Shares
of Common Stock
Common Warrants to Purchase up to 20,000,000 Shares of
Common Stock
We
are offering up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, and common warrants to purchase up to
20,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Common Warrants”)
pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. The public offering price for each share of common
stock and accompanying Common Warrant to purchase one share of
common stock is $0.50. The Common Warrants have an exercise price
of $0.55 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire
five years from the date of issuance. We are also offering the
shares of our common stock that are issuable from time to time upon
exercise of the Common Warrants.
There is no established public trading market for the Common
Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we
do not intend to list the Common Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital
Market (“Nasdaq”), any other national securities exchange or any
other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active
trading market, the liquidity of the Common Warrants will be
limited.
Our
common stock is traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “ENVB.” On
February 10, 2022, the closing sale price of our common stock on
Nasdaq was $0.6604 per share.
The
offering is being underwritten on a firm commitment
basis.
This
investment involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk
Factors” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement and any
similar section contained in the accompanying prospectus and in the
documents that are incorporated by reference herein and
therein.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these
securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation
to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including
the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein,
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act. Any statements about our
expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future
events or performance are not historical facts and may be
forward-looking. These statements are often, but are not always,
made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,”
“assumes,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“forecasts,” “guides,” “intends,” “is confident that,” “may,”
“plans,” “seeks,” “projects,” “targets,” and “would” and similar
expressions, or the negative of these terms, or similar
expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates,
assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking
statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
factors discussed throughout this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, and in particular those factors referenced
in the sections entitled “Risk Factors.”
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain
forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s
belief and assumptions and on information currently available to
our management. These statements relate to future events or our
future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to
differ materially from those described in forward-looking
statements, including, among other things:
|
● |
our
dependence on the success of our prospective product candidates,
which are in early stages of development and may not reach a
particular stage in development, receive regulatory approval or be
successfully commercialized; |
|
● |
potential
difficulties that may delay, suspend, or scale back our efforts to
advance additional early research programs through preclinical
development and IND application filings and into clinical
development; |
|
● |
the
risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from our
combination with MagicMed Industries Inc. and the successful use of
the rights and technologies acquired in the combination may not be
fully realized or may take longer to realize than
expected; |
|
● |
the
impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business,
including our current plans for product development, as well as any
currently ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials and any
future studies or other development or commercialization
activities; |
|
● |
the
limited study on the effects of medical cannabinoids and
psychedelics, and the chance that future clinical research studies
may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our
understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability,
safety, efficacy, dosing, and social acceptance of cannabinoids or
psychedelics; |
|
● |
the
expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain nature of clinical trials,
which are susceptible to change, delays, termination, and differing
interpretations; |
|
● |
the
ability to establish that potential products are efficacious or
safe in preclinical or clinical trials; |
|
● |
the
fact that our current and future preclinical and clinical studies
may be conducted outside the United States, and the United States
Food and Drug Administration may not accept data from such studies
to support any new drug applications we may submit after completing
the applicable developmental and regulatory
prerequisites; |
|
● |
the
ability to establish or maintain collaborations on the development
of therapeutic candidates; |
|
● |
the
ability to obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals
to market potential products; |
|
● |
our
ability to manufacture product candidates on a commercial scale or
in collaborations with third parties; |
|
● |
our
significant and increasing liquidity needs and potential
requirements for additional funding; |
|
● |
our
ability to obtain future funding for developmental products and
working capital and to obtain such funding on commercially
reasonable terms; |
|
● |
the
intense competition we face, often from companies with greater
resources and experience than us; |
|
● |
our
ability to retain key executives and scientists; |
|
● |
the
ability to secure and enforce legal rights related to our products,
including intellectual property rights and patent
protection; |
|
● |
political,
economic, and military instability in Israel which may impede our
development programs; |
|
● |
our
expected use of proceeds from this offering; and |
|
● |
other
factors discussed in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
herein and therein, including those set forth under “Risk Factors”
in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on
June 22, 2021, as amended (the “Form S-4”). |
We
have included important factors in the cautionary statements
included in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein and
therein, including from the Form S-4, particularly in the “Risk
Factors” sections of these documents, that we believe could cause
actual results or events to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking
statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments
we may make. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future
performance.
You
should read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference
herein and therein completely and with the understanding that our
actual future results may be materially different from what we
expect. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents we
incorporate by reference herein and therein represent our views as
of the date of this prospectus supplement. We anticipate that
subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change.
However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, we have no current
intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable
law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking
statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to
the date of this prospectus supplement.
Prospectus Supplement
Summary
The
following summary of our business highlights some of the
information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference
into, this prospectus supplement. Because this is only a summary,
however, it does not contain all of the information that may be
important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents
incorporated by reference, which are described under “Incorporation
by Reference” in this prospectus supplement. You should also
carefully consider the matters discussed in the section of this
prospectus supplement titled “Risk Factors” and under similar
sections of the accompanying prospectus and other periodic reports
incorporated herein and therein by reference.
In
this prospectus supplement, unless the context otherwise requires,
references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” and “Enveric” refer
to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We were
previously known as AMERI Holdings, Inc. (“Ameri”). Following the
completion of our offer to purchase all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Jay Pharma, Inc. on December 30, 2020, we
changed the name of our company from AMERI Holdings, Inc. to
Enveric Biosciences, Inc.
Company
Overview
We
are an early-development-stage biosciences company developing
next-generation mental health and oncology treatments and clinical
discovery platform, leveraging psychedelic-derived molecules for
the mind and synthetic cannabinoids for the body. We seek to
improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, initially by
developing palliative and supportive care products for people
suffering from certain side effects of cancer and cancer treatment
such as anxiety, depression, pain and skin damage from radiation
treatment. We currently intend to offer such palliative and
supportive care products in the United States, following approval
through established regulatory pathways.
Psychedelics
Following
our amalgamation with MagicMed Industries Inc. completed in
September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), we have continued to pursue
development of the Psybrary™ that we believe will help us develop
the right drug candidates needed to address mental health
challenges, including cancer-related distress. We synthesize newer
versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin,
N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture
of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the creation of a
proprietary library, the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent
families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of
synthesized molecules. Within the Psybrary™ we have three different
types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics), Generation
2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities). The
company is working to add novel molecules on a regular basis
through our work at Enveric Labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where
we have a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic
biology and chemistry. To date we have created over 500 molecules
that are housed in the Psybrary.
We
screen a molecule in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary
artificial intelligence (AI) tool. Leveraging AI systems is
expected to reduce the time and cost of commercial development. We
believe it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal
binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities and
pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates,
tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that we
believe are patentable can then be further screened to see how
changes to its makeup alter its effects and whether the new
molecule might be used to synthesize additional new molecules. New
compounds of sufficient purity may undergo pharmacological
screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines),
preclinical (animal) and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations.
We intend to utilize our Psybrary™ and the AI tool categorize and
characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more
psychedelics from discovery to the clinical phase.
Cannabinoids
We
are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid
combination therapies for the side effects of cancer treatments,
such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
We
intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians, researchers,
academic and industry partners so as to develop both external
proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product
candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for
cancer patients. We intend to evaluate options to out-license our
proprietary technology as it moves along the regulatory pathway and
evaluates the building of a small, targeted selling organization
and will potentially utilize a hybrid approach based on the product
indication and the market opportunity.
In
developing our product candidates, we intend to focus on
cannabinoids derived from non-hemp botanical sources, and synthetic
materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in order to
comply with U.S. federal regulations. Of the potential cannabinoids
to be used in therapeutic formulations, THC, which is responsible
for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can result in
undesirable mood effects. Selected cannabidiol (CBD) and
cannabigerol (CBG) candidates, on the other hand, have amounts of
THC well below .1% and are not psychotropic and therefore more
attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice.
Drugs with less than .1% THC have a history, when approved as drugs
by FDA, of being able to be rescheduled by DEA from Schedule I to
Schedule V, as in the case of Epidiolex and Marinol. In the future,
we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants,
which may contain higher amounts of THC; however, we only intend to
do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal. However, synthetic THC
is a Schedule I controlled substance; so, the use of any APIs
containing synthetic THC (or naturally derived THC in
concentrations greater than 0.3%) may increase regulatory scrutiny
and require additional expenses and authorizations. All current and
future product candidates that we are developing or may develop
will be tested for safety and efficacy under an investigational new
drug (“IND”) and subject to the Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) pre-market approval process for new drugs.
While
we continue to pursue the development of our cannabinoid-based
product candidates, our principal focus is on the development of
psychedelic-based treatments.

Stockholder
Demand Letters
On
July 14, 2021, the Company received a stockholder demand letter
from the law firm of Rigrodsky Law P.A., on behalf of Matthew
Whitfield, a purported stockholder of the Company, alleging that
the registration statement (the “Amalgamation Registration
Statement”) filed by the Company with the SEC on June 21, 2021
omitted material information with respect to the Amalgamation and
requesting that the Company and the Company board of directors
provide certain corrective disclosures in an amendment or
supplement to the Amalgamation Registration Statement. The Company
does not believe the request had merit, but made certain changes to
the Amalgamation Registration Statement, which it believes sufficed
to answer the purported stockholder’s demands. The purported
stockholder thereafter agreed that the changes mooted his potential
claims, and the Amalgamation successfully closed. The Company
agreed to pay $30,000 to the purported stockholder’s counsel in
connection with the changes to the Amalgamation Registration
Statement. This amount was paid in November 2021.
On
July 22, 2021, the Company received a DGCL Section 220 books and
records demand letter from the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti,
on behalf of Scott Waller, a purported stockholder of the Company,
seeking access to certain books and records of the Company in
connection with the process underlying the Amalgamation (as defined
herein) and the Company’s engagement of its financial advisors. The
Company does not believe the request had merit, but made certain
changes to the Amalgamation Registration Statement, which it
believes sufficed to answer the purported stockholder’s demands.
The purported stockholder thereafter agreed that the changes mooted
his potential claims, and the Amalgamation successfully closed. The
Company agreed to pay $60,000 to the purported stockholder’s
counsel in connection with the changes to the Amalgamation
Registration Statement. This amount was paid in October
2021.
On
September 2, 2021, Vince Mojta (“Plaintiff”), through his attorney,
filed a complaint (Mojta v. Enveric Biosciences, Inc., et al., Case
No. 1:21-cv-07385 (S.D.N.Y.)) in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York, against the Company and the
members of its board of directors (the “Directors”). The complaint
alleged, among other things, that the Amalgamation Registration
Statement omitted material information with respect to the
Amalgamation. The complaint sought to enjoin the Company from
taking any steps to consummate the Amalgamation unless and until
certain information was disclosed to the Company’s shareholders
before a vote on the Amalgamation and a judgment for damages. The
Company believed that the suit was without merit. Plaintiff never
served the Company or the Directors with the suit, and the
Amalgamation successfully closed. Plaintiff then voluntarily
dismissed the suit on October 25, 2021.
Company Information
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a
shell company immediately prior to the completion of a “reverse
merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, whereby Ameri100 Acquisition,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly created, wholly owned
subsidiary, was merged with and into Ameri and Partners Inc.
(“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “2015 Merger”).
In connection with the 2015 Merger, we changed our name to AMERI
Holdings, Inc.
The Ameri business ceased to be part of the Company on December 30,
2020, pursuant to a spin-off transaction. On December 30, 2020, we
completed a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding common
shares of Jay Pharma Inc., a Canada corporation, for shares of
Company common stock or certain preferred stock, and changed our
name to “Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” Our principal corporate office
is located at Enveric Biosciences, Inc., 4851 Tamiami Trail N,
Suite 200, Naples,
Florida 34103, telephone
(239) 302-1707. Our internet address is https://www.enveric.com/,

Risk Factors
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
the other information contained in this prospectus supplement to
the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by
reference, you should carefully consider the risks discussed below
and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as well as any
amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in subsequent
filings with the SEC, including the Form S-4 and our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2021, June
30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, before making a decision about
investing in our securities. The risks and uncertainties discussed
below and in the documents incorporated by reference are not the
only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may
also harm our business. If any of these risks occur, our business,
financial condition and operating results could be harmed, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose
part or all of your investment.
Risks
Related to Regulatory Matters
Our current and prospective product candidates, and the development
thereof, are or will be subject to the various federal and state
laws and regulations relating to the safety and efficacy of health
products, such as drugs and medical devices.
We
are in the process of developing investigational new drugs for
which we intend to pursue FDA approval via the New Drug Application
(“NDA”) process. In these product candidates, cannabinoid(s) and
synthetic molecules based on psychedelics, such as psilocybin,
N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, will be the
active pharmaceutical ingredients.
In
connection with our development and future commercialization (if
applicable) of our prospective products, we, and each contemplated
product candidate, are subject to the Federal Food Drug and
Cosmetic Act (FDCA). The FDCA is intended to assure the consumer,
in part, that drugs and devices are safe and effective for their
intended uses and that all labeling and packaging is truthful,
informative, and not deceptive. The FDCA and the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) regulations define the term “drug,” in part,
by reference to its intended use, as “articles intended for use in
the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of
disease” and “articles (other than food) intended to affect the
structure or any function of the body of man or other animals.” The
definition also includes components of drugs, such as active
pharmaceutical ingredients. To be lawfully marketed in the United
States, drugs must generally either receive premarket approval by
FDA through the NDA process or conform to a “monograph” for a
particular drug category, as established by FDA’s Over-the-Counter
(OTC) Drug Review. If the FDA does not award premarket approval for
our product candidates through the NDA process, this will have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Additionally,
the nature of the active ingredients we intend to utilize in our
product candidates subjects us and our development and future
commercialization (as applicable) activities to additional
regulatory scrutiny and oversight. (For more information about the
regulatory landscape governing our cannabinoid-containing product
candidates, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K.) In connection with our development and
future commercialization (if applicable) of psychedelic-based
product candidates, we and each contemplated product candidate will
be subject to the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and the
Controlled Substances Import and Export Act in the United States
and analogous state and foreign laws. Additionally, with regard to
our cannabinoid pipeline, one or more product candidates will be
developed using synthetic cannabidiol (CBD), which may subject such
product candidates to increased regulatory scrutiny or uncertainty.
While we currently believe that our candidates containing (or that
will be developed using) synthetic CBD are not subject to the CSA
because they are THC-free, this is an evolving regulatory area that
is subject to uncertainty. The DEA may change its position or
disagree with ours and classify any synthetic-CBD product
candidates that we may develop as Schedule I controlled substances,
in which case, additional regulatory authorizations may be needed
(such as, for example, DEA registrations for facilities testing or
otherwise handling Schedule I controlled substances), and there may
be increased expenses and/or challenges in connection
therewith.
There
is no guarantee that any of our investigational drugs will ever be
approved as medicines in any jurisdiction in which the Company
operates, as there are currently very few FDA-approved drugs
containing the psychedelic ingredients we intend to utilize as
active ingredients and only one FDA-approved drug containing CBD as
the active ingredient (and three containing synthetic
cannabinoids). And, the laws and regulations generally applicable
to the industry in which the Company is involved are subject to
constant evolution and may change in ways currently unforeseen. Any
amendment to or replacement of existing laws or regulations,
including the re-classification of the substances the Company is
developing or with which it is working, which are matters beyond
the Company’s control, may cause the Company’s business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects to be adversely
affected or may cause the Company to incur significant costs in
complying with such changes or it may be unable to comply
therewith. A violation of any applicable laws and regulations of
the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could result in
significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions
or settlements arising from civil proceedings initiated by either
government entities in the jurisdictions in which the Company
operates, or private citizens or criminal charges.
Clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and
susceptible to change, delay or termination. The results of
clinical trials are open to differing
interpretations.
We
currently have four product candidates that are in preclinical
development for indications such as Radiation Dermatitis and other
side-effects of cancer, including cancer-related distress. We
intend to develop additional drug candidates targeting other
indications, including, for example, pain and post-traumatic-stress
disorder (PTSD). After completing the requisite preclinical
testing, submissions to FDA (namely investigational new drug
(“IND”) applications), internal review board (“IRB”) review, and
any other applicable obligations that must be completed before
clinical testing may begin in the United States, we must conduct
extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of
our product candidates. Clinical testing is expensive, time
consuming, and uncertain as to outcome. We cannot guarantee that
any clinical trials will be conducted as planned or completed on
schedule, or at all. Failures in connection with one or more
clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing.
The
FDA and other applicable regulatory agencies may analyze or
interpret the results of clinical trials differently than us. Even
if the results of our clinical trials are favorable, the clinical
trials for a number of our product candidates are expected to
continue for several years and may take significantly longer to
complete. Events that may prevent successful or timely completion
of clinical development include (without limitation):
|
● |
delays
in reaching a consensus with regulatory authorities on trial
design; |
|
● |
delays
in reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract
research organization (“CRO”) and clinical trial sites; |
|
● |
delays
in sourcing materials and research animals for preclinical testing
and correlated testing windows at the appropriate CRO
facilities; |
|
● |
delays
in opening clinical trial sites or obtaining required IRB or
independent ethics committee approval at each clinical trial
site; |
|
● |
actual
or perceived lack of effectiveness of any product candidate during
clinical trials; |
|
● |
discovery
of serious or unexpected toxicities or side effects experienced by
trial participants or other safety issues, such as drug
interactions, including those which cause confounding changes to
the levels of other concomitant medications; |
|
● |
slower
than expected rates of subject recruitment and enrollment rates in
clinical trials; |
|
● |
difficulty
in retaining subjects for the entire duration of applicable
clinical studies (as study subjects may withdraw at any time due to
adverse side effects from the therapy, insufficient efficacy,
fatigue with the clinical trial process or for any other
reason; |
|
● |
delays
or inability in manufacturing or obtaining sufficient quantities of
materials for use in clinical trials due to regulatory and
manufacturing constraints; |
|
● |
inadequacy
of or changes in our manufacturing process or product candidate
formulation; |
|
● |
delays
in obtaining regulatory authorizations, such as INDs and any others
that must be obtained, maintained, and/or satisfied to commence a
clinical trial, including “clinical holds” or delays requiring
suspension or termination of a trial by a regulatory agency, such
as the FDA, before or after a trial is commenced; |
|
● |
changes
in applicable regulatory policies and regulation, including changes
to requirements imposed on the extent, nature or timing of
studies; |
|
● |
delays
or failure in reaching agreement on acceptable terms in clinical
trial contracts or protocols with prospective clinical trial
sites; |
|
● |
uncertainty
regarding proper dosing; |
|
● |
delay
or failure to supply product for use in clinical trials which
conforms to regulatory specification; |
|
● |
unfavorable
results from ongoing preclinical studies and clinical
trials; |
|
● |
failure
of our CROs, or other third-party contractors to comply with all
contractual requirements or to perform their services in a timely
or acceptable manner; |
|
● |
failure
by us, our employees, our CROs or their employees to comply with
all applicable FDA or other regulatory requirements relating to the
conduct of clinical trials; |
|
● |
scheduling
conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical
institutions; |
|
● |
failure
to design appropriate clinical trial protocols; |
|
● |
regulatory
concerns with cannabinoid products or psychedelics, generally, and
the potential for abuse; |
|
● |
insufficient
data to support regulatory approval; |
|
● |
inability
or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical
protocols; |
|
● |
difficulty
in maintaining contact with patients during or after treatment,
which may result in incomplete data; |
|
● |
any
clinical holds placed on company by regulatory agencies during
review process; |
|
● |
delay
or failure to supply psychedelic product for use in clinical trials
due to cross-border or inter-continental shipment or customs
handling and processing of controlled substances; or |
|
● |
difficulty finding clinical trials sites whose investigators
possess the requisite credentials to oversee clinical trials
involving a Schedule I substance. |
Any
of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The psychedelic-derived therapeutic candidates we are developing or
may develop in the future are subject to controlled substance laws
and regulations in the United States and other countries where the
product will be marketed, and failure to comply with these laws and
regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and
regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business
operations and our financial condition.
In
the United States, psychedelics, such as psilocybin (and its active
metabolite, psilocin), DMT, mescaline and MDMA, are classified by
the Drug Enforcement Agency (the “DEA”) as a Schedule I substances
under the CSA. The DEA regulates chemical compounds as Schedule I,
II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by-definition
have a high potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medical
use” in the United States, lack accepted safety for use under
medical supervision, and may not be prescribed marketed or sold in
the United States. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the
United States may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with
Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential
for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest
relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II
substances are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA,
including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security
requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing
of Schedule II substances is further restricted. For example, they
may not be refilled without a new prescription and may have a black
box warning. Further, most, if not all, state laws in the United
States classify the psychedelic active ingredients we intend to
utilize as Schedule I controlled substances. For any product
containing active ingredients that are Schedule I controlled
substances to be available for commercial marketing in the United
States, the product must be scheduled by the DEA to Schedule II,
III, IV or V, which requires scheduling-related legislative or
administrative action, which can further delay the path to market.
There can be no assurance that the DEA will make a favorable
scheduling decision. Even assuming categorization as a Schedule II
or lower controlled substance (i.e., Schedule III, IV or V), at the
federal level, such substances would also require scheduling
determinations under state laws and regulations.
FDA
approval is also a prerequisite to commercialization, and the
controlled-substance status of our psychedelic APIs may negatively
impact the FDA’s decision regarding whether to approve the
applicable product candidates.
During
the pre-market review process, the FDA may determine that
additional data is needed for one or more of our psychedelic
candidates, either from non-clinical or clinical studies, including
with respect to whether, or to what extent, the substance has abuse
potential. This may introduce a delay into the approval and any
potential rescheduling process.
In
addition, therapeutic candidates containing controlled substances
are subject to DEA regulations relating to manufacturing, storage,
distribution and physician prescription procedures,
including:
|
● |
DEA
registration and inspection of facilities. Facilities conducting
research, manufacturing, distributing, importing or exporting, or
dispensing controlled substances must be registered (licensed) to
perform these activities and have the security, control,
recordkeeping, reporting and inventory mechanisms required by the
DEA to prevent drug loss and diversion. All these facilities must
renew their registrations annually, except dispensing facilities,
which must renew every three years. The DEA conducts periodic
inspections of certain registered establishments that handle
controlled substances. Obtaining and maintaining the necessary
registrations may result in delay of the importation, manufacturing
or distribution of product candidates. Furthermore, failure to
maintain compliance with the CSA, particularly non-compliance
resulting in loss or diversion, can result in regulatory action
that could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. The DEA may seek
civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or
initiate proceedings to restrict, suspend or revoke those
registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to
criminal proceedings. |
|
● |
State
controlled-substances laws. Individual U.S. states have also
established controlled substance laws and regulations. Though
state-controlled substances laws often mirror federal law, because
the states are separate jurisdictions, they may separately schedule
product candidates. While some states automatically schedule a drug
based on federal action, other states schedule drugs through rule
making or a legislative action. State scheduling may delay
commercial sale of any product for which we obtain federal
regulatory approval and adverse scheduling could have a material
adverse effect on the commercial attractiveness of such product. We
or any partners must also obtain separate state registrations,
permits or licenses in order to be able to obtain, handle, and
distribute controlled substances for clinical trials or commercial
sale, and failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements could
lead to enforcement and sanctions by the states in addition to
those from the DEA or otherwise arising under federal
law. |
|
● |
Clinical
trials. Because some of our current and future product candidates
contain Schedule I controlled substances, to conduct clinical
trials in the United States prior to approval, each of our research
sites must submit a research protocol to the DEA and obtain and
maintain a DEA researcher registration that will allow those sites
to handle and dispense such product candidates and to obtain the
product from our importer. If the DEA delays or denies the grant of
a researcher registration to one or more research sites, the
clinical trial could be significantly delayed, and we could lose
clinical trial sites. |
|
● |
Importation.
If any of our product candidates is approved and classified as a
Schedule II, III or IV substance, an importer can only import it
for commercial purposes if it obtains an importer registration and
files an application for an import permit for each import. The DEA
provides annual assessments/estimates to the International
Narcotics Control Board, which guides the DEA in the amounts of
controlled substances that the DEA authorizes to be imported. The
failure to identify an importer or obtain the necessary import
authority, including specific quantities, could affect the
availability of our product candidates and have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition. In addition, an application for a Schedule II importer
registration must be published in the Federal Register, and there
is a waiting period for third-party comments to be submitted. It is
always possible that adverse comments may delay the grant of an
importer registration. |
|
● |
Manufacture.
If, because of a Schedule II classification or voluntarily, we were
to conduct manufacturing or repackaging/relabeling in the United
States, our contract manufacturers would be subject to the DEA’s
annual manufacturing and procurement quota
requirements. |
|
● |
Distribution.
If any of our product candidates is approved for marketing and
scheduled under Schedule II, III or IV, we would also need to
identify wholesale distributors with the appropriate DEA
registrations and authority to possess and distribute or dispense
such products. |
The psychedelics industry and market are relatively new, and the
industry may not succeed in the long term.
We
operate our business in a relatively new industry and market. The
use of psychedelics for medicinal purposes has shown promise in
various studies and we believe that both regulators and the public
have an increasing awareness and acceptance of this promising
field. Nevertheless, psychedelics remain a controlled substance in
the United States, Canada, and most other jurisdictions and their
use for research and therapeutic purposes remains highly regulated
and narrow in scope. There is no assurance that the industry and
market will continue to grow as currently estimated or anticipated
or function and evolve in the manner consistent with management’s
expectations and assumptions. Any event or circumstance that
adversely affects the psychedelic manufacturing and medicines
industry and market could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. We have
committed and expect to continue committing significant resources
and capital to the development of psychedelic products for
therapeutic uses. As a category of products, medical-grade
psychedelics raw materials and psychedelic-derived APIs, and
research into such substances, represent relatively untested
offerings in the marketplace, and we cannot provide assurance that
psychedelics as a category, or that our prospective products, in
particular, will achieve market acceptance. Moreover, as a
relatively new industry, there are not many established players in
the psychedelic-based medicines industry whose business model we
can emulate. Similarly, there is little information about
comparable companies available for potential investors to review in
making a decision about whether to invest in our common
shares.
The psychedelic APIs we intend to utilize are listed as Schedule I
controlled substances under the CSA in the United States and under
similar controlled-substance legislation in other countries, and
any significant violations of these laws and regulations, or
changes in the laws and regulations, may result in interruptions to
our development activity or business continuity.
The
psychedelic APIs we intend to utilize are categorized as Schedule I
controlled substances under the CSA and are similarly categorized
by most states and foreign governments. Even assuming any future
therapeutic candidates containing such APIs are approved and
scheduled by regulatory authorities to allow their commercial
marketing, the ingredients in such therapeutic candidates will
likely continue to be listed under Schedule I, or the state or
foreign equivalent and, thus, illegal without the requisite
regulatory authorizations (e.g., to allow for the use of such
substances in clinical trials under an IND and in compliance with
all applicable FDA, DEA, and other regulatory requirements).
Violations of any federal, state or foreign laws and regulations
could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative
sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil
proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private
citizens, or criminal charges and penalties, including, but not
limited to, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business
activities, divestiture or prison time. This could have a material
adverse effect on us, including on our reputation and ability to
conduct business, our financial position, operating results,
profitability or liquidity, the potential listing of our shares or
the market price of our shares. In addition, it is difficult for us
to estimate the time or resources that would be needed for the
investigation or defense of any such matters or our final
resolution because, in part, the time and resources that may be
needed are dependent on the nature and extent of any information
requested by the applicable authorities involved, and such time or
resources could be substantial. It is also illegal to aid or abet
such activities or to conspire or attempt to engage in such
activities. An investor’s contribution to and involvement in such
activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution,
including, but not limited to, forfeiture of his, her or its entire
investment, fines and/or imprisonment.
Various
federal, state, provincial and local laws govern our business in
any jurisdictions in which we may operate, and to which we may
export our products, including laws relating to health and safety,
the conduct of our operations, and the production, storage, sale
and distribution of our products. Complying with these laws
requires that we comply concurrently with complex federal, state,
provincial and/or local laws. These laws change frequently and may
be difficult to interpret and apply. To ensure our compliance with
these laws, we will need to invest significant financial and
managerial resources. It is impossible for us to predict the cost
of such laws or the effect they may have on our future operations.
A failure to comply with these laws could negatively affect our
business and harm our reputation. Changes to these laws could
negatively affect our competitive position and the markets in which
we operate, and there is no assurance that various levels of
government in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not pass
legislation or regulation that adversely impacts our
business.
In
addition, even if we or third parties were to conduct activities in
compliance with U.S. state or local laws or the laws of other
countries and regions in which we conduct activities, potential
enforcement proceedings could involve significant restrictions
being imposed upon us or third parties, while diverting the
attention of key executives. Such proceedings could have a material
adverse effect on our business, revenue, operating results and
financial condition as well as on our reputation and prospects,
even if such proceedings conclude successfully in our favor. In the
extreme case, such proceedings could ultimately involve the
criminal prosecution of our key executives, the seizure of
corporate assets, and consequently, our inability to continue
business operations. Strict compliance with state and local laws
with respect to psilocybin and psilocin does not absolve us of
potential liability under U.S. federal law or EU law, nor provide a
defense to any proceeding which may be brought against us. Any such
proceedings brought against us may adversely affect our operations
and financial performance.
Our psychedelic product candidates may generate public controversy.
Adverse publicity or public perception regarding the psychedelic
APIs we intend to utilize may negatively influence our success and
that of our prospective investigational
therapies.
Our
ability to establish and grow our business is substantially
dependent on the success of the emerging market for
psychedelics-based medicines, which will depend upon, among other
matters, pronounced and rapidly changing public preferences,
factors which are difficult to predict and over which we have
little, if any, control. We and our clients will be highly
dependent upon consumer perception of psychedelic-based therapies
and other products.
Therapies
containing controlled substances may generate public controversy.
Political and social pressures and adverse publicity could lead to
delays in approval of, and increased expenses for any future
therapeutic candidates we may develop. Opponents of these therapies
may seek restrictions on marketing and withdrawal of any regulatory
approvals. In addition, these opponents may seek to generate
negative publicity in an effort to persuade the medical community
to reject these therapies. For example, we may face
media-communicated criticism directed at our clinical development
program. Adverse publicity from psilocybin misuse may adversely
affect the commercial success or market penetration achievable by
our product candidates. Anti-psychedelic protests have historically
occurred and may occur in the future and generate media coverage.
Political pressures and adverse publicity could lead to delays in,
and increased expenses for, and limit or restrict the introduction
and marketing of any future therapeutic candidates.
Risks
Related to This Offering
Because we will have broad discretion and flexibility in how the
net proceeds from this offering are used, we may use the net
proceeds in ways in which you disagree.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working
capital purposes and to fund other general corporate purposes. See
“Use of Proceeds” on page S-18. We have not allocated specific
amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the
foregoing purposes. Accordingly, our management will have
significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds
of this offering. 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. It
is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that
does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of
our management to use such funds effectively could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating
results and cash flow.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity
offerings and other issuances of our securities. In addition, this
offering and future equity offerings and other issuances of our
common stock or other securities may adversely affect the price of
our common stock.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer
additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for our common stock prices that may not be
the same as the price per share in this offering. We may not be
able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a
price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per
share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing
shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior
to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell
additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into
shares of common stock in future transactions may be higher or
lower than the price per share in this offering. You will incur
dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants
or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of
common stock under our stock incentive programs. When the Long-Term
Incentive Plan is amended to increase the number of shares
authorized for issuance of awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan upon approval by our stockholder, 3,084,278 shares of common
stock will become issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units.
In addition, the sale of shares of common stock in this offering
and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of common
stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may
occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We
cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those
shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale
will have on the market price of our common stock.
We
expect to require additional capital in the future in order to
develop our product candidates, which are in early stages of
development. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it
may be difficult to effectively realize our long-term strategic
goals and objectives.
Our
current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund the
development of our product candidates through all of the required
clinical trials to receive regulatory approval and
commercialization. If we cannot secure this additional funding when
such funds are required, we may fail to develop our product
candidates or be forced to forego certain strategic
opportunities.
Any
additional capital raised through the sale of equity or
equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership
percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value
of our equity securities.
The
terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions
may be more favorable to new investors, and may include
preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or
other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive
effect on the holders of any of our securities then
outstanding.
In
addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital
financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees,
accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and
distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to
recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities
we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may
adversely impact our financial condition.
The trading price of our common stock could be highly
volatile, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers
of our common stock in this offering. Securities class action or
other litigation involving our company or members of our management
team could also substantially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our stock price is volatile. The stock market in general and the
market for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in particular
have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated
to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result
of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your common stock
at or above the public offering price and you may lose some or all
of your investment. The market price for our common stock may be
influenced by many factors, including:
|
● |
volatility
resulting from the economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19
pandemic; |
|
● |
the
success of existing or new competitive products or
technologies; |
|
● |
regulatory
actions with respect to our products or our competitors’ products
and product candidates; |

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been
brought against a company following a decline in the market price
of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, which have experienced
significant stock price volatility in recent years
The sale of our common stock in this offering, including any
shares issuable upon exercise of any Common Warrants, and any
future sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales
could occur, may depress our stock price and our ability to raise
funds in new stock offerings.
We may from time to time issue additional shares of common stock at
a discount from the current trading price of our common stock. As a
result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon
the purchase of any shares of our common stock sold at such
discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may
enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future,
including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or
common stock. Sales of shares of our common stock in this offering,
including any shares issuable upon exercise of any Common Warrants
issued in this offering and in the public market following this
offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, may lower
the market price of our common stock and may make it more difficult
for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in
the future at a time and price that our management deems
acceptable, or at all.
There is no public market for the Common Warrants being
offered in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the Common
Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a
market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list
the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally
recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active
market, the liquidity of the Common Warrants will be limited.
The Common Warrants being offered may not have
value.
The Common Warrants being offered by us in this offering have an
exercise price of $0.55 per share, subject to certain adjustments,
and expire five years from the date of issuance, upon which date
such Common Warrants will be automatically exercised on a cashless
basis. In the event that the applicable volume weighted average
price of our common stock does not exceed the exercise price of the
Common Warrants during the period when they are exercisable, the
Common Warrants may not have any value.
Holders of Common Warrants purchased in this offering will
have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise
their Common Warrants and acquire our common stock.
Until holders of Common Warrants acquire shares of our common stock
upon exercise of such warrants, holders of Common Warrants will
have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock
underlying such Common Warrants. Upon exercise of the Common
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 sale of our common stock
and Common Warrants offered under this prospectus supplement, after
deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be
approximately $9.2 million (or approximately $10.6 million if the
underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares
and/or Common Warrants in full), excluding the proceeds we may
receive from the exercise of the Common Warrants.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for working
capital purposes and to fund other general corporate purposes.
The expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents
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 will depend on numerous factors, including the factors
described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the
documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount
of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or
advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will
have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds.
Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net
proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term,
interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments,
certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the
U.S. government.
The amounts and timing of our use of proceeds will vary depending
on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated or
used by our operations. As a result, we will retain broad
discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this
offering.
Dividend
Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital
stock. Our board of directors currently intends to retain any
future earnings to support its operations and to finance the growth
and development of our business and does not intend to declare or
pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the
discretion of our board of directors. Investors should not purchase
our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash
dividends.
Description of Securities We Are
Offering
We are offering 20,000,000 shares of our common stock and
Common Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of our common
stock. We are also registering the offering and resale of the
shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of
the Common Warrants offered hereby.
Authorized Capital Stock
We have authorized 120,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which
100,000,000 are shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share
and 20,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per
share. On February 8, 2022, there were 32,578,475 shares of common
stock and zero shares of preferred stock issued and

Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders.
Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights.
Further, holders of common stock have no preemptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up, holders of common stock are entitled to share in all
assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the
liquidation preferences of any of the outstanding shares of
preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to
any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of common stock
are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from
time to time by the board of directors out of our assets which are
legally available. Such dividends, if any, are payable in cash, in
property or in shares of capital stock.
The holders of one-third of the shares of the capital stock,
represented at the special meeting or by proxy, are necessary to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting.
If a quorum is present, an action by stockholders entitled to vote
on a matter is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the
action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the
action, with the exception of the election of directors, which
requires a plurality of the votes cast.
Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ENVB.” The
current transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is
Equiniti Trust Company. Effective February 14, 2022, the transfer
agent and registrar for our common stock will be American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.
See “Description of Capital Stock” in our prospectus for more
information regarding our shares of common stock.
Common Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Common
Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the
Common Warrant, the form of which will be filed as an exhibit to a
Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and
incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which
this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors
should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of
Common Warrant for a complete description of the terms and
conditions of the Common Warrants.
Common Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
Duration and Exercise Price
Each Common Warrant offered hereby has an initial exercise price
per share equal to $0.55. The Common Warrants are immediately
exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the
original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits,
reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and
the exercise price. Subject to Nasdaq rules and regulations, the
Company may at any time during the term of the Common Warrant,
subject to the prior written consent of the applicable holder,
reduce the then current exercise price to any amount and for any
period of time deemed appropriate by our board of directors.
Exercisability
The Common Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each
holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed
exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of
shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in
the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder
(together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such
holder’s Common Warrant to the extent that the holder would own
more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of
the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise,
provided that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder
to us, the holder may increase this beneficial ownership limit to
up to 9.99% of the number of 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 Common
Warrants. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in
connection with the exercise of a Common Warrant. In lieu of
fractional shares, we will either pay the holder an amount in cash
equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or
round up to the next whole share.
Cashless Exercise
If, at the time a holder exercises its Common Warrants, a
registration statement registering the issuance or the resale of
the shares of common stock underlying the Common Warrants under the
Securities Act is not then effective or available, then in lieu of
making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us
upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the
holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in
whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock
determined according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants.
The Common Warrants will be automatically exercised on a cashless
basis on the expiration date.
Fundamental Transaction
In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the
Common Warrants and generally including any merger with or into
another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets,
tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our shares
of common stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Common
Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative
consideration, for each share of 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 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 common stock for which the Common Warrant
is exercisable immediately prior to such event. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders
of the Common Warrants have the right to require us or a successor
entity to redeem the Common Warrants for cash in the amount of the
Black–Scholes Value (as defined in each Common Warrant) of the
unexercised portion of the Common Warrants 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 Common
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 Common 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 Common Warrant may be transferred at
the option of the holder upon surrender of the Common Warrant to us
together with the appropriate instruments of transfer and payment
of funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes (if applicable).
Exchange Listing
There is no trading market for the Common Warrants on any
securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do
not intend to list the Common Warrants on any securities exchange
or nationally recognized trading system.
Right as a Stockholder
Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of
such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders
of the Common Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of
holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until
they exercise their Common Warrants.

We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for accountable legal
expenses in connection with this offering not to exceed $75,000. We
estimate that expenses payable by us in connection with this
offering, including reimbursement of the underwriter’s
out-of-pocket expenses, but excluding the underwriting discount
referred to above, will be approximately $100,000.
Stabilization
In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in
stabilizing transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover
positions created by short sales.
|
● |
Stabilizing
transactions permit bids to purchase shares, so long as the
stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged
in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the
market price of the shares while the offering is in
progress. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Overallotment transactions involve
sales by the underwriter of shares of common stock in excess of the
number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase. This
creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered
short position or a naked short position. In a covered short
position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriter is
not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase in the
overallotment option. In a naked short position, the number of
shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the
overallotment option. The underwriter may close out any short
position by exercising its overallotment option and/or purchasing
shares in the open market. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Penalty
bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a
syndicate member when the shares of common stock originally sold by
that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing transactions to
cover syndicate short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions and penalty bids may have the effect
of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or
preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common
stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open
market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of
these transactions.
Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or
prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above
may have on the prices of our securities. These transactions may
occur on the Nasdaq or on any other trading market. If any of these
transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice
at any time.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain
liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act,
or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required
to make in respect of those liabilities.
Lock-Up Agreements
Our directors and executive officers have entered into lock-up
agreements. Under these agreements, these individuals have agreed,
subject to specified exceptions, not to sell or transfer any shares
of common stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or
exercisable for, our shares of common stock during a period ending
90 days after the date of this prospectus, without first obtaining
the written consent of the underwriter. Specifically, these
individuals have agreed, in part, not to:
|
● |
offer,
sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, lend or hypothecate, pledge or otherwise

might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether
by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash
settlement or otherwise) by such person or any affiliate of such
person or any person in privity with such person or any such
affiliate), directly or indirectly, of any of our shares of common
stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
establish
or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a
call equivalent position, enter into any swap or other agreement,
arrangement, hedge or transaction that transfers to another, in
whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of our common stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common
stock, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of
our shares of common stock, in cash or otherwise; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
publicly
disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. |
Notwithstanding these limitations, these shares of common stock may
be transferred under limited circumstances, including, without
limitation, by gift, will or intestate succession.
In addition, we have agreed that, for a period of ninety (90) days
from the date of this prospectus, we will not (i) offer, pledge,
sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any of our shares of common stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our
shares of common stock; (ii) file or caused to be filed any
registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any
of our shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for our shares of common stock; (iii)

in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction
described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is to be settled by delivery
of our shares of common stock or such other securities, in cash or
otherwise.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the trading symbol

Common Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In
addition, we do not intend to list the Common Warrants on Nasdaq,
any other national securities exchange or any other nationally
recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the
liquidity of the Common Warrants will be limited.
Passive Market Making
In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in
passive market making transactions in our common shares on Nasdaq
in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act
during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of
common shares and extending through the completion of the
distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a
price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that
security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the
passive market maker’s bid that bid must then be lowered when
specified purchase limits are exceeded.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any
statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
assumptions or future events or performance are not historical
facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but
are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,”
and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms, or similar
expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates,
assumptions and uncertainties which could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking
statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
factors discussed throughout this prospectus, and in particular
those factors referenced in the section entitled “Risk
Factors.”
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are based on
our management’s belief and assumptions and on information
currently available to our management. These statements relate to
future events or our future financial performance, and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. Numerous factors could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those described
in forward-looking statements, including, among other
things:
● |
our
dependence on the success of our prospective product candidates,
which are in early stages of development and may not reach a
particular stage in development, receive regulatory approval or be
successfully commercialized; |
|
|
● |
potential
difficulties that may delay, suspend, or scale back our efforts to
advance additional early research programs through preclinical
development and IND application filings and into clinical
development; |
|
|
● |
the
impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business,
including our current plans for product development, as well as any
currently ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials and any
future studies or other development or commercialization
activities; |
|
|
● |
the
limited study on the effects of medical cannabinoids, and the
chance that future clinical research studies may lead to
conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and
belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy,
dosing, and social acceptance of cannabinoids; |
|
|
● |
the
expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain nature of clinical trials,
which are susceptible to change, delays, termination, and differing
interpretations; |
|
|
● |
the
ability to establish that potential products are efficacious or
safe in preclinical or clinical trials; |
|
|
● |
the
fact that our current and future preclinical and clinical studies
may be conducted outside the United States, and the United States
Food and Drug Administration may not accept data from such studies
to support any new drug applications we may submit after completing
the applicable developmental and regulatory
prerequisites; |
|
|
● |
the
ability to establish or maintain collaborations on the development
of therapeutic candidates; |
|
|
● |
the
ability to obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals
to market potential products; |
|
|
● |
our
ability to manufacture product candidates on a commercial scale or
in collaborations with third parties; |
|
|
● |
our
significant and increasing liquidity needs and potential
requirements for additional funding; |
|
|
● |
our
ability to obtain future funding for developmental products and
working capital and to obtain such funding on commercially
reasonable terms; |
|
|
● |
the
intense competition we face, often from companies with greater
resources and experience than us; |
|
|
● |
our
ability to retain key executives and scientists; |
|
|
● |
the
ability to secure and enforce legal rights related to our products,
including intellectual property rights and patent protection;
and |
|
|
● |
political,
economic, and military instability in Israel which may impede our
development programs. |
We
have included important factors in the cautionary statements
included in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by
reference herein and therein, particularly in the “Risk Factors”
section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2020, that we believe could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements
that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the
potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions,
joint ventures or investments we may make. No forward-looking
statement is a guarantee of future performance.
You
should read this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement,
any related free-writing prospectus, and the documents incorporated
by reference herein and therein completely and with the
understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity,
performance and events and circumstances may be materially
different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any
prospectus supplement herein and therein represent our views as of
the date of this prospectus are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this cautionary statement. We anticipate that
subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change.
However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, we have no current
intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable
law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking
statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to
the date of this prospectus.
ABOUT ENVERIC
BIOSCIENCES
Unless
the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,”
“Enveric,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Enveric
Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
We
are an early-development-stage biosciences company with an initial
focus on developing innovative, evidence-based prescription
products and combination therapies containing cannabinoids to
address unmet needs in cancer care. We seek to improve the lives of
patients suffering from cancer, initially by developing palliative
and supportive care products for people suffering from certain side
effects of cancer and cancer treatment such as pain or skin
irritation. We currently intend to offer such palliative and
supportive care products in the United States, following approval
through established regulatory pathways.
We
are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid
combination therapies for hard-to-treat cancers, including
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and several other indications which
are currently being researched.
We
intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians, researchers,
academic and industry partners so as to develop both external
proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product
candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for
cancer patients. We intend to evaluate options to out-license its
proprietary technology as it moves along the regulatory pathway and
evaluates the building of a small, targeted selling organization
and will potentially utilize a hybrid approach based on the product
indication and the market opportunity.
In
developing our product candidates, we intend to focus on
cannabinoids derived from hemp, other botanical sources, and
synthetic materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in
order to comply with U.S. federal regulations. Of the potential
cannabinoids to be used in therapeutic formulations, THC, which is
responsible for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can
result in undesirable mood effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) and
cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, are not psychotropic and are
therefore more attractive candidates for translation into
therapeutic practice. In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids
that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain THC;
however, we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is
legal. These product candidates will then be studied through a
typical Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) drug approval
process.

Corporate
Information
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a
shell company immediately prior to the completion of a “reverse
merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, whereby Ameri100 Acquisition,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly created, wholly owned
subsidiary, was merged with and into Ameri and Partners Inc.
(“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “2015 Merger”).
As a result of the 2015 Merger, Ameri and Partners became Ameri’s
wholly owned subsidiary with Ameri and Partners’ former
stockholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of
Ameri common stock. The 2015 Merger was consummated under Delaware
law pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization,
dated as of May 26, 2015 (the “2015 Merger Agreement”), and in
connection with the 2015 Merger, Ameri changed its name to AMERI
Holdings, Inc. Ameri did business under the brand name “Ameri100.”
Ameri, along with its eleven operating subsidiaries, provided SAP
cloud, digital and enterprise services to clients
worldwide.
The
Ameri business ceased to be part of the Company on December 30,
2020, pursuant to the spin-off of the Ameri business. On December
30, 2020, we also completed the offer to purchase all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Jay Pharma, Inc. and changed our name to
“Enveric Biosciences, Inc.”
Our
principal corporate office is located at Enveric Biosciences, Inc.,
4851 Tamiami Trail N, Suite 200, telephone (239) 302-1707. Our
website address is https://www.enveric.com/. Our annual
reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current
reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports, are
available to you free of charge through the “Investors” section of
our web site as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials
have been electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
Information contained on our website does not form a part of this
prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus
solely as a textual reference.
Offerings
Under This Prospectus
We
may offer up to $200.0 million of common stock, preferred stock,
warrants and/or units in one or more offerings and in any
combination. This prospectus provides you with a general
description of the securities we may offer. A prospectus
supplement, which we will provide each time we offer securities,
will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of these
securities.
Common Stock
We
may issue shares of our common stock from time to time. Each share
of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person
or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. Our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, as amended, does not provide for
cumulative voting. All of our directors hold office for one-year
terms until the election and qualification of their successors.
Except as otherwise provided by law, our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, as amended, or our amended and
restated bylaws, in all matters other than the election of
directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power
of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act
of the stockholders. In addition, except as otherwise provided by
law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as
amended, or our amended and restated bylaws, directors are elected
by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the
election of directors.
The
holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out
of legally available funds. We have never paid cash dividends on
our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future but intend to retain our capital resources
for reinvestment in our business. Any future disposition of
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and
will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings,
operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other
factors. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights or
other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking
fund provisions. Subject to the rights of the holders of our
preferred stock, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably
in the net assets legally available for distribution to
stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other
liabilities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of
our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by,
the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which
may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and
issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
We
may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one
or more series. Our board of directors will determine the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock,
including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms
of redemption, and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may
be greater than the rights of the common stock, without any further
vote or action by stockholders. Convertible preferred stock will be
convertible into our common stock or exchangeable for our other
securities. Conversion may be mandatory or at such holder’s option
or both and would be at prescribed conversion rates.
If we
sell any series of preferred stock under this prospectus and
applicable prospectus supplements, we will fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock of
such series in the certificate of designation relating to that
series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference
from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate
of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred
stock we are offering before the issuance of the related series of
preferred stock. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus
supplement related to the series of preferred stock being offered,
as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains
the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.
Warrants
We
may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred
stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or
together with common stock 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 agreement. We may enter into warrant agreements
with a bank or trust company that we select to be our 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.
In
this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the
warrants. We urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus
supplement related to the particular series of warrants being
offered, as well as the warrant agreements and warrant certificates
that contain the terms of the warrants. We will file as exhibits to
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or
will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the
SEC, the form of warrant agreement or warrant certificate
containing the terms of the warrants we are offering before the
issuance of the warrants.
Units
We
may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock and/or
warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock in one
or more series. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain
general features of the units. We urge you, however, to read the
applicable prospectus supplement related to the series of units
being offered, as well as the unit agreements that contain the
terms of the units. We will file as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate
by reference reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit
agreement and any supplemental agreements that describe the terms
of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the
related series of units.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
the other information contained in this prospectus and in the
documents we incorporate by reference, you should carefully
consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk
Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all
of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in
the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks,
uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk
Factors,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or any
updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all
other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into
this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, before
deciding whether to purchase any securities being offered. The
risks and uncertainties discussed in the foregoing are not the only
ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm
our business. Past financial performance may not be a reliable
indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not
be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any
of these risks occur, our business, business prospects, financial
condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This
could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline,
resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also
read carefully the section above entitled “Cautionary Statement
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
We
cannot assure you that we will receive any proceeds in connection
with securities which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement,
we intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities under
this prospectus for our operations and for other general corporate
purposes, including, but not limited to, general working capital
and possible future acquisitions. We have not determined the
amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the
timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have
broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds, if any, we receive
in connection with securities offered pursuant to this prospectus
for any purpose. Pending application of the net proceeds as
described above, we may initially invest the net proceeds in
investment-grade, interest-bearing securities such as money market
funds, certificates of deposit, or direct or guaranteed obligations
of the U.S. government, hold as cash or apply them to the reduction
of short-term indebtedness.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following description sets forth certain material terms and
provisions of our securities that we may offer under this
prospectus, but is not complete. This description also summarizes
relevant provisions of Delaware law. The following summary does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, the applicable provisions of Delaware law
and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as
amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, copies of
which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K. In addition, you should be aware that the
summary below does not give full effect to the terms of the
provisions of statutory or common law, and we encourage you to read
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended,
our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, and the applicable
provisions of Delaware law for additional information. While the
terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future
common stock or preferred stock that we may offer, we will describe
the specific terms of any series of preferred stock in more detail
in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a
prospectus supplement, the terms of any preferred stock we offer
under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we
describe below.
Enveric

unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of
any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Unless
approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors
does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and
sale of our common stock or preferred stock.
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 and have no
cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled
to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by our board of
directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject
to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then
outstanding preferred stock. We have never paid cash dividends on
our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future but intend to retain our capital resources
for reinvestment in our business. Any future disposition of
dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and
will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings,
operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other
factors.
Holders
of our common stock do not have preemptive or conversion rights or
other subscription rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share in
all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the
liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of
preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders
of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the
rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred
stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Except
as otherwise provided by
law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as
amended, or our amended and restated bylaws, in all matters other
than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority
of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter
shall be the act of the stockholders. In addition, except as
otherwise provided by law, our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, or our amended and restated bylaws,
directors are elected by a plurality of the voting power of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and
entitled to vote on the election of directors.
Preferred
Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations
prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the
stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock
in one or more series. Each such series of preferred stock shall
have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting
powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or
privileges as shall be determined by the board of directors, which
may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights,
liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
Issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors may result in
such shares having dividend and/or liquidation preferences senior
to the rights of the holders of our common stock and could dilute
the voting rights of the holders of our common stock.
Prior to the issuance of shares of each series of preferred stock,
the board of directors is required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, as amended, to adopt resolutions and
file a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware. The certificate of designation fixes for
each class or series the designations, powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including, but not
limited to, some or all of the following:
|
● |
the
number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive
designation of that series, which number may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding)
from time to time by action of the board of directors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
dividend rate and the manner and frequency of payment of dividends
on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative,
and, if so, from which date; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether
that series will have voting rights, in addition to any voting
rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting
rights; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether
that series will have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms
and conditions of such conversion, including provision for
adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the board of
directors may determine; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether
or not the shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so,
the terms and conditions of such redemption; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether
that series will have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase
of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such
sinking fund; |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether
or not the shares of the series will have priority over or be on a
parity with or be junior to the shares of any other series or class
in any respect; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, and the relative rights or priority, if any, of
payment of shares of that series; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that
series. |
Once designated by our board of directors, each series of preferred
stock may have specific financial and other terms that will be
described in a prospectus supplement. The description of the
preferred stock that is set forth in any prospectus supplement is
not complete without reference to the documents that govern the
preferred stock. These include our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, as amended, and any certificates of designation
that our board of directors may adopt.
All
shares of preferred stock offered hereby will, when issued, be
fully paid and nonassessable, including shares of preferred stock
issued upon the exercise of preferred stock warrants or
subscription rights, if any.
Although
our board of directors has no intention at the present time of
doing so, it could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred
stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the
completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover
attempt.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law, our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws
Delaware Law
We
are subject to Section 203
of the DGCL. Section 203 generally prohibits a public 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 the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
interested stockholder owned at least 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 (i) shares owned by persons who are directors and also
officers and (ii) shares owned 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
subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination
is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the
affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting
stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section
203 defines a business combination to include:
|
● |
any
merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the
interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the
interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the
corporation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
subject
to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or
transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the
interested stockholder; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided
by or through the corporation. |
In general,
Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or
person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting
stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with,
or controlling, or controlled by, the entity or person. The term
“owner” is broadly defined to include any person that,
individually, with or through that person’s affiliates or
associates, among other things, beneficially owns the stock, or has
the right to acquire the stock, whether or not the right is
immediately exercisable, under any agreement or understanding or
upon the exercise of warrants or options or otherwise or has the
right to vote the stock under any agreement or understanding, or
has an agreement or understanding with the beneficial owner of the
stock for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
the stock.
The
restrictions in Section 203 do not apply to corporations that have
elected, in the manner provided in Section 203, not to be subject
to Section 203 of the DGCL or, with certain exceptions, which do
not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national
securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000
stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws do not
opt out of Section 203.
Section 203
could delay or prohibit mergers or other takeover or change in
control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may
discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction
may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a
price above the prevailing market price.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws may
delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential
change in our control or change in our management, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a
premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders
might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore,
these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common
stock. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, and amended and restated bylaws:
|
● |
permit
our board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, without further action by the stockholders, with
any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate,
including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in
control; |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide
that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by a
resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized
directors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
do
not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the
holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to
vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors
standing for election, if they should so choose); and |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide
advance notice provisions with which a stockholder who wishes to
nominate a director or propose other business to be considered at a
stockholder meeting must comply. |
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 the Company by means of a merger,
tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the
continuity of the Company’s management. In addition, our board of
directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights,
preferences, privileges 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 DGCL and subject to any
limitations set forth in our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended. The purpose of authorizing our 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.
Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors,
Officers and Employees
Section
145 of the DGCL permits indemnification of directors, officers,
agents and controlling persons of a corporation under certain
conditions and subject to certain limitations. Section 145 empowers
a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or
she is or was a director, officer or agent of the corporation or
another enterprise if serving at the request of the Company.
Depending on the character of the proceeding, a corporation may
indemnify against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the
person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. In the case of an action by or in the right of the
corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication
of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a present or former
director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in
the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
therewith.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
The
following description, together with the additional information we
may include in any applicable prospectus supplements and free
writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions
of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, which may
consist of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock and
may be issued in one or more series. Warrants may be offered
independently or together with common stock or preferred stock
offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or
separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized
below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under
this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any
series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the
applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing
prospectus. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus
supplement may differ from the terms described below.
We
may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement that we will enter
into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. If selected, the
warrant agent will act solely as an agent of ours in connection
with the warrants and will not act as an agent for the holders or
beneficial owners of the warrants. If applicable, we will file as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part, or will incorporate by reference from a Current Report on
Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement,
including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms
of the particular series of warrants we are offering before the
issuance of the related series of warrants.
The
following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the
warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety
by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and
warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants.
We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any
applicable free writing prospectus related to the particular series
of warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the
complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain
the terms of the warrants.
General
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms
relating to a 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 agreements and the
warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any; |
|
|
|
|
● |
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 agreements and warrants may be
modified; |
|
|
|
|
● |
United
States federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the
warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the identities of the warrant agent and any calculation or other
agent for the warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any securities exchange or quotation system on which the warrants
or any securities deliverable upon exercise of the warrants may be
listed or quoted; |
|
|
|
|
● |
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 the right to receive dividends, if any, or,
payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to
exercise voting rights, if any.
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 the specified 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 us or the warrant agent as
applicable.
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
If
selected, 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 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.
Warrant
Agreement Will Not Be Qualified Under Trust Indenture
Act
No
warrant agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no warrant
agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939. Therefore, holders of warrants issued under
a warrant agreement will not have the protection of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to their warrants.
Governing
Law
Unless
we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, each
warrant agreement and any warrants issued under the warrant
agreements will be governed by New York law.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information we
may include in any applicable prospectus supplements and free
writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions
of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the
terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units
that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the
particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the
applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered
under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described
below.
We
will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a
Current Report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, the form of
unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we
are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance
of the related series of units. The following summaries of material
terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in
their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit
agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a
particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable
prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units
that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit
agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of
the units.
General
We
may issue units comprised of one or more shares of common stock,
shares of preferred stock and warrants in any combination. Each
unit 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.
We
will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of
the series of units, including:
|
● |
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
unit agreement under which the units will be issued; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or
exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;
and |
|
|
|
|
● |
whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global
form. |
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those described
under “Description of Capital Stock” and “Description of
Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock,
preferred stock or warrant included in each unit,
respectively.
Unit Agent
The
name and address of the unit agent, if any, for any units we offer
will be set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement.
Issuance
in Series
We
may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as
we determine.

|
|
● |
through
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
any other methods described in a prospectus supplement or free
writing prospectus. |
The
distribution of securities may be effected, from time to time, in
one or more transactions, including:
|
● |
block
transactions (which may involve crosses) and transactions on The
Nasdaq Capital Market or any other organized market where the
securities may be traded; |
|
|

|
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer
solicits purchasers; |

trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; and |
|
|
|

The
applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will

including:
|
● |
the
name or names of any underwriters, if, and if required, any dealers
or agents; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive
from the sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’
compensation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;
and |
|
|

transactions at:
|
● |
a

|
|
|
|
● |
market
prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
prices
related to such prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
negotiated
prices. |
Only
underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of
the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If
underwriters are used in an offering, we will execute an
underwriting agreement with such underwriters and will specify the
name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction
(including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting
compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus
supplement. The securities may be offered to the public either
through underwriting syndicates represented by managing
underwriters or directly by one or more investment banking firms or
others, as designated. If an underwriting syndicate is used, the
managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the
prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the
offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their
own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more
transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.
Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed
or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the
obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities
will be subject to conditions precedent, and the underwriters will
be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities, if any are
purchased.
We
may grant to the underwriters options to purchase additional
securities to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering
price, with additional underwriting commissions or discounts, as
may be set forth in a related prospectus supplement. The terms of
any over-allotment option will be set forth in the prospectus
supplement for those securities.
If we
use a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant
to this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, we will sell the
securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell
the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by
the dealer at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the
terms of the transaction will be specified in a prospectus
supplement.
We
may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate
from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering
and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will
pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus
supplement states otherwise, any agent will act on a best-efforts
basis for the period of its appointment.
We
may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by
institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the
public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement
pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and
delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the
conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for
solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus
supplement.
In
connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers
or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of
the securities for whom they act as agents, in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the
securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom
they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that
participate in the distribution of the securities, and any
institutional investors or others that purchase securities directly
for the purpose of resale or distribution, may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them
from us and any profit on the resale of the common stock by them
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We
may provide agents, underwriters and other purchasers with
indemnification against particular civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters
or other purchasers may make with respect to such liabilities.
Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform
services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
To
facilitate the public offering of a series of securities, persons
participating in the offering may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of the
securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the
securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the
offering of more securities than have been sold to them by us. In
addition, those persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the
securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open
market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions
allowed to underwriters or dealers participating in any such
offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are
repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The
effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the
market price of the securities at a level above that which might
otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if
commenced, may be discontinued at any time. We make no
representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of
any effect that the transactions described above, if implemented,
may have on the price of our securities.
Unless
otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, any
common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be
eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to
official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom securities
are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in
the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do
so and may discontinue any market making at any time without
notice.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if
applicable, the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will
be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in some states securities may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the
applicable state or an exemption from the registration or
qualification requirement is available and complied
with.

The
validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be
passed upon for us by Haynes and Boone, LLP, New York, New
