Company Overview
We
are a biopharmaceutical company working to launch the first ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab approved by the European Commission
in the European Union, or EU, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, in the United Kingdom, or UK, and the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use in retinal indications. Our initial goal is to launch directly in the EU and UK, and,
if approved, to launch directly in the United States as the first and only approved ophthalmic bevacizumab for the treatment of retina
conditions, including wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD. Our plans also include seeking approval and launching the product
in Japan and other markets. On May 27, 2024, we received a marketing authorization from the European Commission for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
for the treatment of wet AMD. The authorization is valid throughout the European Economic Area, or the EEA, and provides eight years
of data exclusivity and 10 years of market exclusivity. On July 8, 2024, we also received marketing authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
for the treatment of wet AMD in the UK, followed by a recommendation by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, or
NICE, for LYTENAVA™ (bevacizumab gamma), as an option for the treatment of wet AMD on December 4, 2024. Outside of the United States,
we are currently moving ahead with our plans to launch directly in the initial markets of Germany and the UK in the second quarter of
calendar 2025.
Bevacizumab
is a full-length, humanized anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) recombinant monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that inhibits VEGF
and associated angiogenic activity. In October 2022 we submitted a Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA. The MAA was submitted as a ‘full-mixed marketing authorization application’ based
on Article 8.3 of Directive 2001/83/EC. On March 22, 2024, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP issued
a positive opinion concerning the authorization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma), an investigational ophthalmic formulation of
bevacizumab for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD, in the EU. In May 2024, the European Commission granted
the Marketing Authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the EU. The decision applied automatically in all 27
EU Member States, and, within 30 days, also to Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Additionally, in April 2024, we submitted a MAA to
the MHRA in the UK seeking approval of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) for the treatment of wet AMD. The submission was completed
under the new International Recognition Procedure, or IRP, which allows the MHRA to rely on an authorization received for the same product
from one of MHRA’s specified Reference Regulators, or RRs, when considering an application for marketing authorization in the UK.
These RRs include a positive opinion by the EMA’s CHMP concerning an application for grant of marketing authorization for the same
product in the EU. In July 2024, the MHRA granted marketing authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the UK.
ONS-5010/LYTENAVA is the first and only authorized ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in treating wet AMD in the EU and UK.
Separately,
in March 2022, we submitted a BLA with the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, an investigational ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab, which
we have developed to be administered as an intravitreal injection for the treatment of wet AMD and other retinal diseases. In May 2022,
we voluntarily withdrew our BLA to provide additional information requested by the FDA. We re-submitted the BLA to the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
on August 30, 2022, and in October 2022, we received confirmation from the FDA that our BLA had been accepted for filing with a goal
date of August 29, 2023 for a review decision by the FDA. On August 29, 2023, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, in which
the FDA concluded it could not approve the BLA during this review cycle due to several chemical, manufacturing and control, or CMC, issues,
open observations from pre-approval manufacturing inspections, and a lack of substantial evidence. At subsequent Type A meetings with
the FDA, we learned that the FDA requires the completion of an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA,
as well as additional requested CMC data indicated in the CRL to approve ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for use in wet AMD.
We
agreed to conduct an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial following discussions with the FDA in support of our BLA
for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. In December 2023, we submitted a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, to the FDA for this study (NORSE EIGHT)
seeking confirmation that, if successful, it will address the FDA’s requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled clinical
trial to support our planned resubmission of the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA BLA. In January 2024, we received confirmation that the FDA had reviewed
and agreed upon the NORSE EIGHT trial protocol pursuant to the SPA. If the NORSE EIGHT trial is successful, it would satisfy the FDA’s
requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled clinical trial to address fully the clinical deficiency identified in the CRL.
In addition, through a Type A meeting and additional interactions with the FDA, we identified the approaches needed to resolve the CMC
comments in the CRL. We believe that we have addressed the open CMC items and have concluded a series of Type C and Type D meetings with
the FDA to help resolve these comments. In November 2024, we reported that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority
endpoint at week 8 set forth in the SPA. However, the preliminary data from the trial demonstrated an improvement in vision and the presence
of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. Analysis of the complete week 12 data set
for NORSE EIGHT has now been completed and provided additional evidence of improvement in vision and biological activity. We plan to
resubmit the BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the first quarter of calendar 2025.
Our
BLA and MAA submissions for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in wet AMD involved three clinical trials, which we refer to as NORSE ONE, NORSE TWO and
NORSE THREE. The study design for our clinical program to evaluate ONS-5010/LYTENAVA as an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab was
reviewed at an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in April 2018, and we filed our investigational new drug application, or IND, with
the FDA in the first quarter of calendar 2019. In August 2020, we reported achieving the anticipated safety and efficacy proof-of-concept
results from NORSE ONE, a clinical experience study. NORSE TWO was our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial comparing ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to
ranibizumab (LUCENTIS). The topline results reported from NORSE TWO in August 2021 showed that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA met the primary and
key secondary endpoints for efficacy with clinically impactful change observed for treated patients. In March 2021, we reported that
the results from NORSE THREE showed a positive safety profile for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA.
As
agreed to with the FDA in the SPA, NORSE EIGHT is a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, masked, non-inferiority study of approximately
400 newly diagnosed, wet AMD subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 1.25 mg ONS-5010/LYTENAVA or 0.5 mg ranibizumab intravitreal
injections. Subjects received injections at Day 0 (randomization), Week 4, and Week 8 visits. The primary endpoint is the mean change
in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to week 8. In November 2024, we reported that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA did not meet the
pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the SPA. The difference in the means between the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA and
ranibizumab arms in the NORSE EIGHT trial was -2.257 BCVA letters with a 95% confidence interval of (-4.044, -0.470) while the lower
bound of the pre-specified non-inferiority margin in the SPA was -3.5 at a 95% confidence interval; the hypothesis of noninferiority
was not met (p>0.025). In the intent-to-treat, or ITT, primary dataset, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean +4.2 letter improvement in
BCVA in the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA arm and +6.3 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm. However, the preliminary data from the
trial demonstrated an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile for
ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. In January 2025, we reported the complete week 12 data and safety results from NORSE EIGHT, which continued to demonstrate
an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile. At week 12, the difference
in the mean between ONS-5010/LYTENAVA and ranibizumab was -1.009 BCVA letters with a 95% confidence interval of (-2.865, 0.848) in the
NORSE EIGHT trial. Applying the statistical parameters from the week 8 primary endpoint with the lower bound of the non-inferiority margin
at -3.5 with a 95% confidence interval, the noninferiority margin was met at week 12, indicating that the two study arms are not different
at this timepoint. In the ITT population, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean 5.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA arm
and 6.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm. Additionally, the change in central retinal thickness, a measure of anatomical
response, was similar in both study arms at all three study timepoints. The safety results demonstrated across the full duration of NORSE
EIGHT are consistent with previously reported safety results from the NORSE ONE, NORSE TWO, and NORSE THREE clinical trials, with no
cases of retinal vasculitis reported in either study arm. We plan to resubmit the BLA application for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the first
quarter of calendar 2025. If approved, we expect to receive 12 years of regulatory exclusivity in the United States.
Previously,
in November 2021, we began enrolling patients in our NORSE SEVEN clinical trial. The study compares the safety of ophthalmic bevacizumab
in vials versus pre-filled syringes in subjects diagnosed with a retinal condition that would benefit from treatment with intravitreal
injection of bevacizumab, including exudative age-related macular degeneration, DME, or BRVO. Subjects will be treated for three months,
and the enrollment of subjects in the arm of the study receiving ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in vials has been completed.
We
have also received agreement from the FDA on three SPAs for three additional registration clinical trials for our ongoing Phase 3 program
for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. The agreements reached with the FDA on these SPAs cover the protocols for NORSE FOUR, a registration clinical
trial evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to treat BRVO, and NORSE FIVE and NORSE SIX, two registration clinical trials evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA
to treat DME. The timing for initiating these studies has not been determined pending initial FDA approval for wet AMD.
Because
there are no approved bevacizumab products for the treatment of retinal diseases in the United States and other major markets, we submitted
a standard BLA and are not using the biosimilar drug regulatory pathway that would be required if Avastin were an approved drug for the
targeted diseases. If approved in the United States, we believe ONS-5010/LYTENAVA has potential to mitigate risks associated with off-label
use of unapproved bevacizumab. In the United States, 66.3% of retina physicians state off-label repackaged bevacizumab is their most
commonly used first-line anti-VEGF (ASRS 2022 Membership Survey Presented at ASRS NY 2022).
The Warrant Inducement Transaction
On January 16, 2025, we
entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letter agreements, or the Inducement Letters, with certain holders, or the Holders, of
existing warrants to purchase our common stock, exercisable for an aggregate of 7,074,637 shares of common stock, or the Existing Warrants,
pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise in a warrant inducement transaction, or the Warrant Inducement Transaction, their Existing
Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $2.51 per share, or the Reduced Exercise Price, in exchange for our agreement to issue new warrants
to purchase common stock, or the Inducement Warrants.
The closing of the Warrant
Inducement Transaction, or the Closing, occurred on January 17, 2025, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth
in the Inducement Letters.
In accordance with the Inducement
Letters and in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash at the Reduced Exercise Price, the Holders
received two Inducement Warrants for each Existing Warrant exercised. The Inducement Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of up
to 14,149,274 shares of common stock, or the Inducement Warrant Shares, at an exercise price of $2.26 per share. Half of the Inducement
Warrants representing warrants to purchase up to 7,047,637 shares of common stock, or the Tranche A Warrants, were immediately exercisable
and expire on January 17, 2030. The remaining Inducement Warrants, or the Tranche B Warrants, will be exercisable upon the effective
date of an amendment, or the Share Increase Amendment Effective Date, to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or Charter,
increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable thereunder, or the Share Increase Amendment, by at least the maximum
aggregate number of shares of common stock potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the Tranche B Warrants, without regard to any
exercise limits set forth therein and the effect of potential future adjustments to exercise price. The Share Increase Amendment will
be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware upon the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval at our 2025 annual
meeting of stockholders. The Tranche B Warrants will expire five years from the Share Increase Amendment Effective Date.
The Inducement Warrants
will only be exercisable for cash, except in limited circumstances. A Holder may not exercise the Inducement Warrants if the Holder,
together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage of the outstanding common stock (4.99%, 9.99% or
19.99%, as applicable), immediately after giving effect to such exercise, which may be increased or decreased at the Holders’ option
(not to exceed 19.99%), effective 61 days after written notice to us.
At the Closing, we received
gross proceeds of $17.8 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants, and may receive up to an additional $32 million of gross
proceeds upon cash exercise of the Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants, in each case before deducting capital markets advisory
fees and offering expenses.
We intend to use the net
proceeds from the Warrant Inducement Transaction to fund our ONS-5010 clinical development programs, European commercial launch of LYTENAVATM
and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Existing investors and entities
affiliated with certain directors of the Company are party to an Inducement Letter. GMS Ventures & Investments, affiliated with Yezan
Haddadin and Faisal G. Sukhtian, directors of the Company, exercised an aggregate of 3,458,571 Existing Warrants for an aggregate Reduced
Exercise Price of approximately $8.7 million in exchange for Inducement Warrants to purchase 6,917,142 shares of common stock.
In connection with the Warrant
Inducement Transaction, we agreed to prepare and file, within 45 days following the date of the Inducement Letters, a registration statement
with the SEC to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Tranche A Warrants held by the selling stockholders.
For more information regarding
the Warrant Inducement Transaction, see our Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the SEC on January 16, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.

stock covered by this prospectus. We will, however, receive the exercise price of $2.26 per share of any of the Tranche A Warrants exercised
for cash. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders
for offer and resale, we are referring to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants issued in the Warrant
Inducement Transaction as described above. When we refer to the selling stockholders in this prospectus, we are referring to the selling
stockholders identified in this prospectus and, as applicable, their permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest that may be
identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors”
in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, as updated by our subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports
and documents that are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, as well any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected
in subsequent filings with the SEC, including any applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities
being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely
affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities,
and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known
to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. Please also read carefully the
section above titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares held by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Upon any
exercise of the Tranche A Warrants for cash, the applicable selling stockholder would pay us the exercise price set forth in the Tranche
A Warrants.
Each Tranche A Warrant has
an exercise price equal to $2.26 per share, and if all 7,074,637 Tranche A Warrants are exercised on a cash basis, we will receive proceeds
of approximately $16 million. We expect to use any such proceeds primarily to fund our ONS-5010 clinical development programs, European
commercial launch of LYTENAVATM and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Tranche A Warrants are exercisable
beginning on January 17, 2025 and expire on January 17, 2030.
The Tranche A Warrants are
only exercisable for cash, except where there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein
is not available for the issuance of, the shares issuable upon exercise of Tranche A Warrants, in which case the Tranche A Warrants may
be exercised on a cashless basis. If any of the Tranche A Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment
from the applicable selling stockholder upon any such exercise.
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 their own broker or similar commissions
payable with respect to sales of shares of our common stock.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Tranche A Warrants issued
in the Warrant Inducement Transaction. For additional information regarding the issuance of Tranche A Warrants, see the section “Prospectus
Summary—Warrant Inducement Transaction” above. We are registering the resale of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of the Tranche A Warrants in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the
ownership of the Tranche A Warrants and for the selling stockholders whose other relationships are provided in “Certain Relationships
and Related Party Transactions,” the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
Beneficial ownership is
determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally,
a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares
or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days.
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.
This information has been obtained from the selling stockholders or in Schedules 13G or 13D and other public documents filed with the
SEC. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder based on its ownership
of Tranche A Warrants, as of January 24, 2025, assuming exercise of the Tranche A Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date,
without regard to any limitations on exercises, unless otherwise indicated. The Tranche A Warrants are exercisable only for cash, except
in limited circumstances, at any time and expire on January 17, 2030. The percentage of shares owned prior to and after the offering
in the third and sixth columns are based on 32,017,179 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 24, 2025. The percentage of shares
owned prior to the offering in the third column assumes the exercise of the Tranche A Warrants by each selling stockholder in computing
such stockholder’s percentage ownership, but not for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The
fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
In accordance with the terms
of the Inducement Letters, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the Tranche A Warrants issued in the Warrant Inducement Transaction. This maximum amount is determined as if the outstanding
Tranche A Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially
filed with the SEC and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. Under the terms of the Tranche A Warrants,
a selling stockholder may not exercise the Tranche A Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together
with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%, 9.99% or
19.99%, as applicable to each holder, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding following such exercise (for purposes of
the denominator, immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock to be issued upon the applicable exercise
of such Tranche A Warrant). The number of shares in the second and fifth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders
may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See the section “Plan of Distribution.”

B Warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the selling stockholders and agreed to file a registration statement to enable the resale
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. In the Warrant Inducement Transaction, GMS Ventures & Investments, affiliated
with Yezan Haddadin and Faisal G. Sukhtian, directors of the Company, exercised an aggregate of 3,458,571 Existing Warrants for an aggregate
Reduced Exercise Price of approximately $8.7 million in exchange for Inducement Warrants to purchase 6,917,142 shares of common stock.

position or office with us or our affiliates within the last three years or has had a material relationship with us or any of our predecessors
or affiliates within the past three years, other than as a result of the ownership of our shares or other securities.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder
of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their respective
Securities covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital 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 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; |
| · | 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. |
A selling stockholder may
also sell 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
a selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from a selling stockholder (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.
A selling stockholder may
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).
A selling stockholder 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 us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute the Securities.
We are required to pay certain
fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Securities. We have agreed to indemnify any selling stockholder
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) the date on which the Securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance
with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the Securities
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. 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 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 a selling
stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to a selling stockholder 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 15. Indemnification of Directors and
Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and
officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement
for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification
of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our
amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
We have entered into indemnification
agreements with our directors and executive officers, whereby we have agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the
fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the
director or executive officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or executive officer
is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, provided that such director or executive officer acted in good faith and in a manner
that the director or executive officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the our best interest. At present, there is no
pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers regarding which indemnification is sought, nor
are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
We maintain insurance policies
that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.
Item 16. Exhibit Index.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee
Table” exhibit to 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 (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
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, 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 the 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 undersigned registrant undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in 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 of the registrant in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Iselin, New Jersey, on February 28, 2025.

Outlook Therapeutics, Inc.
111 S. Wood Avenue, Unit #100
Iselin, New Jersey 08830
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to Outlook Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with
the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), including a related prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”),
covering the registration for resale of up to 7,074,637 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”),
of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Tranche A warrants (the “Warrants”).
The Warrants were issued by the Company pursuant to those certain warrant exercise inducement offer letter agreements dated as
of January 16, 2025, by and between the Company and certain holders of existing warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock
(the “Letter Agreements”).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined
and relied upon the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Letter Agreements, the Warrants, the Company’s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws, each as currently in effect, and such other records, documents, opinions, certificates, memoranda and instruments as in our
judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies,
the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all
documents by all persons other than the Company where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.
As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such
matters.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject
matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state antifraud law, rule or regulation
relating to securities or to the sale or issuance thereof.
With respect to the Warrant Shares, we express
no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company, adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company or other
matters cause the Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock than the number available for issuance by the Company. Further,
we have assumed that the exercise price of the Warrants will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share of the Common
Stock.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance
thereon, we are of the opinion that the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

set forth in this letter, and no opinion has been or should be implied, or may be inferred, beyond the matters expressly stated. This
opinion speaks only as to law and facts in effect or existing as of the date hereof, and we have no obligation or responsibility to update
