EXPLANATORY NOTE
Misonix, Inc. (f/k/a New Misonix, Inc.),
a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), files this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements on Form
S-8 listed below (this “Amendment”) as the successor registrant to its now direct, wholly-owned subsidiary Misonix
OpCo, Inc., (f/k/a Misonix, Inc.), a New York corporation (“Old Misonix”), in accordance with Rule 414 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Amendment is a result of the Transaction (as defined below) and
pertains to the adoption by the Registrant of Registration Statement Nos. 333-219348, 333-203944, 333-188554, 333-165088, 333-130874
and 333-63166 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), originally covering shares of Old Misonix common stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the “Predecessor Common Stock”), issuable pursuant to the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan,
2005 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, 2005 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, 2009 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, 2009 Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan, 2012 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, 2012 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, 2014 Employee Equity
Incentive Plan and 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).
On September 27, 2019, the Registrant,
Old Misonix and Solsys Medical, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Solsys”), consummated a business combination
transaction (the “Transaction”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”),
dated as of May 2, 2019, by and among the Registrant, Old Misonix, Motor Reincorp. Sub One, Inc., a New York corporation, Surge
Sub Two, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Solsys and, solely in his capacity as the representative for the equityholders
of Solsys, Greg Madden, whereby, among other things, the Registrant became the holding company for Old Misonix and Solsys.
In accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement, each outstanding share of Predecessor Common Stock was converted into one share of the Registrant’s common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the “Registrant Common Stock”). As a result of the Transaction, each stockholder of Old
Misonix became a stockholder of the Registrant. In connection with the Transaction, the Registrant assumed Old Misonix’s
existing obligations in connection with awards granted under the Plans and amended the Plans and awards as necessary to provide
for the issuance of Registrant Common Stock rather than Predecessor Common Stock upon the exercise and settlement of awards, as
applicable.
In accordance with Rule 414 under the
Securities Act, the Registrant, as the successor registrant to Old Misonix, hereby expressly adopts the Registration Statements
as its own for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Registration fees were paid at the time of filing the original Registration Statements.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Indemnification
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (“DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made,
parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director,
employee, or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee,
or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or
proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, a
party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that
such person was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation
as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action
or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s
best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to
be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action
referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses that such officer or director has actually and
reasonably incurred. The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the indemnification
of the Registrant’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for
any:
|
●
|
transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit;
|
|
●
|
act or omission not in good faith or that involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
●
|
unlawful payment of dividends, unlawful stock purchase
or redemption of shares; or
|
|
●
|
breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders.
|
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among
other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase
or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing
minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives
notice of the unlawful acts.
The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation
provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. Expenses incurred
by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by
the Registrant, provided such director must repay amounts in excess of the indemnification such director is entitled to.
The Registrant
has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers. These agreements require
the Registrant to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the Registrant, and to advance expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The Registrant also intends to enter
into indemnification agreements with its future directors and executive officers.

Powers of Attorney (included on signature page)
|
(a) The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration
Statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement
is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this post-effective amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Farmingdale, State of New York, on this 3rd day of October, 2019.
