1,051,677 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling
stockholders named in this prospectus from time to time of up to an aggregate of 1,051,677 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon (i) the conversion of shares of our newly designated Series G convertible
preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares”), and (ii) exercise of certain warrants (the “Warrants”). The Preferred
Shares were acquired by the applicable selling stockholders under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”),
dated January 14, 2025, by and among the Company and the investors party thereto (the “Investors”). The Warrants were
acquired by the selling stockholders under the Purchase Agreement. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred
Shares are herein referred to as “Conversion Shares,” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
are herein referred to as “Warrant Shares.”
The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares were
issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
We are registering the resale of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares covered by this prospectus as required by (i) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 14,
2025, by and among the Company and the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The selling stockholders will receive
all of the proceeds from any sales of the shares offered hereby. We will not receive any of the proceeds, but we will incur expenses in
connection with the offering. To the extent the Warrants are exercised for cash, if at all, we will receive the exercise price of the
Warrants. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.
Our registration of the shares of Common Stock
covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of such shares of Common Stock. The selling
stockholders named in this prospectus, or their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, may resell the shares of
Common Stock covered by this prospectus through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing
market prices or at privately negotiated prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the selling
stockholders, you should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
Any shares of Common Stock subject to resale hereunder
will have been issued by us and acquired by the selling stockholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.
No underwriter or other person has been engaged
to facilitate the sale of the Common Stock in this offering. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration
of the Common Stock. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales
of the Common Stock.

registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in their entirety before investing in our securities, including the information

refer to XWELL, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
XWELL is a global wellness company operating multiple
brands and focused on bringing restorative, regenerative and reinvigorating products and services to travelers. XWELL currently has four
reportable operating segments: XpresSpa®, XpresTest®, Naples Wax Center and Treat™.
On October 25, 2022, we changed our name
to XWELL, Inc. (“XWELL” or the “Company”) from XpresSpa Group, Inc. Our Common Stock which had previously
been listed under the trading symbol “XSPA” on the Nasdaq Capital Market, now trades under the trading symbol “XWEL”.
We filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on October 24, 2022 (the “Amended
and Restated Certificate”) reflecting the name change. Rebranding to XWELL aligned our corporate strategy to build a pure-play wellness
services company, in both the airport and off airport marketplaces.
Although we recognize four segments of business,
we believe there is opportunity to leverage a segment of our products and services across the Company’s platform of brands. Additionally,
we are expanding our retail strategy, not only adding more products for sale but aligning those products more efficiently to our service
offerings. This product strategy includes, for example, adding muscle relaxation patches to a neck or back massage to continue treatment
after the delivery of the service. We are also continuing to add new service offerings to our in and out of airport locations.
We also plan to build our capability for delivering
health and wellness services outside of the airport. We believe operating outside of the airport complements our offering and represents
the fastest way to scale the XWELL family of brands.
We will be looking to further expand internationally.
With international travel returning to pre-pandemic levels, we continue to be opportunistic in our approach, by taking advantage of the
current market to growth. We believe a strategy for international expansion further advances our ability to expand our other brands including
bio surveillance outside of the United States.
XpresSpa
XWELL’s subsidiary, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC
(“XpresSpa”) has been a global airport retailer of spa services through our XpresSpa spa locations, offering travelers premium
spa services, including massage, nail and skin care, as well as spa and travel products.
As of September 30, 2024, there were 19 domestic
XpresSpa locations in total, 17 Company-owned locations and two franchises. We also had 10 international locations operating as of September 30,
2024, including two XpresSpa locations in Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates, one XpresSpa location in Zayad International
Airport in Abu Dhabi, UAE, three XpresSpa locations in Schiphol Amsterdam Airport in the Netherlands and four XpresSpa locations in the
Istanbul Airport in Turkey.
XpresTest
We, in partnership with certain COVID-19 testing
partners, successfully launched its XpresCheck Wellness Centers, in June of 2020, through our XpresTest, Inc. subsidiary (“XpresTest”),
which offered COVID-19 and other medical diagnostic testing services to the traveling public, as well as airline, airport and concessionaire
employees, and TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents during the pandemic. During 2022 and 2023, as countries continued to
relax their testing requirements resulting in rapid decline of testing volumes at the Company’s XpresCheck Wellness locations, the
Company started to close XpresCheck Wellness Centers. As of December 31, 2023, we have closed all XpresCheck Wellness locations.
XpresTest began conducting bio surveillance monitoring
with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with Concentric by Ginkgo BioWorks in 2021 and on January 31,
2022, we announced the extension of our initial program, bringing the total contract to $5.5 million. In August 2022, the program
was renewed in partnership with Ginkgo BioWorks. A new two-year contract was initiated which represents approximately $7.3 million in
revenue (for the first year) for the XpresTest segment.
The program was further renewed in August 2023
through a new one-year contract. The revenue to XpresTest from such one-year extension totaled approximately $7 million. In March 2024,
the program funding and scope were expanded, a revenue increase of $4 million, to an estimated $11 million in revenue for XpresTest with
a new collection station located in Miami International Airport (MIA) and the roll out of multi-pathogen testing across the program. The
program was further renewed in August 2024.
HyperPointe
XWELL’s subsidiary, gcg Connect, LLC, operating
as HyperPointe, provides direct to business marketing support across a number of health and health-related channels. From the creation
of marketing campaigns for the pharmaceutical industry, to learning management systems to website and health related content creation,
HyperPointe is a complementary service provider to our health-focused brands as well as providing the majority of services to the external
community.
For reporting purposes, HyperPointe has been consolidated
into the XpresTest segment.
Treat
Treat, which is operating through our subsidiary
Treat, Inc. (“Treat”) is a wellness brand that provides access to wellness services for travelers at on-site centers
(currently located in JFK International Airport). In April 2024, the decision was made to close the location in the Salt Lake City
International Airport.
Treat offers a full retail product offering and
a suite of wellness and spa services. Travelers can purchase time blocks to use our wellness rooms to engage in interactive services like
self-guided yoga, meditation, and low impact weight exercises or to relax and unplug from the hectic pace of the airport and renew themselves
before or after their trip.
Naples Wax Center
On September 12, 2023, we acquired our subsidiary
Naples Wax, LLC d/b/a Naples Wax Centers (“Naples Wax Centers” or “Naples Wax”), a group of upscale hair removal
boutiques in Florida, for a purchase price of approximately $1.6 million. Aiming to provide a memorable customer experience, Naples Wax
Center operates three high-performing locations with core products and service offerings from face and body waxing to a range of skincare
and cosmetic products. The acquisition of Naples Wax Center is intended to enable us to move beyond our airport client base with a business
that can be adapted to a larger wellness platform while also growing our retail footprint to serve our long-term financial goals.
XWELL Studios
In Q4 of 2023, we began plans to open our first
XWELL Studios location in Jacksonville, Florida in 2025. XWELL Studios is an out-of-airport concept providing leased space to established
wellness service providers. Revenue will be derived from both lease payments received from the wellness practitioners and the sale of
retail at the wellness center.
We believe that these strategic imperatives will
be accomplished through development of an infrastructure specifically focused on enabling scalable and efficient growth.
Private Placement of Preferred Shares and Warrants
On January 14, 2025, we entered into the
Purchase Agreement with the Investors, pursuant to which we issued and sold on January 14, 2025 (the “Closing Date”),
in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), (i) an aggregate of 4,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock initially convertible into up to 2,673,797 Conversion Shares at a conversion price of $1.496
per share, (ii) Series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,673,797 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.496 per share, and (iii) Series B warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 2,673,797
shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”)
at an exercise price of $1.7952 per share. Each Preferred Share and accompanying Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price
of $1,000.
The terms of the Preferred Shares are as set forth
in the Certificate of Designations of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock of XWELL, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”),
which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 14, 2025. The Warrants are immediately
exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance.
The Private Placement is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state
laws. Each of the investors in the Private Placement has represented to us that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D and that it is acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with,
the public sale or distribution thereof. The Preferred Shares and Warrants were offered without any general solicitation by us or our
representatives.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the Private Placement, we entered
into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we are obligated, among other things, to (i) file a resale registration
statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, (ii) have such Registration
Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and (iii) maintain
the registration until the earlier of (x) the date on which the selling stockholders may sell their Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (y) the date on which the selling stockholders no
longer hold any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares and (z) the five year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company will be obligated
to pay certain liquidated damages to the Investors if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to cause
the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Preferred Shares
All shares of capital stock of the Company rank
junior to the Preferred Shares, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company.
The Preferred Shares are convertible into Common
Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.496 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion
Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like. The Conversion
Price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time
with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, subject to the rules and
regulations of Nasdaq.
We are required to redeem the Preferred Shares
in six (6) equal quarterly installments, commencing on February 1, 2025. The amortization payments due upon such redemption
are payable, at the Company’s election, in cash at 107% of the applicable Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate
of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then
in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock
during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately prior to the date the amortization payment
is due or (B) the lower of (x) $0.272 and (y) 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market
Rule 5635) on the date in which the Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) is obtained or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted,
from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar events, which amortization amounts are subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Certificate
of Designations (the “Floor Price”).
The
holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 8% per annum, compounded each calendar quarter, which are payable in arrears
monthly in cash or shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) including,
among other things, our failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Preferred Shares when due, the Preferred Shares accrue dividends
at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend
make-whole payment, assuming, for calculation purposes, that the stated value of such Preferred Shares remained outstanding through and
including the one-year anniversary of the applicable date of conversion. The holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to vote with
holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Preferred Shares is entitled to
be calculated assuming a conversion price of $1.36 per share, which was the Minimum Price (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Rules of
the Nasdaq Stock Market) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial
ownership limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, our ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is
subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued
until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “Stockholder Approval”). We have agreed to seek stockholder approval
of these matters at a meeting to be held no later than June 1, 2025. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain
beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under the Certificate of Designations.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, our ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is
subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued
until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock
in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “Stockholder Approval”). We have agreed to seek stockholder approval of these
matters at a meeting to be held no later than June 1, 2025. Further, the Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial
ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or
as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under the Certificate of Designations.
Warrants
The Warrants are exercisable for shares of Common
Stock immediately, at an exercise price of $1.496 per share for the Series A Warrants and at an exercise price of $1.7952 per share
for the Series B Warrants and expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of each Warrant is subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like. Upon any such price-based adjustment
to the exercise price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. The exercise
price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time with the prior written consent of the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding Warrants, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The Warrants may be exercised
for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrants
may be exercised on a cashless basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time
as we have received the Stockholder Approval, we cannot issue any Warrant Shares if the issuance of such Warrant Shares (taken together
with the issuance of any Conversion Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations)
would exceed 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Private Placement, which amount is the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which we may issue under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq.
2023 Reverse Stock Split
On September 28, 2023, we effected a 1-for-20
reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), whereby every twenty shares of our Common Stock were reduced to one share
of our Common Stock and the price per share of our Common Stock was multiplied by 20. All references to shares and per share amounts,
including shares of Common Stock underlying stock options, warrants, and applicable exercise prices, have been retroactively adjusted
for all periods presented herein to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split as required in accordance with US GAAP.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company”
and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders
may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Delaware as a corporation
on January 9, 2006 and completed an initial public offering in June 2010. Our Common Stock which was previously listed since
January 8, 2018 under the trading symbol “XSPA” on The Nasdaq Capital Market, has been listed under the trading symbol
“XWEL” since October 25, 2022. Our principal executive offices are located at 254 West 31st Street, 11th Floor, New York,
New York 10001. Our telephone number is (212) 750-9595 and our website address is www.xwell.com. We also operate the websites www.xpresspa.com,
www.treat.com and www.xprescheck.com. Through our website, we will make available, free of charge, our annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable
after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Information contained
on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not and shall not be deemed to be a part of this prospectus.
The
Offering
Common Stock to be Offered by the Selling Stockholders |
|
Up to an aggregate of 1,051,677 shares of Common
Stock, which are issuable to such selling stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares and Warrants. This amount is approximately
equal to 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Private Placement, which amount is the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which we may currently issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of Warrants under the
rules or regulations of Nasdaq prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval.
The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
require us to register the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Preferred Shares are convertible at the
Floor Price, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set
forth in the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
issued to the Investors (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Warrants set forth therein), in each case
subject to the adjustments set forth in the Certificate of Designations and Warrants.
If we obtain the Stockholder Approval, we intend
to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to increase the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereunder
to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements. |
|
|
|
Use of Proceeds |
|
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if such warrants are exercised for cash. We currently intend to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes. |
Plan of Distribution |
|
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus,
or their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors-in-interest, may offer or sell the shares of Common
Stock from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices
or at privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may also resell the shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings
with the SEC, before making a decision about investing in our securities. The risks and uncertainties discussed below and in the documents
incorporated by reference are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently
see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could
be harmed, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common
Stock
The issuance of the shares of Common Stock
covered by this prospectus could significantly increase the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and thereby
cause our existing stockholders to experience substantial dilution.
The shares of Common Stock being offered pursuant
to this prospectus represent Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of our Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants. As of February 7, 2025 there were 5,261,024 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (prior to any
deemed issuance of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares). If we are required to issue the maximum number of Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares that are being registered hereunder, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after such issuance would represent
approximately 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. As a result, an existing
stockholder’s proportionate interest in us will be substantially diluted. The actual number of shares of Common Stock that we issue
to the selling stockholders may be less than the aggregate number of shares covered by this prospectus.
The Certificate of Designations provides
for amortization payments to be issued in the form of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price that varies with the trading price
of our Common Stock. This feature may result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon conversions than if the conversions
were effected at the conversion price in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Sales of these shares will dilute the interests of
other security holders and may depress the price of our Common Stock and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
The Certificate of Designations for our Preferred
Shares provides for the payment of amortization payments to the holder of our Preferred Shares in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a
combination thereof, at the Company’s option. If the Company elects to pay any dividends in shares of Common Stock, the conversion
price used to calculate the number of shares issuable will equal to the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing
prices of our Common Stock during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately prior to
the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of (x) $0.272 and (y) 20% of the Minimum Price on the Stockholder
Approval Date or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market. The potential for such
additional issuances below the Conversion Price as of the date of this prospectus may depress the price of our Common Stock regardless
of our business performance. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of our Preferred Shares is outstanding.
The Certificate of Designations provides
for the payment of dividends in cash or in shares of our Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and we may not be permitted to pay such
dividends in cash, which will require us to have shares of Common Stock available to pay the dividends.
Each share of the Preferred Shares is entitled
to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 8% per annum of the stated value per share, compounded each calendar quarter.
The dividends are payable in cash, out of any funds legally available for such purpose, or shares of Common Stock in the case of an Installment
Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). We will not be permitted to pay the amortization in cash unless we are legally
permitted to do so under Delaware law. As such, we may rely on having available shares of Common Stock to pay such amortization, which
will result in dilution to our shareholders. If we do not have such available shares, we may not be able to satisfy our amortization obligations.
Substantial future sales or other issuances
of our Common Stock could depress the market for our Common Stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our
Common Stock and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market, including the issuance of shares
or any shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, or the perception by the market that those
sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline or could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through
the sale of equity and equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, or at all. In
addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance
of debt securities, preferred stock or Common Stock, which could also depress the market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect,
if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of
our Common Stock.
You may experience future dilution as a
result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our securities.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in
the future offer additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock prices that
may not be the same as the price per share paid by the investors in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities
in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investors in this offering,
and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share
at which we sell additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock in future transactions may be
higher or lower than the price per share paid to the selling stockholders. Our stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding
stock options, warrants or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock under our stock incentive programs.
Any additional capital raised through the sale
of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in
the market value of our equity securities.
The terms of any securities issued by us in future
capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants
or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.
In addition, we may incur substantial costs in
pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing
and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities
we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.
Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus and the information incorporated
by reference in this prospectus contain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events,
future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Our use of the words “may,”
“will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,”
“potential,” “expects,” “plans,” “seeks,” “intends,” “evaluates,”
“pursues,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “designs,” “impacts,” “forecasts,”
“target,” “outlook,” “initiative,” “objective,” “designed,” “priorities,”
“goal” or the negative of those words or other similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that
represent our current judgment about possible future events. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance
or results and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. All statements included
or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and in related comments by our management, other than statements of historical facts,
including without limitation, statements about future events or financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain
risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on certain assumptions
and analyses made in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments
as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. While these statements represent our judgment on what the
future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results.
Whether actual future results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated
by reference under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere
in those documents.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements
made in this prospectus as well as all of the forward-looking statements incorporated by reference to our filings under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance
that the actual results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or, even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences
to or effects on us and our subsidiaries or our businesses or operations. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or other such factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required
to do so by law.
Use
of Proceeds
All shares of our Common Stock offered by this
prospectus are being registered for the accounts of the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these
shares. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those
proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes. The holders of the Warrants are not obligated to exercise their Warrants for cash, and
we cannot predict whether holders of the Warrants will choose to exercise all or any of their Warrants for cash.
Selling
Stockholders
Unless the context otherwise requires, as used
in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed below and donees, pledgees, transferees
or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge
or other non-sale related transfer.
We have prepared this prospectus to allow the
selling stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time,
up to 1,051,677 shares of our Common Stock.
The Common Stock being offered by the selling
stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants. For
additional information regarding the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, see “Private Placement of Preferred Shares
and Warrants” above. We are registering the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in order to permit the selling stockholders to
offer the shares for resale from time to time. The selling stockholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion
of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or pursuant to another effective registration
statement covering those shares.
Relationships with the Selling Stockholders
Except for the ownership of the Preferred Shares
and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, except as disclosed in our periodic reports and current reports filed
with the SEC from time to time, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
Information About Selling Stockholders Offering
The table below lists the selling stockholders
and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder) of the shares of Common Stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column (titled “Number
of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering”) lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling
stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Shares and Warrants as of February 7, 2025,
assuming conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants and any other warrants held by each such selling stockholder
on that date, but taking account of any limitations on conversion and exercise set forth therein.
The third column (titled “Maximum Number
of Shares of Common Stock to be Sold Pursuant to this Prospectus”) lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus
by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth therein
or (ii) exercise of the Warrants set forth therein.
The third, fourth and fifth columns (titled “Number
of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering” and “Percentage of Common Stock Owned After Offering”) assume the conversion
of the Preferred Shares at the Conversion Price and exercise of the Warrants at the exercise price and the sale of all of the shares offered
by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Because the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares and the exercise price of
the Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered
by this prospectus.
This prospectus covers the resale of approximately
19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Private Placement, which amount is the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which we may currently issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of Warrants under the
rules or regulations of Nasdaq prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval.
The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
require us to register the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Preferred Shares are convertible at the
Floor Price, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set
forth in the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
issued to the Investors (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Warrants set forth therein), in each case
subject to the adjustments set forth in the Certificate of Designations and Warrants.
If we obtain the Stockholder Approval, we intend
to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to increase the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereunder
to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements.
Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations
and the Warrants, a selling stockholder, may not convert the Preferred Shares or exercise the Warrants to the extent (but only to the
extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our shares of Common Stock which
would exceed 4.99%, of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The
selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Plan
of Distribution
We are registering the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by
the holders of the Preferred Shares and Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock, although we will receive the exercise price of any Warrants not
exercised by the selling stockholders on a cashless exercise basis. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register
the shares of Common Stock.
Each selling stockholder of the securities and
any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them and offered
hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold
through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s
commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time
of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which
may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
· |
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
|
|
· |
in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
· |
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
· |
through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
· |
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
· |
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
· |
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
· |
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
· |
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
· |
short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
|
|
· |
broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
· |
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
· |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law |
The selling stockholders may also sell securities
under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer
the securities by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling securities
to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form
of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they
may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the securities or otherwise,
the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities
in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver securities covered
by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders
may also loan or pledge securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations,
the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this
prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling
stockholders also may transfer and donate the securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the securities
may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or
concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At
the time a particular offering of securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth
the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions
allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the
securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities
may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification
is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder
will sell any or all of the securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person
participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of securities by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation
M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with
respect to such securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity
to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
We will pay all expenses of the registration
of the securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, estimated to be $ 42,193 in total, including, without limitation,
SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling
stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against
liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreements or the
selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling
stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be
entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of
which this prospectus forms a part, the securities will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Law (“DCGL”) allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty,
failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved
a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DCGL provides that a corporation
has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request
of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which
he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation,
no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently,
our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors,
except liability for:
| • | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
| • | any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; |
| • | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174
of the DGCL; or |
| • | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and amended and restated bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. The amended and restated bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director
or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer,
director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would
otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law.
We have entered and expect to continue to enter
into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. With specified
exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact
that they are or were our agents. We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended
and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. We also maintain
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. This description of the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions
of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements is qualified in its
entirety by reference to these documents.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus
required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee”
table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that:
Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and
(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means
of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining
liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant
is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):
(A) Each prospectus filed by the
registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating
to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section
10 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an
underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(ii) If the registrant is subject
to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering,
other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however
, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as
to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
(5) That, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Baltimore, State of Maryland, on February 7, 2025.

Exhibit 5.1
February 7, 2025
XWELL, Inc.
254 West 31st Street, 11th Floor
New York, New York 10001
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for
XWELL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) by the Company which registers
the resale by the holders thereof of 1,051,677 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”) issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Company’s newly designated Series G convertible preferred stock
(the “Preferred Shares”) and shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants (the “Warrants”),
herein collectively as the “Securities.”
In rendering the
opinions expressed herein, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as of the date hereof
(“Company Charter Documents”); (ii) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto; (iii) Certificate of
Designations of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock of XWELL, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”), (iv) the
Warrants; (v) a specimen of the Company’s Common Stock certificate; (vi) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company,
dated as of the date hereof, and (vii) such other corporate records of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for
purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.
As to questions of fact material
to the opinions expressed below, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deemed reasonably
appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such documents, records, certificates, instruments or
representations furnished or made available to us by the Company.
In making the foregoing examinations,
we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iv) that all agreements or instruments
we have examined are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto, and (v) that all factual information on which
we have relied was accurate and complete.
We have also assumed that
(i) the Company will continue to be incorporated and in existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) the Registration
Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective; (iii) no stop order of the Commission
preventing or suspending the use of the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus supplement will have been
issued; (iv) a prospectus properly describing the Securities offered thereby will have been delivered to the purchaser(s) of the Securities
as required in accordance with applicable law; (v) all Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement; (vi)
any definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly
executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto and will be an enforceable obligation of the parties thereto; (vii)
upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company Charter
Documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance; and (viii) there will not have occurred any change in law or in the Company Charter
Documents of the Company adversely affecting the Securities or the rights of the holders thereof.
Based upon the foregoing and
subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms
of the Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) the Common Stock underlying the Warrants,
when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions expressed herein
are limited exclusively to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and applicable provisions
of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL and such provisions of the Delaware Constitution and
we have not considered, and express no opinion on, any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing
of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal
Matters” in the prospectus constituting part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that
we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
