SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events or to our future operating or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions (including their use in the negative) intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. As such, our actual results may differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, in the “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended subsequent to our filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC.

 

Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable statement. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, together with the documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing documents by these cautionary statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights certain information about us, the Private Placement and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. For a more complete understanding of our company, you should read and consider carefully the more detailed information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 4 of this prospectus, as well as the information incorporated herein by reference, before making an investment decision.

 

Overview

 

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication (“ACI”) and substance addiction. Our lead product candidate, ANEB-001, is intended to rapidly reverse the negative effects of ACI within one hour of administration. The signs and symptoms of ACI range from profound sedation to anxiety and panic to psychosis with hallucinations. There is no approved medical treatment currently available to specifically alleviate the symptoms of ACI. If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), we believe ANEB-001 has the potential to be the first FDA approved treatment of its kind on the market for reversing the effects of THC, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. Clinical trials completed to date have shown that ANEB-001 is rapidly absorbed, well tolerated and when administered to obese subjects leads to weight loss, an effect that is consistent with central CB1 antagonism. We initiated a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial in the Netherlands in December 2021. We received initial topline data from Part A of the study on June 29, 2022 and announced the results on July 5, 2022.

 

ACI episodes have become a widespread health issue in the United States, particularly in the increasing number of states that have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational use. The ingestion of large quantities of THC is a major cause of ACI. Excessive ingestion of THC via edible products such as candies and brownies, and intoxication from synthetic cannabinoids (also known as “synthetics,” “K2” or “spice”), are two leading causes of THC-related emergency room visits. Synthetic cannabinoids are analogous to fentanyl for opioids insofar as they are more potent at the cannabinoid receptor than their natural product congener THC. In recent years, hospital emergency rooms across the United States have seen a dramatic increase in patient visits with cannabis-related conditions. Before the legalization of cannabis, an estimated 450,000 patients visited hospital emergency rooms annually for cannabis-related conditions. In 2014, this number more than doubled to an estimated 1.1 million patients, according to data published in “Trends and Related Factors of Cannabis-Associated Emergency Department Visits in the United States: 2006-2014,” Journal of Addiction Medicine (May/June 2019), which provided a national estimate analyzing data from The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (“NEDS”), the largest database of U.S. hospital-owned emergency department visits. Based on our own analysis of the most recent NEDS data, we believe that the number of hospitalizations grew to 1.74 million patients in 2018 and was growing at an approximately 15% compounded annual growth rate between 2012 and 2018. We believe the number of cannabis-related hospitalizations and other health problems associated with ACIs such as depression, anxiety and mental disorders will continue to increase substantially as more states pass laws legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use. Given the consequences, there is an urgent need for a treatment to rapidly reverse the symptoms of ACI.

 

Our objective is to develop new treatment options for patients suffering from ACI and substance addiction. Our lead product candidate is ANEB-001, a potent, small molecule cannabinoid receptor antagonist, to address the unmet medical need for a specific antidote for ACI. ANEB-001 is an orally bioavailable, rapidly absorbed treatment that we anticipate will reverse the symptoms of ACI, in most cases within 1 hour of administration. Our proprietary position in the treatment of ACI is protected by rights to two patent applications covering various methods of use of the compound and delivery systems.

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in April 2020. Our principal executive offices are located at 1415 Ranch Road 620 South, Suite 201, Lakeway, Texas 78734, and our telephone number is 512-598-0931. Our corporate website address is www.anebulo.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of our website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only.

 

Private Placement

 

On September 25, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, pursuant to which we sold and issued to the selling stockholders 2,264,650 units (collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.6 million (or $2.935 per Unit). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on September 28, 2022. Each warrant has an exercise price of $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of our common stock, and has a five-year term. The warrants contain beneficial ownership limitations which prevent the holder from exercising the warrant if immediately following such exercise the holder would beneficially own shares of our common stock in excess of the stated beneficial ownership limitation.

 

22NW Fund, LP, a fund affiliated with Aron R. English, a director of the Company and the second largest beneficial owner of common stock, participated in the Private Placement and purchased 1,703,577 Units at the per Unit purchase price, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC on or before November 2, 2022 to register the resale of the shares of our common stock issued under the Purchase Agreement, and the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement, and to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the date which is five days after the receipt of a notification of no-review in the event of no review by the SEC, or 90 days after the filing thereof in the event of a review by the SEC.

 

Implications of Being and Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

  ● an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
  ● an exemption from implementation of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would apply to private companies and from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation;
  ● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation arrangements; and
  ● no requirement to seek nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We may take advantage of some or all these provisions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of (1) (a) June 30, 2026, which is the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion or (c) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31st, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

Finally, we are a “smaller reporting company” (and may continue to qualify as such even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company) and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure. 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.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, which is incorporated herein by reference, as well any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including any applicable prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Upon any exercise of any of the warrants, the applicable selling stockholder would pay us the exercise price set forth in the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of our common stock. We expect to use any such proceeds to advance the development of ANEB-001 and for other general corporate purposes.

 

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, the selling stockholders will bear underwriting discounts, commissions, placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of shares of our common stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the selling stockholders, and those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and warrants, see “Prospectus Summary—Private Placement” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of September 30, 2022, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date.

 

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

 

This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its Attribution Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%, 9.99% or 12,000,000 shares, as applicable, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The percentage of shares owned prior to and after the offering in the second and fourth columns is based on 25,633,217 shares of our common stock outstanding on September 30, 2022. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Board of Directors and Executive Officers

 

22NW Fund, LP is an affiliate of Aron R. English, a member of our board of directors since June 2020. In addition, Nat Calloway, a member of our board of directors since October 2022, is an employee of 22NW Fund, LP.

 

ADAR1 Partners, LP is an affiliate of Daniel Schneeberger, who served as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors from to July 2020 to February 2022.

 

June 2020 Private Placement

 

On June 18, 2020, we received gross proceeds of $3,000,000 from a private placement of our series A preferred stock (the “2020 Private Placement”), convertible into 2,047,500 shares of our common stock, pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement (the “2020 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with 22NW Fund, LP, an institutional accredited investor affiliated with Aron R. English, who became a director of our Company at such time. The series A preferred stock converted into shares of our common stock, on a one-to-one basis, automatically upon the closing of our initial public offering.

 

As part of the 2020 Private Placement, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English, individually, further agreed under the 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase, upon the achievement of certain corporate events, milestone warrants for $2,250,000 in the aggregate. The milestone warrants were exercisable for cash for up to 6,896,406 shares of series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share or on a “net-exercise” basis into such lesser number of shares of series A preferred stock by surrendering a portion of the underlying warrant shares, based on the positive difference between the stated milestone warrant exercise price and the initial public offering price per share, to pay the exercise price. The 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the milestone warrants must be purchased upon our achievement of (i) a filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an investigational new drug application or the making of an analogous regulatory filing in any foreign jurisdiction, whichever occurred earlier, and (ii) an arrangement by us to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient of ANEB-001, the Company’s lead product candidate, in amounts sufficient to facilitate the consummation of a trial pursuant to such regulatory filing, or otherwise forfeited. On March 8, 2021, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English purchased the milestone warrants for $2,250,000 in cash following acceptance of an open European clinical trial application in the Netherlands, permitting us to utilize ANEB-001 on human subjects in a Phase 2 clinical trial, and exercised the milestone warrants on a net-exercise basis into 5,236,343 shares of common stock in connection with the closing of our initial public offering.

As part of the 2020 Private Placement, we entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with 22NW Fund, LP. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, all rights under the Investors’ Rights Agreement terminated, except for the registration rights set forth therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, if we register any of our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, 22NW Fund, LP is entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing it to include its registrable securities in such registration, subject to specified conditions and limitations. The registration rights granted under the Investors’ Rights Agreement will terminate with respect to the registrable securities upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a “Deemed Liquidation Event” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation), (ii) such time after the closing of our initial public offering as Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of 22NW Fund, LP’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration and (iii) the third anniversary of our initial public offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling such securities:

 

  ● 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;
     
  ● settlement of short sales;
     
  ● in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  ● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  ● a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  ● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell the securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) September 28, 2024 and (ii) the date all of the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement held by the selling stockholders may be sold under Rule 144 without being subject to any volume, manner of sale or publicly available information requirements. The securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities covered hereby may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

 

  ● transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;
     
  ● act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
     
  ● unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or
     
  ● breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

 

II-1

 

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

 

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’, witness or other professional fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiring, administrative hearing or other actual, threatened or completed proceeding (including derivative actions) to which any such person is, was or may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of us or of any other entity or enterprise that such person was serving at the express written consent of us. Under these agreements, we are not required to provide indemnification for certain matters, including:

 

  ● indemnification beyond that permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law;
     
  ● indemnification for certain proceedings for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such director or officer under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision;
     
  ● indemnification for certain proceedings for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by such director or officer of our securities within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
     
  ● indemnification for proceedings brought by an officer or director against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) our board of directors authorized the proceeding (or any part of any proceeding) prior to its initiation, or (ii) we provide the indemnification in our sole discretion pursuant to the powers vested in us under applicable law

 

The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

We have an insurance policy in place that covers our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or otherwise.

 

We may enter into one or more underwriting agreements which provides that the underwriters are obligated, under some circumstances, to indemnify our directors, officers and controlling persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

On June 18, 2020, we received gross proceeds of $3.0 million from a private placement of our series A preferred stock (the “2020 Private Placement”), convertible into 2,047,500 shares of our common stock, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2020 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with 22NW Fund, LP, an institutional accredited investor affiliated with Aron R. English, a director of our company. As part of the 2020 Private Placement, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English, individually, further agreed under the 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase, upon the achievement of certain corporate events, “milestone” warrants for $2,250,000 in the aggregate. The milestone warrants were exercisable for cash for up to 6,896,406 shares of series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share or on a “net exercise” basis into such lesser number of shares of series A preferred stock by surrendering a portion of the underlying warrant shares, based on the positive difference between the stated milestone warrant exercise price and the initial public offering price per share in this offering, to pay the exercise price. On March 8, 2021, following the achievement of the applicable milestones, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English purchased the milestone warrants for $2,250,000 in cash. On May 11, 2021, in connection with the closing of our initial public offering, and following a six-for-one stock split effected by the Registrant on April 23, 2021, the milestone warrants were exercised on a net-exercise basis into 5,236,343 shares of our series A preferred stock and all of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock were converted into 7,283,843 shares of common stock.

 

On September 25, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2022 Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we sold and issued to such investors 2,264,650 units (collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.6 million (or $2.935 per Unit), in a private placement transaction (the “2022 Private Placement”). The closing of the 2022 Private Placement occurred on September 28, 2022. Each warrant has an exercise price of $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of our common stock, and has a five-year term. The warrants contain beneficial ownership limitations which prevent the holder from exercising the warrant if immediately following such exercise the holder would beneficially own shares of our common stock in excess of the stated beneficial ownership limitation. 22NW Fund, LP, a fund affiliated with Mr. English, a director of our company and the second largest beneficial owner of common stock, participated in the 2022 Private Placement and purchased 1,703,577 Units at the per Unit purchase price, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to the 2022 Securities Purchase Agreement are being registered pursuant to this registration statement.

 

The sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described above were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i) 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
     
  (ii) 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 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.

 

(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in 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.
   
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
