RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves
a high degree of risk. This prospectus supplement does not describe all of those risks. You should consider the risk factors described
in this prospectus under the caption “Risks Related to This Offering and Our Securities” below, as well as the those
described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 filed with the SEC on August 26, 2019, together with the other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and in any free writing prospectus
that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before making an investment decision.
If any of these risks occur, our business,
financial condition, results of operations and future prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances,
the market price of our common stock would likely decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Share information set
forth in these risk factors is as of the dates set forth herein or therein and unless otherwise indicated, does not give effect
to the issuance of the securities in connection with this offering.
Risks Related to this Offering and Our
Securities
Investors will experience substantial dilution as a result
of this offering.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we
have agreed to sell up to $50,000,000 of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park over a 36-month period at our option and subject
to certain limitations, and, as consideration for Lincoln Park’s entering into the Purchase Agreement, to issue to Lincoln
Park 815,827 Commitment Shares.
The sale of shares of our common stock
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered
for sale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus supplement is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to Lincoln Park
under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the $50,000,000 of common stock that, together
with the Commitment Shares, is the subject of this prospectus supplement.
Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none
of the shares we issue to it under the Purchase Agreement. Sales by Lincoln Park of shares acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which decline could be significant. The sale of a substantial number
of shares of our common stock by Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity
or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Depending on market liquidity at the time,
sales of shares under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. Sales to Lincoln
Park by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of
a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult
for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect
sales.
For additional details on this financing
arrangement, please refer to “Plan of Distribution” located elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.
In the event we are unable to maintain an effective registration
statement with respect to all of the shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may not be able to access the full
amount available under the Purchase Agreement.
If we do not maintain an effective registration
statement for the sale of additional shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will be unable to access any additional
funds that may be available under the Purchase Agreement. If we were unable to access a portion of the proceeds available to us
under the Purchase Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, it would have a material adverse impact on our operations.
We cannot issue more than 19.99%
of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 19, 2020 to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, including the
Commitment Shares, without stockholder approval.
We cannot issue more shares than 20,288,840
shares (19.99% of our shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 19, 2020) (which we refer to as the “Exchange Cap”)
to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares, (i) unless stockholder approval is obtained
to issue more than the Exchange Cap or (ii) except to the extent the issuances and sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement are deemed to be at a price equal to or in excess of the greater of book or market value of the Common Stock as calculated
in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American. Under the Purchase Agreement, we have committed not to exceed the
Exchange Cap, to the extent applicable, without seeking and obtaining stockholder approval. Such process could be time-consuming
and expensive, and we may not receive any requested stockholder approval. If we seek, but do not obtain, stockholder approval,
the consequences could be material to our financial condition.
We do not currently intend to pay
dividends on our common stock, and any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the
price of our common stock.
At the present time, we intend to use available
funds to finance our operations. Accordingly, while payments of dividends is within the discretion of our board of directors, no
cash dividends on our common stock have been declared or paid by us, and we have no intention of paying any such dividends in the
foreseeable future. Any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our common
stock.
Management will have broad discretion
as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion
as to the application of the net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering.
Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover,
our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our results of operations or the market value
of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the
development and approval of our products and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We need additional funding to execute
our business plan, which funding may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise capital
when needed, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate the commercialization of our development and manufacturing services
and efforts or our product development programs.
We have limited financial resources and
need substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations, especially if we are delayed or are unsuccessful
in attracting and maintaining customers for the development, manufacturing and technology transfer services offered by iBio CDMO.
To the extent that we initiate or continue clinical development without securing collaborator or licensee funding, our research
and development expenses could increase substantially. Additionally, to the extent that our efforts to out-license our technologies
and product candidates are unsuccessful or we find that it is necessary to advance the development of product candidates further
than contemplated by our current business plans to secure favorable licensing terms, we would require substantial additional capital.
Even if we are able to access the full
$50 million under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating
and development plans.
When we elect to raise additional funds
or additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private equity offerings, debt financings,
corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives, as well as through sales of common stock to
Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. Additional equity or debt financing or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements
may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital in sufficient amounts when needed or on
attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or commercialization efforts
and our ability to generate revenues and achieve or sustain profitability will be substantially harmed.
We expect our existing cash on hand as
of March 20, 2020, in the amount of approximately $4.12 million, together with funds we may develop from future sales pursuant
to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and proceeds realized in connection with license and collaboration arrangements and the
operation of our subsidiary, iBio CDMO, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements through June 30, 2021.
Based on our projections, the Company plans to fund its future business operations using cash on hand, through proceeds from the
sale of additional equity or other securities, and through proceeds realized in connection with the commercialization of its technologies
and proprietary products, license and collaboration arrangements and the operation of iBio CDMO.
We have based this projection on assumptions
that may prove to be wrong, in which case we may deplete our cash resources sooner than we currently anticipate. Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including:
|
•
|
further obtaining and retention of developmental, manufacturing
and facility build-out and technology transfer opportunities at the CDMO;
|
|
•
|
the ability to generate and increase third-party client
sales and realized revenue at iBio CDMO;
|
|
•
|
our ability to attract additional licensees or other
third parties willing to fund development, and, if successful, commercialization of product candidates;
|
|
•
|
the costs, timing and regulatory review of our own
product candidates;
|
|
•
|
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent
applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims; and
|
|
•
|
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses,
products and technologies.
|
If we are unsuccessful in raising additional
capital or other alternative financing, we might have to defer or abandon our efforts to commercialize our intellectual property
and decrease or even cease operations.
iBio is subject to compliance under
the NYSE American continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American
Company Guide.
On October 16, 2019,
the Company received notice from NYSE American that it is currently is below NYSE American’s continued listing standards
set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which applies if a listed company has stockholders’
equity of less than $4,000,000 and has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent
fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which applies if a listed company has stockholders’
equity of less than $6,000,000 and has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal
years. NYSE American indicated that a review of the Company shows that the Company is below compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii)
and Section 1003(a)(iii) because it reported stockholders’ equity of $2.46 million as of June 30, 2019 and net losses in
its five most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2019.
On December 9, 2019,
the Company received a further notice from NYSE American that the Company currently is below NYSE American’s continued listing
standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which applies if a listed company has stockholders’
equity of less than $2,000,000 and has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent
fiscal years, as reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 13, 2019.
On January 10, 2020,
the Company received notice from NYSE American that NYSE Regulation has accepted the Company’s November 15, 2019 plan to
regain compliance with the exchange’s continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii)
of the NYSE American Company Guide and has granted the Company through December 9, 2020, subject to periodic review by the exchange,
including quarterly monitoring, to regain compliance with the initiatives outlined in the plan. If the Company is not in compliance
with the continued listing standards by December 9, 2020, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during
the plan period, the NYSE Regulation staff will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
The
Company expects revenues related to its CDMO core services offering, potential commercialization of its technologies and the potential
development and eventual commercialization of proprietary pipeline products. The Company cannot be certain it will succeed in these
activities and may never generate revenues that are significant or large enough to achieve profitability.
iBio is subject to compliance
under the NYSE American continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, related
to securities selling price.
The Company is subject
to NYSE American continued listing standards, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, whereby the Company’s
continued listing is impacted by iBio, Inc.’s securities selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time.
The December 9, 2019
notification from NYSE American described above under “Risk Factors - iBio is subject to compliance under the NYSE American
continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide”
also stated that NYSE American has determined that the Company’s securities have been selling for a low price per share for
a substantial period of time and pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the Company’s continued
listing on the exchange is predicated on the Company effecting a reverse stock split or otherwise demonstrating sustained improvement
in its share price within a reasonable period of time, which the exchange has determined to be no later than June 9, 2020.
The sale of our common stock through
current or future equity offerings may cause dilution and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We are entitled under
our certificate of incorporation to issue up to 275 million shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 1 million shares
of preferred stock. Preferred stock.
On November 30, 2017,
the Company closed a public offering of 2,250,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $2.00 per share raising
gross proceeds of $4,500,000. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to an underwriting agreement entered into between
the Company and Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”). The Company paid Aegis a discount of 7% to the public offering price
with respect to shares purchased in the offering by investors who did not have a pre-existing relationship with the Company prior
to the offering (the “New Investors”), and a discount of 3.5% to the public offering price with respect to shares purchased
in the offering by investors who did have a pre-existing relationship with the Company. In addition to the underwriting discounts,
the Company issued to Aegis 11,000 shares of its common stock, equal to 2% of the aggregate shares of common stock sold in the
offering to the New Investors. The Company incurred underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses of $311,000
related to closing and completion of this public offering.
On June 26, 2018, the
Company closed on an underwritten public offering with total gross proceeds of approximately $16,000,000, before deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The securities offered by the Company consisted of (i)
4,350,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share, (ii) 6,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000
per preferred share, and convertible into an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share, (iii) 5,785 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per preferred share, and convertible into an aggregate of 6,427,778
shares of common stock at $0.90 per share. The Company granted the underwriters A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, a 45-day option
to purchase up to an additional 2,666,666 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 12, 2018, the Company
received approximately $1,350,000, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by
the Company, from the proceeds of the sale of 1,500,000 over-allotment shares of common stock purchased at $0.90 by the underwriter
during the 45-day provision.
On October 29, 2019,
the Company closed a public offering of (i) 2,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) 4,510 shares of the Company’s
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) 25,000,000 Series A warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock
and (iv) 25,000,000 Series B warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The net proceeds to the Company from
the sale of the Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, and Warrants was approximately $4.52 million, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
As of March 18, 2020,
we had issued and outstanding approximately 101,444,205 shares of common stock, one share of iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock,
no shares of Series A Preferred, 5,785 shares of Series B Preferred and 20 shares of Series C Preferred. As of March 18, 2020,
2.23 million options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding and we had approximately 4.27 million shares of common
stock reserved for future issuance of additional option grants under our 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.
In addition, we had
approximately 28,925,000 and 100,000 shares of common stock reserved for future possible conversions of the Series B Preferred
and Series C Preferred, respectively. Accordingly, we will be able to issue up to approximately 138 million additional shares of
common stock and 994,194 shares of preferred stock. Sales of our common stock offered through current or future equity offerings
may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. Sales of our common stock offered through current or future equity offerings
may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to investors,
or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at
a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
Our business
and share price may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) in China and its spread and continued progress in various countries around the world, including the United States,
has led authorities around the globe to take various extraordinary measures to stem the spread of the disease, such as emergency
travel and transportation restrictions, school closures, quarantines and social distancing measures. The outbreak of COVID-19 has
had an adverse effect on global markets and may lead to a major slowdown in the economy in the United States and globally.
On March 11, 2020, iBio filed four provisional
patent applications (the “Patent Applications”) that apply its Virus Like Particle [VLP] platform technology, or its
lichenase carrier immunostimulatory (“LickM”) adjuvant technology, in conjunction with its FastPharming™ Manufacturing
System for treating or preventing infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the agent that causes COVID-19.
In addition, as previously announced, on
February 6, 2020, the Company and Beijing CC-Pharming Ltd. (“BCCP”) executed a Statement of Work 2 (“SOW2”),
pursuant to an existing Master Joint Development Agreement between iBio and BCCP, memorializing their collaborative efforts to
develop and test a new BCCP 2019-nCoV vaccine to be manufactured using iBio’s FastPharming System™.
The contemplated collaborative effort with
BCCP is still in early stages and has not yet progressed in any material respect. There is no assurance that the contemplated collaboration
with BCCP or the Company’s separate activities relating to the development of intellectual property in the field of vaccine
candidate development for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which are reflected in the filing of the Patent Applications described above, will
result in the development of any successful product candidates or generate any proceeds to the Company. These efforts are subject
to the risks relating to the development and commercialization of our technologies and product candidates, risks relating to our
intellectual property and other risks relating to our operations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 2019, which are incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, we may face additional risks
relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential negative effects on our operations, share price and the world economy generally.
The rapidly evolving nature of the circumstances is such that it is impossible, at this stage, to determine the full and overall
impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have, but it could disrupt production and cause delays in the supply and delivery of products
used in our operations, adversely affect our employees and disrupt our operations and manufacturing activities, all of which may
have a material adverse effect on our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We currently intend to use the net proceeds
of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. We may invest a portion of the proceeds in iBio CDMO to be
used by iBio CDMO for its working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date of this prospectus supplement and except
as explicitly set forth herein, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering.
Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. Pending use of the net proceeds of this offering as
described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing investment grade instruments.
The proceeds from this offering will vary
depending on the number of shares that we offer and the offering price per share. We may receive up to $50,000,000 over the term
of the Purchase Agreement. We may sell fewer than all of the shares offered by this prospectus supplement, in which case our net
offering proceeds will be less.
These expected uses of proceeds represent
our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business
conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including
those described in “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above. As a result, our management will have
broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our
management regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will
be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business.
We have not specifically identified the
precise amounts we will spend on each of these areas or the timing of these expenditures. The amounts actually expended for each
purpose may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including the amount and timing of the proceeds from this offering
and our operating expenses. In addition, expenditures may also depend on the establishment of new collaborative arrangements with
other companies, the availability of other financing, and other factors.
We will be required to raise substantial
additional capital to continue to fund our continued activities. We may raise additional capital through additional public or private
financings, as well as collaborative relationships, incurring debt and other available sources. Please see the discussion of the
risks associated with our liquidity under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus
DILUTION
The sale of our common stock to Lincoln
Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. In addition, the lower our stock price
is at the time we exercise our right to sell shares to Lincoln Park, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue
to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the greater dilution our existing stockholders will experience.
Our historical net tangible book deficit
as of June 30, 2019 was $1,083,000, or $0.05 per share of our common stock. Historical net tangible book deficit per share represents
the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding
as of June 30, 2019.
After giving effect to the sales of (a)
an aggregate of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.60 per share, the last reported sale price of our common
stock on the NYSE American on March 18, 2020, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50.0 million, (b) 815,827shares to
Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares, and after deducting estimated offering expenses
payable by us, the as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 would have been $51.1 million, or $0.98 per share.
This represents an immediate increase in the as adjusted net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.93 per share and
an immediate decrease to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering of $0.62 per share, as illustrated by the following
table:

The number of shares of common stock shown
above to be outstanding after this offering is based on 101,444,205 shares as of March 18, 2020 and excludes:
|
·
|
2,233,998 shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of stock options under our 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average exercise price
$1.28 per share;
|
|
·
|
4,266,002
shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan;
|
|
·
|
29,025,000
shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of shares of previously issued preferred stock.
|
To the extent that options or warrants
are exercised, new options are issued under our 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, or we issue additional shares of common stock
in the future, there may be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional
capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current
or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance
of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
LINCOLN PARK TRANSACTION
General
On March 19, 2020, we entered into a Purchase
Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein,
we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $50,000,000 shares of our common stock at our discretion as described below. Additionally,
on March 19, 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, which we refer to in this prospectus supplement
as the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to file with the SEC a registration statement that includes
this prospectus to register for sale under the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued to Lincoln
Park under the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue to Lincoln Park
a commitment fee of 815,827 shares of our common stock upon entering into the Purchase Agreement as Commitment Shares. We are filing
this prospectus supplement to cover the offer and sale of up to $50,000,000 of shares of our common stock and the Commitment Shares.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus also cover the resale of these shares by Lincoln Park to the public.
Regular Purchases
Under the Purchase Agreement, from time
to time on any trading day we select, we have the right, in our discretion, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Purchase
Agreement, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, which amount is subject to certain increases
in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Each such purchase is referred to herein as a Regular Purchase. The purchase
price for shares of common stock to be purchased by Lincoln Park will be the equal to lesser of:
|
(i)
|
the lowest sale price on the purchase date, as reported by the NYSE American; and
|
|
(ii)
|
the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the ten trading days prior to the purchase date.
|
Lincoln Park’s obligation under each
Regular Purchase shall not exceed $5,000,000, however, both the amount and frequency of the Regular Purchases can be increased
upon the mutual agreement of us and Lincoln Park.
Accelerated Purchases
In addition to Regular Purchases, we may,
in our discretion, on any date that we have submitted one or more Regular Purchase notices to Lincoln Park to purchase the full
amount available for a Regular Purchase, and the last closing price of our common stock on the NYSE American is not less than $0.20
per share, direct Lincoln Park to make “accelerated purchases” of shares of our common stock on the following trading
day in an amount up to the lesser of:
|
(i)
|
three times the number of shares purchased pursuant to any Regular Purchase; and
|
|
(ii)
|
30% of the daily trading volume on the date of such accelerated purchase.
|
The purchase price for the shares in an
accelerated purchase will be equal to the lesser of:
|
(i)
|
the closing sale price for the common stock on the date of sale; and
|
|
(ii)
|
97% of the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock on the NYSE American on the applicable accelerated purchase date.
|
Each notice we deliver for an accelerated
purchase must be accompanied by a good faith estimate by the Company of the number of shares that Lincoln Park will be required
to buy pursuant to the accelerated purchase notice and Lincoln Park will not be required to buy a number of a number of shares
that exceeds that estimate.
The Company and Lincoln Park may mutually
agree to increase the amount of common stock sold to Lincoln Park on any accelerated purchase date.
Additional Accelerated Purchases
If we have directed Lincoln Park to purchase
shares of our common stock in the full amount available for an accelerated purchase, on the date of such accelerated purchase (which
is the business day following the corresponding Regular Purchase), we have the right, in our sole discretion, to direct Lincoln
Park to purchase an additional amount of our common stock which will not exceed the lesser of:
|
(i)
|
300% of the number of shares purchased pursuant to the Regular Purchase; and
|
|
(ii)
|
30% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock traded on the applicable additional accelerated purchase date.
|
The purchase price per share for each such
additional accelerated purchase will be equal to the lower of:
|
(i)
|
97% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the applicable additional period on the applicable additional accelerated purchase date; and
|
|
(ii)
|
the closing sale price of our common stock on the applicable additional accelerated purchase date.
|
Each notice we deliver for an additional
accelerated purchase must be accompanied by a good faith estimate by the Company of the number of shares that Lincoln Park will
be required to buy pursuant to the additional accelerated purchase notice and Lincoln Park will not be required to buy a number
of a number of shares that exceeds that estimate.
In the case of Regular Purchases, accelerated purchases and
additional accelerated purchases, the purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.
Other Terms
We may, in our sole discretion, submit
multiple purchase notices to Lincoln Park on a single purchase date, provided that all prior purchases (including those that have
occurred earlier on the same day) have been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder have been properly delivered
to Lincoln Park in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
Other than as described above, there are
no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales
of our common stock to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct
or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement
There is no upper limit on the price per
share that Lincoln Park must pay for our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, but in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln
Park on a day when our closing price is less than the floor price of $0.20 per share. The will be appropriately adjusted for any
reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction and, effective upon the consummation
of any such adjustment, the floor price will be the lower of (i) the adjusted price and (ii) $0.20. There are no trading volume
requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, but there are limitations on the number of shares we can direct Lincoln
Park to purchase, as described below. We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park.
In order to comply with our obligations
under the applicable rules of the NYSE American, the Purchase Agreement limits our sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park
and the issuance of Commitment Shares to 19.99% of our outstanding common stock (20,288,840shares) of our total outstanding common
stock immediately prior to signing the Purchase Agreement), referred to as the Exchange Cap:
|
(i)
|
unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99%; and
|
|
(ii)
|
except to the extent the issuances and sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are deemed to be at a price equal to or in excess of the greater of book or market value of the Common Stock as calculated in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American.
|
The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us
from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our
common stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, would result in Lincoln Park and its affiliates having
beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock, as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder.
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
do not limit our ability to raise capital from other sources at our sole discretion, other than a covenant that that we will not
enter into any “Variable Rate Transaction” as defined in the Purchase Agreement.
Events of Default
Events of default under the Purchase Agreement include the following:
|
•
|
|
the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are a part, lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for sale by us or the resale by Lincoln Park of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of 30 business days in any 365-day period;
|
|
•
|
|
the suspension of our common stock from trading or the failure of our common stock to be listed on NYSE American for a period of one (1) business day;
|
|
•
|
|
the delisting of our common stock from NYSE American; provided, however, that our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Arca, the OTC Bulletin Board, or the OTCQB or the OTCQX operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or any nationally recognized successor to any of the foregoing);
|
|
•
|
|
the failure for any reason by the transfer agent to issue the securities offered hereby to Lincoln Park within three business days after the applicable purchase date or accelerated purchase date (as applicable);
|
|
•
|
|
any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, or any related agreements with Lincoln Park, if such breach would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and such breach is not cured within five business days;
|
|
•
|
|
our voluntary or involuntary participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement;
|
|
•
|
|
if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically via DWAC; or
|
|
•
|
|
if at any time after the commencement date, the Exchange Cap is reached, to the extent it is applicable.
|
Termination
Lincoln Park does not have the right to
terminate the Purchase Agreement upon any of the events of default set forth above. The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate,
however, upon initiation of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us. During an event of default, all of which are
outside the control of Lincoln Park, shares of our common stock cannot be sold by us or purchased by Lincoln Park under the terms
of the Purchase Agreement.
This offering will terminate on the date
that all shares offered by this prospectus supplement have been sold or, if earlier, the date that is 180 days after the expiration
or termination of the Purchase Agreement. We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, without fee, penalty
or cost.
Effect of Performance of the Purchase
Agreement on our Stockholders
All shares registered in this offering
that we issue to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be freely tradable. Shares registered in this offering
may be sold to Lincoln Park over a period of up to 36 months commencing on the date of this prospectus supplement. The sale by
Lincoln Park of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our
common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions
and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some or none of the additional
shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares
to Lincoln Park, after Lincoln Park has acquired the shares, Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time
or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial
dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to Lincoln
Park under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence
of our arrangement with Lincoln Park may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future
at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and
amount of any additional sales of our shares to Lincoln Park and we may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time at our discretion
without any cost to us.

Agreement at varying purchase prices:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus, we are offering up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock, as well as up to 815,827 shares
of common stock as Commitment Shares, that have been issued by us directly to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. This prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus also cover the resale of these shares by Lincoln Park to the public.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase an aggregate of up to $50,000,000 of shares of our
common stock over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we are
issuing 815,827 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park as Commitment Shares, all of which are covered by this prospectus supplement.
The Purchase Agreement provides that, from
time-to-time over the term of the Purchase Agreement, on any trading day, and at our sole discretion, we may require Lincoln Park
to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as a Regular Purchase, provided that the closing price of our Common Stock
on the purchase date exceeds $0.20 per share and subject to a maximum of $5,000,000 per purchase. In addition, upon notice to Lincoln
Park, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of our common stock
in “accelerated purchases,” and “additional accelerated purchases” as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The purchase price per share is based on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale as computed under the Purchase
Agreement. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement. See the section entitled
“Lincoln Park Transaction” above.
Lincoln Park is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Lincoln Park has informed us that it will use an unaffiliated
broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
Such sales will be made on the NYSE American at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market
price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities
Act. Lincoln Park has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from Lincoln Park that will not exceed
customary brokerage commissions. We know of no existing arrangements between Lincoln Park and any other stockholder, broker, dealer,
underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus supplement. At the time a particular
offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents,
underwriters, or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholder, and any other required information.
We will pay the expenses incident to the
registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus supplement to Lincoln Park.
We have agreed to indemnify Lincoln Park and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering
of shares of common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable,
to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Lincoln Park has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities
under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by Lincoln Park specifically for use in
this prospectus supplement or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.
Lincoln Park represented to us that at
no time prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement has Lincoln Park or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or
effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO
of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction. Lincoln Park agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement,
it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.
We have advised Lincoln Park that it is
required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling
stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding
for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution
until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price
of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares
offered by this prospectus supplement.
This offering will terminate on the date
that all shares offered by this prospectus supplement have been sold to Lincoln Park or on any earlier date we provide notice of
termination to Lincoln Park.
The transfer agent and registrar for our
common stock is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol

iBio was established as a public company
in August 2008 as the result of a spinoff from Integrated BioPharma, Inc. and operates in one business segment under the direction
of its Executive Chairman. iBio’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) are as follows:
iBio CDMO LLC (“iBio
CDMO”) (originally named iBio CMO LLC) – iBio CDMO is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 16, 2015
as iBio CMO, LLC to develop and manufacture plant-made pharmaceuticals and provide related services to clients. Effective July
1, 2017, iBio CMO changed its name to iBio CDMO. As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned 100% of iBio CDMO. On January 13, 2016,
the Company entered into a contract manufacturing joint venture with an affiliate of Eastern Capital Limited (“Eastern”),
a stockholder of the Company (the “Eastern Affiliate”). The Eastern Affiliate contributed $15 million in cash for a
30% interest in iBio CDMO. The Company retained a 70% interest in iBio CDMO and contributed a royalty-bearing license which grants
iBio CDMO a non-exclusive license to use the Company’s proprietary technologies for research purposes and an exclusive U.S.
license for manufacturing purposes. The Company retained the exclusive right to grant product licenses to those who wish to sell
or distribute products made using the Company’s technologies.
On February 23, 2017, the Company
entered into an exchange agreement with the Eastern Affiliate, pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the
interest in iBio CDMO held by the Eastern Affiliate in exchange for one share of the Company’s iBio CMO Preferred Tracking
Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Tracking Stock”). After giving effect to the transaction, the Company
owns 99.99% of iBio CDMO. See Note 10 for a further discussion.
iBio CDMO’s operations
take place in Bryan, Texas in a facility controlled by another affiliate of Eastern (the “Second Eastern Affiliate”)
as sublandlord. The facility is a 139,000-square foot Class A life sciences building located on land owned by the Texas A&M
system, designed and equipped for plant-made manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. The Second Eastern Affiliate granted iBio CDMO
a 34-year lease (the "Sublease") for the facility as well as certain equipment (see Note 9). iBio CDMO commenced commercial
operations in January 2016. iBio CDMO expects to operate on the basis of three parallel lines of business: (1) Development and
manufacturing of third-party products; (2) Development and production of iBio’s proprietary product(s) for treatment of fibrotic
diseases and/or other proprietary iBio products; and (3) Commercial technology transfer services including facility design, as

stabilize the price of our securities. Finally, underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed for distributing our securities
in the offering if the underwriters repurchase previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization
transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our securities above independent
market levels. Underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.
Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us and our affiliates in the ordinary course
of business.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES we may offer
The descriptions of the securities contained
in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplements, summarize all the material terms and provisions of the
various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the particular terms of
the securities offered by that prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the
securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below. We will also include in the prospectus supplement information, where
applicable, about material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the securities and the securities exchange,
if any, on which the securities will be listed.
Description of Capital Stock
We are authorized to issue 275,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. Provisions
of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, our first amended and restated bylaws and provisions of applicable Delaware law
may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or other change in control that a stockholder may consider favorable. Pursuant to our
certificate of incorporation, as amended, our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any
additional issuance of common stock could have the effect of impeding or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means
of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium
over the market price for their shares, and thereby protect the continuity of our management. Specifically, if in the due exercise
of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, shares
could be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render
more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
|
·
|
Diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed
acquirer or insurgent stockholder group,
|
|
·
|
Putting a substantial voting block in institutional
or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent Board of Directors, or
|
|
·
|
Effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude
the takeover.
|
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended,
also allows our Board of Directors to fix the number of directors in our bylaws. Cumulative voting in the election of directors
is specifically denied in our certificate of incorporation, as amended. The effect of these provisions may be to delay or prevent
a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder may determine to be in his, her or its best interest, including attempts
that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by the stockholders.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders and are not entitled to cumulative voting for the election
of directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor subject to the rights of preferred stockholders. We do not intend
to pay any cash dividends to the holders of common stock and anticipate reinvesting our earnings. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities and the preferences of preferred stockholders. Shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or
other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to common stock.
Preferred Stock
Our Board is authorized to issue up to
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our Board may determine the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation
preferences, of each series of preferred stock.
The purpose of authorizing our Board to
issue preferred stock in one or more series and determine the number of shares in the series and its rights and preferences is
to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. Examples of rights and preferences that the Board
may fix are:
|
·
|
terms of redemption, and
|
|
·
|
liquidation preferences.
|
The issuance of preferred stock, while
providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult
for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. The
rights of holders of our common stock described above, will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any
preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
We will incorporate by reference as an
exhibit to the registration statement, which includes this prospectus, the form of any certificate of designation that describes
the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering. This description and the applicable prospectus supplement will include:
|
·
|
the title and stated value;
|
|
·
|
the number of shares authorized;
|
|
·
|
the liquidation preference per share;
|
|
·
|
the dividend rate, period and payment date, and method of calculation for dividends;
|
|
·
|
whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate;
|
|
·
|
the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any;
|
|
·
|
the provisions for a sinking fund, if any;
|
|
·
|
the provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights;
|
|
·
|
any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;
|
|
·
|
whether the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, and, if applicable, the conversion price, or how it will be calculated, and the conversion period;
|
|
·
|
voting rights, if any, of the preferred
stock;
|
|
·
|
preemptive rights, if any;
|
|
·
|
restrictions on transfer, sale or other assignment, if any;
|
|
·
|
whether interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary shares;
|
|
·
|
a discussion of any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;
|
|
·
|
the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs;
|
|
·
|
any limitations on issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; and
|
|
·
|
any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the preferred stock.
|
When we issue shares of preferred stock
under this prospectus, the shares will fully be paid and nonassessable and will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or
similar rights.
Description of Warrants
The following description, together with
the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions
of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the
terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series
of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any
warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Specific warrant agreements will contain
additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement, which
includes this prospectus.
General
We may issue warrants for the purchase
of common stock and/or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock
and/or preferred stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.
We will evidence each series of warrants
by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate warrant agreement. We will enter into the warrant agreement with a
warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a
particular series of warrants.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus
supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
|
·
|
the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;
|
|
·
|
the currency for which the warrants may be purchased;
|
|
·
|
if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;
|
|
·
|
if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
|
|
·
|
in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
|
|
·
|
the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;
|
|
·
|
the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
|
|
·
|
any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;
|
|
·
|
the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire;
|
|
·
|
the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;
|
|
·
|
federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;
|
|
·
|
the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and
|
|
·
|
any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.
|
Before exercising their warrants, holders
of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including, in the case
of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive any dividends or payments upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up or to exercise any voting rights.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable
prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise
the warrants at any time up to 5:00 P.M. New York time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
Holders of the warrants may exercise the
warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and
paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that
the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent upon exercise.
Upon receipt of the required payment and
the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If
fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate
for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender
securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
Enforceability of Rights By Holders
of Warrants
Each warrant agent will act solely as our
agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder
of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue or series of warrants. A warrant
agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including
any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant
may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its
right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.
Description of Units
We may issue units comprised of shares
of common stock, shares of preferred stock and warrants in any combination. We may issue units in such amounts and in as many
distinct series as we wish. This section outlines certain provisions of the units that we may issue. If we issue units, they will
be issued under one or more unit agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or other financial institution, as unit agent.
The information described in this section may not be complete in all respects and is qualified entirely by reference to the unit
agreement with respect to the units of any particular series. The specific terms of any series of units offered will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a particular supplement, the specific terms of any series of units
may differ from the general description of terms presented below. We urge you to read any prospectus supplement related to any
series of units we may offer, as well as the complete unit agreement and unit certificate that contain the terms of the units.
If we issue units, forms of unit agreements and unit certificates relating to such units will be incorporated by reference as
exhibits to the registration statement, which includes this prospectus.
Each unit that we may issue will be issued
so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the
rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that
the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:
|
·
|
the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
·
|
any provisions of the governing unit agreement;
|
|
·
|
the price or prices at which such units will be issued;
|
|
·
|
the applicable United States federal income tax considerations relating to the units;
|
|
·
|
any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and
|
|
·
|
any other terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units.
|
The provisions described in this section,
as well as those described under “Description of Capital Stock,” and “Description of Warrants” will apply
to the securities included in each unit, to the extent relevant and as may be updated in any prospectus supplements.
Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and
in as many distinct series as we wish. This section summarizes terms of the units that apply generally to all series. Most of the
financial and other specific terms of your series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unit Agreements
We will issue the units under one or more
unit agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or other financial institution, as unit agent. We may add, replace or
terminate unit agents from time to time. We will identify the unit agreement under which each series of units will be issued and
the unit agent under that agreement in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The following provisions will generally
apply to all unit agreements unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Modification without Consent
We and the applicable unit agent may amend
any unit or unit agreement without the consent of any holder:
|
·
|
to cure any ambiguity; any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below;
|
|
·
|
to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision; or
|
|
·
|
to make any other change that we believe is necessary or desirable and will not adversely affect the interests of the affected holders in any material respect.
|
We do not need any approval to make changes
that affect only units to be issued after the changes take effect. We may also make changes that do not adversely affect a particular
unit in any material respect, even if they adversely affect other units in a material respect. In those cases, we do not need to
obtain the approval of the holder of the unaffected unit; we need only obtain any required approvals from the holders of the affected
units.
Modification with Consent
We may not amend any particular unit or
a unit agreement with respect to any particular unit unless we obtain the consent of the holder of that unit, if the amendment
would:
|
·
|
impair any right of the holder to exercise or enforce any right under a security included in the unit if the terms of that security require the consent of the holder to any changes that would impair the exercise or enforcement of that right; or
|
|
·
|
reduce the percentage of outstanding units or any series or class the consent of whose holders is required to amend that series or class, or the applicable unit agreement with respect to that series or class, as described below.
|
Any other change to a particular unit agreement
and the units issued under that agreement would require the following approval:
|
·
|
If the change affects only the units of a particular series issued under that agreement, the change must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding units of that series; or
|
|
·
|
If the change affects the units of more than one series issued under that agreement, it must be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding units of all series affected by the change, with the units of all the affected series voting together as one class for this purpose.
|
These provisions regarding changes with
majority approval also apply to changes affecting any securities issued under a unit agreement, as the governing document.
In each case, the required approval must
be given by written consent.
Unit Agreements Will Not Be Qualified
under Trust Indenture Act
No unit agreement will be qualified as
an indenture, and no unit agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act. Therefore, holders of
units issued under unit agreements will not have the protections of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to their units.
Mergers and Similar Transactions
Permitted; No Restrictive Covenants or Events of Default
The unit agreements will not restrict our
ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets to, another corporation or other entity or to engage in any other transactions.
If at any time we merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets substantially as an entirety to, another corporation or other entity,
the successor entity will succeed to and assume our obligations under the unit agreements. We will then be relieved of any further
obligation under these agreements.
The unit agreements will not include any
restrictions on our ability to put liens on our assets, including our interests in our subsidiaries, nor will they restrict our
ability to sell our assets. The unit agreements also will not provide for any events of default or remedies upon the occurrence
of any events of default.
Governing Law
The unit agreements and the units will
be governed by Delaware law.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We will issue each unit in global—i.e.,
book-entry—form only. Units in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary,
which will be the holder of all the units represented by the global security. Those who own beneficial interests in a unit will
do so through participants in the depositary’s system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by
the applicable procedures of the depositary and its participants. We will describe book-entry securities, and other terms regarding
the issuance and registration of the units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Each unit and all securities comprising
the unit will be issued in the same form.
If we issue any units in registered, non-global
form, the following will apply to them.
The units will be issued in the denominations
stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders may exchange their units for units of smaller denominations or combined
into fewer units of larger denominations, as long as the total amount is not changed.
Holders may exchange or transfer their
units at the office of the unit agent. Holders may also replace lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated units at that office. We may
appoint another entity to perform these functions or perform them ourselves.
Holders will not be required to pay a service
charge to transfer or exchange their units, but they may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated
with the transfer or exchange. The transfer or exchange, and any replacement, will be made only if our transfer agent is satisfied
with the holder’s proof of legal ownership. The transfer agent may also require an indemnity before replacing any units.
If we have the right to redeem, accelerate
or settle any units before their maturity, and we exercise our right as to less than all those units or other securities, we may
block the exchange or transfer of those units during the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of exercise
and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register
transfers of or exchange any unit selected for early settlement, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges
of the unsettled portion of any unit being partially settled. We may also block the transfer or exchange of any unit in this manner
if the unit includes securities that are or may be selected for early settlement.
Only the depositary will be entitled to
transfer or exchange a unit in global form, since it will be the sole holder of the unit.
Payments and Notices
In making payments and giving notices with respect to our units,
we will follow the procedures as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Certificate of
Incorporation provides for indemnification of our officers and directors to the extent permitted by Delaware law, which generally
permits indemnification for actions taken by officers or directors as our representatives if the officer or director acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation.
As permitted under
Delaware law, our By-laws contain a provision indemnifying directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with an action, suit or proceeding
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
The separation and
distribution agreement that we have entered into with Integrated BioPharma provides for indemnification by us of Integrated BioPharma
and its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the distribution, and a mutual indemnification of each other for product liability claims
arising from their respective businesses, and also requires that we indemnify Integrated BioPharma for various liabilities of iBio,
and for any tax that may be imposed with respect to the distribution and which result from our actions or omissions in that regard.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The legality of the
securities offered hereby has been passed on for us by Andrew Abramowitz, PLLC, New York, New York.

statements of iBio, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and for the years then ended, incorporated by reference
