PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information included elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read and carefully consider the entire prospectus, especially as described in “Risk Factors,” before deciding to invest in common stock.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on exploring the role that cytokine-based therapy can have on the immune system in treating patients with cancer, both as a single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. We are seeking to develop IRX-2, a novel cytokine-based therapy, to treat patients with cancer. IRX-2 active constituents, namely Interleukin-2 and other key cytokines, are postulated to signal, enhance and restore immune function suppressed by the tumor, thus enabling the immune system to attack cancer cells, unlike existing cancer therapies, which rely on targeting the cancer directly. We also are exploring opportunities to advance oncology, blood disorder, and monogenic disease therapies using gene-editing cell-therapy technology through a license with Factor Bioscience Limited, or Factor, and through our acquisition of Novellus, Inc. and Novellus Therapeutics Limited, or Novellus, Ltd.
Acquisition of Novellus
On July 16, 2021, we and our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary Brooklyn Acquisition Sub, Inc. entered into an agreement and plan of acquisition, or the Acquisition Agreement, with (a) Novellus LLC, (b) Novellus, Inc., the sole equity holder of Novellus, Ltd. and, prior to the closing under the Acquisition Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Novellus, LLC, and (c) a seller representative. Novellus, Ltd. is a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company organized under the laws of Ireland that is developing engineered cellular medicines using its licensed, patented non-immunogenic mRNA, high-specificity gene editing, mutation-free and footprint-free cell reprogramming and serum-insensitive mRNA lipid delivery technologies.
The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, or the Acquisition, was held contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Acquisition Agreement. At the closing:
We acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Novellus, Inc. as the result of the merger of Brooklyn Acquisition Sub, Inc. with and into Novellus, Inc., following which Novellus, Inc., as the surviving corporation, became our wholly owned subsidiary and Novellus Ltd. became our indirectly owned subsidiary.
We acquired 25.0% of the total outstanding equity interests of NoveCite, Inc., a corporation focused on developing an MSC product for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, including from COVID-19.
We delivered consideration for the Acquisition totaling approximately $124.0 million, which consisted of (a) $22.8 million in cash and (b) 7,022,230 shares of common stock, which under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement were valued at a total of $102.0 million, based on a price of $14.5253 per share.
The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and certain indemnification provisions. A total of 740,776 of the shares issued as consideration have been placed in escrow for a period of up to 12 months in order to secure indemnification obligations to us under the Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions pursuant to which Novellus LLC has agreed not to engage in certain competitive activities for a period of five years following the closing, including customary restrictions relating to employees. No employees of Novellus Ltd. or Novellus, Inc. prior to the Acquisition continued their employment, or were otherwise engaged by us, following the Acquisition.
In connection with the Acquisition, the co-founders of Novellus, Ltd. entered into lock-up agreements with respect to 3,377,690 of the shares received in the Acquisition, and our Chair of the Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer and President entered into identical lock-up agreements with respect to their current holdings of our stock. Each lock-up agreement extends for a period of three years, provided that up to 75% of the shares of common stock subject to the lock-up agreement may be released from the lock-up restrictions earlier if the price of common stock on our principal stock exchange, now The Nasdaq Global Market, exceeds specified thresholds. The lock-up agreements include customary exceptions for transfers during the applicable lock-up period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The completion of the acquisition of Novellus, Ltd. relieves our wholly owned subsidiary Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics LLC, or Brooklyn LLC, from potential obligations to pay Novellus, Ltd. certain upfront fees, clinical development milestone fees and post-registration royalties under the License Agreement. The agreement with Factor under the exclusive license agreement dated as of April 26, 2021, or the License Agreement, that Brooklyn LLC entered into with Novellus and Factor, which grants Brooklyn LLC exclusive rights to develop certain next-generation mRNA gene editing and cell therapy products, remains unchanged.
On July 16, 2021, in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders pursuant to which we have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, a total of 6,281,454 shares of common stock that have been issued to the selling stockholders under the Acquisition Agreement.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed in “Risk Factors” and include the following:
We are substantially dependent on the success of our internal development programs, and our product pipeline candidates may not successfully complete clinical trials, receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized.
Our product candidates and those of any collaborators will need to undergo preclinical and clinical trials that are time-consuming and expensive, the outcomes of which are unpredictable, and for which there is a high risk of failure. If preclinical or clinical trials of our or their product candidates fail to satisfactorily demonstrate safety and efficacy to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency and any other comparable regulatory authority, additional costs may be incurred or delays experienced in completing, the development of these product candidates, or their development may be abandoned.
We may find it difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials, which could delay or prevent us from proceeding with clinical trials of our product candidates.
We may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate or indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.
We may not generate the expected benefits of our acquisition of Novellus, and the acquisition could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and increase our expenses.
If we fail to maintain orphan drug exclusivity for IRX-2 or we fail to obtain or maintain such exclusivity for any future drug candidate we may license, our competitors may sell products to treat the same conditions, and our revenues would be significantly adversely affected.
We own only a 25% interest in NoveCite, Inc., and that interest may be diluted unless we invest additional funds.
Our current or future product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties when used alone or in combination with other approved products or investigational new drugs that could halt their clinical development, prevent their marketing approval, limit their commercial potential or result in significant negative consequences.
We face business disruption and related risks resulting from the recent pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which could have a material adverse effect on our business plan.
We have a limited operating history and have never generated any product revenue.
Our business is dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of IRX-2, one of our product candidates.
Clinical studies required for our product candidates are expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is uncertain.
We do not have, and may never obtain, the regulatory approvals we need to market our product candidates.
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Gene editing product candidates we may develop based on our exclusive license agreement with Novellus Therapeutics Limited and Factor Bioscience Limited are based on new technology, which makes it difficult to predict the time and cost of development and of subsequently obtaining regulatory approval, if we are able to obtain such approval.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the European Medicines Agency have demonstrated caution in their regulation of gene therapy treatments, and ethical and legal concerns about gene therapy and genetic testing may result in additional regulations or restrictions on the development and commercialization of such products, which may be difficult to predict.
We may be unable to successfully scale up manufacturing of IRX-2 in sufficient quality and quantity, which may delay or prevent us from commercializing the product even if approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory agencies.
We will require substantial additional capital to fund our operations, and if we fail to obtain necessary financing, we may not be able to complete the development and commercialization of any of our product candidates.
Corporate Information
We incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1984. We changed our name from our initial name Alroy Industries, Inc. to NTN Communications, Inc. in 1985, and then to NTN Buzztime, Inc. in 2005 and to Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc. on March 25, 2021. Our principal executive office is located at 140 58th Street, Suite 2100, Brooklyn, New York 11220, and our telephone number is (212) 582-1199. Our website address is www.brooklynitx.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” because the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (a) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (b) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. We may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
Investing in common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before acquiring any such shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below and the risk factors incorporated on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If any of the risks described in our filings incorporated by reference in this prospectus occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be harmed. In these circumstances, the market price of common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Ownership of Common Stock
The market price of common stock historically has been and likely will continue to be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors purchasing our shares.
The market price for common stock historically has been highly volatile, and the market for common stock has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, based both on our operating performance and for reasons that appear to us unrelated to our operating performance. For example, on November 16, 2021, the closing sale price of the common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Global Market was $7.72. Since March 26, 2021, the interday trading price of common stock has varied between a low of $3.59 on April 1, 2021 and a high of $80.67 on May 3, 2021. During this time, we did not make any announcements regarding our financial condition or results of operations. We may continue to incur rapid and substantial increases or decreases in the price of common stock in the foreseeable future that are do not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by us.
In addition, the market price of common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, including:
the level of our financial resources;
announcements of entry into or consummation of a financing;
announcements of new products or technologies, commercial relationships or other events by us or our competitors;
announcements of difficulties or delays in entering into commercial relationships with our partners or customers;
changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance or deviations in our business and the trading price of common stock from the estimates of securities analysts;
fluctuations in stock market prices and trading volumes of similar companies;
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;
additional shares of common stock being sold into the market by us or our existing stockholders or the anticipation of such sales;
discussion of us or our stock price by the financial press and in online investor communities;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us;
failure to maintain compliance with any of The Nasdaq Global Market continued listing standards;
commencement of delisting proceedings by The Nasdaq Global Market; and
additions or departures of key personnel.
The realization of any of the foregoing could have a dramatic and adverse impact on the market price of common stock.
Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the anticipation of such sales, could have a material adverse effect on then-prevailing market prices.
As of November 8, 2021, there were (a) 3,598,048 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with exercise prices ranging from $7.94 to $21.35 at weighted average exercise price of $8.60, (b) 221,640 outstanding restricted stock units with a weighted average intrinsic value of $9.31 per share,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(c) 8,484,936 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our Restated 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, (d) 905,480 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan, and (e) 156,112 shares of outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding which were then convertible into approximately 42,165 shares of common stock, and (f) 445,627 shares reserved for issuance to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC . Registration statements registering the shares of common stock underlying the outstanding options, restricted stock units, and the shares issuable to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC are currently effective. Generally, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A convertible preferred stock, which the holders may do at any time, may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. Accordingly, a significant number of shares of common stock could be sold at any time. Depending on market liquidity at the time common stock is resold by the holders thereof, such resales could cause the trading price of common stock to decline. In addition, sales by the selling stockholders, including the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to obtain future financing. To the extent the trading price of common stock at the time any of our outstanding options are exercised exceeds their exercise price or at the time any of the outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are converted exceeds their conversion price, such exercise or conversion will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders.
We can provide no assurance that claims will not be made to challenge the validity of the ratification of the filing and effectiveness of the certificate of amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 25, 2021 with respect to the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
On September 3, 2021, our stockholders approved the ratification, which we refer to as the Share Increase Ratification, of the amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 25, 2021, which effected an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock by 85,000,000, from 15,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, and which we refer to as the Share Increase Amendment. We subsequently filed a certificate of validation with respect to the Share Increase Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the Certificate of Validation, on September 3, 2021.
Even though we filed the Certificate of Validation, any claim that (i) the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock and related issuance of such shares ratified pursuant to the Share Increase Ratification is void or voidable due to a failure of authorization, or (ii) the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the Share Increase Ratification not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions, which we refer to collectively as the Subsequent Claims, may still be brought within 120 days from the time that the filing of the Certificate of Validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.
We can provide no assurance that Subsequent Claims will not be made within the available time period for making such claims or what the resolution of such Subsequent Claims would be. If Subsequent Claims are made, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, which could result in our filing for bankruptcy or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy being filed against us.
Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders and may restrict our operations.
We may raise additional capital at any time and may do so through one or more financing alternatives, including public or private sales of equity or debt securities directly to investors or through underwriters or placement agents. See “Our ability to raise capital may be limited by applicable laws and regulations.” Raising capital through the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock) may depress the market price of common stock and may substantially dilute our existing stockholders. In addition, our board of directors may issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock. Debt financings could involve covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens or make investments and may, among other things, preclude us from making distributions to stockholders (either by paying dividends or redeeming stock) and taking other actions beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, investors could impose more one-sided investment terms on companies that have or are perceived to have limited remaining funds or limited ability to raise additional funds. The lower our cash balance, the more difficult it is likely to be for us to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Delaware law and provisions in our charter and bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of common stock.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if such a change in control would benefit our stockholders, or to make changes in the board of directors. For example, our certificate of incorporation (a) prohibits stockholders from filling vacancies on the board, calling special stockholder meetings, or taking action by written consent and (b) requires a supermajority vote of at least 80% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares, voting together as a single class, to remove our directors from office or to amend provisions relating to stockholders taking action by written consent or calling special stockholder meetings.
Additionally, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company. Some provisions:
authorize the issuance of preferred stock that can be created and issued by our board of directors without prior stockholder approval, with rights senior to those of the common stock;
prohibit our stockholders from making certain changes to our bylaws except with 66 2/3% stockholder approval; and
require advance written notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. These provisions could discourage third parties from taking control of our company. Such provisions may also impede a transaction in which stockholders could receive a premium over then current market prices and your ability to approve a transaction that stockholders might consider to be in their best interest. In addition, we are governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which may prohibit certain business combinations with stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors, including delaying or impeding a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest involving our company. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the market price of common stock to decline.
Our bylaws designate the state courts of the State of Delaware (or, if no such state court has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or with our directors, our officers or other employees, or our majority stockholder.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to our company or stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. We do not expect this choice of forum provision will apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Although our bylaws contain the choice of forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.
By becoming a stockholder in our company, you will be deemed to have notice of and have consented to the provisions of our bylaws related to choice of forum. The choice of forum provision in our bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees, agents or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they publish negative evaluations of common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry, the price of our stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade the common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the common stock price would likely decline. In addition, if one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of the common stock or fails to publish reports about the common stock on a regular basis, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the common stock price or trading volume to decline.
Requirements associated with being a public reporting company involve significant ongoing costs and can divert significant company resources and management attention.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market, and other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. We are working with our legal, independent accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public reporting company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures, and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public reporting companies will require considerable time, attention of management and financial resources. In addition, the changes we make may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public reporting company on a timely basis.
The listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence, distributing annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, approvals and voting, soliciting proxies, conflicts of interest and a code of conduct. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements. The reporting requirements, rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These reporting requirements, rules and regulations, coupled with the increase in potential litigation exposure associated with being a public company, could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as our directors or executive officers, or to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, on acceptable terms.
Short sellers of our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of common stock.
Short selling is the practice of selling securities that a seller does not own but rather has borrowed, or intends to borrow, from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the stock to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, its business prospects and similar matters calculated to or which may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the securities short. The use of the Internet, social media, and blogging have allowed short sellers to publicly attack a company’s credibility, strategy and veracity by means of so-called “research reports” that mimic the type of investment analysis performed by legitimate securities research analysts. Issuers with limited trading volumes or substantial retail stockholder bases can be particularly susceptible to higher volatility levels, and can be particularly vulnerable to such short attacks.
Short seller publications are not regulated by any governmental or self-regulatory organization or any other official authority in the United States and are not subject to the certification requirements imposed by the SEC in Regulation Analyst Certification. Accordingly, the opinions they express may be based on distortions of actual facts or, in some cases, outright fabrications. In light of the limited risks involved in publishing such information, and the significant profits that can be made from running successful short attacks, short sellers will likely continue to issue such reports. Short-seller publications may create the appearance or perception of wrongdoing, even when they are not substantiated, and may therefore affect the reputation or perception of our company and management.
While we intend to strongly defend our public filings against any such short seller attacks, in many situations we could be constrained, for example, by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial

confidentiality, in the manner in which we are able to proceed against the relevant short seller. Such short-seller attacks may cause temporary, or possibly long term, declines in the market price of common stock and possible litigation initiated against us.
If the common stock were delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market and determined to be a “penny stock,” a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade common stock and an investor may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of common stock in the secondary market.
If the common stock were delisted or suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Global Market, it may be subject to the so-called “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price per share of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions, such as any securities listed on a national securities exchange. For any transaction involving a “penny stock,” unless exempt, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers, subject to certain exceptions. If the common stock were delisted and determined to be a “penny stock,” a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade common stock and an investor may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of common stock.

Common Stock
Voting Rights. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Votes may be cast in person or by proxy. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to election of directors.
Dividends. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared and paid on common stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.
Liquidation and Dissolution. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock.
Other Rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of 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. Outstanding shares of common stock are non-assessable. Holders of common stock are not, and will not be, subject to any liability as stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware General Corporation Law may have Anti-Takeover Effects
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and are designed in part to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the board of directors.
Number of Directors; Vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of directors is established by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the composition of a majority of the board. The board has the exclusive right to elect a director to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship.
Removal of Directors
A director may be removed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of our stockholders can only be called by the board of directors. These provisions may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Delaware Business Combination Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the board of directors or unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered, changed or repealed in any manner prescribed by law, provided that (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to alter, amend, or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with Article X of the certificate of incorporation, which contains the prohibition on stockholder action by written consent and the requirement that special meetings be called only by the board of directors, and (b) Article XI of the certificate of incorporation, which provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no purchase by or from any Controlling Person (as defined below) of shares of our stock owned by such
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Controlling Person shall be made at a price exceeding the average price paid by such Controlling Person for all shares of our stock acquired by such Controlling Person during the two-year period preceding the date of such proposed purchase unless such purchase is approved by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the voting power of the shares of our stock entitled to vote held by Disinterested Stockholders (as defined below), may not be amended without the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the our stock entitled to vote thereon, provided that if, at the time of such vote, there shall be one or more Controlling Persons, such affirmative vote shall include the affirmative vote in favor of such amendment of not less than a majority of the voting power of the shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon held by Disinterested Stockholders. “Controlling Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, association or other organization or entity (including any group formed for the purpose of acquiring, voting or holding our securities) which either directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, owns, beneficially or of record, or controls by agreement, voting trust or otherwise, at least 10% of the voting power of stock, and such term also includes any corporation, partnership, trust, association or other organization or entity in which one or more Controlling Persons have the power, through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, to influence significantly any of the management, activities or policies of such corporation, partnership, trust, association, other organization or entity. “Disinterested Stockholders” means those holders of stock entitled to vote on any matter, none of which is a Controlling Person.
The board may, by majority vote, amend or repeal our bylaws and may adopt new bylaws.
Our stockholders may not adopt, amend, or repeal our bylaws or adopt new bylaws except by the vote or written consent of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of our company.
Exclusive Forum Selection
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to our company or stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. We do not expect this choice of forum provision will apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Although our bylaws contain the choice of forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units
As of November 8, 2021, we had outstanding options to purchase 3,598,048 shares of common stock at a weighted average price $8.60 per share and 221,640 outstanding restricted stock units with a weighted average intrinsic value of $9.31 per share.
Listing on The Nasdaq Global Market
The common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “BTX.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders, which term as used herein includes their transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or other successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which such common stock is traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell common stock 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;
in underwriting transactions;
short sales;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of shares of common stock at a stipulated price;
distribution to employees, members, limited partners or stockholders of selling stockholders;
a combination of any such methods of sale;
“at the market” or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell common stock short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the common stock offered by this prospectus, which common stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also pledge common stock to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A selling stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell common stock not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell shares of common stock covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use shares of common stock pledged by any selling stockholder or borrowed from any selling stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use common stock received from any selling
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any selling stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge shares of common stock to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the common stock short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
Certain of the selling stockholders, or their beneficial owners, have entered into lock-up agreements with respect to 3,377,690 shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. Each lock-up agreement extends for a period of three years, provided that up to 75% of the shares of common stock subject to the lock-up agreement may be released from the lock-up restrictions earlier if the price of common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market stock exchange exceeds specified thresholds. The lock-up agreements include customary exceptions for transfers during the applicable lock-up period.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities 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.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares of common stock is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders pursuant to our registration rights agreement dated July 16, 2021 to use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until such time as: (i) all shares of common stock covered by this prospectus have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with the registration statement; (ii) such shares of common stock shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for such securities not bearing (or book entry positions not subject to) a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by us and subsequent public distribution of such securities shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (iii) such shares of common stock have ceased to be outstanding; (iv) such shares of common stock have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer, or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction; or (v) such shares are eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume limitation.
The common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “BTX.”
