CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, including any prospectus supplement or document incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements about
us and our industry. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “Forward-Looking Statements” for purposes
of these provisions, including our plans of operation, any projections of revenues or other financial items, any statements of the plans
and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new products or services, any statements regarding
future economic conditions or performance, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. All forward-looking statements
included in this document are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to us as of such date. We assume no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as
“may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other
comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable,
there can be no assurance that such expectations or any of the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct, and actual results
could differ materially from those projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Future financial condition and results of
operations, as well as any forward looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, including any other factors referred
to in our press releases and reports filed with the SEC. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to the company or persons
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Additional factors that may have a direct
bearing on our operating results are described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus or in any related free writing prospectus.
You
should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus or any related free writing prospectus is accurate as of its date only.
Because the risk factors described herein could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All
written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf made after the date of this prospectus
are expressly qualified in their entirety by the risk factors and cautionary statements contained in this prospectus. Unless legally
required, we do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
In
addition, statements that “we believe” and similarly qualified statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant
subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information
forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to
indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements
are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to rely unduly upon them.
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This
summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that
may be important to you or that you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully,
including our financial statements and related notes and especially the information under “Risk Factors” incorporated by
reference herein from our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other filings with the SEC. This prospectus
contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and our future financial performance,
that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may vary materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as
a result of various factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under “Risk Factors,” as well as other matters
described in this prospectus and in our annual report on Form 10-K. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We
are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel immuno-oncology products based
on our proprietary Tri-specific Killer Engager (TriKE®), and Tetra-specific Killer Engager (Dual Targeting TriKE®) fusion protein
immune cell engager technology platforms. Our TriKE® and Dual Targeting TriKE® platforms generate proprietary therapeutics designed
to harness and enhance the cancer killing abilities of a patient’s own natural killer cells, or NK cells. Once bound to an NK cell,
our moieties are designed to activate the NK cell to direct it to one or more specifically targeted proteins expressed on a specific
type of cancer cell or virus infected cell, resulting in the targeted cell’s death. TriKE®s can be designed to target any number
of tumor antigens, including B7-H3, HER2, CD33 and PDL1, on hematologic malignancies or solid tumors and do not require patient-specific
customization. We believe our TriKE® and Dual Targeting TriKE® platforms that activate endogenous NK cells are potentially safer
than T-cell immunotherapy because there is less cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and fewer neurological complications. Our preclinical
data suggests that this is explained by the TriKE® dependent CD16 directed IL-15 proliferation of NK cells but little effect on endogenous
T cells.
We
are using our TriKE® platform with the intent to bring to market immuno-oncology products that can treat a range of hematologic malignancies,
solid tumors, and potentially autoimmune disorders. The platform is scalable, and we are implementing processes to produce investigational
new drug (IND) ready moieties in a timely manner after a specific TriKE® conceptual design. Specific drug candidates can then be
advanced into the clinic on our own or through potential collaborations with partnering companies. We believe our TriKE®s may have
the ability, if approved for marketing, to be used as both monotherapy and in combination with other standard-of-care therapies.
Our
initial work was conducted in collaboration with the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota under a program led by Dr.
Jeffrey Miller, Professor of Medicine, and the Interim Director at the Center. Dr. Miller, who also serves as our Consulting Senior Medical
Director, is a recognized key opinion leader in the field of NK cell and IL-15 biology and their therapeutic potential. We have exclusive
rights to the TriKE® platform and are generating additional intellectual property for specific moieties.
Recent
Developments
Private
Placement of Shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants
On
May 12, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (as amended, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”)
with certain of the Selling Stockholders (such Selling Stockholders, the “Private Placement Investors”), whereby we
agreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors (i) up to 6,612 Preferred Shares, (ii) the Common Stock Warrants, and
(iii) warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the number of Greenshoe
Conversion Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issuable upon exercise of the Greenshoe Right (as defined
below) (the “Vesting Warrants,” and together with the Common Stock Warrants, the
“Warrants”), with an aggregate stated value of $6,611,111.00, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,950,000.00 (the
transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, each Private Placement Investor may elect to purchase shares of Series L Preferred Stock with an aggregate
stated value of up to $24,018,349 (the “Greenshoe Rights”) for an aggregate purchase price of $21,616,514, subject to
adjustments, as further described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Each Private Placement Investor is entitled to exercise its
respective Greenshoe Rights for an amount of Series L Preferred Stock equal to the ratio of such Private Placement Investor’s
original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all Private Placement Investors.
In
connection with our entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, on May 12, 2025, we entered into a registration rights agreement with
the Private Placement Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a resale registration
statement with respect to the public resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise
of the Warrants not later than 30 calendar days after May 12, 2025 and after each closing of the exercise of a Greenshoe Right in accordance
with the Securities Purchase Agreement, to become effective no later than 90 days after filing.
The
foregoing summary descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part and are incorporated by reference herein.
The
Committed Equity Facility
On
May 14, 2025, the Company entered into the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with 5NL and Bristol relating to a committed
equity facility (the “Committed Equity Facility”), whereby we have the right from time to time at our option to sell to the
Facility Investors up to $20 million of our Common Stock subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company can sell up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Bristol
subsequently assigned all of its all of its right, title, interest and obligations in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement to its affiliate,
Hailstone.
Sales
of the shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will
be determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other
things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company regarding the use of proceeds of such
shares of Common Stock. The net proceeds from any sales under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with,
and prices at, which the shares of Common Stock are sold to the Facility Investors.
The
purchase price of the shares of Common Stock that the Company elects to sell to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
will be 93% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which the Company
has timely delivered written notice to the Facility Investors directing it to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with the execution of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to 5NL and Bristol the Pre-Funded
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 300,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration for their irrevocable commitment to purchase
the shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
The
foregoing summary descriptions of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrant do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part and are incorporated by reference herein.
Nasdaq
Matter
On
November 21, 2024, we received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”)
of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that the amount of our stockholders’ equity had fallen below
the $2,500,000 required minimum for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’
Equity Requirement”). Nasdaq’s determination was based upon our stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024. The Notification Letter also noted that we did not meet the alternatives of market
value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, and therefore, we no longer complied with Nasdaq’s Listing
Rules.
The
Notification Letter indicated that we had 45 days (i.e., until January 6, 2025) to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, noting that if such plan is accepted, the Staff can grant us an extension of up to 180 days from
the date of the Notification Letter to evidence compliance. In determining whether to accept our plan, the Staff will consider such things
as the likelihood that the plan will result in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria, our past compliance history,
the reasons for our current non-compliance, other corporate events that may occur within the review period, our overall financial condition
and our public disclosures.
We
submitted a plan of compliance to the Staff on December 31, 2024, outlining our plan to conduct periodic public and private securities
offerings to regain compliance. The Staff also requested additional information regarding our financing plans and financial
projection, which we provided to them. On June 13, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we have regained
compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Nasdaq will continue
to monitor the Company to ensure its ongoing compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, so if at the time of
the filing of the Company’s next periodic financial statements the Company does not evidence compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’
Equity Requirement, the Company may be subject to delisting.
If our Common Stock is delisted from
Nasdaq, our ability to raise capital through public offerings of our securities and to finance our operations could be adversely affected.
We also believe that delisting would likely result in decreased liquidity and/or increased volatility in our Common Stock and could harm
our business and future prospects. In addition, we believe that, if our Common Stock is delisted, our stockholders would likely find
it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our Common Stock and it may be more difficult for stockholders to
buy or sell our Common Stock at competitive market prices, or at all.
Going
Concern
We
have evaluated the significance of the uncertainty regarding our financial condition in relation to our ability to meet our obligations,
which has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While it is very difficult to estimate our future
liquidity requirements, we believe if we are unable to obtain additional financing, existing cash resources will not be sufficient to
enable us to fund the anticipated level of our operations through one year from the date the financial statements included in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 were issued. There can be no assurances that we will be able to secure additional
financing on acceptable terms. In the event that we do not secure additional financing, we will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate
some or all of our discretionary spending, which could adversely affect our business prospects, ability to meet long-term liquidity needs
and ability to continue operations.
Implications
of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We
are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, we may
provide less public disclosure than larger public companies, including the inclusion of only two years of audited consolidated financial
statements and only two years of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure
and the inclusion of reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. As a smaller reporting company, we are also exempt
from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result, the information that we provide
to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our Common
Stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float
or a public float (based on our Common Stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most
recently completed fiscal year.
Corporate
Information
Our
Common Stock currently trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol “GTBP.” Effective as of July 1, 2024, we became a fully remote
company. We do not maintain a principal executive office. For purposes of compliance with applicable requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act, any stockholder communication required to be sent to our
principal executive offices may be directed to 505 Montgomery Street, 10th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111. Our telephone number is (415)
919-4040. We maintain a website at www.gtbiopharma.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not, and should
not be considered, part of, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.

RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in the shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should
carefully consider the risk factors described below and in the “Risk Factors” sections incorporated by reference herein from
our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as well as any subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or
current reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference
into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained
in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus before acquiring any of such Common Stock. The occurrence
of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered shares of Common Stock.
Risks
Related to the Offering
There
has been a limited public market for our Common Stock, and we do not know whether one will develop to provide you adequate liquidity.
Furthermore, the trading price for our Common Stock, should an active trading market develop, may be volatile and could be subject to
wide fluctuations in per-share price.
Our
Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq under the trading symbol “GTBP;” historically, however, there has been a limited public
market for our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. The
liquidity of any market for the shares of our Common Stock will depend on a number of factors, including:
|
● |
the
number of stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
operating performance and financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
market for similar securities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
extent of coverage of us by securities or industry analysts; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
interest of securities dealers in making a market in the shares of our Common Stock. |
Even
if an active trading market develops, the market price for our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations.
In addition, the price of shares of our Common Stock could decline significantly if our future operating results fail to meet or exceed
the expectations of market analysts and investors and actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results could negatively
affect our share price.
The
volatility of the price of our Common Stock may also be impacted by the risks discussed under this “Risk Factors” section,
in addition to other factors, including:
| ● | developments
in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies; |
| ● | announcements
of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; |
| ● | announcements
by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry; |
|
● |
significant
sales of our Common Stock or other securities in the open market; |
|
● |
variations in
interest rates; |
|
● |
changes in
the market valuations of other comparable companies; and |
| ● | changes
in accounting principles. |
It
is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of Common Stock, if any, we will sell under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement
to the Facility Investors, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
On
May 14, 2025, we entered into the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with 5NL and Bristol, pursuant to which the Facility Investors
have committed to purchase up to $20.0 million worth of shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth
in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. The shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement may
be sold by us to the Facility Investors at our discretion from time to time until the first day of the month next following the 36-month
period commencing on the date of this prospectus.
We
generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Sales of our Common Stock, if any, to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement
will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Facility Investors
all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement.
Because
the purchase price per share of Common Stock to be paid by the Facility Investors for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to
sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common
Stock at the time we elect to sell shares to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not
possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of Common Stock that we will sell
to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that the Facility Investors will pay
for Common Stock purchased from us under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from
those purchases by the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
Although
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement provides that we may, in our discretion, from time to time after the date of this prospectus and
during the term of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, direct the Facility Investors to purchase our Common Stock from us in one or
more purchases under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of up to $20.0 million, only 25,000,000
shares of Common Stock are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. However, because
the market prices of our Common Stock may fluctuate from time to time after the date of this prospectus and, as a result, the actual
purchase prices to be paid by the Facility Investors for our Common Stock that we direct it to purchase under the Common Shares Purchase
Agreement, if any, also may fluctuate significantly based on the market price of our Common Stock.
Accordingly,
if we decide to issue and sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement more than the 25,000,000 shares being
registered for resale under this registration statement in order to receive additional proceeds (which we may elect to do, at our sole
discretion, up to aggregate gross proceeds of $20.0 million), we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements
to register the resale under the Securities Act by the Facility Investors of any such additional shares of Common Stock we wish to sell
from time to time under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective before we may elect to sell any such
additional shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of Common Stock in addition to the 25,000,000 shares of Common
Stock being registered for resale by the Facility Investors under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our
shareholders. The number of shares of Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by the Facility Investors is dependent upon the number
of shares of Common Stock, if any, we ultimately elect to sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
However, even if we elect to sell shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement,
the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion and at different
prices.
Investors
who buy shares of Common Stock from the Facility Investors at different times will likely pay different prices.
Pursuant
to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, to vary the timing, price and number of shares sold to the Facility
Investors. If and when we elect to sell Common Shares to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, after
the Facility Investors have acquired such Common Shares, the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none of such shares at
any time or from time to time in their respective sole discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase
shares from the Facility Investors in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may
experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors
may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the Facility Investors in this offering as a result of future
sales made by us to the Facility Investors at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering,
or other sales made by us or the other Selling Stockholders. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to the Facility
Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere
existence of our arrangement with the Facility Investors may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities
in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.
We
may use proceeds from sales of our Common Shares made pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement in ways with which you may not
agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.
We
will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from sales of our Common Shares made pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement,
including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity,
as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. However, we have not determined the
specific allocation of any net proceeds among these potential uses, and the ultimate use of the net proceeds may vary from the currently
intended uses. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or enhance the value of
our Common Shares.
Our
outstanding warrants and options may affect the market price of our Common Stock.
As
of the date of this prospectus, we had 3,272,995 shares of Common Stock outstanding and issued and had outstanding warrants
for the purchase of up to 16,751,669 additional shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.07
per share, 4,995,263 of which are exercisable as of the date of this prospectus (subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations).
In addition, we had outstanding options for the purchase of up to 124,600 additional shares of Common Stock at a weighted average
exercise price of $32.69 per share, 109,692 of which are exercisable as of the date of this prospectus. The amount
of Common Stock reserved for issuance may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise capital and may affect the price and liquidity
of our Common Stock in the public market. In addition, the issuance of these shares of Common Stock will have a dilutive effect on current
stockholders’ ownership.
Because
our Common Stock may be deemed a low-priced “penny” stock, an investment in our Common Stock should be considered high-risk
and subject to marketability restrictions.
Historically,
the trading price of our Common Stock has been $5.00 per share or lower, and deemed a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the
Exchange Act, and subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-100. Those rules require
broker–dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
| ● | deliver
to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; |
| ● | disclose
certain price information about the stock; |
| ● | disclose
the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the
broker-dealer; |
| ● | send
monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock;
and |
| ● | in
some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver
written statements to the customer with information specified in rules. |
Consequently,
the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of
holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional
procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and
sell our Common Stock, which could depress the price of our Common Stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable
grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending
speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these
rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some
customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock,
which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares of Common Stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares of Common
Stock, and thereby depress our price per share of Common Stock.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion
regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our Common Stock may be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about
us or our business. We currently have research coverage by only one securities analyst, and we may never obtain research coverage by
additional analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our Common Stock may
be negatively affected. In the event that we receive additional securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover
us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if
our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts
cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could
cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Anti-takeover
provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline.
Delaware
law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Charter”), our amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”)
and other governing documents contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing
so may be beneficial to our stockholders, which could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, these provisions could limit the
price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.
We
do not currently or for the foreseeable future intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the
development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable
future. As a result, any return on your investment in our Common Stock will be limited to the appreciation in the price of our Common
Stock, if any.
Purchasers
of our Common Stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.
The
effective public offering price per share of Common Stock in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our Common
Stock outstanding prior to this offering, in which case you may incur an immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book
value of the shares of Common Stock you purchase in this offering. Furthermore, if outstanding options or warrants are exercised,
purchasers could experience further dilution.
We
will need additional capital to conduct our operations and develop our products, and our ability to obtain the necessary funding is uncertain.
We
have used a significant amount of cash since inception to finance the continued development and testing of our product candidates, and
we expect to need substantial additional capital resources to develop our product candidates going forward and launch and commercialize
any product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval.
We
may not be successful in generating and/or maintaining operating cash flow, and the timing of our capital expenditures and other expenditures
may not result in cash sufficient to sustain our operations through the commercialization of our product candidates. If financing is
not sufficient and additional financing is not available or available only on terms that are detrimental to our long-term survival, it
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue to function. The timing and degree of any future capital requirements
will depend on many factors, including:
| ● | accuracy
of the assumptions underlying our estimates for capital needs in 2025 and beyond; |
| ● | scientific
and clinical progress in our research and development programs; |
| ● | the
magnitude and scope of our research and development programs and our ability to establish,
enforce and maintain strategic arrangements for research, development, clinical testing,
manufacturing and marketing; |
| ● | our
progress with pre-clinical development and clinical trials; |
| ● | the
time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals; |
| ● | the
costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent
claims; and |
| ● | the
number and type of product candidates that we pursue. |
Additional
financing through strategic collaborations, public or private equity or debt financings or other financing sources may not be available
on acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing could result in significant dilution to our stockholders, and any debt financings
will likely involve covenants restricting our business activities. Further, if we obtain additional funds through arrangements with collaborative
partners, these arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies, product candidates or products that we
would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize on our own.
If
sufficient capital is not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or product
development initiatives, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or business prospects.
Our
Common Stock may be at risk for delisting from the Nasdaq in the future if we do not maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued
listing requirements. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock and the market price of our Common Stock could
decrease.
Our
Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. Nasdaq has minimum requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on Nasdaq,
including corporate governance standards and a requirement that we maintain a stockholders’ equity above $2,500,000 as set forth
in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (“Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
On
November 21, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders’ equity has
fallen below the $2,500,000 required minimum for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Notification
Letter”).
The
Notification Letter indicated that we had 45 days (i.e., until January 6, 2025) to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, noting that if such plan is accepted, the Staff can grant us an extension of up to 180 days from
the date of the Notification Letter to evidence compliance. In determining whether to accept our plan, the Staff will consider such things
as the likelihood that the plan will result in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria, our past compliance history,
the reasons for our current non-compliance, other corporate events that may occur within the review period, our overall financial condition
and our public disclosures.
We
submitted a plan of compliance to the Staff on December 31, 2024, outlining our plan to conduct periodic public and private securities
offerings to regain compliance. The Staff also requested additional information regarding our financing plans and financial
projection, which we provided to them. On June 13, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we have
regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Nasdaq will
continue to monitor the Company to ensure its ongoing compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, so if at the
time of the filing of the Company’s next periodic financial statements the Company does not evidence compliance with the Minimum
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Company may be subject to delisting.
If our Common Stock is delisted from
Nasdaq, our ability to raise capital through public offerings of our securities and to finance our operations could be adversely affected.
We also believe that delisting would likely result in decreased liquidity and/or increased volatility in our Common Stock and could harm
our business and future prospects. In addition, we believe that, if our Common Stock is delisted, our stockholders would likely find
it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our Common Stock and it may be more difficult for stockholders to
buy or sell our Common Stock at competitive market prices, or at all.
In
the future, if we fail to maintain such minimum requirements and a final determination is made by Nasdaq that our Common Stock must be
delisted, the liquidity of our Common Stock would be adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock could decrease. In addition,
if delisted, we would no longer be subject to Nasdaq rules, including rules requiring us to have a certain number of independent directors
and to meet other corporate governance standards. Our failure to be listed on Nasdaq or another established securities market would have
a material adverse effect on the value of your investment in us.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
All
of the Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders for their respective
accounts. We will not receive any proceeds from any such sales.
A
portion of the Shares covered by this prospectus are issuable upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants
issued to the Selling Stockholders. The initial exercise price of the outstanding Common Stock Warrants is $2.043 per share. The exercise
price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances,
including stock splits or dividends, mergers, or reclassifications or similar events. Upon any cash exercise of outstanding Common Stock
Warrants, the applicable Selling Stockholders will pay us the exercise price. To the extent we receive proceeds from the cash exercise
of outstanding Common Stock Warrants, we intend to use the proceeds for working capital
and for other general corporate purposes. We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any of the
foregoing purposes in the event any of the Common Stock Warrants are exercised for cash.
We
may also receive up to $20,000,000 aggregate gross proceeds under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement from any sales we make to the
Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. The net proceeds from sales, if any, under the Common Shares Purchase
Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our Common Stock to the Facility Investor after the date of this
prospectus. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement for working
capital and for other general corporate purposes. See the section titled “The Committed Equity Facility” in this prospectus
for more information.
The
Selling Stockholders will pay any discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities
industry professionals and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other
expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in
effecting the registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, filing and printing fees, listing
fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
THE
COMMITTED EQUITY FACILITY
On
May 14, 2025, we entered into the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with 5NL and Bristol establishing the Committed Equity Facility.
Pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, beginning after the date of initial satisfaction
of all such conditions (the “Commencement Date”), we have the right from time to time at our option to direct the Facility
Investors to purchase our shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million. Sales of our shares of Common
Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by us from
time to time in our sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading
price of our Common Stock and determinations by us regarding the use of proceeds from any sale of such Common Stock. The net proceeds
from any sales under the Committed Equity Facility will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of Common Stock
are sold to the Facility Investors. To the extent we sell shares under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we currently plan to use
any proceeds therefrom for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In
accordance with our obligations under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part in order to register the resale by the Facility Investors of up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In consideration for
the Facility Investors’ execution and delivery of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we paid the upfront commitment fee to each
of the Facility Investors in the form of Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares Common Stock each, with an exercise price
of $0.001 per share.
Under
applicable Nasdaq rules, unless and until we obtain prior shareholder approval we cannot issue shares of Common Stock to the Facility
Investors that would exceed the Exchange Cap (as defined below). In addition, neither Facility Investor is obligated to buy any shares
of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement if such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Facility Investors and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule
13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in such Facility Investor beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of either
4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).
The
Common Shares Purchase Agreement contains customary registration rights, representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification
obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement were made
only for purposes of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such
agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.
VWAP
Purchase of shares of Common Stock Under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement
From
and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion, until the
first day of the month next following the 36-month period from the Commencement Date, to direct the Facility Investors to purchase up
to a specified maximum amount of shares of Common Stock (each such purchase, a “VWAP Purchase”) by delivering written notice
to the Facility Investors (such notice, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) on any trading day, so long as all shares of Common Stock
subject to all prior VWAP Purchases by the Facility Investors have previously been delivered to the Facility Investors.
The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Facility Investors are required to purchase in any single VWAP Purchase under the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement is equal to the least of:
| ● | a
number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
then beneficially owned by such Facility Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant
to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result
in such Facility Investor beneficially owning shares of Common Stock equal to (but not exceeding)
the Beneficial Ownership Cap; |
| ● | the
total volume of shares of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR”
function during the applicable period (subject to adjustment in the case that the price of
our Common Stock falls below a specified threshold price) multiplied by (ii) the lesser of
(A) the percentage of the volume of the shares of Common Stock that we direct the Facility
Investors to purchase and (B) 15% of the volume of the shares of Common Stock (unless
we and the Facility Investors expressly agree that such percentage shall exceed 15%)
(the amount set forth in this bullet, the “VWAP Purchase Share Request”); and |
| ● | the
number of shares of Common Stock set forth in any VWAP Purchase Notice, representing the
Company’s good faith estimate of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to
the VWAP Purchase Share Request during the applicable period on the date on which such shares
of Common Stock are delivered to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase
Agreement (the “VWAP Purchase Date”). |
The
per share purchase price for the shares of Common Stock that we elect to sell to the Facility Investors in a VWAP Purchase pursuant to
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) will be equal to ninety-three percent (93%) of the
lesser of the (i) lowest sale price on the VWAP Purchase Date and (ii) the VWAP over the applicable VWAP Purchase Period on such VWAP
Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price of Common Stock falls below a threshold price determined
by us (which shall be no lower than 90% of the closing price of the shares of Common Stock as of the prior business day but not less
than $1.00 (the “Threshold Price”), the VWAP Purchase Price shall be calculated using the VWAP for the shares of Common Stock
during the portion of the applicable trading day during for which the price is not below the Threshold Price, and, as applicable, using
the Block (as defined below) with the lowest price that is not below the Threshold Price. “Block” means any trade
on in excess of 10,000 shares of Common Stock on a single trading day to a single purchaser, as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR”
function.
We
define “VWAP” as, for the shares of Common Stock for a specified period, the dollar volume-weighted average price for the
shares of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR” function, with all such determinations being appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period. There
is no upper limit on the price per share that the Facility Investors could be obligated to pay for shares of Common Stock we elect to
sell to the Facility Investors in any VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
At
or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date, the Facility Investors will provide us with a written
confirmation for such VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors and
the total aggregate VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Facility Investors for the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased
by the Facility Investors in such VWAP Purchase.
The
payment for, against delivery of, shares of Common Stock purchased by the Facility Investors in a VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement is required to be fully settled by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately following the applicable
date of such VWAP Purchase Date, as set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
Conditions
Precedent to Commencement and Each VWAP Purchase
The
Facility Investors’ obligation to accept VWAP Purchase Notices that are timely delivered by us under the Common Shares Purchase
Agreement and to purchase our shares of Common Stock in VWAP Purchases under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, are subject to (i)
the initial satisfaction, at the Commencement Date, and (ii) the satisfaction, at each time we deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice on the
applicable date of VWAP Purchase after the Commencement Date (the “VWAP Purchase Commencement Time”), of the conditions precedent
thereto set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which conditions include, among others, the following:
| ● | the
accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company and
the Facility Investors included in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement; |
| ● | the
Company having performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants,
agreements and conditions required by the Common Shares Purchase Agreement to be performed,
satisfied or complied with by the Company; |
| ● | the
registration statement that includes this prospectus (and any one or more additional registration
statements filed with the SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and
sold by the Company to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement)
having been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and not being subject
to any stop order, and the Facility Investors being able to utilize this prospectus (and
the prospectus included in any one or more additional registration statements filed with
the SEC under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement) to resell all of the shares of Common
Stock included in this prospectus (and included in any such additional prospectuses); |
| ● | the
absence of any material misstatement or omission in the registration statement that includes
this prospectus (or in any one or more additional registration statements filed with the
SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by the Company to the
Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement); |
| ● | this
prospectus and all reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and
other documents required to have been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act having been filed with the SEC; |
| ● | all
of the shares of Common Stock that have been registered with the SEC for resale having been
approved for listing or quotation on Nasdaq (or if the shares of Common Stock are not then
listed on Nasdaq, on any Principal Market), subject only to notice of issuance; |
| ● | no
condition, occurrence, state of facts or event constituting a Material Adverse Effect (as
such term is defined in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement) shall have occurred and be
continuing; |
| ● | customary
bankruptcy-related conditions; and |
| ● | the
receipt by the Facility Investors of customary legal opinions, auditor comfort letters and
bring-down legal opinions, and auditor comfort letters as required under the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement. |
Termination
of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement
Unless
earlier terminated as provided in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically
on the earliest to occur of:
| ● | the
first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date; |
| ● | the
date on which the Facility Investors shall have purchased shares of Common Stock under the
Common Shares Purchase Agreement for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to $20.0 million; |
| ● | the
date on which the shares of Common Stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq
or any other Principal Market; |
| ● | the
30th trading day following the date on which the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy
case or any third party commences a bankruptcy proceeding against the Company; and |
| ● | the
date on which a custodian is appointed for the Company in a bankruptcy proceeding for all
or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit
of its creditors. |
We
have the right to terminate the Common Shares Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon 10 trading
days’ prior written notice to the Facility Investors. We and the Facility Investors may also terminate the Common Shares Purchase
Agreement at any time by mutual written consent. The Facility Investors also have the right to terminate the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement upon 10 trading days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain customary events.
No termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement by us or by the Facility Investors will become effective prior to the second trading
day immediately following the date on which any pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase has been fully settled in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, and will not affect any of our respective rights and obligations under
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with respect to any pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase, and both we and the Facility Investors
have agreed to complete our respective obligations with respect to any such pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase under the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, no termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will affect the registration rights provisions
contained within the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which will survive any termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
No
Short-Selling or Hedging by the Facility Investors
Each
of the Facility Investors has agreed that neither it nor any of its officers, nor any entity managed or controlled by it, will engage
in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own principal account or for the principal account of any of its officers or any entity
managed or controlled by it, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange
Act) of the shares of Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which established a net short position with respect to the shares of
Common Stock, during the term of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
Prohibition
on Variable Rate Transactions
Subject
to specified exceptions included in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, during the term of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, while
any VWAP Purchase Notice has been delivered but the related delivery and payment of such shares of Common Stock has not yet been completed,
we are limited in our ability to enter into specified “Variable Rate Transactions” (as such term is defined in the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement) other than another “equity line of credit,” which is prohibited. Such transactions include,
among others, the issuance of convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price that is based upon or varies with the trading
price of shares of our shares of Common Stock after the date of issuance.
Effect
of Sales of Shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement on Our Shareholders
The
shares of Common Stock being registered for resale in this offering may be issued and sold by us to the Facility Investors from time
to time at our discretion over a period until the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement
Date. The resale by the Facility Investors of a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time,
or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline and to be highly
volatile. Sales of our shares of Common Stock, if any, to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will be determined
by us in our sole discretion and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Facility
Investors all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to the Facility Investors pursuant to
the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. If and when we elect to sell shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement, after the Facility Investors have acquired such shares, the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none
of such shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who
purchase shares of Common Stock from the Facility Investors in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for
those shares of Common Stock, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different
outcomes in their investment results. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Committed Equity Financing-Investors who buy shares
of Common Stock from the Facility Investors at different times will likely pay different prices.”
Investors
may experience a decline in the value of the shares of Common Stock they purchase from the Facility Investors in this offering as a result
of future sales made by us to the Facility Investors at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.
In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement,
or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares of Common Stock or the mere existence of our arrangement with the
Facility Investors may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price
that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.
Because
the purchase price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to the Facility
Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock during the
applicable period for each VWAP Purchase made pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, as of the date of this prospectus
it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Common Stock that we will sell to the Facility Investors under the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors for those shares of Common Stock,
or the actual gross proceeds to be raised by us from those sales, if any. As of May 30, 2025, there were 3,147,995 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Although the Common Shares Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate gross purchase price of $20.0
million of our shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors, only 25,000,000 of our shares of Common Stock are being registered for
resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
If
all of the 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered for resale by the Facility Investors under this prospectus were issued and outstanding
as of May 30, 2025, such shares of Common Stock would represent approximately 89% of the total number of our shares of Common Stock outstanding.
If
we decide to issue and sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement more than the 25,000,000 shares of Common
Stock that are being registered for resale under this prospectus, which we may elect to do, at our sole discretion, up to aggregate gross
proceeds under the Committed Equity Facility of $20.0 million, in order to receive additional proceeds we must first file with the SEC
one or more additional registration statements to register the resale under the Securities Act by the Facility Investors of any such
additional shares of Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare
effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any such additional shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by the Facility Investors for resale under
this prospectus in order to receive or under any future prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, we
ultimately sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Further, if and when we elect to sell shares of
Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, after the Facility Investors has acquired such
shares, the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none of such shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time in its discretion
and at different prices.
The
issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights
or privileges of our existing shareholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing shareholders will be
diluted. Although the number of shares of Common Stock that our existing shareholders own will not decrease, the shares of Common Stock
owned by our existing shareholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock after any such issuance.
The
following table sets forth information at varying purchase prices assuming we sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares
Purchase Agreement the lesser of (i) the maximum number of CEF Shares offered by this prospectus and (ii) the maximum number of CEF Shares
that we may sell to the Facility Investors that results in the sale of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of $20.0
million:

Dividend
Policy
We
have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock to date and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any
payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings,
if any, our financial condition, our anticipated capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may think are relevant.
However, we currently intend for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development
and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following summary of the rights of our Capital Stock is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to
our Charter and Bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024,
filed with the SEC on April 14, 2025, the Certificates of Designations and forms of securities, copies of which are filed as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which are incorporated by reference herein.
The
following summary describes the material terms of our Capital Stock. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Charter
and our Bylaws.
Authorized
Shares
Our
authorized shares consist of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share
(the “Preferred Stock”). Our Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is listed on the Nasdaq
under the trading symbol “GTBP.”
On
February 2, 2024, the Company effectuated a reverse stock split of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a ratio of 1 for
30 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on February
5, 2024 under the existing trading symbol “GTBP.”
As
a result of the reverse stock split, every 30 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued
and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection
with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock will be entitled
to receive their pro-rata portion of the net proceeds obtained from the aggregation and sale by the exchange agent of the fractional
shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split (reduced by any customary brokerage fees, commission and other expenses). The Reverse Stock
Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split from 41,419,000 shares
to 1,380,633 shares, subject to minor adjustments due to the treatment of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares of Common
Stock remains unchanged at 250,000,000 shares.
Proportionate
adjustments have been made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise
of outstanding stock options and warrants for Common Stock, and to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance
pursuant to the GT Biopharma, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
All
share and per share information within this prospectus have been adjusted to retroactively reflect the Reverse Stock Split as of the
earliest period presented.
Common
Stock
Holders
of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record for the election of directors and on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as may be declared
by the Board out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any Preferred Stock then outstanding. In
the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets
legally available after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the liquidation preferences of any Preferred
Stock then outstanding. 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 currently outstanding or that we may designate and issue in the future. All outstanding shares of our Common
Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Except as described below in “Anti-Takeover Provisions Under Our Charter and Bylaws
and Delaware Law,” holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business, and a vote of the majority of the voting power represented at such meeting at which a quorum is generally
required to take action under our Charter and Bylaws.
Preferred
Stock
Our
Board is authorized, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or
more series. In the past the Board has designated series lettered A through L and issued shares in those series (other than Series K).
As of the date of this prospectus, only preferred shares in the series designated C and L have shares issued and outstanding. Our Board
can fix or alter the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions,
including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
a class or series. The issuance of Preferred Stock could, under certain circumstances, result in one or more of the following adverse
effects:
| ● | decreasing
the market price of our Common Stock; |
| ● | restricting
dividends on our Common Stock; |
| ● | diluting
the voting power of our Common Stock; |
| ● | impairing
the liquidation rights of our Common Stock; or |
| ● | delaying
or preventing a change in control of us without further action by our shareholders. |
Our
Board will make any determination to issue such shares based on its judgment as to our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
Series
C Preferred Stock
For
a discussion of the terms of our Series C Preferred Stock, see Note 6 to our audited financial statements, Stockholders’ Equity,
incorporated in this document by reference.
Series
L Preferred Stock
On
May 12, 2025, in connection with the Private Placement, we filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations
of Series L 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) to our Certificate of Incorporation with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which established the designations, preferences, powers and rights of the Series L Preferred
Stock. On May 22, 2025, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Increase (the “Certificate
of Increase”) increasing the shares of Series L Preferred Stock as designated in the Certificate of Designations from 28,056 shares
to 30,630 shares.
In
connection with the Private Placement, we issued an aggregate 6,612 shares of Series L Preferred Stock, or the Preferred Shares, which
have a stated value of $1,000, subject to increase as described in the Certificate of Designations, per share and are initially convertible
into 3,235,978 shares of Common Stock at the election of the holders, subject to (i) a restriction preventing the holders and their affiliates
from beneficially owning more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”),
(ii) a restriction prohibiting the conversion of the Preferred Shares to the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Common Shares Purchase Agreement, including through conversion of any Preferred
Shares, exercise of any Warrants or issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, exceeds 507,025 (the
“Exchange Cap”), and (iii) a contractually stipulated 4.99% or 9.99% blocker provision. The foregoing limitations described
in clause (i) and (ii) may be removed upon receipt of stockholder approval, and, as required by the Securities Purchase Agreement, we
have included a proposal to be voted on at our Annual Meeting, to be held on July 24, 2025, seeking stockholder approval of the removal
of such limitations.
General
The
Series L Preferred Stock has the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as are set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
The
Series L Preferred Stock ranks senior to all shares of capital stock of the Company, as to dividends, distributions and payments upon
the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.
Dividends
The
Series L Preferred Stock bears dividends at a per annum rate of 10%, and 12% per annum thereafter (subject to increase upon certain events
as described in the Certificate of Designations), payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first
such date after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (each as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in cash or in
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof (the dollar amount to
be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “Dividend Share Amount”). The form of dividend payments to each holder will be determined
in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions (as defined
in the Certificate of Designations) have not been met during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the applicable dividend
payment date (the “Dividend Notice Period”), in cash only, (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends
and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, at the sole election of the Company, in cash or shares of
Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), (iii) if funds are
not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, in shares
of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate, (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends
and the Equity Condition relating to an effective Conversion Shares Registration Statement (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)
has been waived by such holder (provided that the other Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period), as to such
holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate, and (v) if funds are not legally
available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the Dividend Notice Period, then, at the election
of such Holder, such dividends shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date or shall be accreted to, and increase, the outstanding
Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).
Conversion
Each
share of Series L Preferred Stock will be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the
option of the holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Exchange
Cap) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series L Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The
Conversion Price for the Series L Preferred Stock will equal $2.043, subject to adjustment as described in the Certificate of Designations
(the “Conversion Price”); provided that upon each exercise of a Greenshoe Right pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
in the event that 90% of the arithmetic average of the five lowest trading prices during the 10 trading days immediately prior to such
exercise of a Greenshoe Right is less than the then Conversion Price (each such price, the “Adjusted Price”), the Conversion
Price shall thereafter be reduced to equal the Adjusted Price, subject to further adjustment hereunder, provided further that the reduced
Adjusted Price shall in all events be subject to a floor of $0.454 (the “Floor Price”) (subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the Original Issue Date and provided that if the Adjusted
Price is less than the Floor Price, the Adjusted Price will equal the Floor Price).
Voting
Rights
The
shares of Series L Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series L Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Company may not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series L Preferred Stock,
(a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series L Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate
of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation
(as defined below) senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series L Preferred Stock, (c) amend its Certificate of Incorporation
or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders, (d) increase the number of authorized shares
of Series L Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Liquidation
Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders
will be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under the Certificate of Designations,
for each share of Series L Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any securities junior to
the Series L Preferred Stock, and if the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to
be distributed to the holders will be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable
on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.
Warrants
2023
and 2024 Warrants
Common
warrants for the purchase of up to 740,000 shares of Common Stock (the “2024 Common Warrants”) were issued pursuant to a
securities purchase agreement between us and certain institutional investors, dated as of May 21, 2024 (the “2024 Purchase Agreement”)
in registered form and entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price equal to $4.35 per share, subject
to adjustment as discussed below, terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. Also
pursuant to the 2024 Purchase Agreement, we had an additional number of outstanding placement agent warrants for the purchase of up to
88,800 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.4375. (the “2024 Placement Agent Warrants,” and together with the
2024 Common Warrants, the “2024 Warrants”).
Common
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 216,667 shares of Common Stock (the “2023 Common Warrants”), pre-funded warrants
to purchase up to 96,667 shares of Common Stock (the “2023 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and placement agent warrants to purchase
up to 13,000 of Common Stock (the “2023 Placement Agents Warrants,” and together with the 2023 Common Warrants and 2023 Pre-Funded
Warrants, the “2023 Warrants”) were issued pursuant to a purchase agreement dated December 30, 2022. The 2023 Common Warrants
have an exercise price equal to $30.00 per share, are exercisable commencing six months following issuance, and have a term of exercise
equal to five years following the initial issuance date. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants had an exercise price of $0.003 per share, are
immediately exercisable and could be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised
in full. The 2023 Placement Agents Warrants have an exercise price equal to $37.50 per share, are exercisable commencing six months following
issuance, and have a term of exercise equal to five years following the initial issuance date. The 2023 Shares and 2023 Common Warrants
were sold at an offering price of $30.00 per share and accompanying the 2023 Common Warrant and the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and the
2023 Common Warrants were sold at an offering price of $29.997 per 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying 2023 Common Warrant.
Holders
of 2023 Warrants and 2024 Warrants (together, the “2023 and 2024 Warrants”) may exercise such warrants on a “cashless”
basis if an effective registration statement is not available with respect to the offering of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
such Warrant. In such event, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of
shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the 2023 and 2024 Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2023 and 2024 Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event
of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. The 2023 and 2024 Warrants
may be exercised by delivery of a notice of exercise and the aggregate exercise price (assuming no cashless exercise has been elected
if an effective registration statement is not available with respect to the offering of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
2023 and 2024 Warrant) to us as specified in such 2023 and 2024 Warrants. Holders of 2023 and 2024 Warrants do not have the rights or
privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the 2023 and 2024 Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Common
Stock and Vesting Warrants
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Private Placement Investor was issued (i) a Common Stock Warrant, to purchase up to 3,235,978
shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of the Series L Preferred Shares
issued to such Private Placement Investor and (ii) a Vesting Warrant (the exercisability of which shall vest ratably from time to time
in proportion to the Private Placement Investor’s (or its permitted assigns’) exercise of such Private Placement Investor’s
Greenshoe Rights pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement), to purchase up to 11,756,406 shares of Common Stock equal
to the number of Greenshoe Conversion Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) applicable to such Private Placement Investor,
in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Common Stock Warrants have an initial exercise price of $2.043 per share, and
are exercisable, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Exchange Cap, immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise
equal to five years. With respect to the Vesting Warrants, the exercisability shall vest ratably from time to time in proportion to each
Private Placement Investor’s (or its permitted assigns’) exercise of Greenshoe Rights, each to purchase a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of Greenshoe Conversion Shares. The Vesting Warrants have an initial exercise price of $2.043 per
share, and are exercisable subject to certain vesting limitations and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Exchange Cap, and have
a term of exercise equal to five years from the date that the applicable warrant shares vest.
Holders
of the Warrants may exercise such warrants on a “cashless” basis if an effective registration statement is not available
with respect to the offering of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrant. In such event, the holder may elect instead to
receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set
forth in the Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted
in certain circumstances. The Warrants may be exercised by delivery of a notice of exercise and the aggregate exercise price (assuming
no cashless exercise has been elected if an effective registration statement is not available with respect to the offering of shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrant) to us as specified in such Warrants. Holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or
privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Pre-Funded
Warrants
In
connection with the execution of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to 5NL and Bristol the Pre-Funded Warrants
to purchase an aggregate 300,000 shares of Common Stock as consideration for their irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares
of Common Stock upon the upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The aggregate
exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Warrant Share, were pre-funded to the Company
on May 14, 2025.
Holders
of the Pre-Funded Warrants may exercise such warrants on a “cashless” basis if an effective registration statement is not
available with respect to the offering of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrant. In such event, the holder
may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according
to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Pre-Funded Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised by delivery of a notice of
exercise and the aggregate exercise price (assuming no cashless exercise has been elected if an effective registration statement is not
available with respect to the offering of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrant) to us as specified in such
Pre-Funded Warrants. Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting
rights until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be
voted on by stockholders.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions Under Our Charter and Bylaws and Delaware Law
Certain
provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and our Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging
another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire
control of us to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate
with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of
these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Charter
Undesignated
Preferred Stock. Our Board has the ability to issue Preferred Stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede
the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or
delaying changes in control or management of our Company.
Special
Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our Chairman, President
or a majority of the entire Board, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. This provision might delay the ability
of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any
action, including the removal of directors.
Board
Vacancies Filled Only by Majority of Directors. Vacancies and newly created seats on our Board may be filled only by a majority of
the directors then in office. Only our Board may determine the number of directors on our board. The inability of stockholders to determine
the number of directors or to fill vacancies or newly created seats on our Board makes it more difficult to change the composition of
our Board, but these provisions promote a continuity of existing management.
No
Cumulative Voting. The Delaware General Corporate Law (“DGCL”) provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right
to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our Charter provides otherwise. Our Charter and Bylaws do not expressly provide
for cumulative voting.
Directors
Removed Only by Special Meeting of Stockholders. A director can be removed only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote for the election of directors of the corporation given at a special meeting of the
stockholders called and held for this purpose.
Amendment
of Charter Provisions. In order to amend certain of the above provisions in our Charter and our Bylaws, the Board is expressly authorized
to adopt, alter or repeal the bylaws, subject to the rights of the stockholders entitled to vote. Stockholders can vote at any stockholder
meeting and repeal, alter, or amend the bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote in such meeting.
Delaware
Anti-takeover Statute
We
are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business
combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which
the person became an interest stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination”
includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which the interested stockholder receives or could receive a financial benefit
on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. This
provision has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our Board, including discouraging takeover
attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our market price. With approval of our stockholders,
we could amend our Charter in the future to avoid the restrictions imposed by this anti-takeover law.
The
provisions of Delaware law and our Charter could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence,
they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile
takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions
could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those issuable to
the Selling Stockholders or the Facility Investors, as applicable, upon (i) conversion of the Preferred Shares, (ii) exercise of the
Common Stock Warrants, (iii) exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and (iii) pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.
For additional information regarding the issuances of those Preferred Shares and the Common Stock Warrants, see “Private
Placement of Shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants” above. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares
of Common Stock and the Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, see “The Committed Equity Facility”
above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the Shares for resale from
time to time. Except for the ownership of the Shares of capital stock and warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material
relationship with us within the past three years.
The
table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by
each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder,
based on its ownership of the shares of capital stock and warrants, as of May 30, 2025, assuming conversion of the shares of the Preferred
Shares and exercise of the Common Stock Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations
on conversion or exercise.
The
third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.
In
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement with the Private Placement Investors, this prospectus covers the resale
of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares issued to the Selling Stockholders in the “Private
Placement of Shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants” described above, determined as if the outstanding Preferred Shares were converted
in full, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the related Common Stock Warrants, determined
as if the outstanding Common Stock Warrants were exercised in full, determined as of the trading day immediately preceding the
applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, without regard to any
limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Common Stock Warrants.
In
addition, this prospectus covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Commitment Shares issued
to 5NL and Bristol under the “Committed Equity Facility” described above, determined as if the outstanding Pre-Funded
Warrants were exercised in full, and (ii) the CEF Shares. Because the purchase price to be paid by the Facility Investors for the CEF
Shares, if any, that we may elect to sell to the Facility Investors in one or more VWAP Purchases from time to time under the Common
Shares Purchase Agreement will be determined on the applicable purchase dates therefor, the actual number of shares of our Common Stock
that we may sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of CEF Shares being
offered for resale under this prospectus.
The
fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the shares of the Preferred Shares, the Common Stock Warrants, and the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, a Selling
Stockholder may not convert any Preferred Shares or exercise any Common Stock Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable,
and we may not issue any shares of Common Stock to the extent such conversion or 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% or 9.99%,
as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such conversion, exercise or issuance, or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
or Exchange Cap, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares
which have not been converted, exercise of such Common Stock Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants which have not been exercised,
and the issuance of CEF Shares that have not been issued. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect these
limitations. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

MATERIAL
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The
following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition
of Common Stock issued pursuant to this offering. This discussion does not address tax consequences other than those pertaining to U.S.
federal income taxation. For example, this discussion does not address any consequences relating to estate or gift taxation, the alternative
minimum tax, or the Medicare tax on investment income. Nor does this discussion address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S.
taxation. This discussion applies only to holders that hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section
1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not address all aspects of
U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status, including:
|
● |
financial
institutions or financial services entities; |
|
● |
broker-dealers; |
|
● |
S
corporations; |
|
● |
partnerships
(including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes); |
|
● |
taxpayers
that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules; |
|
● |
tax-exempt
entities; |
|
● |
governments
or agencies or instrumentalities thereof; |
|
● |
insurance
companies; |
|
● |
regulated
investment companies or real estate investment trusts; |
|
● |
expatriates
or former long-term residents or citizens of the United States; |
|
● |
persons
for whom our Common Stock or pre-funded warrants constitute “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section
1202 of the Code; |
|
● |
persons
that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction; |
|
● |
persons
subject to the alternative minimum tax; |
|
● |
U.S.
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; |
|
● |
controlled
foreign corporations; |
|
● |
accrual
method taxpayers that file applicable financial statements as described in Section 451(b) of the Code; or |
|
● |
passive
foreign investment companies. |
If
a partnership (or any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Common Stock, common
warrants, or pre-funded warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally
depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any Common Stock, common warrants, or
pre-funded warrants, and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.
This
discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof,
all as of the date hereof. U.S. tax law is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations
described herein. We have not and do not intend to seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding
any U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent
with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.
EACH
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR OF THE
ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
U.S.
HOLDERS
As
used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
|
● |
an
individual citizen or resident of the United States, |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized
(or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, |
|
|
|
|
● |
an
estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have
the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. |
Distributions
on Our Common Stock
We
currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. If we do make distributions with respect to our Common Stock, a U.S.
Holder generally should be required to include in gross income as a dividend the amount of any cash distribution or the fair market value
of any other property distributed with respect to shares of our Common Stock, to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current
or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts treated as a dividend that we pay
to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation may qualify for a dividends received deduction, provided certain holding period and other
requirements are satisfied. Amounts treated as a dividend that we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be taxed as “qualified
dividend income” at preferential tax rates accorded to long-term capital gains, subject to certain exceptions and provided certain
holding period and other requirements are satisfied. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits should generally
constitute a return of capital that is applied against and that reduces (not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in
its shares of our Common Stock. Any remaining excess should generally be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of
our Common Stock and should generally be treated as described below under “—U.S. Holders—Sale, Exchange, or Other
Taxable Disposition of our Common Stock.”
Sale,
Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of our Common Stock
Upon
a sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock, a U.S. Holder generally should recognize capital gain or loss equal
to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted
tax basis in the applicable shares of our Common Stock. Any such capital gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain or loss
if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares our Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized
by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
U.S.
backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to distributions on our Common Stock, and the receipt of proceeds
from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of our Common Stock. Backup withholding generally should not apply, however, to a U.S.
Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from
backup withholding and establishes such exempt status. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding
may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any
excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing
any required information.
NON-U.S.
HOLDERS
As
used herein, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is
or is treated as an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.
Distributions
on our Common Stock
We
currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate
declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. If we do make distributions with respect to our Common Stock, any
such distribution made to a non-U.S. Holder with respect to our Common Stock should generally constitute a dividend for U.S. federal
income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income
tax principles. Provided that any such dividend is not effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or
business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment
or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), and subject to the discussion below regarding
backup withholding and FATCA (defined below), such dividend should generally be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount
of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income
tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable). Any distribution not constituting a dividend should generally be treated first as reducing (not below zero) the non-U.S.
Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted
tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock, which should generally be treated as described below
under “—Non-U.S. Holders—Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Common stock.”
Dividends
paid by us to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within
the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base
maintained by such non-U.S. Holder) should generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with
certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends should generally
be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S.
Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch
profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).
Sale,
Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of our Common Stock
Subject
to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a non-U.S.
Holder generally should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized from a sale, exchange, or other disposition of our
Common Stock unless:
|
(i) |
such
non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition
and certain other requirements are met, in which case any gain realized will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income
tax; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
the
gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable
income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), in which case
such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates
applicable to U.S. Holders, and any such gain of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional “branch
profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty); or |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
subject
to certain exceptions discussed below, we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation (a “USRPHC”) at any
time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period, in which
case (a) gain recognized by such non-U.S. holder on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of our Common Stock, pre-funded warrants,
or common warrants should generally be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates and (b) a buyer of our
Common Stock, pre-funded warrants, or common warrants from such non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax
at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. |
For
purposes of item (iii) immediately above, we will generally be classified as a USRPHC if the fair market value of our “United States
real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and
our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although there can
be no assurance, we believe that we are not currently a USRPHC and we do not anticipating becoming a USRPHC. Even if we are or become
a USRPHC, a non-US Holder should generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax under the rules discussed in item (iii) with respect
to gain realized on a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock if (A) our Common Stock is considered to be regularly traded on an
established securities market and (B) such non-U.S. Holder has not owned and is not deemed to have owned more than 5% of our Common Stock
at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period. There
can be no assurance that shares of our Common Stock qualify as regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of these
rules.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
U.S.
backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to distributions on our Common Stock, constructive distributions
on common warrants, and the receipt of proceeds from the sale or disposition of our Common Stock. A non-U.S. Holder may have to comply
with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to otherwise establish
an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding requirements, or to claim a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable
income tax treaty. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a non-U.S.
Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a non-U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld
under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.
Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act
Sections
1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the
“Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances
on dividends in respect of securities (including our Common Stock), and (subject to the proposed
Treasury Regulations discussed below) the gross proceeds derived from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock, which
are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into,
and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to, among other things, comply with specified due diligence, report, on an annual basis,
information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain
non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if allowed under an
intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority,
which may exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable
foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the disclosure of the ownership of the entity through which our securities
(including our Common stock) is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding and reporting is required. Withholding
agents may, however, rely on proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations that would no longer require FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds.
A withholding agent, and not GT BIOPHARMA, INC., will determine whether or not to implement gross proceeds FATCA withholding. Similarly,
dividends in respect of our Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain
exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding
agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding
the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which may in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.
All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our Common Stock.
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 securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq 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; |
|
|
|
|
● |
settlement
of short sales effected after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
|
|
|
● |
in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated
price per security; |
|
|
|
|
● |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup
or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The
Facility Investors are each an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. The Facility Investors
may use one or more registered broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of the CEF Shares that they may acquire from us pursuant
to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then
current market price. Each such registered broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities
Act. Each such broker-dealer may receive commissions from the Facility Investors for executing such sales for the Facility Investors
and, if so, such commissions will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.
We
know of no existing arrangements between the Facility Investors or any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating
to the sale or distribution of the CEF Shares offered by this prospectus.
As
consideration for their irrevocable commitment to, at our request, purchase the CEF Shares under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement,
we issued the Pre-Funded Warrants to the Facility Investors upon execution of the Purchase Agreement. We have agreed to reimburse the
Facility Investors up to $25,000 for the fees and disbursements of its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Common Shares Purchase Agreement and up to $5,000 per fiscal quarter thereafter in connection with the Facility Investors’ ongoing
due diligence review.
We
also have agreed to indemnify the Facility Investors and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering
of the CEF Shares offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute
amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. The Holder has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities
Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by the Facility Investors specifically for use in this prospectus
or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company
has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders, including the Facility Investors, 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
the Company 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 resale 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 resale 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 resale 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 the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders
and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the time of the
sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
