Company
Overview
We
are a medical device company that is currently focused on bone regeneration in spinal fusion using the recombinant human protein known
as NELL-1. NELL-1 in combination with demineralized bone matrix (“DBM”) is an osteopromotive recombinant protein that provides
target specific control over bone regeneration. The NELL-1 technology platform has been licensed exclusively for worldwide applications
to us through a technology transfer from the UCLA Technology Development Group on behalf of UC Regents (“UCLA TDG”). UCLA
TDG and the Company received guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that NELL-1/DBM will be classified
as a device/drug combination product that will require an FDA-approved pre-market approval (“PMA”) application before it
can be commercialized in the United States.
We
were founded by University of California professors in collaboration with an Osaka University professor and a University of Southern
California surgeon in 2004 as a privately held company with proprietary, patented platform technology. Our platform technology has been
validated in sheep and non-human primate models to facilitate bone growth. We believe our platform technology has application in delivering
improved outcomes in the surgical specialties of spinal, orthopedic, general orthopedic, plastic reconstruction, neurosurgery, interventional
radiology, and sports medicine. Lead product development and clinical studies are targeted on spinal fusion surgery, one of the larger
segments in the orthopedic market.
We
are a clinical-stage entity. The production and marketing of our products and ongoing research and development activities are subject
to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States. Prior to marketing in the United States, any combination
product developed by us must undergo rigorous preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) testing and an extensive regulatory approval
process implemented by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. There can be no assurance that we will not encounter problems
in clinical trials that will cause us or the FDA to delay or suspend clinical trials.
Our
success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and retain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate
without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that
patents issued to or licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable, or circumvented, or that the rights
granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to us.
During
2024, we announced the treatment of the first patients in the multicenter, prospective, randomized pilot clinical study of our NB1 bone
graft device. NB1 is NELL-1 protein combined with DBM to provide rapid, specific and guided control over bone regeneration.
The
pilot clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness, fusion success, pain, function improvement and adverse events of NB1
in up to 30 adult subjects who undergo transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion to treat degenerative disc disease (DDD). To be enrolled
in the study, subjects must have DDD at one level from L2-S1 and may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or Grade 1 retrolisthesis
at the involved level. The study is being conducted in Australia. The study design was previously reviewed and agreed upon by the FDA’s
Division of Orthopedic Devices in a Pre-submission to support progression to a pivotal clinical trial in the United States.
Product
Candidates
We
have developed a stand-alone platform technology through significant laboratory and small and large animal research over more than 10
years to generate the current applications across broad fields of use. The platform technology is our recombinant human protein, known
as NELL-1, a proprietary skeletal-specific growth factor that is a bone void filler. NELL-1 provides regulation over skeletal tissue
formation and stem cell differentiation during bone regeneration. We obtained the platform technology pursuant to an exclusive license
agreement with UCLA TDG which grants us exclusive rights to develop and commercialize NELL-1 for spinal fusion by local administration,
osteoporosis and trauma applications. A major challenge associated with orthopedic surgery is effective bone regeneration, including
challenges related to rapid, uncontrolled bone growth that can cause unsound structure; less dense bone formation; unwanted bone formation,
and cysts, swelling; and intense inflammatory response to current bone regeneration compounds. We believe NELL-1 will address these unmet
clinical challenges for effective bone regeneration, especially in hard healers.
We
are currently focused on bone regeneration in lumbar spinal fusion using NELL-1 in combination with DBM, a demineralized bone matrix
from MTF Biologics (“MTF”). The combination NELL-1/DBM medical device is an osteopromotive recombinant protein that provides
target specific control over bone regeneration. We have successfully surpassed four critical milestones:
|
● |
Demonstrated
a successful small laboratory scale pilot run for the manufacturing of the recombinant NELL-1 protein in Chinese hamster ovary cells; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Validated
protein dosing and efficacy in established large animal (sheep) model pilot studies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Completed
pivotal animal study; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Initiated
a first-in-human pilot clinical study in Australia. |
Our
lead product candidate is expected to be purified NELL-1 mixed with 510(k)-cleared DBM Demineralized Bone Putty recommended for use in
conjunction with applicable hardware consistent with the indication. The NELL-1/DBM Fusion Device, NB1, will be comprised of a single
dose vial of NELL-1 recombinant protein freeze dried onto DBM. A vial of NELL-1/DBM will be sold in a convenience kit with a diluent
and a syringe of 510(k)-cleared demineralized bone (“DBM Putty”) produced by MTF. A delivery device will allow the surgeon
to mix the reconstituted NELL-1 with the appropriate quantity of DBM Putty just prior to implantation. Use of NB1 will not require changes
to the orthobiologic preparation or implantation protocol.
The
NELL-1/DBM Fusion Device, NB1, is intended for use in lumbar spinal fusion and may have a variety of other spine and orthopedic applications.
While the product is initially targeted at the lumbar spine fusion market, in keeping with our exclusive license agreement, we believe
NELL-1’s novel set of characteristics, target-specific mechanism of action, efficacy, safety and affordability position the product
for application in a variety of procedures including:
|
Spine
Implants. The global bone graft substitute market presents a $3 billion opportunity per Fortune Business Insights. While
use of the patient’s own bone, also referred to as autograft, to enhance fusion of vertebral segments is currently the optimal
procedure for this type of treatment, complications associated with autograft bone including pain, increased surgical time and infection
limit its use.
|
|
Non-Union
Trauma Cases. While the majority of fractures heal without the need for osteosynthetic products, bone substitutes are used
in complicated breaks where the bone does not mend naturally. Management believes that NELL-1 technology will perform as well as
other growth factors, addressing this $8 billion global market opportunity per Fortune Business Insights. |
|
|
|
Osteoporosis.
The global osteoporosis market presents an $11.2 billion market opportunity per Evercore analyst reports. Finding a solution
to counter a decrease in bone mass and density seen in women most frequently after menopause or a similar effect on astronauts in
microgravity environments for an extended period is a major medical challenge. The systemic use of NELL-1 to stimulate bone regeneration
throughout the body thereby increasing bone density could have a very significant impact on the treatment of osteoporosis. |
UCLA’s
initial research was funded with approximately $18 million in resources from UCLA TDG and government grants. Since licensing the exclusive
worldwide intellectual property rights from UCLA TDG, we have continued development with funding through capital raises. Our research
and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2,130,385 and $6,907,824, respectively.
NELL-1’s
powerful specific bone forming properties are derived from the ability of NELL-1 to only target cells that exhibit an activated “master
switch” to develop into bone. NELL-1 is a function-specific recombinant human protein that has been proven in laboratory bench
models to recapitulate normal human growth and development to provide control over bone regeneration.
We
have completed two preclinical sheep studies that demonstrated our recombinant NELL-1 (“rhNELL-1”) growth factor effectively
promotes bone formation in a phylogenetically advanced spine model. In addition, rhNELL-1 was shown to be well tolerated and there were
no findings of inflammation. Our pivotal sheep study evaluated the effect of rhNELL-1 combined with DBM on lumbar interbody arthrodesis
in an adult ovine model and demonstrated a 37.5% increased frequency of fusion at 26 weeks compared with the control.
We
began subject enrollment in 2024 in our first-in-human pilot clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NB1 in
adult subjects with spinal degenerative disc disease at one level from L2-S1, who may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or Grade
1 retrolisthesis at the involved level, and are undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. The multi-center, prospective, randomized
study is being conducted in Australia and will enroll up to 30 patients. The primary end-point is fusion success at 12 months and change
from baseline in the Oswestry Disability Index pain score. We anticipate completing the trial 12 months after enrolling the 30th
patient. We intend to use the pilot clinical trial data from the Australia study to enable a future, larger U.S. pivotal clinical
study, prior to submission of a PMA to the FDA.
Our
Business Strategy
Our
business plan is to develop our target-specific growth factor for bone regeneration, based on preclinical and clinical data demonstrating
increases in the quantity and quality of bone, and a strong safety profile. Our initial focus on lumbar spinal fusion entails advancing
our target-specific growth factor through clinical studies to achieve FDA approval with comparable efficacy and safety to the gold standard
for spine fusion (autografts). Continued capital funding is critical to facilitate the development of our Nell-1 technology through the
clinical regulatory path.
Intellectual
Property Risks
Our
patent portfolio currently consists of six patents which expire between 2026 and 2033. We intend to expand our portfolio through composition
of matter, methods of use and methods of production patent applications, as the opportunity arises through the development of our platform
technology. We plan to submit a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) by the
end of the second quarter of 2025 regarding proprietary compositions of rhNELL-1 polypeptide for treating bone conditions. Our success
will depend in part on our ability to obtain patents and product license rights, maintain trade secrets, and operate without infringing
on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that the USPTO will
approve our patent application or the patents issued to or licensed by us will not be challenged, invalidated, rendered unenforceable,
or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to us. The patent
positions of medical device companies are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We may incur significant expenses
in protecting our intellectual property and defending or assessing claims with respect to intellectual property owned by others. See
“Risk Factors” on page 6 and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion
of intellectual property risks to consider carefully before deciding to invest in our securities.
Our
Management Team
We
have two full-time employees. Jeffrey Frelick has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since June 2019 and brings more
than 35 years of leadership, operational, and investment experience in the life science industry. Deina Walsh has served as our Chief
Financial Officer since November 2014.
Mr.
Frelick previously served as our Chief Operating Officer from 2015 to June 2019. Prior to Bone Biologics, Mr. Frelick spent 15 years
on Wall Street as a sell-side analyst following the med-tech industry at investment banks Canaccord Genuity, ThinkEquity and Lazard.
He also previously worked at Boston Biomedical Consultants where he provided strategic planning assistance, market research data and
due diligence for diagnostic companies. He began his career at Becton Dickinson in sales and sales management positions after gaining
technical experience as a laboratory technologist with Clinical Pathology Facility. Mr. Frelick received a B.S. in Biology from University
of Pittsburgh and an M.B.A. from Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School.
Ms.
Walsh has served as our Chief Financial Officer since November 2014. She is a certified public accountant and was the owner/founder of
DHW CPA, PLLC, a public accounting firm. Prior to forming her firm, Ms. Walsh spent 13 years at a public accounting firm where, as a
partner, she was actively responsible for leading firm audit engagements of publicly held entities in accordance with PCAOB standards
and compliance with SEC regulations, including internal control requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Ms. Walsh had
a global client base including entities throughout the United States, Canada and China. These entities encompass a diverse range of industries
including manufacturing, wholesale, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Her experience includes work with start-up companies
and well-established operating entities. She has assisted many entities seeking debt and equity capital. Areas of specialty include mergers,
acquisitions, reverse mergers, consolidations, complex equity structures, foreign currency translations and revenue recognition complexities.
Ms. Walsh has an Associates of Science Degree in Business Administration from Monroe Community College and a Bachelor of Science Degree
in Accounting from the State University of New York at Brockport.
We
have relied and plan on continuing to rely on independent organizations, advisors and consultants to perform certain services for us,
including handling substantially all aspects of regulatory approval, clinical management, manufacturing, marketing, and sales. Such services
may not always be available to us on a timely basis or at costs that we can afford. We also have engaged and plan to continue to engage
regulatory consultants to advise us on our dealings with the FDA and other foreign regulatory authorities and have been and will be required
to retain additional consultants and employees.
Our
future performance will depend in part on our ability to successfully integrate newly hired officers into our management team, engage
and retain consultants, and to develop an effective working relationship with our management and consultants. Losing key personnel or
failing to recruit necessary additional personnel would impede our ability to attain our development objectives. Losing key personnel
or failing to recruit necessary additional personnel would impede our ability to attain our development objectives. See “Risk Factors”
on page 6 and other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of management risks to consider
carefully before deciding to invest in our securities.
Recent
Developments
Nasdaq
Compliance
On
April 7, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq indicating that, based
on the closing bid price of our common stock for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer meet Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which
requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”). As discussed below,
we completed a 1-for-6 reverse stock split on June 10, 2025, and as of the close of business on June 24, 2025, we believe we have regained
compliance with the Bid Price Rule because we have maintained a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for 10 consecutive business
days. We expect to receive a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq indicating that we have regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
May 30, 2025, we received the approval of the requisite number of holders of the shares of our common stock to amend our Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse split of the shares
of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2.5 to 1-for-10 (or any number in between), with the exact ratio to be set within such range
in the discretion of our Board of Directors without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. On June 5, 2025, we filed
a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-6
reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split became effective on June 10, 2025. The conversion or exercise
prices of our issued and outstanding stock options and warrants were adjusted accordingly in connection with the reverse stock split.
Going
Concern
We
have a history of operating losses since inception and expect to incur additional near-term losses. As discussed further in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and Capital Resources,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its audit report to the financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, expressed substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome
of this uncertainty. Following this offering, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and continue to support
our planned development and commercialization activities. If we cannot secure the financing needed to continue as a viable business,
our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in us.
Corporate
Information
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 18, 2007 as AFH Acquisition X, Inc. Pursuant to a Merger Agreement,
dated September 19, 2014, by and among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bone Biologics Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
(“Merger Sub”), and Bone Biologics, Inc., Merger Sub merged with and into Bone Biologics Inc., with Bone Biologics Inc. remaining
as the surviving corporation in the merger. Upon the consummation of the merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased. On September
22, 2014, the Company officially changed its name to “Bone Biologics Corporation” to more accurately reflect the nature of
its business and Bone Biologics, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Bone Biologics, Inc. was incorporated in California
on September 9, 2004.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 2 Burlington Woods Drive, Suite 100, Burlington MA 01803 and our telephone number is (781)
552-4452. Our website address is www.bonebiologics.com. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into
this prospectus, and you should not consider any information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this
prospectus or in deciding whether to invest in our securities.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves significant risks. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully consider
the risks and uncertainties described below and elsewhere in the prospectus and set forth in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk
Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. For more
information, please see “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information.”
The
risks and uncertainties described in any documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks
and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business.
If any of the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein actually occur,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected in a material way. The occurrence
of any of these risks may cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities to fund clinical trials, maintain and extend our patent portfolio, and
for working capital and other general corporate purposes unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a specific
issue of securities.
The
precise amounts and the timing of our use of the net proceeds will depend upon market conditions, the availability of other funds and
other factors. As a result, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, our management will retain broad discretion
in the allocation and the use of the net proceeds of this offering.
THE
SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER
This
prospectus contains a summary of the common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units that we may offer under
this prospectus. The particular material terms of the securities offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus
supplement. The descriptions herein and in the applicable prospectus supplement do not contain all of the information that you may find
useful or that may be important to you. However, this prospectus, the prospectus supplement and the pricing supplement, if applicable,
contain the material terms and conditions for each security. The prospectus supplement will also contain information, where applicable,
about material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the offered securities, and the securities exchange, if any, on which
the offered securities will be listed. You should read these documents as well as the documents filed as exhibits to or incorporated
by reference to this registration statement. Capitalized terms used in this prospectus that are not defined will have the meanings given
them in these documents.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The
following description of our capital stock and provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended
(“Bylaws”) is only a summary. You should read and refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the forms of which
have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated herein by reference. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference.”
Our
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and up
to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of June 20, 2025, there were 22 shareholders of
record of our common stock. The actual number of holders of our common stock is greater than this number of record holders, and includes
shareholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street name by brokers or held by other nominees. This number of
holders of record also does not include shareholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.
On
June 10, 2025, we effected a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-6. Unless otherwise noted, the share and per
share information in this prospectus reflects the effect of the reverse stock split. However, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2024, filed on February 26, 2025, and all other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus that
were filed prior to June 10, 2025, do not give effect to reverse stock split.
Common
Stock
Each
holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have
cumulative voting rights. An election of directors by our stockholders will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders
entitled to vote on the election. All other actions by stockholders will be approved by the majority of the votes cast affirmatively
or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) except as otherwise required by law.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends that may be declared by our Board of Directors, subject to any
preferential dividend rights of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution,
the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available for distribution to stockholders after the
payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock.
Holders
of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights. The rights, preferences, and privileges of holders
of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock
that we may designate and issue.
Preferred
Stock
Under
our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate one
or more series of preferred stock and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative rights
granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption,
liquidation preference, and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be preferential to or greater than the rights of the common stock.
The
authority possessed by our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third parties
to obtain control of our company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or
more costly. Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock with voting rights, conversion rights, and other rights that, if exercised,
could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or discouraging another
party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws include provisions that:
|
● |
authorize
our Board of Directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or
more series designated by the Board of Directors; |
|
● |
specify
that meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our Board of Directors, or any officer instructed by the director to call
the meeting; and |
|
● |
provide
that vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors even though less
than a quorum. |
Our
Bylaws also provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates
for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely,
a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business
on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more
than 60 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely
must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than
the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day
on which a public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing
matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section
203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation such as Bone Biologics Corporation from engaging in a “business combination”
with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder
unless:
|
● |
prior
to the date of the transaction, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
● |
upon
completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned
at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of
determining the voting stock outstanding, but not for determining the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder,
(1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers of the corporation and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in
which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered
in a tender or exchange offer; or |
|
● |
at
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3%
of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In
this context, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial
benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates,
owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s
outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our
Board of Directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage business combinations or other attempts
that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC.
Stock
Market Listing
Our
common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “BBLG.”
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
We
may issue warrants to purchase our common stock, preferred stock or other securities. We may offer warrants separately or together with
one or more additional warrants, common stock, preferred stock, other securities or any combination of those securities in the form of
units, as described in the appropriate prospectus supplement. If we issue warrants as part of a unit, the accompanying prospectus supplement
will specify whether those warrants may be separated from the other securities in the unit prior to the warrants’ expiration date.
Below is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer. Further terms of the warrants will
be described in the prospectus supplement.
The
applicable prospectus supplement will contain, where applicable, the following terms of and other information relating to the warrants:
|
● |
the
specific designation and aggregate number of, and the price at which we will issue, the warrants; |
|
● |
the
currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable; |
|
● |
the
date on which the right to exercise the warrants will begin and the date on which that right will expire or, if you may not continuously
exercise the warrants throughout that period, the specific date or dates on which you may exercise the warrants; |
|
● |
any
applicable anti-dilution provisions; |
|
● |
any
applicable redemption or call provisions; |
|
● |
the
circumstances under which the warrant exercise price may be changed or adjusted; |
|
● |
whether
the warrants will be issued in fully registered form or bearer form, in definitive or global form or in any combination of these
forms, although, in any case, the form of a warrant included in a unit will correspond to the form of the unit and of any security
included in that unit; |
|
● |
any
applicable material United States federal income tax consequences; |
|
● |
the
identity of the warrant agent for the warrants and of any other depositaries, execution or paying agents, transfer agents, registrars
or other agents; |
|
● |
the
proposed listing, if any, of the warrants or any securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants on any securities exchange; |
|
● |
the
designation and terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants; |
|
● |
if
applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with
each security; |
|
● |
if
applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; |
|
● |
the
number of securities purchasable upon exercise of a warrant and the price at which those securities may be purchased; |
|
● |
if
applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time; |
|
● |
information
with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; |
|
● |
whether
the warrants are to be sold separately or with other securities as parts of units; and |
|
● |
any
additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants. |
Unless
otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of warrants, each series of warrants will be issued under
a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act
solely as our agent in connection with the warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust
for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of certain provisions of the warrants is not complete, and is
subject to modification in any prospectus supplement for any issuance of warrants. For the terms of a particular series of warrants,
you should refer to the prospectus supplement for that series of warrants and the warrant agreement and form of warrant certificate for
that particular series.
DESCRIPTION
OF RIGHTS
We
may issue rights, including rights issued as part of a unit with one or more other securities, to purchase common stock, preferred stock
or other securities that we may offer to our securityholders. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or
receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one
or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining
unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered
into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent
will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for
or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. A copy of the form of rights agent or subscription agent agreement,
including the form of rights certificate representing a series of rights, will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering
of a particular series of rights.
The
prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other
matters:
|
● |
the
date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
|
● |
the
aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable
upon exercise of the rights; |
|
● |
the
exercise price; |
|
● |
the
conditions to and method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise; |
|
● |
any
provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities the rights can be exercised for; |
|
● |
the
conditions to completion of the rights offering; |
|
● |
the
date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and |
|
● |
any
applicable federal income tax considerations. |
Each
right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the amount of shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities
on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration
date, all unexercised rights will become void.
If
less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons
other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant
to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Until
a holder exercises the rights to purchase shares of our common stock or preferred stock or other securities, the holder will not have
any rights as a holder of shares of our common stock or preferred stock or other securities, as the case may be, by virtue of ownership
of the rights.
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any rights. The preceding description and any description of rights in the
applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
right certificate and, if applicable, the rights agent agreement or subscription agent agreement relating to such rights.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may issue units comprised of one or more of the other classes of securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit
will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will
have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The units may be issued under unit agreements to be entered into
between us and a unit agent, as detailed in the prospectus supplement relating to the units being offered. The unit agreement under which
a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any
time before a specified date.
The
applicable prospectus supplement may describe:
|
● |
the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those
securities may be held or transferred separately; |
|
● |
any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; |
|
● |
the
terms of the unit agreement governing the units; |
|
● |
United
States federal income tax considerations relevant to the units; and |
|
● |
whether
the units will be issued in fully registered or global form. |
The
preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject
to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of unit certificate and unit agreement, if any, which will be filed with
the SEC in connection with the offering of such units, and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating
to such units.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell our securities in any of the following ways:
| ● | to
or through underwriters; |
| ● | through
broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal); |
| ● | directly
by us to one or more purchasers (including our affiliates and stockholders), through a specific
bidding or auction process, a rights offering or otherwise; or |
| ● | through
a combination of any such methods of sale. |
The
securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including
at-the-market offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices.
Each
time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we will also provide a prospectus supplement that contains the specific terms
of such offering. The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of such securities, including:
| ● | name
or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the type and amounts of securities underwritten
or purchased by each of them; |
| ● | the
public offering price of the securities and the net proceeds to us and any discounts, commissions
or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents; |
| ● | any
exchange on which the securities will be issued; and |
| ● | all
other items constituting underwriting compensation. |
We
may also issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our stockholders, in each case subject
to applicable restrictive covenants contained in agreements and instruments governing our debt at the time of such dividend, distribution
or offering. Any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights may or may not be transferable by stockholders. The applicable prospectus
supplement will describe the specific terms of the dividend, distribution or subscription rights, including the terms of the dividend,
distribution or subscription rights offering, the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the dividend,
distribution or subscription rights and, if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered
into by us in connection with the offering of common stock, other class of securities or units through the issuance of a dividend, distribution
or subscription rights.
Sale
Through Underwriters, Agents or Dealers
If
we use underwriters in the sale of any securities on a firm commitment basis, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for
their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting
syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase
the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities
if they purchase any of the securities. We may also engage underwriters on a best efforts basis.
We
may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale
of our securities and any commissions we pay to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its
appointment.
To
the extent that we make sales to or through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, we will do so pursuant to
the terms of a distribution agreement between us and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to a distribution
agreement, we will issue and sell shares of our common stock to or through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency
basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, we may sell shares on a daily basis in exchange transactions or
otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The distribution agreement will provide that any shares of our common stock sold
will be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our common stock. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds
that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time and will be described in a prospectus supplement. Pursuant
to the terms of the distribution agreement, we also may agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers
to purchase, blocks of our common stock or other securities. The terms of each such distribution agreement will be set forth in more
detail in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. If any underwriter or agent acts as principal, or broker dealer acts as underwriter,
it may engage in certain transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. We will describe any
such activities in the prospectus supplement relating to the transaction.
In
the sale of the securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions
and may also receive compensation from purchasers of the securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Discounts,
concessions and commissions may be changed from time to time. Dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities
may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions or commissions they receive from us and any
profit on the resale of securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under applicable federal and state securities
laws.
We
may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase our securities at the public offering
price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified
date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus
supplement will set forth any commissions or discounts we pay for solicitation of these contracts.
Agents
and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents
and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
We
may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately
negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates in connection with those derivatives, then the third parties
may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so,
the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open
borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings
of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement
(or a post-effective amendment).
Until
the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members
to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters are permitted to engage in some transactions that
stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining
the price of the securities.
Underwriters
may engage in overallotment. If an underwriter creates a short position in offered securities by selling more securities than are set
forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities
in the open market.
The
lead underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on other underwriters and selling group members participating in an offering. This means
that if the lead underwriters purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize
the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of any selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who
sold those securities as part of the offering.
Any
person participating in the distribution of common stock registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among
others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by any such person. Furthermore, Regulation
M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect
to our common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage
in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.
If
more than 10% of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) members participating in the offering, or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA members, the
offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110.
Direct
Sales and Electronic Auctions
We
may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.
We
may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities
directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of
electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the
description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.
Such
electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional
offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such
securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called “real-time” basis, relevant
information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted,
and whether a bidder’s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. Any such matters will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Upon
completion of such an electronic auction process, securities may be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The
final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders may be based in whole or in part
on the results of the Internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the issuance of the common stock offered by us in this offering will be passed upon for us Harter Secrest & Emery LLP,
Rochester, NY.

Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) permits 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 to us or our stockholders, acted or failed to act (an omission) not in good faith or that involved
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment
of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL, or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), provides that no director of the Company shall
be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any
provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of
directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or
a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in
related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person 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 action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation,
no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”) provide indemnification for our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at
our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom,
if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit
by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become,
a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee
of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted
by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal
therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best
interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances,
he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually
and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
As
of the date of this prospectus, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.
Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate
of Incorporation against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification
agreements provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for the reimbursement to us if it is found that
such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification. In addition, we have obtained a general liability insurance policy that covers
certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities
as directors or officers.

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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable,
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 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 this
registration statement or is 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 of 1933 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 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. |
(5) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller
to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Any
other communications that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 Section 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. |
|
|
(c) |
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 of 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. |
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 Town of Burlington, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on June 24, 2025.
