Private Placement
On March 10, 2022, the
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which
the Company issued and sold, (i) an aggregate of 2,301,353 shares of common stock, (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an
aggregate of 1,302,251 shares of common stock and (iii) Common Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,603,604 shares of common

ownership limitations, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable upon issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable into one
share of common stock at an exercise price per share of $0.001 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof)
and does not expire. Each Common Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price per share of $2.22 (as
adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company engaged Aegis Capital Corp. to serve as exclusive placement agent. The Private
Placement closed on March 14, 2022.
The issuance and sale of the
shares of common stock and the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the issuance and sale of the shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Securities Act, and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation
D promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the Purchase
Agreement, on March 10, 2022, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, with the selling stockholders. Pursuant to the
registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 for the resale by the selling stockholders
of the outstanding shares of common stock that were issued in connection with the closing of the Private Placement, and the shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, within the earlier of (a) 15 days after the filing of the Company’s
annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021 (which occurred on March 21, 2022) or (b) 30 days after the date of the registration
rights agreement. .
We are filing the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus includes forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events or our future financial or operating
performance. We may, in some cases, use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of those terms, and similar expressions that convey uncertainty
of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements
reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events, are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date
of this prospectus and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail in this prospectus
under “Risk Factors” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2022, as well as those described
in the other documents we file with the SEC. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict
all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may
cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties,
you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation
to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as
may be required by applicable laws or regulations.
RISK
FACTORS
An investment in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties
discussed below, as well as those under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC, and as incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as the same may be amended, supplemented
or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed by us after the date
hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Please also read carefully the section above titled “Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements.”
The sale of a substantial
amount of our common stock, including resale of the shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders in the public market, could
adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.
We are registering for resale
7,207,208 shares of common stock, including 4,905,855 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Private Placement Warrants
held by the selling stockholders. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales
might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict if and when selling stockholders may sell
such shares in the public market.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of the common stock covered by this prospectus.
All proceeds from the sale of the common stock will be paid directly to the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds upon the cash
exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, however. Assuming full cash exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, we would receive
proceeds of approximately $8 million. We currently intend to use any cash proceeds from Private Placement Warrant exercises for our drug
development activities and general corporate purposes, including working capital.
To the extent the resale
of the shares of common stock underlying the Common Warrants is registered under the Securities Act and there is a prospectus available
for such registered resale, holders of Common Warrants are required to pay the exercise price for the Common Warrants in cash. If no
such registration statement and prospectus are available following September 14, 2022, the Common Warrants may be exercised through cashless
exercise, where the holder of the Common Warrant receives fewer shares upon exercise of its Common Warrant, but does not pay the Company
any cash to exercise the Common Warrant.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock being offered
by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the selling stockholders, and those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon
exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and Private
Placement Warrants, see the description of the Private Placement in “Summary - Private Placement” above. We are registering
the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. None of the selling
stockholders have had any material relationship with us within the past three years. None of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer
or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the shares of common stock and warrants, as of March 28, 2022, assuming exercise of the warrants (including the Private Placement Warrants)
held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
The third column lists the
shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number
of shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders in the description of the Private Placement referenced above and (ii) the
maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related Private Placement Warrants, determined as if the outstanding
Private Placement Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was
initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to
adjustment as provided in the registration rights agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Private
Placement Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the Private Placement Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such
selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which
would exceed 4.99% or 9.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in
the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder of
the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities
covered hereby on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded
or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling securities:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | settlement of short sales; |
| · | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number
of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| · | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under
this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, and provided the Company is in compliance with the current
public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been
sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will
be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain
states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling
Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them
of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).
