstanding that are exercisable for our common stock, which could result in significant additional dilution and downward pressure on our stock price.

 

As of November 12, 2020, there were 356.0 million shares of our common stock outstanding. In addition, as of September 30, 2020 there were outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and a convertible note representing the potential issuance of approximately an additional 24.2 million shares of our common stock. The issuance of these shares in the future would result in significant dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock and the terms on which we could raise additional capital. In addition, the issuance and subsequent trading of shares could cause the supply of our common stock available for purchase in the market to exceed the purchase demand for our common stock. Such supply in excess of demand could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

The Company has no history of paying dividends on its common stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company has not previously paid dividends on its common stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our available cash, if any, for use as working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment.

There is no public market for the Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants being offered in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of our Series B-2 preferred stock and the warrants will be limited.

 

Holders of our Series B-2 preferred stock and the warrants will have no rights as a holder of our common stock until such holders convert their Series B-2 preferred stock and exercise their warrants, as applicable, and acquire our common stock.

 

Until holders of our Series B-2 preferred stock and warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Series B-2 preferred stock or exercise of the warrants and conversion of the resulting shares of Series B-2 preferred stock, as applicable, holders of Series B-2 preferred stock and warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such shares of Series B-2 preferred stock and warrants, except as set forth in the related certificate of designation. Upon conversion of the Series B-2 preferred stock or exercise of the warrants and conversion of the resulting shares of Series B-2 preferred stock, as applicable, the holders thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate the net proceeds of the Series B-2 preferred stock and warrants sold by us in this offering, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $4.9 million. We cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the warrants may expire and never be exercised. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general working capital purposes. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing, scope, progress and results of our research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering efforts, and the competitive environment for our product candidates. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. Until we use the proceeds for any purpose, we expect to invest them in short-term investments.

 

DILUTION

 

Our net tangible book value as September 30, 2020 was approximately $3.4 million, or $0.01 per share. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution per share of our common stock to investors in this offering represents the difference between the assumed amount paid per share of our common stock underlying the Series B-2 preferred stock (attributing no value to the warrants in this offering) and the assumed net tangible book value per share of our common stock following the completion of this offering.

 

After giving effect to the sale of 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock for net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming a conversion price of $0.14 per share, which was 85% of the closing price of our common stock on December 1, 2020, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020 would have been approximately $8.3 million, or $0.02 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.01 per share to existing stockholders and assumed immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.12 per share to investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The foregoing dilution information assumes a conversion price for the Series B-2 preferred stock equal to 85% of the closing price of our common stock on December 1, 2020 and is based on 349.0 million shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020. The actual price at which investors convert their Series B-2 preferred stock may be higher or lower than this assumed price and our total shares may continue to change, and is expected to continue to change. An increase of $0.05 per share in the conversion price would result in approximately the same adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering and would increase the dilution in net tangible book deficit per share to new investors in this offering to $0.17 per share, after deducting estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.

 

The foregoing table and discussion is based on 349.0 million shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and excludes approximately 24.2 million shares issuable as of September 30, 2020 upon the exercise of outstanding incentive stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units, and the conversion of amounts outstanding under a convertible loan held by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

In this offering, we are offering 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock and warrants to purchase 10,178 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock, as well as the shares of Series B-2 preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and payment of in-kind dividends on the Series B-2 preferred stock, and the shares of common stock that are issuable from time to time upon conversion of such Series B-2 preferred stock.

 

There is no established public trading market for our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants, and we do not expect any such market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of our Series B-2 preferred stock or the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.

Voluntary Conversions by Holders

 

Each holder of Series B-2 preferred stock may, at any time, elect to convert shares of Series B-2 preferred stock into shares of our common stock at the conversion price, subject to certain beneficial ownership volume limitations described below. The number of shares into which each share of Series B-2 preferred stock is determined by dividing the then stated value of the share of Series B-2 preferred stock by the conversion price. The conversion price is defined as lower of (i) $0.35 per share on or before August 15, 2021, and $0.50 per share thereafter (the “Set Conversion Price”), and (ii) 85% of the lowest volume weighted average sales price of the Class A Common Stock as reported on Bloomberg L.P. at 4:02 p.m. (New York City time) on a trading day during the ten trading days prior to and ending on, and including, the conversion date. The conversion price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events affecting our common stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of a triggering event (as defined below), the variable conversion rate will drop to 70% in (ii) above, and the Set Conversion Price could be adjusted downward under certain circumstances. In addition, in the event we issue dilutive securities within five trading days after a holder’s conversion of Series B-2 preferred stock into common stock, we will issue additional shares of common stock to such holder as provided in the Certificate of Designation.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

In the event we effect certain mergers, consolidations, sales of substantially all of our assets, tender or exchange offers, reclassifications or share exchanges in which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or we consummate a business combination in which another person acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series B-2 preferred stock, the holders of such Series B-2 preferred stock will have the right to receive any shares of the successor or acquiring corporation and any additional consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion in full (including accrued but unpaid dividends thereon) of the Series B-2 preferred stock immediately prior to any of the foregoing transactions.

 

In addition, we have agreed to have any successor entity in any of the foregoing transactions in which we are not the surviving entity to assume in writing all of our obligations under the Certificate of Designation.

 

Limitations on Conversion and Issuance

 

The Series B-2 preferred stock may not be converted and shares of our common stock may not be issued under the Certificate of Designation with respect to such Series B-2 preferred stock if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, a holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

The holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock are limited in the amount of stated value of the Series B-2 preferred stock they can convert on any trading day. The conversion cap limits conversions by the holders to the greater of $75,000 and an amount equal to 30% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock on our primary trading market for the five trading days immediately preceding, and including, the conversion date. However, the conversion cap will be increased if the trading volume in the first 30 minutes of any trading session exceeds certain trailing average daily volume amounts.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock are entitled to receive, and we shall pay, cumulative dividends at a rate per share of 5% per annum (calculated quarterly as a percentage of the stated value per share for each quarterly period). Unless we elect to pay dividends in cash, dividends on a share of Series B-2 preferred stock will increase such share of Series B-2 preferred stock’s stated value and will be payable on each dividend payment date (plus two trading days or standard settlement period, whichever is shorter).

 

 
S-6

Table of Contents

 

If at any time while the Series B-2 preferred stock is outstanding, we make distributions of rights, cash or other assets to holders of our common stock, the holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock will be entitled to participate in such distribution, on a per share basis, as if the shares of Series B-2 preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock (without regard to any beneficial ownership limitation) at the time of payment of such distribution.

 

Liquidation Preference

 

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock shall be entitled to receive out of our assets, whether capital or surplus, an amount equal to such holder’s then stated value for each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock before any distribution to the holders of our common stock or other junior securities. If there are insufficient assets to pay in full such amounts, then the available assets shall be ratably distributed to the holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

 

Redemption Rights

 

Shares of Series B-2 preferred stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions, other than as set forth under “Triggering Events” below. Following 90 days after the second closing, the Company may elect to redeem the Series B-2 preferred stock for 120% of the aggregate stated value then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Series B-2 preferred stock. The Company’s right to redeem the Series B-2 preferred stock is contingent upon it having complied with a number of conditions, including compliance with its obligations under the Certificate of Designation.

 

Voting Rights; Negative Covenants

 

Shares of Series B-2 preferred stock will generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the Company shall not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock:

 

 

·

alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B-2 preferred stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation;

·

increase the number of authorized shares of Series B-2 preferred stock; or

 

 

 

 

·

enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

In addition, so long as any shares of Series B-2 preferred stock are outstanding, the Company may not, without the consent of at 67% of the stated value of the then outstanding shares of Series B-2 preferred stock:

 

 

·

amend the Company’s charter documents, including, without limitation, its articles of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the holders of the Series B-2 preferred stock;

·

enter into any transaction with any affiliate which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the SEC, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors; or

Exercisability, Exercise Price and Term

 

Each share of Series B-2 preferred stock will be sold together with two warrants: (i) a Series 1 warrant, which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Series B-2 preferred stock at $982.50 per share, or 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock in the aggregate for approximately $5.0 million, for a period of up to 18 months following issuance, and (ii) a Series 2 warrant, which will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Series B-2 preferred stock at $982.50 per share, or 5,089 shares of our Series B-2 preferred stock in the aggregate for approximately $5.0 million, for a period of up to 24 months following issuance. The terms of the warrants are subject to extension if we do not have sufficient authorized shares for the issuance of the underlying securities or we do not have an effective registration statement for the issuance of such shares.

 

Following exercise of a warrant, the holder of the warrant may deliver notice of conversion for the underlying Series B-2 preferred stock and receive the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series B-2 preferred stock instead of shares of preferred stock.

 

The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock.

 

Prior to the exercise of any warrants, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of our Series B-2 preferred stock or common stock.

 

Call Provision

 

Subject to the satisfaction of certain circumstances, we may call for cancellation any or all of the warrants following 90 days after their issuance, for a payment equal to 8% of the aggregate exercise price of the warrants being called. The warrants subject to any such call notice will be cancelled ten days following our payment of the call fee, provided that the warrant holders have not exercised the warrants prior to cancellation.

 

Fundamental Transactions.

 

In the event we effect certain mergers, consolidations, sales of substantially all of our assets, tender or exchange offers, reclassifications or share exchanges in which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or we consummate a business combination in which another person acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, then the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants and converted the underlying Series B-2 preferred stock immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Any successor to us or surviving entity is required to assume the obligations under the warrants.

There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following summary describes the material terms of our capital stock and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws that are included as exhibits to certain of the documents incorporated by reference herein and by the provisions of applicable Nevada law. We refer you to the foregoing documents and to Nevada law for a detailed description of the provisions summarized below.

 

Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 600,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of July 7, 2020, there were 328,317,492 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 1,818,180 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Leo Ehrlich, our Chief Executive Officer, holds all of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock and a vested option to purchase 16,181,820 shares of Class B common stock.

 

Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to cast one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders for each share of Class A common stock held, and holders of shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to cast ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders for each share of Class B common stock held. Subject to any limitations provided by law, the holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class, together with the holders of any shares of the preferred stock which are entitled to vote, and not as a separate class. None of our capital stock has cumulative voting rights, and accordingly the holders of a majority of the voting power entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

 

The holders of shares of our Class B common stock at their election have the right, at any time or from time to time, to convert any or all of their shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, on a one for one basis, by delivery to the Company of the certificates representing such shares of Class B common stock duly endorsed for such conversion. Any shares of the Class B common stock that are transferred will automatically convert into shares of the Class A Common Stock, on a one to one basis, effective as of the date on which certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer on the books of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has sole discretion to issue the Class B common stock.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock do not have preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, other than the conversion rights of the Class B common stock described above, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock or Class B common stock. All outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are, and the shares of Class A common stock offered by us in any offering utilizing this prospectus, when issued and paid for, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate in the future.

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, option and other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by our board of directors, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

 

As of July 7, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. On May 9, 2012, our board of directors designated an aggregate of 500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which no shares are currently issued or outstanding. On October 5, 2018, our board of directors designated an aggregate of 20,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of which no shares are currently issued or outstanding.

 

Our board of directors may fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these series by adopting a certificate of designation relating to each series including, but not limited to:

 

 

·

the maximum number of shares in the series and the distinctive designation thereof;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms on which dividends will be paid, if any;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms on which the shares will be redeemed, if at all;

 

 

 

 

·

the liquidation preference, if any;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms of any retirement or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of the shares of the series;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares of the series will be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of capital stock;

 

 

 

 

·

the voting rights, if any, on the shares of the series;

 

 

 

 

·

any securities exchange or market on which the shares will be listed; and

 

 

 

 

·

any other preferences and relative, participating, operation or other special rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares.

 

Our issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. Our issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of Class A and Class B common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Class A and Class B common stock.

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

 

Certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect.

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before meetings of our stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our stockholder meetings and specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our stockholder meetings or from making nominations for directors at our stockholder meetings if the proper procedures are not followed.

 

Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation could be issued at such times, under such circumstances and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.

 

Effect of Preferred Stock. Our board of directors is authorized to approve the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval and to determine the number of shares, the designations and the relative preferences, rights, restrictions and qualifications of any class or series of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could, without stockholder approval, authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting, dividend, redemption, liquidation, sinking fund, conversion and other rights that could proportionately reduce, minimize or otherwise adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of capital stock or other classes or series of preferred stock or that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

We may issue warrants for the purchase of Class A common stock or preferred stock in one or more series.

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent or the Company in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

 

Governing Law

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us.

Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

We may issue units composed of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination.

Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities described in this prospectus on a continuous or delayed basis directly to purchasers, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or the purchasers of the securities, in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange, or otherwise or through a combination of any such methods of sale. Discounts, concessions or commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices, which may be changed from time to time, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:

 

 

·

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including, as of the date of this prospectus, the OTCQB in the case of our common stock;

 

 

 

 

·

in the over-the-counter market;

 

 

 

 

·

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; or

 

 

 

 

·

through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise.

Table of Contents

 

Each time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we shall also provide a prospectus supplement. For each series of securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering including:

 

 

·

the public offering price;

 

 

 

 

·

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

 

 

 

·

the purchase price of the securities;

 

 

 

 

·

the proceeds from the sale of the securities to us;

 

 

 

 

·

any underwriting discounts, agency fees, or other compensation payable to underwriters or agents;

 

 

 

 

·

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or repaid to dealers; and

 

 

 

 

·

the securities exchanges on which the securities will be listed, if any.

 

If we use underwriters in the sale of securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may then resell the securities in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or thereafter. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered if they purchase any securities. The public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we will sell securities to such dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly, and we may sell the securities directly to institutional or other investors, who may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of those securities. The terms of these sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we use agents in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, they will use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell directly, no underwriters, dealers or agents would be involved. We will not make an offer of securities in any jurisdiction that does not permit such an offer.

 

We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of securities an option to purchase additional securities to cover overallotments, if any, in connection with the distribution. Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with SEC orders, rules and regulations and applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law and SEC orders, rules and regulations, an overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. To the extent permitted by applicable law and SEC orders, rules and regulations, short covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the common stock originally sold by the dealer is purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

Table of Contents

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in any distribution of securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions or profit they receive when they resell the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered in the prospectus supplement. We may have agreements with underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that they may be required to make.

 

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain institutions whereby the institution contractually agrees to purchase the securities from us on a future date at a specific price. This type of contract may be made only with institutions that we specifically approve. Such institutions could include banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. The underwriters, dealers or agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of these contracts.

 

Each series of securities will be a new issue of securities. Our Class A common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “IPIX”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, our securities (other than our common stock) will not be listed on any exchange. It has not presently been established whether the underwriters, if any, of the securities will make a market in the securities. If the underwriters make a market in the securities, such market making may be discontinued at any time without notice.

 

Agents, dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers or underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters in connection with the offered warrants and units will be passed upon for us by Hogan Lovells US LLP, Denver, Colorado. Certain legal matters with respect to the offered common stock and preferred stock and with respect to Nevada corporate law will be passed upon for us by Gary R. Henrie, Esq., Alpine, Wyoming. The legality of the securities for any underwriters, dealers or agents will be passed upon by counsel as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
