Company
Overview
We
are a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a nitric oxide (“NO”) generator and delivery
system (the “LungFit® system”) capable of generating NO from ambient air. The LungFit® platform
can generate NO up to 400 parts per million for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. LungFit®
can deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on
demand or maintain a constant dose. We believe that LungFit® can be used to treat patients on ventilators that require
NO, as well as patients with chronic or acute severe lung infections via delivery through a breathing mask or similar apparatus. Furthermore,
we believe that there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit®
platform can potentially address. Our current
areas of focus with LungFit® are persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), community-acquired viral pneumonia
(CAVP) including COVID-19 (previously termed acute viral pneumonia, or AVP), bronchiolitis (BRO) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)
lung infection. The Company’s current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, (the “FDA”), CE marking conformity assessment by a notified body in the European Union (the “E.U.”),
as well as similar regulatory agencies’ reviews or approvals in other countries or regions.
If approved, our system will be marketed as a medical device in the U.S.
An
additional focus of the Company is solid tumors, through our majority-owned affiliate Beyond Cancer, Ltd. For the solid tumor indication
the LungFit® platform is not utilized due to need for ultra-high concentrations of gaseous nitric oxide (“UNO”).
A proprietary delivery system has been developed that can safely deliver UNO in excess of 10,000 ppm directly to a solid tumor. This
program is in preclinical development and will require approval from the FDA or similar regulatory agencies in other countries to enter
human studies. We anticipate beginning the enrollment of patients into the first human trial in the first quarter of calendar year 2022.
We
believe LungFit® will be the first approved system with patented technology that generates NO using room air, enabling
the delivery of unlimited, on-demand NO regardless of dose or flow. To generate the NO, a pump within the LungFit® flows
room air through a small chamber where power, equivalent to a 60-watt lightbulb, ionizes the oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The molecules
recombine as NO. We believe that the on-demand delivery, either to a ventilator circuit or directly to a patient’s lungs, is safe
due to the Company’s system design and the Company’s proprietary nitrogen dioxide (“NO2”) filter.
The NO2 filter removes toxic NO2 for 12 hours when used for PPHN and shorter periods for treating other conditions
that require NO concentrations of 150 ppm or more.
With
respect to PPHN, our novel LungFit® PH is designed to deliver a dosage of NO to the lungs that is consistent with current
guidelines for delivery of 20 ppm NO with a range of 0.5 ppm – 80 ppm (low-concentration NO) for ventilated patients. We believe
the ability of LungFit® PH to generate NO from ambient air provides us with many competitive advantages over the current
standard of NO delivery systems in the U.S., the E.U., Japan and other markets. For example, LungFit® PH does not require
the use of a high-pressure cylinder, does not require cumbersome purging procedures and places less burden on hospital staff in carrying
out safety procedures.
Our
novel LungFit® platform can also deliver a high concentration (>150 ppm) of NO directly to the lungs, which
we believe has the potential to eliminate microbial infections including bacteria, fungi and viruses, among others. We believe that current
FDA-approved NO vasodilation treatments would have limited success in treating microbial infections given the low concentrations of NO
being delivered (<100 ppm). Given that NO is produced naturally by the body as an innate immunity mechanism, at a concentration of
200 ppm, supplemental high dose NO should aid in the body’s fight against infection. Based on our preclinical and clinical studies,
we believe that 150 ppm is the minimum therapeutic dose to achieve the desired pulmonary antimicrobial effect of NO. To date, neither
the FDA nor equivalent regulatory agencies in other countries or regions have approved any NO formulation and/or delivery system for
>80 ppm NO.
LungFit®
PH for the treatment of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
In
November 2020 we submitted a PMA application to the FDA for the use of LungFit® PH in PPHN. There is a standard 180-day
review process that starts upon the FDA’s acknowledgement of the submission, though PMA reviews oftentimes take much longer, sometimes
over a year or more. Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and an increased volume of submissions have led to longer review times by
the FDA. We anticipate an FDA decision on the PMA in the first half of the calendar year 2022.
We
also expect to receive the CE Mark under the Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) in the E.U. in the first half of calendar
year 2022. According to the most recent year-end report from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, sales of NO were $574.1 million in 2020 (up
from $571.4 million in 2019) for the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico and Australia, with >90% in the United States. However,
due to increased competition following the launch of competing nitric oxide delivery systems in the United States, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceutical’s
sales of NO faced a downwards trajectory, reporting $134 million in the first quarter of 2021, $106 million in the second quarter of
2021 and $98 million in the third quarter of 2021. Outside of the U.S. there are multiple market participants which translates to considerably
lower sales than in the U.S. We believe the U.S. sales potential of LungFit® PH in PPHN to be greater than $300 million
and worldwide sales potential to be greater than $600 million. If regulatory approval is obtained, we anticipate a product launch in
the U.S. in the first half of calendar year 2022 and will continue to launch in the EU and globally in 2022 and beyond.
LungFit®
PRO for the treatment of viral lung infections in hospitalized patients
Community-Acquired
Viral Pneumonia (including COVID-19)
Viral
pneumonia in adults is most commonly caused by rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”) and influenza virus. However,
newly emerging viruses (including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, avian influenza A, and H1N1 viruses) have been identified as pathogens contributing
to the overall burden of adult viral pneumonia. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, that has resulted in a global
pandemic. Excluding the pandemic, there are approximately 350,000 annual viral pneumonia hospitalizations in the US, and 16 million annual
viral pneumonia hospitalizations globally. For the broader annual viral pneumonia, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than
$1.5 billion and worldwide market potential to be greater than $3 billion.
We
initiated a pilot study in late 2020 using our novel LungFit® PRO system at 150 ppm to treat patients with CAVP, including
COVID-19. The ongoing trial is a multi-center, open-label, randomized clinical trial in Israel, including patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either inhalations of 150 ppm NO given intermittently for 40 minutes four times per
day for up to seven days in addition to standard supportive treatment (“NO+SST”) or standard supportive treatment alone (“SST”).
Endpoints related to safety (primary endpoint), oxygen saturation and ICU admission, among others, will be assessed.
We
reported interim data from this ongoing trial at the American Thoracic Society or ATS International Conference 2021, which was held virtually
from May 14, 2021 through May 19, 2021. At the time of the data cut off, the intent-to-treat (“ITT”) analysis population
included 19 COVID-19 patients (9 NO + SST vs 10 SST). The data readout showed that 150 ppm NO treatment administered via LungFit®
PRO was safe and well tolerated and demonstrated encouraging efficacy signals. From a safety perspective, there were no treatment-related,
or possibly related, adverse events or severe adverse events. NO2 levels were below 4 ppm at all timepoints (trial safety
threshold is 5 ppm) and methemoglobin (“MetHb”) levels were below 4% at all times (trial safety threshold is 10%). With respect
to the requirement of oxygen support beyond hospital stay, 22.2% of subjects in the NO + SST group compared with 40% of control subjects
had this requirement. There was an observable trend of shortening the duration of hospital stay and duration on oxygen support for treated
patients. The pilot study in adult viral pneumonia, including COVID-19, remains active with trial sites open for enrollment. Additional
detailed study results may be submitted for presentation at an upcoming scientific meeting in April 2022.
Bronchiolitis
(BRO)
Bronchiolitis
is the leading cause of hospital admission in children less than 1 year of age. The incidence is estimated to be 150 million new cases
a year worldwide, with 2-3% (over 3 million) of them severe enough to require hospitalization. Worldwide, 95%3 of all cases
occur in developing countries. In the U.S., there are more than 120,000 annual bronchiolitis hospitalizations and approximately 3.2 million
annual child hospitalizations globally. Currently, there is no approved treatment for bronchiolitis. The treatment for acute viral lung
infections that cause bronchiolitis in infants is largely supportive care and is based primarily on prolonged hospitalization during
which the infant receives a constant flow of oxygen to treat hypoxemia, a reduced concentration of oxygen in the blood. In addition,
systemic steroids and inhalation with bronchodilators are sometimes utilized until recovery, but we believe that these treatments do
not successfully reduce hospital length of stay. We believe the U.S. market potential for bronchiolitis to be greater than $500 million
and worldwide market potential to be greater than $1.2 billion.
Our
BRO program is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pivotal study for bronchiolitis was originally set to be performed
in the winter of 2020/21 but was delayed due to the pandemic. We have completed three successful pilot studies for bronchiolitis. A further
analysis of the three previously reported pilot studies was presented at the ATS International Conference 2021, which was held virtually
from May 14, 2021 through May 19, 2021. Analysis across the studies (n=198 infants, mean age 3.9 months) showed that 150 ppm –
160 ppm NO administered intermittently was generally safe and well tolerated with adverse event rates similar among treatment groups
with no reported treatment-related serious adverse events. The short course of treatments with intermittent high concentration inhaled
NO was effective in shortening hospital length of stay and accelerating time to fit for discharge – a composite endpoint of clinical
signs and symptoms to indicate readiness to be evaluated for hospital discharge. This treatment was also effective in accelerating time
to stable oxygen saturation – measured as SpO2 ≥ 92% in room air. Additionally, NO at a dose of 85 ppm NO showed no difference
compared to control for all efficacy endpoints, while 150 ppm NO showed statistical significance when compared to control.
We
believe that the entirety of data at 150 ppm - 160 ppm NO in both adult and infant patient populations supports further development of
LungFit® PRO in a pivotal study for patients hospitalized with viral pneumonia.
LungFit®
GO for the treatment of Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)
NTM
lung infection is a rare and serious pulmonary disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Patients with NTM lung disease
may experience a multitude of symptoms such as fever, weight loss, cough, lack of appetite, night sweats, blood in the sputum and fatigue.
Patients with NTM lung disease, specifically Mycobacterium abscessus (M.abscessus) representing 20% - 25% of all NTM and
other forms of NTM that are refractory to antibiotic therapy, frequently require lengthy and repeated hospital stays to manage
their condition. There are no treatments specifically indicated for the treatment of M. abscessus lung disease in North America,
Europe or Japan.
There
are approximately 50,000 to 90,000 people with NTM infections in the U.S. In Asia, the number of patients suffering from NTM surpasses
what is seen in the U.S. There is one inhaled antibiotic approved for the treatment of refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (“MAC”).
Current guideline-based approaches to treat NTM lung disease involve multi-drug regimens of antibiotics that may cause severe, long lasting
side effects, and treatment can be as long as 18 months or more. Median survival for NTM MAC patients is approximately 13 years while
median survival for patients with other variations of NTM is typically 4.6 years. The prevalence of human disease attributable to NTM
has increased over the past two decades. In a study conducted between 2007 and 2016, researchers found that the prevalence of NTM in
the U.S. is increasing at approximately 7.5% per year. M. abscessus treatment costs are estimated to be more than double that of MAC.
In total, a 2015 publication by co-authors from several U.S. government departments stated that annual cases in 2014 cost the U.S. healthcare
system approximately $1.7 billion. For this indication, we believe U.S. sales potential to be greater than $1 billion and worldwide sales
potential to be greater than $2.5 billion.
In
December 2020 we began a 12-week, multi-center, open-label clinical trial in Australia and we plan to enroll approximately 20 adult patients
with chronic refractory NTM lung disease. We received a grant of up to $2.17 million from the CFF to fund this study and advance the
clinical development of inhaled NO to treat NTM pulmonary disease. The trial is enrolling both cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and
non-CF patients infected with MAC or M. abscessus. The study consists of a run-in period followed by two treatment phases. The
run-in period provides a baseline for the efficacy endpoints. The first treatment phase takes place over a two-week period and begins
in the hospital setting where patients will be titrated from 150 ppm NO up to 250 ppm NO over several days. During this phase patients
receive NO for 40 minutes, four times per day while MetHb levels are monitored. Patients are also trained to use LungFit®
GO and subsequently discharged to complete the remaining portion of the two-week treatment period at their home at the highest tolerated
NO concentration. For the second treatment phase, a 10-week maintenance phase, the administration is twice daily. The study is evaluating
safety, quality of life, physical function, and bacterial load among other parameters.
We
reported positive interim results in October 2021. At the time of data cutoff on September 6, 2021, eight subjects were successfully
titrated up to 250 ppm NO in the hospital setting, and none required dose reductions during the subsequent at-home portion of the study.
The mean age of subjects was 56.6 years (range: 22 – 73 years) with the majority female (87.5%), a distribution consistent with
real-world NTM disease, and occurring at a higher rate in older adult women than men. 250 ppm NO was well-tolerated in all subjects with
no study discontinuations or treatment-related serious adverse events observed. Methemoglobin and NO2 concentrations remained
within acceptable ranges in all subjects during NO treatment, and below the safety thresholds of 10% and 5 ppm, respectively. The study
continues to enroll patients, and we anticipate reporting the complete efficacy and safety results in the first half of calendar year
2022. If the trial is successful, we would anticipate commencing a pivotal study in the first half of calendar year 2024.
The
Company’s program in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) is in the preclinical stage and we anticipate beginning
a pilot study in calendar year 2022 or 2023.
Ultra-High
Concentration NO in solid tumors through majority-owned affiliate Beyond Cancer, Ltd.
In
November 2021, we secured commitments of $23.9 million in a concurrent private placement of common shares, not to exceed $30 million,
providing the investors with up to 20% equity ownership in Beyond Cancer, a new and independently managed, private company. The funding
is expected to be used to accelerate ongoing preclinical work including the completion of IND-enabling studies, completion of a Phase
1 study, expansion of preclinical programs for combination studies, hiring of additional Beyond Cancer team members, and optimization
of the delivery system, as well as for general corporate purposes. The concurrent private placement is expected to close in the fourth
fiscal quarter.
Beyond
Cancer will benefit from Beyond Air’s NO expertise, IP portfolio, preclinical oncology team, and regulatory progress, and will
pay Beyond Air a single digit royalty on all future revenues. Beyond Cancer will be led by a seasoned leadership team with experience
in emerging healthcare companies and clinical oncology.
Ultra-high
concentration NO has shown anticancer properties in preclinical trials by eliciting an immune response from the host. We have released
this preclinical data at several medical/scientific conferences showing the promise of delivering NO at concentrations of 20,000 ppm
– 200,000 ppm directly to tumors. Results showed that local tumor ablation with NO conveyed anti-tumor immunity to the host. In
our most recent release of data, 8 of 11 mice treated with a single administration of 25,000 ppm NO over five minutes were resistant
to a subsequent tumor challenge and 11 of 11 mice treated with 50,000 ppm NO were resistant to a subsequent tumor challenge. Preclinical
work will continue with a goal of beginning the enrollment of patients in a first-in-human study in the first half of calendar year 2022.

Litigation
Update
On
March 16, 2018, Empery Asset Master, Ltd. (“Empery Master”), Empery Tax Efficient, LP (“Empery I) and Empery Tax Efficient
II, LP (“Empery II), (collectively, “Empery”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the
“Trial Court”), relating to the notice of adjustment of both the exercise price of and the number of warrant shares issuable
under warrants issued to Empery in January 2017. Empery alleges that, as a result of certain circumstances in connection with the February
2018 financing transaction, the 166,672 warrants issued to Empery in January 2017 provide for adjustments to both the exercise price
of the warrants and the number of warrant shares issuable upon such exercise. On August 20, 2020, the Trial Court denied the Company’s
summary judgment motion as to the first and third claim for relief, but dismissed the second claim for declaratory judgment as moot (the
“August 20 Decision”). The Appellate Division First Department denied the Company’s appeal of the August 20 Decision
on September 30, 2021. Following a three day bench trial, the Trial Court issued a decision on October 14, 2021, finding in favor of
Empery on the two remaining claims, granting reformation of the Warrant Agreement, and awarding Empery damages in the aggregate amount
of approximately $5.8 million (the “October 14 Decision”). On November 12, 2021, we filed a notice of appeal. Pending appeal,
we are required to use approximately $7.4 million of cash as collateral to secure a supersedeas bond for the full amount of damages and
interest in the case that we are unsuccessful in our appeal. On September 30, 2021, we recorded an estimate for a contingent loss of
$2.4 million related to the Empery litigation. We, in consultation with outside legal counsel, believe that we have several meritorious
defenses against the claims, and the decision of the Trial Court.
On
December 28, 2021, Hudson Bay Master Fund (“Hudson”) filed a complaint in the Trial Court relating to the notice of adjustment
of both the exercise price of and the number of warrant shares issuable under warrants issued to Hudson in January 2017. Hudson’s
complaint alleges breach of contract and that it is entitled to damages estimated at approximately $2.6 million. We, in consultation
with outside legal counsel, believe that we have several meritorious defenses against Hudson’s claims. We believe that Hudson’s
claims have no merit and we shall vigorously defend such lawsuit.

Risks
Relating to Our Business Operations
Recent
trading in our common stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future.
Our
common stock has recently experienced extreme volatility. In November 2021, our common stock closed as high as $15.61 per share and in
January 2022 as low as $6.06 per share. Our common stock may continue to be volatile and could materially fall for a number of reasons
including:
|
|
●
|
Announcements
by competitors that they have successfully produced an effective vaccine or other treatment option for COVID-19;
|
|
|
●
|
Public
announcement that the rapid spread of COVID-19 has receded;
|
|
|
●
|
Our
ability to obtain FDA approval of the PMA for our LungFit® system;
|
|
|
●
|
The
continued large declines in major stock market indexes which causes investors to sell our common stock;
|
|
|
●
|
The
termination of any other factors which may have created volatility and spike in volume; or
|
|
|
●
|
Other
possible reasons for volatility which we have disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this
prospectus supplement.
|
We
cannot assure you that our stock price and volume will remain at current levels in which case investors may sustain large losses.
We
face business disruption and related risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business
plan.
The
development of our product candidates could be further disrupted and materially adversely affected by a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We experienced significant delays in the supply chain for LungFit® due to the redundancy in parts and suppliers with ventilator
manufacturing which has since been remedied. We continuously assess the impact that COVID-19 may have on our business plans and our ability
to conduct the preclinical studies and clinical trials as well as on our reliance on third-party manufacturing and our supply chain.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to avoid part or all of any impact from COVID-19 or its consequences if a resurgence
occurs.
The
ultimate resolution of two lawsuits against us, while not material to our operations, may be material to our financial statements.
On
September 30, 2021, we recorded an estimate for a contingent loss of $2.4 million related to the lawsuit filed against us in 2018 by
Empery relating to the notice of adjustment of the exercise price of and the number of warrant shares issuable under warrants issued
to Empery in January 2017. In December 2021 Hudson filed a lawsuit against us related to the notice of adjustment of the exercise price
of and the number of warrant shares issuable under warrants issued to Hudson in January 2017. The ultimate resolution of these two lawsuits
against us, and potential lawsuits that may be filed by other holders of warrants issued in January 2017 relating to the adjustment of
such warrants’ exercise price and number of underlying shares, if unfavorable, could result in losses in excess of our current
estimates which may be material to our financial statements.
Risks
Related to This Offering
Our
management will have broad discretion over the use of any net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds,
and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our
management will have broad discretion as to the use of any net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than
those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the
use of any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your
investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in
a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for you.
You
may experience dilution.
The
offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this
offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 6,906,077 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $7.24 per share, the last reported
sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 2, 2022, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50,000,000, and after
deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you would experience immediate dilution of $4.47 per share, representing
the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021, after giving effect to this offering,
and the assumed offering price. The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants would result in further dilution of your investment.
See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate
in this offering. Because the sales of the shares offered hereby will be made directly into the market, the prices at which we sell these
shares will vary and these variations may be significant. Purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will
experience significant dilution if we sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.
Investors
in this offering may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock. Investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to
existing common stockholders, and the price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
Sales
of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress
the market price of our common stock.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair
our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our
common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.
We
do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in
our common stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock.
We
do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in
our common stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time in this offering.
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount,
commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under
or fully utilize the sales agreement with the agents as a source of financing.
We
intend to use net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures,
research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, commercial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies, products
or businesses, and investments. The amounts and timing of these expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the development
of our current business initiatives. Pending use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we may invest the net proceeds
in short-term interest-bearing investment grade instruments.
DILUTION
If
you purchase shares in this offering, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price
of the shares and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.
Our
net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $40,565,000 or $1.61 per share of common stock. Net tangible book
value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of our shares of common stock
outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per
share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this
offering.
After
giving effect to the assumed sale of 7,429,421 shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $7.24 per
share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 2, 2022 and after deducting commissions
and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately
$89,065,000, or $2.77 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.16 per share to existing stockholders
and immediate dilution of $4.47 per share to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering at the assumed offering price. The
following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The
number of shares of our common stock that will be issued and outstanding immediately after this offering as shown above is based on 25,209,749
shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and excludes, as of that date:
|
|
●
|
4,271,160
shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options;
|
|
|
●
|
3,109,627
shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants;
|
|
|
●
|

shares of our common stock underlying restricted stock units pursuant to our amended and restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013
Plan”); and

520,511
shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2013 Plan and 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 Plan”).

The
table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 7,429,421 shares of our common stock are sold during the term of the
sales agreement with the agents at a price of $7.24 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market on February 2, 2022 for aggregate gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time
to time at various prices. An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of
$7.24 per share, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50,000,000 during the term of the sales agreement with
the agents is sold at that price, would decrease our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.24 share and
would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $5.39 per share, after deducting
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from
the assumed offering price of $7.24 per share, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50,000,000 is sold at that
price, would decrease our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.07per share and would decrease the dilution
in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $3.56 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated
offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.
We
may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds
for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible
debt securities, the issuance of these securities may result in further dilution to our shareholders. To the extent that outstanding
options or warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2021 have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, investors purchasing our
common stock in this offering may experience further dilution.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
have entered into a sales agreement with Truist and Oppenheimer, under which we may issue and sell from time to time up to $50,000,000
of our common stock through Truist and Oppenheimer as our sales agents. Sales of our common stock, if any, will be made at market prices
by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including
sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other trading market for our common stock. If authorized by us in writing, the
agents may purchase shares of our common stock as principal.
The
agents will offer our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed
upon by us and the agents. We will designate the maximum amount of common stock to be sold through the agents on a daily basis or otherwise
determine such maximum amount together with the agents. Subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, the agents will use
their commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us. We may instruct
the agents not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. The
agents or we may suspend the offering of our common stock being made through the agents under the sales agreement upon proper notice
to the other parties. The agents and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the sales agreement, to terminate
the sales agreement in each party’s sole discretion at any time.
The
aggregate compensation payable to Truist and Oppenheimer as sales agents equals up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares sold
through them pursuant to the sales agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse the agents for up to $50,000 of the actual outside legal
expenses incurred by the agents. We estimate that the total expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the sales agreement
payable by us, excluding commissions payable to the agents under the sales agreement, will be approximately $125,000.
The
remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory,
or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such common stock.
The
agents will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on each day in which common
stock is sold through them as sales agents under the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock
sold through the agents as sales agent on that day, the volume weighted average price of the shares sold, the percentage of the daily
trading volume and the net proceeds to us.
Settlement
for sales of common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the second business day that is also a trading day following
the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received
in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In
connection with the sales of our common stock on our behalf, each of the agents may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within
the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to the agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.
We have agreed in the sales agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to the agents against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. As sales agents, the agents will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our common stock.
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the symbol “XAIR”. The transfer agent of our common
stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation.
The
agents and/or their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking and other financial services
for us for which services they have received and, may in the future receive, customary fees.

MATTERS

legal matters with respect to the legality of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement will be passed upon

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain, and any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated therein,
contain forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements
other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated herein
and therein by reference, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy,
prospective product candidates and products, product approvals, timing of our clinical development activities, research and development
costs, timing and likelihood of success and the plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated
products are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
express or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,”
“target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar conditional expressions. The forward-looking
statements in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, are only predictions.
We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements, including the factors described under Item 1A “Risk Factors” contained in our
most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the following:
|
|
●
|
our
status as a development-stage company and our expectation to incur losses in the future;

to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.
We
cannot guarantee that the results and other expectations expressed, anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statement will be realized.

SUMMARY
This
summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in
making your investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related
free writing prospectus, including the risks of investing in our securities discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained

Company
Overview
We
are a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a nitric oxide (“NO”) generator and delivery
system (the “LungFit® system”) capable of generating NO from ambient air. The LungFit® platform
can generate NO up to 400 parts per million for delivery to a patient’s lungs directly or via a ventilator. LungFit® can
deliver NO either continuously or for a fixed amount of time at various flow rates and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand
or maintain a constant dose. We believe that LungFit® can be used to treat patients on ventilators that require NO, as
well as patients with chronic or acute severe lung infections via delivery through a breathing mask or similar apparatus. Furthermore,
we believe that there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit®
platform can potentially address. The Company’s current areas of focus with LungFit® are persistent pulmonary
hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), acute viral pneumonia (AVP) including COVID-19, bronchiolitis (BRO) and nontuberculous mycobacteria
(NTM) lung infection. The Company’s current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the FDA, CE
marking conformity assessment by a notified body in the European Union, as well as similar regulatory agencies’ reviews or approvals
in other countries or regions. If approved, the Company’s system will be marketed as a medical device in the U.S.
For
more information about the Company, please refer to other documents that we have filed with the SEC and that are incorporated by reference
into this prospectus, as listed under the heading “Incorporation by Reference.”

RISK
FACTORS
Investing

a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities,
you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell the securities, from time to time pursuant to public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades, “At the Market
Offerings,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act into an existing trading market, at prevailing market prices,
or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents or remarketing firms,
or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
|
●
|
at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
●

the
name or names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
if
the securities are to be offered through the selling efforts of brokers or dealers, the plan
of distribution and the terms of any agreement, arrangement, or understanding entered into
with broker(s) or dealer(s) prior to the effective date of the registration statement, and,
if known, the identity of any broker(s) or dealer(s) who will participate in the offering
and the amount to be offered through each;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the

|
|
|
|
●
|
the
identity and relationships of any finders, if applicable; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.
|
Only
underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If
underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to
time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations
of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement.
We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without
a syndicate. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated
to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any over-allotment or other
option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.
We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement,
naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.
We
may use a remarketing firm to offer the securities in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms
will act as principals for their own account or as agents for us. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities pursuant
to the terms of the securities. A prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with
us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection the
securities they remarket.
If
we offer and sell securities through a dealer, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer
may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of the
dealer and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We
may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale
of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement
states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Dealers
and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on
resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may
be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
We
may sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate
in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive
from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act.
We
may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at
the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery
on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation
of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.
We
may provide agents, underwriters and dealers with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents,
underwriters and dealers, or their respective affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary
course of business.
All
securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter
may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.
We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any
underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation
M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment 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 price. Syndicate-covering
or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or 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 securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to
cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced,
the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
Any
underwriters that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Stock Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the common
stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange
Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive
market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a
passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent
bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when
certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which
might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

The
terms of any securities we offer will be determined at the time of sale. We may issue debt securities that are exchangeable for and/or
convertible into common stock or any of the other securities that may be sold under this prospectus. When particular securities are offered
by us, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed with the SEC, which will describe the terms of the offering and sale of the offered

DESCRIPTION
OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The
following summary of the terms of our common stock is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, copies of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous filings with the SEC. Please refer to “Where You Can
Find More Information” below for directions on obtaining these documents.
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 110,000,000 shares, 100,000,000 of which is designated as common stock with
a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of January 19, 2022, there were 29,798,950 shares of common stock outstanding, held by 106 stockholders
of record. This figure does not reflect the number of beneficial owners of shares of our common stock as a single stockholder of record
often holds shares in nominee name (also referred to as, in “street name”) on behalf of multiple beneficial owners.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders, including
the election of directors. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office
shall elect to such office and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question other than an election to an office shall decide
the question, except when a larger vote is required by law, by our certificate of incorporation or by our bylaws.
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should
so choose.
Dividend
Rights
Subject
to the preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock
are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds.
We have never paid a dividend and we do not anticipate paying a dividend in the foreseeable future.
Liquidation
Rights
In
the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our 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, subject to the satisfaction
of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Other
Rights and Preferences
The
terms of our common stock do not include any preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, nor any redemption or sinking fund provisions.
The common stock is not subject to future calls or assessments by us. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common
stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may classify
and issue in the future.

Description
of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year
period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed
manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies
one of the following conditions:
|
|
●
|
prior
to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder;
|
|
|
●
|
the
interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding
upon consummation of the transaction, excluding for purposes of determining the number of
shares outstanding (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2)
shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right
to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a
tender or exchange offer; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
on
or subsequent to the consummation of the transaction, the business combination is approved
by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders,
and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding
voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
Section
203 defines a business combination to include:
|
|
●
|
any
merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of
10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
subject
to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation
of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
subject
to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing
the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially
owned by the interested stockholder; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees,
pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.
|
In
general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting
stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change of control
or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions
that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price
of our common stock. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws:
|
|
●
|
permit
our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights,
preferences and privileges as it may designate, which issuance could result in the loss of
voting control by other stockholders;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
subject
to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, provide that all vacancies
on our board of directors, including as a result of newly created directorships, may, except
as otherwise required by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
provide
that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate
candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice
in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s
notice;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
do
not provide for cumulative voting rights, thereby allowing the holders of a majority of the
shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the
directors standing for election;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
provide
that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the (i) the chairperson of
the board; (ii) our chief executive officer; or (iii) a majority of the number of authorized
directors; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
provide
that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for:
(A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (B) any action asserting
a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees
to us or our stockholders; (C) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to
any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or
our bylaws; or (D) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs
doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of
our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the foregoing
exclusive forum. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over
all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to
suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim
for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, Section 22 of the
Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to
enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which
the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction.

shares of common stock are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “XAIR.”
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation.
DESCRIPTION
OF OUR PREFERRED STOCK
We
currently have authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which no shares have been designated.
Our
board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock
in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine and fix the number of shares of such series and the designation of such series,
the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series, the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion
rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of the shares of such series. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of
outstanding shares of our preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common
stock. Holders of shares of our preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of our Company before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. In some circumstances, the issuance
of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption
of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of our board
of directors, without stockholder approval, we may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely
affect the holders of shares of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred
stock on the rights of holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred
stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
If
we offer a specific series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will describe the terms of the preferred stock in the prospectus
supplement for such offering and will file a copy of the certificate establishing the terms of the preferred stock with the SEC. To the
extent required, this description will include:
|
|
●
|
the
title and stated value;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
number of shares offered, the liquidation preference per share, and the purchase price;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
dividend rate(s), period(s), and/or payment date(s), or method(s) of calculation for such
dividends;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends
will accumulate;

DESCRIPTION
OF OUR DEBT SECURITIES
This
section describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, any of which may be
issued as convertible or exchangeable debt securities. We will set forth the particular terms of the debt securities we offer in a prospectus
supplement. The extent, if any, to which the following general provisions apply to particular debt securities will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. The following description of general terms relating to the debt securities and the indenture under
which the debt securities will be issued are summaries only and therefore are not complete. You should read the indenture and the prospectus
supplement regarding any particular issuance of debt securities.
We
will issue the debt securities offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement under an indenture to be entered
into between us and the trustee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of the debt securities will include those
stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date
of the indenture. We have filed or will file a copy of the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement in which this
prospectus is included. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
We
may offer under this prospectus up to an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 in debt securities, or if debt securities are issued
at a discount, or in a foreign currency, foreign currency units or composite currency, the principal amount as may be sold for an aggregate
initial public offering price of up to $200,000,000. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities
will represent direct, unsecured obligations of Beyond Air and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.
The

detailed provisions of the indenture and the final form indenture as may be filed with a future prospectus supplement.
General
We

income tax considerations and other material special considerations that apply to these debt securities in the applicable prospectus
supplement.

describe the terms of exchange or conversion in the prospectus supplement relating to these debt securities.
Transfer
and Exchange
We
may issue debt securities that will be represented by either:
|
|
●
|
“book-entry
securities,” which means that there will be one or more global securities registered
in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
“certificated
securities,” which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive
registered form.
|
We
will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry
or certificated securities.
Certificated
Debt Securities
If
you hold certificated debt securities issued under an indenture, you may transfer or exchange such debt securities in accordance with
the terms of the indenture. You will not be charged a service charge for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities but
may be required to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or
exchange.
Global
Securities
The
debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its
nominees identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In such a case, one or more global securities will
be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities
of the series to be represented by such global security or securities.
Unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered
for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary and except in the
circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement
with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.
Protection
in the Event of Change of Control
Any
provision in an indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus that includes any covenant or other provision providing
for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of our debt securities additional protection in the event of a
recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the Company, or a highly leveraged transaction will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Covenants
Unless
otherwise indicated in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, our debt securities may not have the benefit of any covenant
that limits or restricts our business or operations, the pledging of our assets or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe
in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities.
Consolidation,
Merger and Sale of Assets
We
may agree in any indenture that governs the debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus that we will not consolidate with
or merge into any other person or convey, transfer, sell or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person,
unless such person and such proposed transaction meets various criteria, which we will describe in detail in the applicable prospectus
supplement.
Defaults
and Notice
The
debt securities of any series will contain events of default to be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, which may include,
without limitation:
|
|
●
|
failure
to pay the principal of, or premium or make-whole amount, if any, on any debt security of
such series when due and payable (whether at maturity, by call for redemption, through any
mandatory sinking fund, by redemption at the option of the holder, by declaration or acceleration
or otherwise);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to make a payment of any interest on any debt security of such series when due;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
failure
to perform or observe any other covenants or agreements in the indenture with respect to
the debt securities of such series;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
certain
events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
certain
cross defaults, if and as applicable.
|
If
an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, we may agree that the trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the principal
amount (or, if the debt securities of such series are issued at an original issue discount, such portion of the principal amount as may
be specified in the terms of the debt securities of such series) of all debt securities of such series or such other amount or amounts
as the debt securities or supplemental indenture with respect to such series may provide, to be due and payable immediately. Any provisions
pertaining to events of default and any remedies associated therewith will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any
indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus may require that the trustee under such indenture shall, within
90 days after the occurrence of a default, give to holders of debt securities of any series notice of all uncured defaults with respect
to such series known to it. However, in the case of a default that results from the failure to make any payment of the principal of,
premium or make-whole amount, if any, or interest on the debt securities of any series, or in the payment of any mandatory sinking fund
installment with respect to debt securities of such series, if any, the trustee may withhold such notice if it in good faith determines
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of debt securities of such series. Any terms and provisions relating
to the foregoing types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any
indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus will contain a provision entitling the trustee to be indemnified
by holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any trust or power under the indenture at the request of such holders. Any
such indenture may provide that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities
of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee, or of exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series. However, the trustee under any such
indenture may decline to follow any such direction if, among other reasons, the trustee determines in good faith that the actions or
proceedings as directed may not lawfully be taken, would involve the trustee in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to
the holders of the debt securities of such series not joining in such direction.
Any
indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus may endow the holders of such debt securities to institute a proceeding
with respect to such indenture, subject to certain conditions, which will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and which
may include, that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding
make a written request upon the trustee to exercise its power under the indenture, indemnify the trustee and afford the trustee reasonable
opportunity to act. Even so, such holders may have an absolute right to receipt of the principal of, premium or make-whole amount, if
any, and interest when due, to require conversion or exchange of debt securities if such indenture provides for convertibility or exchangeability
at the option of the holder and to institute suit for the enforcement of such rights. Any terms and provisions relating to the foregoing
types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Modification
of the Indenture
We
and the trustee may modify any indenture that governs our debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus with or without the
consent of the holders of such debt securities, under certain circumstances to be described in a prospectus supplement.
Defeasance;
Satisfaction and Discharge
The
prospectus supplement will outline the conditions under which we may elect to have certain of our obligations under the indenture discharged
and under which the indenture obligations will be deemed to be satisfied.
Regarding
the Trustee
We
will identify the trustee and any relationship that we may have with such trustee, with respect to any series of debt securities, in
the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. You should note that if the trustee becomes a creditor of Beyond
Air, the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limit the rights of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases,
or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates may
engage in, and will be permitted to continue to engage in, other transactions with us and our affiliates. If, however, the trustee acquires
any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
Governing
Law
The
law governing the indenture and the debt securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable indenture
and debt securities.
DESCRIPTION
OF OUR UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material
terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with common
stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from
those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future units that we may offer under this prospectus,
we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.
We
will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of unit agreement, including
a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related
series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units, and the unit agreements, are subject to, and qualified
in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to
read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements
that contain the terms of the units.
General
We
may issue units comprised of one or more shares of our common stock or preferred stock, debt securities and warrants in any combination.
Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. 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.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including:
|
|
●
|
the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including
whether, and under what circumstances, those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
rights and obligations of the unit agent, if any;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of
the securities comprising the units.
|
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Our Common Stock,” “Description
of our Preferred Stock,” “Description of Our Debt Securities” and “Description of Our Warrants,” will apply
to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants included in each unit, respectively.
Issuance
in Series
We
may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.
