PROSPECTUS
[MISSING IMAGE: lg_timber-4c.jpg]
46,583,333 Shares of Common Stock
Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to 20,083,334 Shares of Common Stock
Common Warrants to Purchase up to 66,666,667 Shares of Common Stock
Shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants
We are offering 46,583,333 shares of common stock, together with common warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common stock at a combined public offering price of $0.12 per share and common warrant (and the shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the common warrants) pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of common stock and common warrant will be separately issued, but the shares of common stock and common warrants will be issued to purchasers in the ratio of one-to-one. Each common warrant will have an exercise price of $0.12 per share, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
We are also offering pre-funded warrants to purchase 20,083,334 shares of common stock (and the shares of common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants) to those purchasers, whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock following the consummation of this offering in lieu of the shares of our common stock that would result in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%). Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Each pre-funded warrant is being issued together with the same common warrant described above. The combined public offering price for each such pre-funded warrant, together with the common warrant, is $0.1199 which is equal to the price at which a share of common stock and accompanying common warrant are sold to the public in this offering less the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each such pre-funded warrant. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable upon issuance and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants and common warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or common warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the pre-funded warrants or common warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants will be limited.

Overview
Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Timber”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for orphan dermatologic diseases. Our investigational therapies have proven mechanisms-of-action backed by decades of clinical experience and well-established CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and control) and safety profiles. We are initially focused on developing non-systemic treatments for rare dermatologic diseases including congenital ichthyosis (“CI”) and other sclerotic skin diseases. Our lead late-stage program is TMB-001. TMB-003 is our earliest stage program.
For additional information regarding our business, see the section entitled “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
TMB-001
TMB-001, a patented topical formulation of isotretinoin using our patented IPEG™ delivery system, completed its Phase 2b clinical trial (the CONTROL study) in the fourth quarter of 2021, for the treatment of moderate to severe subtypes of CI, a group of rare genetic keratinization disorders that lead to dry, thickened, and scaling skin. This study demonstrated what we believe to be a clinically meaningful reduction in targeted and overall severity of CI along with a favorable safety profile. A prior Phase 1/2 study involving 19 patients with CI demonstrated safety and a signal of preliminary efficacy of TMB-001, as well as minimal systemic absorption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) (through its Orphan Products Grant program) awarded us a $1.5 million grant to support clinical trials evaluating TMB-001.
On October 7, 2021, we announced the completion of our Phase 2b trial in CI. The Phase 2b CONTROL study was a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of two concentrations of TMB-001 (0.05% and 0.1% isotretinoin) for the treatment of two distinct subtypes of moderate-to-severe CI (X-linked recessive and lamellar ichthyosis) in patients (n=33) three years old or older. Subjects applied TMB-001 twice daily for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the reduction of targeted ichthyosis severity, determined by a 50 percent or greater reduction in the validated Visual Index for Ichthyosis Severity (“VIIS”) scaling score (or VIIS-50), a change we view as clinically meaningful. Secondary endpoints included reduction in overall ichthyosis severity, as measured by a two-point improvement using the (IGA) scale, also considered to be a clinically relevant improvement. The study was not designed or powered for statistical analysis of the endpoints and was intended to provide information for future development.

Top-line results including descriptive statistics are described below:
•
In the per protocol (the “PP”) population, 100 percent (nominal p= .04) and 40 percent (nominal p= ns) of patients treated with TMB-001 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively, achieved VIIS-50 compared to 40 percent in the vehicle group.
​
•
In the intent to treat (the “ITT”) population, 64 percent (nominal p= 0.17) and 40 percent (nominal p= ns) of patients treated with TMB-001 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively, achieved VIIS-50 compared to 33 percent in the vehicle group.
​
•
In the PP population, 100 percent (nominal p=.002) and 60 percent (nominal p=ns) of patients treated with TMB-001 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively, achieved a ≥2 point improvement in the IGA at week 12 compared to 10 percent in the vehicle group.
​
•
In the ITT population, 55 percent (nominal p=.02) and 40 percent (nominal p=ns) of patients treated with TMB-001 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively, achieved a ≥2 point improvement in the IGA at week 12 compared to 8 percent in the vehicle group.
​
•
TMB-001 was generally well tolerated with a similar incidence of adverse events (AEs) across treatment groups. The most frequent AEs were local adverse effects common for such topical treatments. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAE).
​
On February 3, 2022, we announced the successful completion of an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA that resulted in a clear path to progress to a pivotal Phase 3 study for TMB-001. The clinical development program for TMB-001 includes a Phase 3 study with an efficacy arm and a maximum use pharmacokinetic arm as well as a smaller bridging study required to bridge to the oral reference product. Based on FDA feedback at the End-of-Phase 2 meeting, we initiated a pivotal Phase 3 study of TMB-001 in the second quarter of 2022.
On March 25, 2022, we announced a late-breaking presentation of a sub-analysis of the Company’s Phase 2b CONTROL study that evaluated TMB-001 was made by a third party at the American Academy of Dermatology 2022 Annual Meeting. The sub-type analysis found that TMB-001 0.05% demonstrated a substantially greater proportion of patients achieving VIIS-50 and ≥2-grade IGA improvement compared with vehicle regardless of subtype. Among enrolled patients (TMB-001 0.05% [n=11], 0.1% [n=10], and vehicle [n=12]), 55% had autosomal recessive CI lamellar ichthyosis (ARCI-LI) and 45% X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI) subtypes.
On April 7, 2022, we received a notice of allowance from the Korean Intellectual Property Office for a patent application covering TMB-001(Application Number: 10-2018-7014948). Additional patent applications are pending for TMB-001 in several other countries.
On April 28, 2022, we announced the FDA granted Fast Track designation to TMB-001 for the treatment of XLRI and ARCI-LI.
On May 31, 2022, we announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to TMB-001 for the treatment of CI.
On June 2, 2022, we filed a divisional Korean patent application covering claims to additional subject matter in view of the Korean Patent Application Number: 10-2018-7014948 to issue on June 3, 2022.
On June 3, 2022, TMB-001 Korean Patent Application Number: 10-2018-7014948 issued as Korean Patent Number: 10-2406880.
On June 23, 2022, we announced that the first four patients have been enrolled in in the pivotal Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial.
On June 30, 2022, we received a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a patent application covering TMB-001 (Application Number: 16/875,710) covering claims to the uses and methods of treating congenital ichthyosis and administering isotretinoin.
On July 13, 2022, we paid the issue fee for the allowed TMB-001 Application Number: 16/875,710 and we filed a US continuation patent application covering claims to additional subject matter.

TMB-003
The earliest stage product in our pipeline is TMB-003, a proprietary formulation of Sitaxsentan, a new chemical entity in the U.S., which is a selective endothelin-A receptor antagonist. It is currently in preclinical development as a locally applied formulation for the treatment of sclerotic skin diseases. The two disease areas under consideration include Lichen Sclerosis, a rare chronic disease of vulvae and perianal areas, and Localized Scleroderma, a chromic connective tissue disease that also affects other organ systems.
On January 12, 2021, we announced that the FDA has granted orphan drug designation for TMB-003, our locally delivered formulation of Sitaxsentan, for the treatment of Systemic Sclerosis. We are considering pursuing additional orphan drug designations in other indications in the future.
BPX-01 and BPX-04
In connection with the merger with BioPharmX Corporation on May 18, 2020, we acquired the BPX-01 and BPX-04 assets. BPX-01 is a Phase 3 ready topical minocycline for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris. BPX-04 is a Phase 3 ready topical minocycline for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea. On September 15, 2020, we announced that we had received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a Company patent application covering BPX-01 and BPX-04 (U.S. Patent Application No.: 16/514,459) and the application was subsequently issued on January 5, 2021, as US 10,881,672. We are seeking to monetize these assets through a license, co-development, or sale.
AFT License Agreement
On July 5, 2019, we entered into a license agreement with AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited (“AFT”) which provided us with (i) an exclusive license to certain licensed patents, licensed know-how and AFT trademarks to commercialize the Pascomer® product in the United States, Canada and Mexico and (ii) a co-exclusive license to develop the Pascomer® product in this territory. Concurrently, we granted to AFT an exclusive license to commercialize the Pascomer® product outside of its territory and co-exclusive sublicense to develop and manufacture the licensed product for commercialization outside of its territory (the “AFT License Agreement”).
The development of Pascomer had been conducted pursuant to a written development plan, written by AFT and approved by the joint steering committee, which had been reviewed on at least an annual basis. AFT agreed to perform clinical trials of Pascomer in the specified territory and perform all CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) and related activities to support regulatory approval. We were responsible for all expenses incurred by AFT during the term of the AFT License Agreement and equally shared all costs and expenses with AFT, incurred by AFT for development and marketing work performed in furtherance of regulatory approval and commercialization worldwide, outside of the specified territory. We were entitled to receive 50% of the economics (royalties and milestones) in any licensing transaction that AFT executes outside of North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. In March 2021 we announced that AFT had signed an exclusive license and supply agreement with Desitin Arzneimittel GmbH (“Desitin”) for Pascomer for the treatment of facial angiofibromas (“FAs”) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (“TSC”) in Europe.
Pursuant to the AFT License Agreement, we were obligated to reimburse AFT for previously spent development costs, subject to certain limitations, and to pay a one-time, irrevocable, and non-creditable upfront payment to AFT, payable in scheduled installments which was paid in 2020.
AFT was entitled to up to $25.5 million of cash milestone payments if TMB-002 achieved certain regulatory and commercial milestones, with the first payment of $1.0 million upon the successful completion of a Phase 2b trial defined as the achievement of the trial’s primary clinical endpoints. In addition, AFT was entitled to net sales royalties ranging from high single digits to low double digits for the program licensed. The potential regulatory and commercial milestones were not considered probable as of June 30, 2022, and therefore no milestone payments have been accrued at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
TMB-002, a proprietary topical formulation of rapamycin, was recently evaluated in a Phase 2b clinical trial for the treatment of FAs in TSC, a multisystem genetic disorder resulting in the growth of hamartomas in multiple organs. TSC results from dysregulation in the mTOR pathway, and as a topical mTOR inhibitor,
 
3
 
TMB-002, marketed under the brand name Pascomer, may address FAs in TSC without the level of systemic absorption of an oral agent. As of April 30, 2022, recruitment had been finalized on the TMB-002 Phase 2b trial with a total of 114 consented (108 randomized) patients.
On April 4, 2022, Nobelpharma America LLC (“Nobelpharma”) announced that the FDA has approved HYFTOR™ (sirolimus topical gel) 0.2% as the first topical treatment indicated for FAs associated with TSC in adults and children six (6) years of age or older. The approval of this program in the United States and the protection granted under the Orphan Drug Act represent a major shift in the commercial opportunity and environment for TMB-002. As TMB-002 is intended for treatment of the same indication, we do not intend to proceed with a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of TMB-002 in FAs at this time.
On July 23, 2022, we provided written notice to AFT of our decision to terminate the AFT License Agreement, dated as of July 5, 2019, by and between Timber Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and AFT, because we believed there is no longer a commercially reasonable path to approval and commercialization for TMB-002 in the United States for FAs associated with TSC. Additionally, following the receipt and analysis of topline data for the Phase II Clinical Trial (as defined in the AFT License Agreement) it was determined that the study failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoint. Under the AFT License Agreement, we were required to provide 120 days’ prior written notice of termination to AFT which was waived by AFT on July 25, 2022 (the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date, the rights and licenses to TMB-002 reverted to AFT, among other things, as set forth in the AFT License Agreement.
Other Recent Developments
Patagonia Asset Acquisition Agreement Amendment
As previously disclosed, on February 28, 2019, we acquired the intellectual property rights to a topical formulation of isotretinoin for the treatment of congenital ichthyosis and identified as TMB-001, formerly PAT-001, from Patagonia Pharmaceuticals LLC (“Patagonia”) (the “TMB-001 Acquisition”) pursuant to an asset acquisition agreement (the “Asset Acquisition Agreement”).
On July 20, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Asset Acquisition Agreement with Patagonia (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, we and Patagonia agreed to extend the time for Company’s payment of the first milestone payment, which became payable upon the commencement of patient enrollment in our Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial in the second quarter of 2022. Our first milestone payment is now payable in two tranches, with $2.25 million due by September 1, 2022 and $2.065 million due by September 1, 2023. Further, we granted Patagonia a security interest in TMB-001 and certain other assets.
Series A Preferred Stock Exchange
On July 27, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with TardiMed Sciences LLC (“TardiMed”), pursuant to which TardiMed agreed to exchange its 1,819 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) plus accrued dividends for a pre-funded warrant (the “TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase 9,054,132 shares of our common stock. The number of underlying warrant shares is based on the redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock which had been demanded by TardiMed, divided by the closing price of our common stock on the date the Letter Agreement was executed.
Twenty percent of the TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable upon issuance. Beginning on September 30, 2022, and then at the end of each subsequent calendar quarter upon written request of TardiMed, we will allow an additional 20% of the initial balance of the TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant to become exercisable, provided that only 20% of the initial balance of the TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable in any given quarter. The TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant’s exercise price is $0.0001, and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant will terminate when exercised in full.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, TardiMed released and discharged the Company and its affiliates from any and all claims, rights, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, damages

Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of our common stock.

National Securities Exchange Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “TMBR.” There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or common warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the pre-funded warrants or common warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants will be limited.

RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing any of the securities you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and any subsequent updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth in our SEC reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and in the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference.” Additional risks not presently known or that we presently consider to be immaterial could subsequently materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if this offering is successful, we will need additional funding to continue our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our preclinical studies and clinical trials, engage in one or more potential transactions, or cease our operations entirely.
We have incurred substantial operating losses since our inception. As reflected in our consolidated financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $32.0 million at March 31, 2022, a net loss of approximately $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and approximately $2.9 million of net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, expressing substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business due to insufficient capital for us to fund our operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s current existing cash and cash equivalents was approximately $8.3 million. We have never generated any product revenue, and we cannot estimate with precision the extent of our future losses. We do not currently have any products that are available for commercial sale and we may never generate product revenue or achieve profitability. Based on our evaluations and current plans, which are subject to change, we believe that the Company’s current existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, are sufficient only to satisfy our operating needs into the fourth quarter of 2022.
Even if this offering is successful, we will need to secure additional resources to support our continued operations, including resources needed to complete our preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, and to manufacture and market any product candidates in the event they are approved for commercial sale, plus resources for engaging in potential business development activities. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may seek to engage in one or more potential transactions, such as the sale of our company, a strategic partnership with one or more parties or the licensing, sale or divestiture of some of our assets or proprietary technologies, or we may be forced to cease our operation entirely. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such a transaction or transactions on a timely basis or on terms that are favorable to us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, or should we engage in one or more potential strategic transactions, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our preclinical studies and clinical trials or any future commercialization efforts. If we determine to change our business strategy or to seek to engage in a strategic transaction, our future business, prospects, financial position and operating results could be significantly different than those in historical periods or projected by our management. Because of the significant uncertainty regarding these events, we are not able to accurately predict the impact of any potential changes in our existing business strategy.
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds”. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our securities to decline and delay the development of our product candidates. Pending the application of these funds, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

You may experience dilution in the future.
To the extent shares are issued under outstanding options and warrants at exercise prices lower than the public offering price of our common stock in this offering, including the 9,054,132 shares underlying the TardiMed Pre-Funded Warrant after June 30, 2022 (1,809,820 shares of which were issued upon a partial exercise of such warrant on August 3, 2022), holders will incur dilution. In addition, since the Bridge Warrants provide that if we issue or sell or in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Warrants, are deemed to have issued or sold any shares of common stock for a price per share lower than the Bridge Warrants’ exercise price of $0.31 per share currently in effect, the exercise price of the Bridge Warrants will be reduced to $0.02 per share, which is the offering price per share in this offering less the Black Scholes value of the common warrant issued in this offering.
There is no public market for the common warrants or pre-funded warrants being offered by us in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the common warrants or the pre-funded warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the common warrants or pre-funded warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the common warrants and pre-funded warrants will be limited.
The common warrants and pre-funded warrants are speculative in nature.
The common warrants and pre-funded warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of share of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the common warrants may acquire the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.12 per share of common stock, and holders of the pre-funded warrants may acquire the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the common warrants and pre-funded warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants will equal or exceed their respective public offering prices. There can be no assurance that the market price of the shares of common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the common warrants or pre-funded warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of common warrants to exercise the common warrants or for holders of the pre-funded warrants to exercise the pre-funded warrants.
Holders of the warrants offered hereby will have no rights as common stockholders with respect to the shares our common stock underlying the warrants until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common stock, except as otherwise provided in the warrants.
Until holders of the common warrants and the pre-funded warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise thereof, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants, except to the extent that holders of such warrants will have certain rights to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our common stock as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of the common warrants and the pre-funded warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $6.9 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the pre-funded warrants and the common warrants issued in this offering. If the common warrants are exercised in full for cash, the estimated net proceeds will increase to $14.9 million.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which includes, without limitation, ongoing research and pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, the development of new biological and pharmaceutical technologies, investing in or acquiring companies that are synergistic with or complementary to our technologies, licensing activities related to our current and future product candidates (including a milestone payment of $2.25 million due to Patagonia Pharmaceuticals LLC as the result of the initiation of our Phase 3 pivotal trial for TMB-001, as agreed with the FDA and defined as the first patient enrolled in such trial for the product, which is due on September 1, 2022), the development of emerging technologies, investing in or acquiring companies that are developing emerging technologies, licensing activities, or the acquisition of other businesses and working capital. The amounts and timing of these expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the development of our current business initiatives. We have no specific acquisition contemplated at this time. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
We are authorized to issue 460,000,000 shares of all classes of capital stock, of which 450,000,000 shares is common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares are undesignated preferred stock, no par value. As of July 27, 2022, the Company had 63,791,336 outstanding shares of common stock and no outstanding shares of preferred stock outstanding.
The additional shares of our authorized stock available for issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity ownership of the holders of our Common Stock. The ability of our board of directors to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the board’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover situation but could also be used by the board to make a change-in-control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock. You should refer to our certificate of incorporation, as amended and bylaws, both of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous SEC filings, for additional information. The summary below is qualified by provisions of applicable law.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. We have not provided for cumulative voting for any matter in our certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock will be able to elect all of our directors. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. It is not anticipated that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, as to which 2,500 is designated as Series A preferred stock and the remainder of which are undesignated. As of July 27, 2022, no shares of our Series A preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion right, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, without further vote or action by the stockholders. Although we have no present plans to issue any other shares of preferred stock, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock, could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the common stock, and could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control of us or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The preferred stock may provide for an adjustment of the conversion price in the event of an issuance or deemed issuance at a price less than the applicable conversion price, subject to certain exceptions.
 
12
 
Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control. These provisions are as follows:
•
they provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors or an officer instructed by the directors to call a special meeting, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting;
​
•
they authorize our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats;
​
•
they can be amended or repealed by unanimous written consent of our board of directors;
​
•
they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect of limiting the
​
•
ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in our board of directors; and
​
•
they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our common stock.
​
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Subject to certain exceptions, the statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
•
prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
​
•
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
​
•
on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
​
Generally, for purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three (3) years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned fifteen percent (15%) or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.
Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
We have shares of common stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.
The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, the board of directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges
 
13
 
and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law and subject to any limitations set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or could discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, NA. The transfer agent address is 520 Pike Street, Suite 1305, WA 98101, (206) 674-3050.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
We are offering 46,583,333 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 66,666,667 shares of common stock. We are also offering pre-funded warrants to purchase 20,083,334 shares of common stock to those purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common stock following the consummation of this offering in lieu of the shares of common stocks that would result in such excess ownership. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock. No warrant for fractional shares of common stock will be issued, rather warrants will be issued only for whole shares of common stock. We are also registering the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and warrants offered hereby.
Common Stock
The material terms and provisions of our common stock are described under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” in this prospectus.
Warrants
The following is a summary of certain terms and provisions of the warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the warrants.
Duration and Exercise Price
Each warrant offered hereby will have an exercise price equal to $0.12. The warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The warrants will be issued separately from the common stock or pre-funded warrants, respectively, and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
Exercisability
The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder’s warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants.
Cashless Exercise
If, at the time a holder exercises its warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrant.
 
15
 
Fundamental Transactions
In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any merger or consolidation with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of a warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each share of our common stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of our common stock for which the warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the warrants for cash in the amount of the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in each warrant) of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants on the date of the consummation of such fundamental transaction, concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction.
However, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is not in our control, including a fundamental transaction not approved by our board of directors, the holders of the warrants will only be entitled to receive from us or our successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of our common stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of our common stock are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction.
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, a warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Trading Market
There is no established trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect an active trading market to develop. We do not intend to apply to list the warrants on any securities exchange or other trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be extremely limited.
Right as a Stockholder
Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of the holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, such holder of warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s warrants.
Waivers and Amendments
No term of the warrants may be amended or waived without the written consent of the majority of the holders of the warrants purchased in this offering.
Pre-funded Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the pre-funded warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the pre-funded warrant, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
 
16
 
prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of pre-funded warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.
Duration and Exercise Price
Each pre-funded warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share of common stock equal to $0.0001. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of common stock and the exercise price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the applicable trading market, we may at any time during the term of the pre-funded warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the holders, reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by our board of directors.
Exercisability
The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the holder’s pre-funded warrants up to 9.99% of the number of our shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Purchasers of pre-funded warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the pre-funded warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Cashless Exercise
In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the pre-funded warrants.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Rather, at the Company’s election, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number or the Company will pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, a pre-funded warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the pre-funded warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Trading Market
There is no trading market available for the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, and we do not expect a trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be extremely limited. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants are currently traded on the NYSE American.
Right as a Shareholder
Except as otherwise provided in the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of common stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants do not have the rights or privileges of
 
17
 
holders of our shares of common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their pre-funded warrants. The pre-funded warrants will provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares of common stock.
Fundamental Transaction
In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the pre-funded warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our shares of common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding securities, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of securities, the holders of the pre-funded warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the pre-funded warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction on a net exercise basis.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“H.C. Wainwright” or the “placement agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus on a reasonable best efforts basis. H.C. Wainwright is not purchasing or selling any securities, nor are they required to arrange for the purchase and sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, other than to use their “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of the securities by us. There is no minimum amount of proceeds that is a condition to closing of this offering. We have entered into a securities purchase agreement directly with certain institutional investors who purchased our securities in this offering. The remaining investors who did not enter into a securities purchase agreement are relying solely on this prospectus in connection with the purchase of our securities in this offering. H.C. Wainwright may engage one or more sub-placement agents or selected dealers to assist with the offering.
Fees and Expenses
The following table shows the per share and accompanying warrant, and per pre-funded and accompanying warrant, and total placement agent fees we will pay in connection with the sale of the securities in this offering.
​
Per share and common warrant placement agent cash fees
​ ​ ​ $ 0.0072 ​ ​
​
Per pre-funded warrant and common warrant placement agent cash fees
​ ​ ​ $ 0.0072 ​ ​
​
Total
​ ​ ​ $ 480,000 ​ ​
We have agreed to pay the placement agent a total cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We will also pay the placement agent a non-accountable expense allowance of $50,000 and will reimburse the placement agent’s legal fees and expenses in an amount up to $100,000 and $15,950 for the expenses of its clearing firm. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent fees and expenses, will be approximately $440,000. After deducting the placement agent fees and our estimated offering expenses, we expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $6.9 million.
Right of First Refusal
In addition, we have granted a right of first refusal to the placement agent pursuant to which it has the right to act as the exclusive manager, underwriter or agent, as applicable, if the Company or its subsidiaries raise capital through a public or private offering of equity or equity-linked securities at any time prior to the six month anniversary of the closing date of this offering.
Tail
If an offering is not consummated before the term of our engagement with the placement agent expires, we have also agreed to pay the placement agent a tail fee equal to the cash compensation in this offering, if any investor, who was brought over-the-wall or introduced to us by the placement agent during the term of its engagement, provides us with capital in any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction during the six month period following expiration or termination of our engagement of the placement agent.
Other Relationships
The placement agent acted as the placement agent in connection with our previous offering consummated in November 2021, for which it has received customary fees and expenses. The placement agent may, from time to time, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of its business and may continue to receive compensation from us for such services. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus, we have no present arrangements with the Placement Agent for any further services.

Determination of Offering Price
The combined public offering price per share and common warrant and the combined public offering price per pre-funded warrant and common warrant we are offering and the exercise prices and other terms of the warrants were negotiated between us and the investors, in consultation with the placement agent based on the trading of our common stock prior to this offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the public offering prices of the securities we are offering and the exercise prices and other terms of the warrants include the history and prospects of our company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.
Lock-up Agreements
We and each of our officers and directors have agreed with the placement agent to be subject to a lock-up period of ninety (90) days following the date of this prospectus. This means that, during the applicable lock-up period, we may not offer for sale, contract to sell, or sell any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock subject to certain customary exception such as issuing stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants under our existing plans. The placement agent may, in its sole discretion and without notice, waive the terms of any of these lock-up agreements. In addition, we have agreed to not issue any shares of common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock for a period of sixty (60) days following the closing date of this offering, subject to certain exceptions, and to not issue any securities that are subject to a price reset based on trading prices of our common stock or upon a specified or contingent event in the future, or enter into an agreement to issue securities at a future determined price, until May 18, 2023.

The placement agent will be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
