SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 28, 2022

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

logo02.jpg
 

Up to 13,223,140 Units (each Unit contains One Share of Common Stock and One
Common Warrant to Purchase       Share of Common Stock)

 

Up to 13,223,140 Pre-funded Units (each Pre-funded Unit contains One Pre-funded Warrant to Purchase
One Share of Common Stock and One Common Warrant to Purchase       Share of Common Stock)

 

Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Common Warrants and

 

Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Pre-funded Warrants

 

We are offering up to 13,223,140 units, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one common warrant to purchase        share of our common stock (together with the shares of common stock underlying such common warrants). Each common warrant contained in a unit will have an exercise price per share equal to $      per share. The common warrants contained in the units will be exercisable immediately and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. We are also offering the shares of our common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the common warrants contained in the units.

 

We are also offering the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, up to 13,223,140 pre-funded units to purchasers whose purchase of units in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering (each pre-funded unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and one common warrant to purchase       share of our common stock) in lieu of units that would otherwise result in a purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%). Each pre-funded warrant contained in a pre-funded unit will be exercisable for one share of our common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded unit is $0.604 (equal to the price per unit being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001), and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant included in the pre-funded unit is $0.001 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. This offering also relates to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any pre-funded warrants contained in the pre-funded units sold in this offering.

 

For each pre-funded unit we sell, the number of units we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because we will issue a common warrant as part of each unit or pre-funded unit, the number of common warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the units and pre-funded units sold. Each common warrant contained in a pre-funded unit will have an exercise price per share equal to $      per share. The common warrants contained in the pre-funded units will be exercisable immediately and will expire five years after the original issuance date. We are also offering the shares of our common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the common warrants contained in the pre-funded units.

 

The units and the pre-funded units will not be issued or certificated. The shares of common stock or pre-funded warrants, as the case may be, and the common warrants can only be purchased together in this offering but the securities contained in the units or pre-funded units will be issued separately.  This offering will terminate on                 , 2022, unless the offering is fully subscribed before that date or we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date.

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “THMO”. On April 20, 2022, the closing sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.605 per share. The public offering price per unit or pre-funded unit, as the case may be, will be determined between us and the placement agent based on market conditions at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the current market price of our common stock. There is no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

 

 

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this prospectus, together with the additional information described under the headings:

 

“Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information”, and any amendments or supplements carefully before you invest in any of our securities.

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully read and consider the Risk Factors beginning on page 5 of this prospectus before investing. You should also consider the risk factors described or referred to in any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and in any applicable prospectus supplement, before investing in these securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

We have retained H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering and to use its “best efforts” to solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, placement agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue the business goals outlined in this prospectus. In addition, because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount in this offering, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our Company, but we are unable to fulfill our objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Also, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan.

Planned Expansion of Business-- Contract Development and Manufacturing Services for Cell and Cell-Based Gene Therapies

 

In March 2022, our board of directors approved the planned expansion of our business to include contract development and manufacturing services for cell and cell-based gene therapies. We plan to develop and build-out the capabilities to become a world-class Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) for cell and cell-based gene therapies by partnering with Boyalife Genomics Tianjin Ltd., a China-based CDMO organization that is an affiliate our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer (“Boyalife Genomics”), to in-license certain know-how and other intellectual property from Boyalife Genomics, and by leasing and building out a cell manufacturing facility in Sacramento, California. We intend to leverage our existing technology and combine it with the in-licensed technologies to develop a proprietary manufacturing platform for cell manufacturing activities.

 

 

We plan to develop and operate our planned CDMO business through a newly formed division named TG BiosynthesisTM. It is anticipated that TG Biosynthesis will provide high-quality development and manufacturing capabilities, cell and tissue processing development, quality systems, regulatory compliance, and other cell manufacturing solutions for clients with therapeutic candidates in various stages of development.

 

According to a recent article published on Science Translational Medicine, cell therapies have become the “next pillar of medicine”. In 2017, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first CAR-T cell therapy, Kymriah®, for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The cellular drug demonstrated close to 90% response rate in the relapsed and refractory cancer patient group. By the end of 2021, FDA had approved five (5) CAR-T therapies for various forms of blood cancers, and globally there were over 1,200 registered CAR-T cell related clinical trials registered on the National Institute of Health (NIH) clinicaltrial.gov website, targeting a variety of blood and solid tumors.

 

We believe that CDMO cell manufacturing services are becoming increasingly important for cell therapies to make their way through clinical trials. One of the major issues with moving cell therapy products from “bench to bedside” has been manufacturing bottlenecks. The heterogeneous nature of cell therapy products has introduced manufacturing complexity and regulatory concerns, as well as scale-up complexities that are not present within traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing. Additionally, establishing a manufacturing facility for cell therapies requires specific expertise and significant capital which can delay clinical trials. These factors often result in a significant number of cell therapy-based companies seeking CDMOs for their cell manufacturing needs. We believe that we can leverage our current proprietary automated and semi-automated cell processing technologies to more effectively develop CDMO capabilities.

 

In furtherance of our planned CDMO business, on March 24, 2022, we entered into a License and Technology Access Agreement with Boyalife Genomics (the “Boyalife License Agreement”). Boyalife Genomics is an affiliate of our Chairman and CEO, Dr. Chris Xu, and is a Tianjin, China-based cell manufacturing organization that has developed substantial manufacturing technology relating to cell manufacturing services. Under the terms of the Boyalife License Agreement, Boyalife Genomics granted the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates a perpetual exclusive license in the United States to use Boyalife Genomics’ existing and future know-how and U.S. patents rights (if any) relating to cell manufacturing and related processes, including the right to sublicense such know-how and patent rights to our affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing exclusivity, Boyalife Genomics retains the right to use (but not license) the licensed intellectual property in the U.S. for its internal use in connection with the provision of products and services to third parties. In consideration of this license, we will, among other things, pay to Boyalife Genomics a running royalty of 7.5% of our annual net sales of products and services that are covered by one of more Boyalife Genomics’ granted U.S. patents and 5.0% of other products and services covered by the licensed intellectual property. The royalty will be payable on each licensed product or service for a period of 10 years from the first commercial sale of the product or service (or if patented, until the expiration of the applicable licensed patents), and the license will be royalty-free thereafter on such licensed product or service. The agreement also grants us a right of first refusal to purchase any cell manufacturing business or operation of Boyalife Genomics upon the same terms as any third-party offer to buy such business or operation.

 

Also on March 24, 2022, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “CDMO Facility Lease”), with Z3 Investment LLC (“Lessor”) for approximately 35,475 square feet of space in the Sacramento, California area in which we plan to partner with the Lessor to build out into a state-of-the-art current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) compliant facility with 12 cGMP clean room suites (with the Lessor paying to the related build-out costs). The CDMO Facility Lease provides for a lease term beginning on April 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2027, with a right of the Company to extend the lease for 2 additional periods of 5 years each. Lessor is an affiliate of our Chairman and CEO, Dr. Xu.

 

We are targeting the launch of our CDMO services to customers by the end of 2022. The successful development and launch of TG Biosynthesis will require us to raise additional capital, acquire various equipment for the planned operations, hire certain personnel needed to launch the operation, and timely complete the build-out of our leased Sacramento facility. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully obtain such additional capital resources, as such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or available at all. We will need to hire, train, and retain additional employees who have experiences in the cell manufacturing field in order for our CDMO business to be successful.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to invest in our securities or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth under the section titled Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in our other filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference herein. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

Management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of the proceeds from this offering.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. It is possible that our management may use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market value.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book deficit per share of the common stock included in the units or issuable upon exercise of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants in this offering and may experience additional dilution of your investment in the future.

 

The effective price per share of common stock included in the units or issuable upon exercise of the common warrants or the pre-funded warrants being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book deficit per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering.  Based on the public offering price of  $0.605 per unit and $0.604 per pre-funded unit being sold in this offering, and our net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2021, if you purchase units and/or pre-funded units in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.29  per share, with respect to the net tangible book value of the common stock.  Furthermore, if outstanding options or warrants are exercised or the common warrants sold in this offering are exercised, you could experience further dilution. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase units in this offering.

 

Subject to the lock-up provisions described under “Underwriting,” we are generally not restricted from issuing additional securities including shares of common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive common stock or substantially similar securities. We may conduct one or more additional offerings following this offering.

 

The issuance of securities in these or any other offerings may cause further dilution to our stockholders, including investors in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, including investors who purchase securities in this offering.

 

If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity and price of our common stock could decrease and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired.

 

On March 7, 2022, we received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which requires our listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The notification stated that we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 6, 2022, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during this 180-day compliance period the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, then Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. 

 

If compliance cannot be demonstrated by September 6, 2022, we may be eligible for additional time.  To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards on the Nasdaq Capital Market (except the bid price requirement).  In addition, we would be required to provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during this second 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.  If we are not granted an additional 180-day compliance period, then Nasdaq will provide written notification that our securities will be subject to delisting.  At that time, we may appeal the determination to delist our securities to a Nasdaq hearings panel.  There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or otherwise maintain compliance with the other listing requirements.

 

 

Any delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares of common stock, reduce our ability to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholders. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all.

 

The exclusive jurisdiction and waiver of trial by jury clauses set forth in the form of securities purchase agreement and the exclusive jurisdiction clause set forth in the warrants to be issued to purchasers in this offering may have the effect of limiting a purchasers rights to bring legal action against us and could limit a purchasers ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.  

 

Section 5.9 of the securities purchase agreement (a form of which has been filed as exhibit 10.39 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus forms a part), which may be executed by certain institutional investors in this offering, provides for investors to consent to exclusive jurisdiction to courts located in New York, New York and Section 5.21 provides for a waiver of the right to a trial by jury. The waiver of jury trial provision in the securities purchase agreement will not apply to claims under federal securities laws.  The same exclusive jurisdiction provisions are also set forth in Section 5(e) of the warrants to be issued to purchasers in this offering (forms of which have been filed as exhibits 10.40 and 10.41 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus forms a part). These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and/or preference for a trial by jury and may limit an investor’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

A decline in the price of our common stock could adversely affect our ability to raise working capital.

 

Although there is a public market for our common stock, we can give no assurance that an active and liquid public market for the shares of the common stock will continue in the future. In addition, future sales of large amounts of common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. The price of our common stock could also drop as a result of the exercise of options for common stock or the perception that such sales or exercise of options could occur. These factors could also have a negative impact on the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise working capital through future stock offerings.

 

We do not pay cash dividends.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to apply earnings, if any, to the expansion and development of our business. Thus, the liquidity of your investment is dependent upon your ability to sell stock at an acceptable price. The price may increase or decrease and may limit your ability to realize any value from your investment, including the initial purchase price.

 

Holders of our pre-funded warrants or warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire our common stock.

 

Until you acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of your pre-funded warrants or warrants, you will have no rights with respect to shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of your pre-funded warrants or warrants. Upon exercise of your pre-funded warrants or warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares. All of the shares of common stock issued in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

 

The pre-funded warrants and the warrants in this offering are speculative in nature.

 

Neither the pre-funded warrants nor the warrants in this offering confer any rights of common stock ownership on its holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price, as the case may be, and, with respect to the warrants, during a fixed period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the pre-funded warrants may exercise their right to acquire common stock and pay an exercise price of $0.001 per share at any time until the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. Commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the warrants may exercise their right to acquire common stock and pay an exercise price of $      per share of common stock. The warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

 

Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the pre-funded warrants and the warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the pre-funded warrants or the warrants will equal or exceed their imputed offering price. There can also be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of the warrants to exercise the warrants.

 

There is no public market for the common warrants or the pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock included in the units and the pre-funded units being offered by us in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the common warrants or the pre-funded warrants included in the units and the pre-funded units being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the common warrants or the pre-funded warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the common warrants and the pre-funded warrants will be limited.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $7,023,842 from the sale of our securities in this offering, based on an assumed public offering price of $0.605 per unit, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 20, 2022, and assuming the sale of 13,223,140 units and no sale of any pre-funded units in this offering after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The public offering price per unit or pre-funded unit will be negotiated between us and the placement agent based on market conditions at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the current market price of our common stock. This amount excludes the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of common warrants in this offering. If all of the common warrants sold in this offering were to be exercised in cash at an exercise price of $      per share, we would receive additional net proceeds of up to $      . We cannot predict when or if these common warrants will be exercised. It is possible that these common warrants may expire and may never be exercised.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to acquire various equipment, hire personnel, and to fund other expenses, all in furtherance of our planned CDMO business, and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital.  We have not otherwise determined the amounts we plan to spend on more specific areas or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds from this offering. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

 

A $0.10 increase or decrease in the assumed public offering price of $0.605 per unit, based on the last reported sale price for our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 20, 2022, would decrease or increase the number of units sold in this offering by approximately 1,875,622 units and 2,618,444 units, respectively, which would decrease or increase the amount of common stock issued by 1,875,622  shares and 2,618,444 shares, respectively, and the number of common warrants issued by      common warrants and      common warrants, respectively, assuming no sale of any pre-funded units.

 

Similarly, a one million unit or pre-funded unit increase or decrease in the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease the net proceeds to us by approximately $556,600 assuming the assumed public offering price of $0.605 per unit and no sale of any pre-funded units in this offering, and after deducting estimated placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants offered hereby.

 

 

DILUTION

 

If you purchase our securities in this offering, you will experience dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase to the extent of the difference between the combined public offering price per share and related warrants and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering, assuming no value is attributed to the warrants.

 

Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our related liabilities plus the amount allocated to our non-controlling interests. Our historical net tangible book value per share is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021, was approximately $1,298,000, or $0.11 per share of common stock.

 

As adjusted net tangible book value is our historical net tangible book value, after giving effect to the assumed sale by us of 13,223,140 units in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $0.605 per unit, based on the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 20, 2022, assuming no sale of any pre-funded units in this offering and after deducting estimated placement agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021, would have been approximately $8,321,842, or approximately $0.32 per share, which excludes the common warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to be issued to investors in this offering. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.21 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $0.29 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock and warrants in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

Assumed combined public offering price per unit

          $ 0.61  

Historical net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2021

  $ 0.11          

Increase in historical net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering

    0.21          

As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2021 after this offering

            0.32  

Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors

          $ 0.29  

 

This table does not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of the warrants offered hereby or outstanding options and warrants having a per share exercise price less than the public offering price per share in this offering. To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, or restricted stock units vest and settle, investors purchasing our common stock will experience further dilution. In addition, 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 could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

The number of shares of common stock outstanding after this offering as reflected in the table above, is based on the actual number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021, which was 11,911,784, and does not include, as of that date:

 

 

5,839 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our 2006 Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $150.17 per share;

 

 

500 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our 2012 Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $131.99 per share;

 

 

347,081 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $9.54 per share;

 

 

653,248 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, having a weighted average exercise price of $6.97 per share;

 

 

7,960,811 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes; and

 

 

shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants offered hereby.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

 

We are offering (i) up to 13,223,140 units, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one common warrant to purchase       share of our common stock, and (ii) up to 13,223,140 pre-funded units, each pre-funded unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and one common warrant to purchase      share of our common stock. For each pre-funded unit we sell, the number of units we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The share of common stock and accompanying common warrant included in each unit will be issued separately, and the pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock and the accompanying common warrant included in each pre-funded unit will be issued separately. Units will not be issued or certificated. We are also registering the shares of common stock included in the units and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants included in pre-funded units and common warrants included in the units and the pre-funded units offered hereby.

 

Common Stock

 

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except matters that relate only to one or more of the series of preferred stock, and each holder does not have cumulative voting rights.

 

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

 

Holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate in the future.

 

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of pre-funded warrants included in the pre-funded units that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the pre-funded warrant, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of pre-funded warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each common warrant included in the units and the pre-funded units offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per whole share equal to $        . The common warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The common warrants will be issued separately from the common stock included in the units, or the pre-funded warrants included in the pre-funded units, as the case may be, and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. A common warrant to purchase        share of our common stock will be included in each unit or pre-funded unit purchased in this offering.

 

Exercisability

 

The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s pre-funded warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Purchasers of pre-funded units in this offering may also elect, prior to the issuance of the pre funded warrants, to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its pre-funded warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the pre-funded warrants.

 

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a pre-funded warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the pre-funded warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Trading Market

 

There is no trading market available for the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Right as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their pre-funded warrants.

 

Common Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of common warrants included in the units and the pre-funded units that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the common warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of common warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the common warrants.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each common warrant included in the units and the pre-funded units offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per whole share equal to $        . The common warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The common warrants will be issued separately from the common stock included in the units, or the pre-funded warrants included in the pre-funded units, as the case may be, and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. A common warrant to purchase one share of our common stock will be included in each unit or pre-funded unit purchased in this offering.

 

Exercisability

 

The common warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the common warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s common warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the common warrants. Purchasers of the common warrants may also elect, prior to the issuance of common warrants in this offering, to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its common warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the common warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the common warrants.

 

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the common warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a common warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the common warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing

 

We do not intend to list the common warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Right as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the common warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the common warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their common warrants.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

If we (i) effect any merger or consolidation with or into another person, (ii) effect any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) complete any tender offer or exchange offer pursuant to which holders of common stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) effect any reclassification of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) other similar transactions, then the warrant will become the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (or the Company, if it is the survivor) and any additional consideration receivable upon such a fundamental transaction by holders of shares of common stock immediately prior to such transaction.

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent” or “Wainwright”) has agreed to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering pursuant to the terms and conditions of an engagement agreement. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any securities offered by this prospectus, and is not required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus.

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the shares sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of common stock, overallotment purchase rights and warrants by the Placement Agent acting as principal.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”) enables a corporation, in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware Law (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (Certificate of Incorporation), contains such a provision.

 

In addition, Section 145 of the Delaware Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons, including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers or directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that he or she actually and reasonably incurred. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

In the three years preceding the filing of this Registration Statement, we issued the securities described below that were not registered under the Securities Act.

 

 

On April 19, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which we issued and sold to such investor 444,444 pre-funded warrants of our common stock for a purchase price of $1.70 per pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant is immediately exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and will remain exercisable until exercised in full. A holder of a pre-funded warrant does not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, although any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after a notice of increase is delivered to us and the holder may not increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in excess of 9.99%. The gross proceeds to us, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the pre-funded warrants, was approximately $755,555. The offering of the pre-funded warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

On July 23, 2019, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which we issued and sold to such investor an unsecured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “July 2019 Note”). The July 2019 Note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) $1.80 per share or (b) 90% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the date of conversion (subject to a floor conversion price of $0.50). The July 2019 Note bears interest at the rate of twenty-four percent (24%) per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears. Unless sooner converted, all principal under the July 2019 Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereupon, will be due and payable three years from the date of the issuance on July 31, 2022. The offering of the July 2019 Note was not registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)         To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)         To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);

 

(ii)         To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)         To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

 

Providedhowever, that Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)         That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5)         That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)         Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii)         Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

(iii)         The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)         Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)         For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2)         For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
