PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information about us, this offering and information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus, and in the documents we incorporated by reference. This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. Before making an investment decision, to fully understand this offering and its consequences to you, you should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the section titled “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes and the other information that we incorporate by reference herein, as well as the information included in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this prospectus supplement, the terms “ImmunityBio,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to ImmunityBio, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Our Business
ImmunityBio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that complement, harness, and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. We strive to be a vertically-integrated immunotherapy company designing and manufacturing our products so they are more effective, accessible, more conveniently stored, and more easily administered to patients.
Our broad immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms are designed to attack cancer and infectious pathogens by activating both the innate immune system—natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages—and the adaptive immune system—B cells and T cells—in an orchestrated manner. The goal of this potentially best-in-class approach is to generate immunogenic cell death thereby eliminating rogue cells from the body whether they are cancerous or virally infected. Our ultimate goal is to employ this approach to establish an “immunological memory” that confers long-term benefit for the patient.
Our business is based on the foundation of multiple platforms that collectively act on the entire immune response with the goal of targeted, durable, coordinated, and safe immunity against disease. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to overcome the limitations of the current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases, such as checkpoint inhibitors and antiretroviral therapies. We believe that we have established one of the most comprehensive portfolios of immunotherapy and vaccine platforms, which includes:
S-2

a01-platform.jpg
Our platforms include 8 first-in-human therapeutic agents that are currently being studied in 27 clinical trials—18 of which are in Phase 2 or 3 development—across 13 indications in liquid and solid tumors, including bladder, pancreatic and lung cancers. These are among the most frequent and lethal cancer types for which there are high failure rates for existing standards of care or, in some cases, no available effective treatment. In infectious disease, our pipeline currently targets such pathogens as the novel strain of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We believe SARS-CoV-2 currently lacks a vaccine that provides long-term protection against the virus, particularly its variants, while HIV affects tens of millions of people globally and currently has no known cure.
We believe that our innovative approach to orchestrate and combine therapies for optimal immune system response will become a therapeutic foundation across multiple clinical indications. Additionally, we believe that data from multiple clinical trials indicates N-803 (Anktiva) has broad potential to enhance the activity of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., Keytruda), across a wide range of tumor types. Anktiva is currently being studied in 21 clinical trials (both ImmunityBio and investigator-sponsored) across 13 indications. Although such designations may not lead to a faster development process or regulatory review and may not increase the likelihood that a product candidate will receive approval, N-803, ImmunityBio’s novel antibody cytokine fusion protein, has received Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations in combination with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) from the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) carcinoma in situ (CIS). On May 23, 2022, we announced the submission of a BLA to the FDA for N-803 plus BCG for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC CIS with or without Ta or T1 disease.
We have established Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturing capacity at scale with cutting-edge cell manufacturing expertise and ready-to-scale facilities, as well as extensive and seasoned research and development (R&D), clinical trial, and regulatory operations, and development teams.

Our Strategy
We seek to become the leading global immunological therapeutics company by creating the next generation of immunotherapies to address serious unmet needs within oncology and infectious diseases. To achieve this goal, the key elements of our strategy include:
advancing the approval and commercialization of our lead antibody cytokine fusion protein, Anktiva, as an integral component of immunotherapy combinations, including those with checkpoint inhibitors;
continuously scrutinizing our clinical pipeline and assessing our strategic priorities to maximize opportunities for regulatory approval and to meet unmet medical needs;
accelerating our immunotherapy platform and product candidates with registrational intent to address difficult-to-treat oncological and infectious disease indications;
continuing to prospect, license, and acquire technologies to complement and strengthen our platforms and product candidates, both as single agent and combination therapies, in order to activate and coordinate the innate and adaptive immune system to generate cellular memory against multiple tumor types and infectious diseases;
optimizing investment in our discovery, development, and manufacturing capabilities for our next-generation targeted antibody cytokine fusion proteins and vaccine candidates, as well as for cell therapies;
advancing our formulations and delivery mechanisms to make our promising biotechnology product candidates available to the broadest population possible; and
cultivating new and expanding existing collaborations for our multi-stage pipeline to efficiently scale globally.
Intellectual Property
For information related to our intellectual property please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 under Part I, Item 1. “Business—Intellectual Property” and “Business—Collaboration and License Agreements.”
Human Capital
Our Human Capital Talent Strategy relies on attracting, retaining and developing top talent that align with our culture and mission to “outsmart your disease.” We promote a culture that is focused on delivering treatments utilizing natural immunities, and we seek to harness our science first focus to deliver solutions to patients and families. As of March 31, 2022, we had 688 employees located in our offices in Southern California, Washington, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Italy. We have not been subject to labor action or union activities, and our management considers its relationships with employees to be good.
We believe that fostering a workplace that celebrates differences and strengths creates an environment that supports the inclusion and value of diverse thoughts, backgrounds and perspectives. A well rounded culture allows for ongoing dialogue and discussions that challenge the status quo and create a learning environment that supports diversity, equity and inclusion. As part of our commitment we continue to encourage a culture where employees can freely ask questions and raise concerns. Our annual performance review process helps support our commitment to develop and retain top talent by providing an opportunity to have open dialogue, establish goals, discuss milestones and continue to engage in opportunities to develop and cultivate the talent. Additionally, our management team makes themselves available to all employees including 1:1s, Department Meetings and Town Hall events.
S-4

Our ongoing success will continue to depend on our ability to attract, engage and retain top talent in an ever growing competitive market. We offer a competitive compensation package to help meet the needs of our employees. In addition to salaries, these programs include annual bonuses, stock awards, a 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, flexible work schedules, an employee assistance program, among others. We work to ensure pay equity by assessing our compensation practices and working with external benchmarks and compensation consultants to design and benchmark our programs.
Our ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which complies with government orders in all the states and counties where we operate, focuses on employee health and wellness. We implemented a number of health-related measures over the past two years. We continue to support a general work from home policy and restrict on-site access to essential employees such as laboratory personnel, increasing hygiene, cleaning and sanitizing procedures at our office and laboratory facilities, requiring face masks be worn while on company premises, and implementing temperature checks and COVID-19 testing requirements in order to enter company facilities.

Controls and Procedures
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Recent Developments
On May 23, 2022, ImmunityBio announced the submission of a BLA to the FDA for N-803 plus BCG for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC CIS with or without Ta or T1 disease.
Additional Information
For additional information related to our business and operations, please refer to the reports incorporated herein by reference, as described under the caption “Information Incorporated by Reference” on page S-24 of this prospectus supplement.
Organization and Development of ImmunityBio, Inc.
ImmunityBio, Inc. was established following a series of mergers and name changes. We were incorporated in Illinois on October 7, 2002 under the name ZelleRx Corporation. Our name was later changed to Conkwest, Inc., and we were reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2014. On July 10, 2015, we changed our name to NantKwest, Inc.
NantCell, LLC was originally organized as a Delaware limited liability company in November 2014. In April 2015, it was converted to a Delaware corporation, NantCell, Inc., and in May 2019 changed its name to ImmunityBio, Inc. (a private company).
On December 21, 2020, NantKwest, Inc. and ImmunityBio, Inc. entered into a merger agreement (the Merger Agreement) providing for the combination of the two companies (the Merger), with NantKwest, Inc. being the surviving company which then changed its name to ImmunityBio, Inc. (and ImmunityBio, Inc., a private company, changed its name back to NantCell, Inc. and is now our wholly owned subsidiary). At the time, NantKwest, Inc. was an innovative, clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on harnessing the power of the innate immune system to treat cancer and infectious diseases, and ImmunityBio, Inc. was a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing next-generation therapies that drive immunogenic mechanisms for defeating cancer and infectious diseases, with an immunotherapy platform designed to activate both the innate and adaptive immune systems to create long-term “immunological memory.” We believe that the Merger, which closed on March 9, 2021, combined two companies to create a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that complement, harness, and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases.
ImmunityBio, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and its principal executive offices are located in San Diego, California.
Our principal executive offices are located at 3530 John Hopkins Court, San Diego, California 92121. Our telephone number is (858) 633-0300. Our website address is https://www.immunitybio.com.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully, among other matters, the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus, and those discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022 under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” which is incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, updated, supplemented or superseded from time-to-time by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering.
The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could harm our future results. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. 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 actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Such risks may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and the global economy. Please also read carefully the section below titled “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Relating to the Offering
We will need additional financing to fund our operations and complete the development and commercialization of our various product candidates, and if we are unable to obtain such financing when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates.
We have generated minimal revenue from non-exclusive license agreements related to our cell lines, the sale of our bioreactors and related consumables, and grant programs. We have no clinical products approved for commercial sale and have not generated any revenue from therapeutic and vaccine product candidates that are under development. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.1 billion. Substantially all of our net losses resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with our ongoing clinical trials and operations, our research and development programs, and from selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stock-based compensation expense. We expect our research and development expense to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates through clinical development and conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials.
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $193.2 million. In order to complete the development of our current product candidates, and implement our business plan, we will require substantial additional funding. Furthermore, changing circumstances may cause us to increase our spending significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to raise even greater amounts of funds sooner if we choose to expand more rapidly than we presently anticipate. Moreover, our fixed expenses such as rent and other contractual commitments are substantial and are expected to increase in the future.
As a result of continuing anticipated operating cash outflows, we believe that substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern without additional funding or financial support. However, we believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities, together with capital to be raised through equity offerings (including the ATM) and our potential ability to borrow from affiliated entities, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months following the issuance of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022 based primarily upon our Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer’s intent and ability to support our operations with additional funds, including loans from affiliated entities, as required, which we believe alleviates such doubt. We may also seek to sell additional equity, through one or more follow-on public offerings, or in separate financings, or obtain a credit facility. However, we may not be able to secure such external financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms. Without additional funds, we may choose to delay or reduce our operating or investment expenditures. Further, because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates, we may need additional funds to meet our needs sooner than planned.
S-10

We will need to obtain additional financing to fund our future operations, including completing the development and commercialization of our product candidates. Changing circumstances may cause us to increase our spending significantly faster than we currently anticipate and we may need to raise additional funds sooner than we presently anticipate. Moreover, research and development and our operating costs and fixed expenses such as rent and other contractual commitments, including those for our research collaborations, are substantial and are expected to increase in the future.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
progress, timing, scope and costs of our clinical trials, including the ability to timely initiate clinical sites, enroll subjects and manufacture Anktiva and other therapies for the treatment of patients in our ongoing, planned and potential future clinical trials;
time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals that may be required by regulatory authorities to execute clinical trials;
our ability to successfully commercialize any product candidates, if approved;
our ability to have clinical and commercial product successfully manufactured consistent with FDA and European Medicines Agency regulations;
amount of sales and other revenues from product candidates that we may commercialize, if any, including the selling prices for such potential products and the availability of adequate third-party coverage and reimbursement for patients;
sales and marketing costs associated with commercializing any product candidates, if approved, including the cost and timing of building our marketing and sales capabilities;
cost of building, staffing and validating our own manufacturing facility in the United States;
terms and timing of our current and any potential future collaborations, contingent value rights, milestones, royalties, licensing or other arrangements that we have established or may establish;
cash requirements of any future acquisitions or the development of other product candidates;
time and cost necessary to respond to technological, regulatory, political and market developments;
costs of filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and
costs associated with any potential business or product acquisitions, strategic collaborations, licensing agreements or other arrangements that we may establish.
Unless and until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenues, we expect to seek to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, license agreements, debt financings, credit facilities, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing or distribution arrangements. In that connection, we intend to issue additional shares in connection with this offering and one or more future capital raising transactions. Additional funds may not be available when we seek to raise capital or need funds on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We have no committed source of additional capital and if we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts. Our current license agreements may also be terminated if we are unable to meet the payment obligations under those agreements. As a result, we may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time.
S-11

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities, including convertible debt, or through the ATM or other offerings, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could involve certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. If we raise additional funds through strategic partnerships and alliances and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms unfavorable to us. We have no committed source of additional capital and if we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts. Our current license and collaboration agreements may also be terminated if we are unable to meet the payment obligations under those agreements. As a result, we may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time.
Our debt could adversely affect our cash flows and limit our flexibility to raise additional capital.
We have a significant amount of debt and may need to incur additional debt to support our growth. As of March 31, 2022, our indebtedness totaled $609.0 million, (consisting of related-party promissory notes and accrued and unpaid interest, less unamortized debt issuance costs), held by entities affiliated with Dr. Soon-Shiong.
Our substantial amount of debt could have important consequences and could:
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents to make interest and principal payments on our debt, reducing the availability of our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to fund future capital expenditures, working capital, execution of our strategy and other general corporate requirements;
increase our cost of borrowing and even limit our ability to access additional debt to fund future growth;
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and adverse changes in governmental regulations;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, which may place us at a disadvantage compared with our competitors; and
limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity, which would also limit our ability to further expand our business.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may need to refinance a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. In particular, we have a $300.0 million promissory note with an entity affiliated with Dr. Soon-Shiong that becomes due and payable on December 17, 2022. In the event of a default on the loan (as defined in the promissory note), including if we do not repay the loan at maturity, the company has the right, at its sole option, to convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest due under this note into shares of the company’s common stock at a price equal to $5.67 per share. If we decide to convert this note into shares of common stock, it may be dilutive to our current stockholders. There can be no assurance that we can refinance this promissory note or what terms will be available in the market at the time of refinancing. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to the refinanced indebtedness would increase. These risks could materially adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
S-12

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds we will receive from this offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds.” We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, together with other available funds, for general corporate purposes, including to progress our commercialization efforts and clinical development programs, fund other research and development activities, make capital expenditures and fund working capital. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to license intellectual property or to make acquisitions or investments. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that our stockholders may not desire or that may not yield a favorable return. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the sale agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
Subject to certain limitations in the sale agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instruction to the sale agent to sell shares of our common stock at any time throughout the term of the sale agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the sale agent after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sale agent in any instruction to sell shares, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.
The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices and may therefore experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
We will require more capital to pursue our preclinical and clinical activities, regulatory approval and the commercialization of our products. In addition, we may also choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less 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 our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
S-13

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.
The price per share of our common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 86,823,092 shares are sold at a price of $3.81 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 23, 2022, for aggregate proceeds of $330,795,982 in this offering, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $3.89 per share, representing the difference between the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock as of March 31, 2022 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price of $3.81 per share. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negative of those terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The sections in this prospectus supplement entitled “Risk Factors” and in the accompanying prospectus and the risks discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022 under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus as well as other disclosures included in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, discuss some of the factors that could contribute to these differences.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance time frames or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, time frames or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements or, even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date such forward- looking statements are made. You should read carefully this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectuses that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, together with the information incorporated herein and therein by reference as described in the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information,” completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We hereby qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $330,795,982 from time to time under this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the sale agreement as a source of financing.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, together with other available funds, to progress our commercialization efforts and clinical development programs, fund other research and development activities, for capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to license intellectual property or to make acquisitions or investments. This expected use of our 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 may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our product candidate development, the status of and results from clinical trials, as well as any collaborations that we may enter into with third parties for our product candidates, and any unforeseen cash needs. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the timing and allocation of our net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of our net proceeds from this offering. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including: competitive and technological developments; the progress of our clinical trials; regulatory approval of our product candidates; costs to commercialize our product candidates if approved; the anticipated growth of our business; and a number of other factors, including those listed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Pending these uses, we plan to invest these net proceeds primarily in investment grade short- to intermediate-term corporate debt securities, government-sponsored securities, and foreign government bonds. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund our operations.
We anticipate that we will be required to raise substantial additional capital to continue to fund the clinical development of our product candidates and commercialize approved products. We expect to seek to raise additional capital through additional public or private financings which may be in the form of equity, debt, warrants, units or convertible securities.
S-18

DILUTION
If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering.
Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2022 was $(359.9) million, or $(0.90) per share, based on the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022. Net tangible book value per share is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.
After giving effect to the assumed sale of 86,823,092 shares of common stock in the aggregate amount of $330,795,982 at an assumed public offering price of $3.81 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on May 23, 2022, and after deduction of commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2022 would have been approximately $(36.6) million, or $(0.08) per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.82 per share to our existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $3.89 per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering.
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:
Assumed public offering price per share$3.81 
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2022$(0.90)
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors
   purchasing shares in this offering
0.82 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering(0.08)
Dilution per share to new investors participating in this offering$3.89 
We may also increase or decrease the aggregate dollar amount of shares we are offering from the amount set forth above. The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price, the actual number of shares that we offer in this offering, and other terms of this offering determined at the time of each offer and sale.
S-19

The foregoing table and calculations are based on 397,956,762 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and excludes the following:
163,800 shares issued to GlobeImmune, Inc., our consolidated subsidiary, which are treated as treasury stock for purposes of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
8,819,466 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options to purchase common stock that were outstanding as of March 31, 2022;
6,149,411 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units that were outstanding as of March 31, 2022;
1,638,000 shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding warrant that will become exercisable if certain performance conditions are satisfied;
336,274 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2015 Plan (there are no shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2014 Plan);
any shares of our common stock issuable to the former stockholders of Altor, including Dr. Soon-Shiong and certain of his affiliates, in satisfaction of an aggregate of approximately $300.6 million in CVRs, which such stockholders may choose to receive in shares of our common stock, upon successful approval of a BLA or foreign equivalent for N-803 by December 31, 2022;
any shares of our common stock issuable to the former stockholders of Altor, including Dr. Soon-Shiong and certain affiliates, in satisfaction of an aggregate of approximately $300.6 million in CVRs, which such stockholders may choose to receive in shares of our common stock, upon the first calendar year prior to December 31, 2026 in which worldwide net sales of N-803 exceed $1.0 billion; and
any shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of a $300.0 million promissory note due December 17, 2022, issued to Nant Capital, LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Soon-Shiong, for unpaid principal and interest at a conversion price of $5.67 per share of common stock (subject to appropriate adjustment from time to time for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event), in the event of a default on the loan (as defined in the promissory note), including if we do not repay the loan at maturity, and if we elect at our sole option, to settle the outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest due through conversion instead of payment in cash.
In addition, unless we specifically state otherwise, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of outstanding stock options subsequent to March 31, 2022.
S-20

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a sale agreement with Jefferies, under which we may offer and sell up to $500,000,000 of shares of our common stock from time to time through Jefferies acting as our sales agent, of which $169,204,018 have been previously sold, leaving $330,795,982 of shares in this offering.
Sales, if any, of shares of our common stock under the sale agreement may be made by any method permitted by law, including without limitation (i) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions (whether or not solicited), (ii) to or through a market maker, (iii) directly on or through any national securities exchange or facility thereof, a trading facility of a national securities association, an alternative trading system, or any other market venue, (iv) in the over-the-counter market, (v) in privately negotiated transactions with our consent, (vi) block transactions or (vii) through a combination of any such method.
Each time we wish to issue and sell shares of our common stock under the sale agreement, we will notify the sales agent of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed the sales agent, unless the sales agent declines to accept the terms of such notice, the sales agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of the sales agent under the sale agreement to sell shares of our common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. We or the sales agent may suspend the offering of shares of our common stock by notifying the other party.
The sale agreement also provides that we may also in the future enter into one or more terms agreements with the sales agent from time to time, on terms mutually satisfactory to us and the sales agent, to the extent we determine to sell shares of our common stock under the sale agreement directly to the sales agent as principal.
The settlement of sales of shares between the sales agent and us is generally anticipated to occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of shares of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the sales agent may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We will pay the sales agent a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of shares of our common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the sales agent for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, under certain circumstances.
We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to the sales agent under the terms of the sale agreement, will be approximately $275,000. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares. The sales agent will provide written confirmation to us before the open on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the day following each day on which shares of our common stock are sold under the sale agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to us.
In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock on our behalf, the sales agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the sales agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the sales agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments the sales agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the sale agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock subject to the sale agreement and (ii) the termination of the sale agreement as permitted therein. The sales agent may terminate the sale agreement at any time upon prior notice. We may terminate the sale agreement at any time upon prior notice.

This summary of the material provisions of the sale agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the sale agreement is filed as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.
The sales agent and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services it may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of its business, the sales agent may actively trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and, accordingly, the sales agent may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.
A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the sales agent, and the sales agent may distribute the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. We urge you to read this entire prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” incorporated by reference. In this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “ImmunityBio,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to ImmunityBio, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
ImmunityBio, Inc.
Our Business
ImmunityBio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that complement, harness, and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. We strive to be a vertically-integrated immunotherapy company designing and manufacturing our products so they are more effective, accessible, more conveniently stored, and more easily administered to patients.
Our broad immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms are designed to attack cancer and infectious pathogens by activating both the innate immune system—natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages—and the adaptive immune system—B cells and T cells—in an orchestrated manner. The goal of this potentially best-in-class approach is to generate immunogenic cell death thereby eliminating rogue cells from the body whether they are cancerous or virally infected and to ultimately establish an “immunological memory” that confers long-term benefit for the patient.
Our business is based on the foundation of multiple platforms that collectively act on the entire immune response with the goal of targeted, durable, coordinated, and safe immunity against disease. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to overcome the limitations of the current standards of care in oncology and infectious disease, such as checkpoint inhibitors and antiretroviral therapies. We have established one of the most comprehensive portfolios of immunotherapy and vaccine platforms, which include:
a01-platform.jpg
-2-

We believe that our innovative approach to orchestrate and combine therapies for optimal immune system response will become a therapeutic foundation across multiple clinical indications. Although such designations may not lead to a faster development process or regulatory review and may not increase the likelihood that a product candidate will receive approval, Anktiva, our novel antibody cytokine fusion protein, has received Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations in combination with BCG from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) CIS. Based on the reported results of the trial, we have initiated discussions with the FDA to file a BLA for Anktiva (to be branded VesAnktiva for intravesical administration) plus BCG for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC CIS. Additionally, we believe that data from multiple clinical trials indicates Anktiva has broad potential to enhance the activity of therapeutic mAbs, including checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., Keytruda®), across a wide range of tumor types.
Our platforms, which include 17 first-in-human therapeutic agents, are being studied in 26 actively recruiting clinical trials—17 of which are in Phase 2 or 3 development—across 13 indications in liquid and solid tumors, including bladder, pancreatic and lung cancers. These are among the most frequent and lethal cancer types for which there are high failure rates for existing standards of care or, in some cases, no available effective treatment. In infectious disease, our pipeline currently targets such pathogens as SARS-CoV-2 and HIV. We believe SARS-CoV-2 currently lacks a vaccine that provides long-term protection against the virus, particularly its variants, while HIV affects tens of millions of people globally and currently has no known cure.
We have established GMP manufacturing capacity at scale with cutting-edge cell manufacturing expertise and ready-to-scale facilities, as well as extensive and seasoned R&D, clinical trial, and regulatory operations, and development teams.
Our Strategy
We seek to become the leading global immunological therapeutics company by creating the next generation of immunotherapies to address serious unmet needs within oncology and infectious diseases. To achieve this goal, the key elements of our strategy include:
advancing the approval and commercialization of our lead antibody cytokine fusion protein, Anktiva, as an integral component of immunotherapy combinations, including those with checkpoint inhibitors;
continuously scrutinizing our clinical pipeline and assessing our strategic priorities to maximize opportunities for regulatory approval and to meet unmet medical needs;
accelerating our immunotherapy platform and product candidates with registrational intent to address difficult-to-treat oncological and infectious disease indications;
continuing to prospect, license, and acquire technologies to complement and strengthen our platforms and product candidates, both as single agent and combination therapies, in order to activate and coordinate the innate and adaptive immune system to generate cellular memory against multiple tumor types and infectious diseases;
optimizing investment in our discovery, development, and manufacturing capabilities for our next-generation targeted antibody cytokine fusion proteins and vaccine candidates, as well as for cell therapies;
advancing our formulations and delivery mechanisms to make our promising biotechnology product candidates available to the broadest population possible; and
cultivating new and expanding existing collaborations for our multi-stage pipeline to efficiently scale globally.

Corporate Information
ImmunityBio, Inc. was established following a series of mergers and name changes. We were incorporated in Illinois on October 7, 2002 under the name ZelleRx Corporation. Our name was later changed to Conkwest, Inc., and we were reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2014. On July 10, 2015, we changed our name to NantKwest, Inc.
NantCell, LLC was originally organized as a Delaware limited liability company in November 2014. In April 2015, it was converted to a Delaware corporation, NantCell, Inc., and in May 2019 changed its name to ImmunityBio, Inc. (a private company).
On December 21, 2020, NantKwest, Inc. and ImmunityBio, Inc. entered into a merger agreement providing for the combination of the two companies, with NantKwest, Inc. being the surviving company which then changed its name to ImmunityBio, Inc. (and ImmunityBio, Inc., a private company, changed its name back to NantCell, Inc. and is now our wholly owned subsidiary). At the time, NantKwest, Inc. was an innovative, clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on harnessing the power of the innate immune system to treat cancer and infectious diseases, and ImmunityBio, Inc. was a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing next-generation therapies that drive immunogenic mechanisms for defeating cancer and infectious diseases, with an immunotherapy platform designed to activate both the innate and adaptive immune systems to create long-term “immunological memory.” We believe that the merger, which closed on March 9, 2021, combined two companies to create a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that complement, harness, and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases.
ImmunityBio is incorporated in Delaware and its principal executive offices are located in San Diego, California.

The Securities We May Offer
We may offer or sell common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants in one or more offerings and in any combination either individually or as units comprised of one or more of the other securities. Each time we offer securities with this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered.
We may sell the securities to or through underwriters, dealers or agents or directly to purchasers or as otherwise set forth below under “Plan of Distribution.” We, as well as any agents acting on our behalf, reserve the sole right to accept and to reject in whole or in part any proposed purchase of securities. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, agents or other entities involved in the sale of securities described in that prospectus supplement and any applicable fee, commission or discount arrangements with them.
Common Stock
We may offer shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, either alone or underlying other registered securities convertible into our common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, subject to rights, if any, of preferred stockholders. Currently, we do not pay a cash dividend. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share. The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights.
-4-

Preferred Stock
We may issue preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more series. Our board of directors or a committee designated by the board will determine the dividend, voting and conversion rights and other provisions of the series of shares of preferred stock at the time of sale. Each series of preferred stock will be more fully described in the particular prospectus supplement that will accompany this prospectus, including redemption provisions, rights in the event of liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our company, voting rights and rights to convert into common stock.
Warrants
We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities. Our board of directors will determine the terms of the warrants.
Debt Securities
We may offer secured or unsecured obligations in the form of one or more series of debt securities, which may be senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations. Any subordinated debt securities generally will be entitled to payment only after payment of our senior debt. Senior debt generally includes all debt for money borrowed by us, except debt that is stated in the instrument governing the terms of that debt to be not senior to, or to have the same rank in right of payment as, or to be expressly junior to, the subordinated debt securities. We may issue debt securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock. Our board of directors will determine the terms of each series of debt securities being offered. The debt securities we may issue will be issued under an indenture, as supplemented by a resolution of our board of directors, an officer’s certificate or a supplemental indenture, between us and a trustee. We have summarized the general features of the debt securities to be governed by the indenture. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We encourage you to read the indenture. Instructions on how you can get copies of this document are provided under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.
Units
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities issued by us as described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit we may issue will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, in addition to carefully considering the other information contained in this prospectus, in any accompanying prospectus supplement and incorporated by reference herein or therein, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 1, 2022 which is incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, updated, supplemented or superseded from time to time by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and the information and documents we incorporate herein and therein by reference, contain, and we may from time to time make, written or oral “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, or the Exchange Act, that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, we caution you that these statements are based on our projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown risks, including business, regulatory, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties, contingencies, assumptions 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 such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus and the risks discussed in our other filings with the SEC.
In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “seek,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” “trajectory” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. The sections in this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors,” the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our most recent report on Form 10-K or “Part II— Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus as well as other disclosures included in this prospectus or the supplement hereto, discuss some of the factors that could contribute to these differences.
-6-

Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. Consequently, actual results or developments anticipated by us may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain market data that we obtained from industry sources, including independent industry publications. In presenting this information, we have also made assumptions based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of, and our experience to date in, the markets for our products. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. While we believe the market data included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in “Part I—Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our most recent report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to us from the sale of our securities under this prospectus. Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds that we will receive from the sale of the securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, funding continued research and development with respect to products and technologies, and clinical and process development and manufacturing of our product candidates. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to license intellectual property or to make acquisitions or investments.
Pending these uses, we may invest our net proceeds from this offering primarily in investment grade short- to intermediate-term corporate debt securities, government-sponsored securities, and foreign government bonds.
The specific allocations of the proceeds we receive from the sale of our securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DIVIDEND POLICY
To date, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the common stock and the preferred stock contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For more detailed information, please refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 920,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which:
900,000,000 shares are designated as common stock; and
20,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.
As of February 24, 2022, we had outstanding 397,911,136 shares of common stock (excluding 163,800 shares held by a majority owned subsidiary of ours which are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes) held of record by approximately 88 stockholders.
In addition, as of December 31, 2021, (i) 10,640,819 shares of our common stock were subject to outstanding awards under our equity incentive plans, of which 4,124,930 shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of options outstanding as of December 31, 2021, at a weighted average exercise price of $15.62 per share, and 6,515,889 shares of common stock were issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and (ii) 1,638,000 shares of our common stock were subject to an outstanding warrant that will become exercisable, at an exercise price of $3.24 per share, if certain performance conditions are satisfied.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Altor, we issued CVRs under which we have agreed to pay the prior stockholders of Altor approximately $304.0 million upon successful approval of the BLA or foreign equivalent for Anktiva by December 31, 2022 and approximately $304.0 million upon the first calendar year prior to December 31, 2026 in which worldwide net sales of Anktiva exceed $1.0 billion (with the payments payable in cash or shares of our common stock or a combination of both). Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, our Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, and his affiliates hold approximately $279.5 million in the aggregate of CVRs and they have both irrevocably agreed to receive shares of common stock in satisfaction of their CVRs. Of the remaining CVRs, $6.8 million will be paid in cash, and the holders of the balance of the CVRs can elect to receive either cash or our common stock for the CVRs.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of our assets which are legally available. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion, redemption or subscription rights and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
No shares of preferred stock are outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized, subject to certain limitations prescribed by law, to designate and issue up to a total of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and fix the designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the shares of each such series, including dividend rights and rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any such series, any or all of which may be greater than or senior to those of the common stock.
-8-

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could harm the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and might harm the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
The actual effect of any such issuance on the rights of the holders of common stock will not be known until our board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock; however, the potential effects of such an issuance include:
diluting the voting power of the holders of common stock;
reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive dividend payments;
reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive payments in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; and
delaying, deterring or preventing a change-in-control or other corporate takeover.
Registration Rights
Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement dated December 23, 2014, or the registration rights agreement, we have provided Cambridge Equities, L.P., or Cambridge, with a right to demand registration of the shares of common stock issued to Cambridge, which was amended as further described below. Dr. Soon-Shiong, our Executive Chairman and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, is the sole member of the general partner of Cambridge. We have also granted to Cambridge “piggyback” registration rights exercisable at any time that allows Cambridge to include the shares of our common stock that they own in any public offering of equity securities initiated by us for our own account or the account of others (other than those public offerings pursuant to registration statements on forms that do not permit registration for resale by them). These “piggyback” registration rights are not available with respect to any shares of our common stock held by Cambridge which are eligible for resale pursuant to certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then- effective registration statement.
Additionally, pursuant to a voting agreement, we agreed and acknowledged that all shares of our common stock issued to certain significant stockholders in connection with our merger with NantCell, Inc. (formerly known as ImmunityBio, Inc., a private company) (and any common stock issued or issuable with respect to such shares of our common stock) shall constitute “Registrable Securities” and “Piggyback Registrable Securities” for purposes of, and be subject to the registration rights under, the registration rights agreement described above. Moreover, we agreed to increase the number of demand registration rights to which Cambridge is entitled to under the registration rights agreement from one to seven.
We have obtained a waiver of these registration rights from Cambridge in connection with the filing of this prospectus.
Nominating Agreement
Under the terms of the Nominating Agreement, dated June 18, 2015, between us and Cambridge, Cambridge has the right to designate one director to be nominated for election to our board of directors for as long as Cambridge and/or its affiliates directly own more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. Dr. Soon-Shiong, who controls the entity that is the general partner of Cambridge and has the sole power to vote or direct to vote and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, was selected by Cambridge to hold this board seat. The Cambridge director nominee shall be nominated and recommended for election by our board of directors or other duly authorized committee, subject to any applicable limitations imposed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, the board of directors’ fiduciary duties to our stockholders and any other applicable law. Cambridge’s right to have a designee nominated or appointed to serve on our board of directors shall automatically terminate wherever Cambridge owns less than 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us, because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our management team, including the following:
Board of directors vacancies. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
Special meetings of stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our president, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting.
Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations. Our amended and restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
No cumulative voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Amendment of charter and bylaw provisions. Any amendment of certain of the provisions described herein in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, as applicable, requires approval by holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of our then outstanding voting securities.
Issuance of undesignated preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult, or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of, a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
-10-

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and our amended and restated bylaws include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our company, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or in another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and our amended and restated bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee as may be required under the DGCL.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. We may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Except as set forth in our periodic reports as incorporated herein by reference, there is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents for which indemnification is sought.
Exclusive forum. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. The transfer agent’s address is 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219, and its telephone number is (800) 937-5449.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the supplement to what extent the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to a particular series of debt securities.
We may issue debt securities either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. Debt securities may be senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and, unless otherwise specified in a supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series.

Transfer and Exchange
Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act (the “Depositary”) or a nominee of the Depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.
Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.
You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.
Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System. Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary.
Covenants
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.
No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person (a “successor person”) unless:
we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and
immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.
Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.
-14-

Events of Default
“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);
default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity;
default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee, or we and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;
certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us; and
any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an Event of Default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries that could be outstanding from time to time.
We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.
If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.
-15-

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and
the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.
The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall send to each holder of the securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.
Modification and Waiver
We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:
to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets;”
to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;
to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;
to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;
to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;
to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;
to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;
to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;
to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.
-16-

We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;
reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;
reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;
make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or
waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security.
Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.
Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.
-17-

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.
Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:
we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and
any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”).
The conditions include:
depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities;
such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the indenture or any other agreement to which we are a party;
no default or event of default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities shall have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit; and
delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders
None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
-18-

Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS
We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities or any combination thereof. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. This summary of some provisions of the warrants is not complete. For the terms of a particular series of warrants, you should refer to the prospectus supplement for that series of warrants and the warrant agreement for that particular series.
The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:
the title and aggregate number of such warrants;
the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares and the price at which such number of shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
the designation, stated value and terms (including, without limitation, liquidation, dividend, conversion and voting rights) of the series of preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of warrants to purchase preferred stock;
the principal amount of debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of a debt warrant and the exercise price for the warrants, which may be payable in cash, securities or other property;
the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
United States Federal income tax consequences applicable to the warrants; and
any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.
Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled:
to vote, consent or receive dividends;
receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or
exercise any rights as stockholders.
Debt warrant certificates may be exchangeable for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations. Debt warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. Prior to the exercise of their debt warrants, holders of debt warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities purchasable upon exercise and will not be entitled to payment of principal or any premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities purchasable upon exercise.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units consisting of one or more of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants.
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of units will describe the terms of such units, including the following:
the terms of the units and of any of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;
a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;
a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units; and
if applicable, a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, direct sales to the public, “at the market” offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the offered securities from time to time:
through underwriters or dealers;
through agents;
directly to one or more purchasers; or
through a combination of any of these methods of sale.
We may distribute the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions: (i) at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time; (ii) at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; (iii) at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or (iv) at negotiated prices.
Each time we offer and securities covered by this prospectus, we will make available a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the specific plan of distribution and set forth the terms of the offering, including: (i) the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers, the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them and their compensation, (ii) if a fixed price offering, the public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us; (iii) any options under which underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers may purchase additional securities from us; (iv) any underwriting discounts or commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation; (v) terms and conditions of the offering; (vi) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and (vii) any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
-21-

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any option to purchase additional shares or other option. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we, or an underwriter, 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. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.
We may sell 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 payable to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may provide agents, dealers and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or dealers or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents, dealers and underwriters or their affiliates may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
All securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any underwriter may be granted an option to purchase additional shares, and engage in stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. An underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
Any underwriters or dealers or agents that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Global Select Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
