Indaptus Therapeutics hat ein S-1 eingereicht, um ein Angebot zu registrieren, das nicht näher bezifferte Bruttoerlöse zur Finanzierung von Forschung und Entwicklung sowie für Betriebskapital einwerben soll.

- Use of proceeds focused on R&D and working capital to support development activities
- Pro forma net tangible book value improves to $3.725 per share after the proposed adjustments
- High placement agent compensation: 7.0% fee plus 1.0% management fee and expense reimbursements reduces net proceeds
- Potentially significant dilution from issuance of up to 1,562,500 common warrants and placement agent warrants equal to 6% of securities sold
- Management has broad discretion over allocation of proceeds, increasing execution risk
- Reported negative tangible book value of $(2.765) as of June 30, 2025 and noted going concern/listing risks
Insights
TL;DR: Financing is dilutive but provides near-term cash for R&D; high placement agent costs reduce net proceeds.
The filing shows a capital raise with significant issuance of warrants and potential dilution given the two-warrant-per-share structure and issuance of placement agent warrants equal to 6% of securities sold. Placement agent compensation (7.0% fee plus 1.0% management fee and expense reimbursement) is material for a smaller offering and will reduce net proceeds available for R&D. Pro forma net tangible book value improves to $3.725 per share, which indicates the offering is intended to strengthen the balance sheet, but existing negative tangible book value on a reported basis highlights prior accumulated losses.
TL;DR: Standard S-1 governance and covenant package; broad management discretion over proceeds increases execution risk.
The prospectus includes customary covenants for such offerings, registration and lock-up provisions, and multiple warrant series with differing expirations. Managements broad discretion to allocate net proceeds is disclosed, which is common but increases investor reliance on management execution. The document lists going concern and Nasdaq listing risks, underscoring governance priorities around capital management and disclosure.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 2, 2025
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc.
Up to 781,250 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 781,250 Series A Common Warrants to Purchase up to 781,250 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 781,250 Series B Common Warrants to Purchase up to 781,250 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 781,250 Pre-funded Warrants to Purchase up to 781,250 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 46,875 Placement Agent Warrants to Purchase up to 46,875 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 2,390,625 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of the Series A Common Warrants, Series B Common Warrants, Pre-funded Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants
We are offering in a best-efforts offering up to 781,250 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware Company (“Indaptus”, the “Company”, “our company”, “we” or “us”), together with up to 781,250 series A common warrants, or the Series A common warrants, to purchase up to 781,250 shares of common stock and 781,250 series B common warrants, or the Series B common warrants and together with the Series A common warrants, the common warrants, to purchase up to 781,250 shares of common stock at an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and common warrants pursuant to this prospectus, which was the closing price of our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on August 27, 2025. The shares of common stock and common warrants will be sold in a fixed combination, with each share accompanied by a Series A common warrant and a Series B common warrant, each warrant to purchase one share of common stock.
We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity, in lieu of purchasing shares of common stock, to purchase pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Each pre-funded warrant will be immediately exercisable for one share at any time at the option of the holder until such pre-funded warrant is exercised in full, provided that the holder will be prohibited from exercising pre-funded warrants for shares of common stock if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding. The assumed combined purchase price of each pre-funded warrant and common warrants is $6.39 (which is equal to the assumed combined public offering price per share and common warrants to be sold in this offering minus $0.01, the exercise price per share of each pre-funded warrant). For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The pre-funded warrants will be sold together with common warrants in a fixed combination, with each pre-funded warrant to purchase one share accompanied by a Series A common warrant and a Series B common warrant, each warrant to purchase one share of common stock.
Each common warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share (which will be no less than 100% of the assumed combined public offering price per share to be sold in this offering), will be exercisable immediately on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the common warrants (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval Date” and such approval, the “Warrant Stockholder Approval”); provided, however, that, if and only if the Pricing Conditions (as defined below) are met, the common warrants will be exercisable upon issuance. As used herein “Pricing Conditions” means that the combined public offering price per share and accompanying common warrant is such that the Warrant Stockholder Approval is not required under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC because either (i) the offering is an at-the-market offering under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and such price equals or exceeds the sum of (a) the applicable “Minimum Price” per share under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) plus (b) $0.125 per whole share of common stock underlying the common warrants or (ii) the offering is a discounted offering where the pricing and discount (including attributing a value of $0.125 per whole share underlying the common warrants) meet the pricing requirements under the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s rules. The Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the 5th anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the date of issuance. Because we will issue two common warrants for each share and for each pre-funded warrant sold in this offering, the number of common warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants sold.
We are also registering the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants, common warrants and placement agent warrants offered hereby.
Our shares of common stock are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “INDP”. On August 29, 2025, the closing price of our shares of common stock was $6.50 per share. There is no established public trading market for the common warrants and pre-funded warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of those warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the common warrants or pre-funded warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.
The assumed combined public offering price used throughout this prospectus has been included for illustration purposes only, and may not be indicative of the final offering price. The actual combined public offering price per share and any pre-funded warrants will be negotiated between us and the purchasers, in consultation with the Placement Agent based on the trading of our common stock prior to this offering, among other factors, and will be determined at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final combined public offering price will be a fixed price determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the state of the biotechnology industry in which we operate, our recent operating results, including results of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.
This offering will terminate on October 2, 2025, unless we decide to terminate the offering (which we may do at any time in our discretion) prior to that date. We will have one closing for all the securities purchased in this offering. The combined public offering price per share (or pre-funded warrant) and accompanying common warrants will be fixed for the duration of this offering.
We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number of securities or dollar amount. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. We will bear all costs associated with the offering and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 16 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements

(1) | We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. We have also agreed to pay the Placement Agent for certain of its offering-related expenses, including a management fee of 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering, and reimburse the Placement Agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $50,000, its legal fees and expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses in an amount up to $100,000, and its clearing expenses in the amount of up to $15,950. In addition, we have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of our shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants being offered, at an exercise price equal to 125% of the combined public offering price per share of common stock and accompanying common warrants. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information and a description of the compensation payable to the Placement Agent. |
(2) | We estimate the total expenses of this offering payable by us, excluding the placement agent fees, will be approximately $100,000. Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, Placement Agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above. |
(3) | Does not include proceeds from the cash exercise of the pre-funded warrants or common warrants, if any. |
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.

Our Company
We are a clinical biotechnology company developing a novel and patented systemically-administered anti-cancer and anti-viral immunotherapy. We have evolved from more than a century of immunotherapy advances. Our approach is based on the hypothesis that efficient activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells and associated anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses will require a multi-targeted package of immune system activating signals that can be administered safely intravenously. Our patented technology is composed of single strains of attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria, designed to have reduced i.v. toxicity, but largely uncompromised ability to prime or activate many of the cellular components of innate and adaptive immunity. This approach has led to broad anti-tumor and anti-viral activity in preclinical models, including durable anti-tumor response synergy observed with each of four different classes of existing agents, including NSAIDs, checkpoint therapy, targeted antibody therapy and low-dose chemotherapy. Tumor eradication by our technology was associated with induction of both innate and adaptive immunological memory and, importantly, did not require provision of or targeting a tumor antigen in preclinical models. We have carried out successful current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) manufacturing of our lead clinical candidate, Decoy20.
In May 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, allowed us to proceed under our IND for a Phase 1 clinical trial in participants with advanced solid tumors where currently approved therapies have failed. In December 2022, we initiated an open label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion, single arm (monotherapy) Phase 1 study conducted in 2 parts. The Phase 1 study began with single dose administration and has now been followed with continuous weekly dosing of Decoy20 in tumor-specific expansion cohorts. The study is enrolling participants with any one of six advanced/metastatic solid tumors, who have exhausted approved treatment options. The study’s objectives are to assess the safety and tolerability of Decoy20, to determine the maximum tolerated dose, the optimal biologically active and recommended Phase 2 dose, as well as to assess Decoy20 pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and clinical activity. The primary endpoints of the study are incidence, relatedness and severity of adverse events and treatment-emergent adverse events and determining the number of subjects per cohort with dose limiting toxicity-based adverse events. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of anti-drug antibodies and neutralizing antibodies pre- and post-treatment, change in Decoy20 PK parameters over time, objective response rate and duration of response.
In August 2023, we evaluated the first four participants who received a single dose of 7 x 10^7 Decoy20 in Part 1 of the Phase 1 clinical trial. All four participants who enrolled were evaluable in the first cohort. These participants experienced generally anticipated transient adverse events including hemodynamic changes such as changes in pulse or blood pressure that resolved within 30 minutes and laboratory abnormalities such as grade 1-3 elevations in transaminases (liver function tests) and grade 4 reductions in lymphocytes that generally resolved within three days. One participant had a dose-limiting toxicity of grade 3 bradycardia (slow heart rate) and grade 2 hypotension (low blood pressure) which resolved within approximately 90 minutes with i.v. fluids. Participants also experienced transient induction of over 50 different biomarkers associated with innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. After the end of infusion, Decoy20 was cleared from the blood within 30 to 120 minutes. Peak cytokine and chemokine induction occurred within ~4 to 24 hours and most cytokine/chemokines returned to the participant’s respective baseline by 24-72 hours. This rapid clearance and associated transient cytokine/chemokine induction are desired to avoid prolonged toxicity, often associated with longer term cytokine exposure.

In September 2023, we began the second cohort of the Phase 1 clinical trial after receiving authorization from the Safety Review Committee. The second cohort dose was a reduction from 7 x 10^7 Decoy20 dose to 3 x 10^7 Decoy20. In March 2024, we completed the second cohort of participants who received a single dose of 3 x 10^7 Decoy20 in Part 1 of the clinical trial. Participants on the second (lower dose) cohort experienced adverse events similar in frequency and severity to the higher dose cohort with one dose-limiting toxicity of grade 3 ALT elevation that required one week to resolve. Pharmacodynamic effects included transient induction of multiple biomarkers. Clearance of Decoy20 was similarly rapid. Following authorization from the Safety Review Committee, we advanced into the weekly dosing part of the trial.
In May and June 2024, we enrolled two additional participants in the first cohort who received a single dose of 7 x 10^7 Decoy20, and in August 2024 we received the authorization from the Safety Review Committee to initiate the weekly dosing with 7 x 10^7 Decoy20.
As of October 2024, we completed one month of the weekly dosing part in the first six participants at the 3 x 10^7 Decoy20 dose and following the review of the safety data by the Safety Review Committee we received the authorization to initiate unrestricted enrollment of participants at the 3 x 10^7 Decoy20 dose. By May 2025, we had enrolled 13 participants on Decoy20 as a single dose and 32 participants in the weekly dosing among the two Decoy20 dose levels. In May 2025, we decided to conclude enrollment in the weekly dosing and focus on the combination study of Decoy20 with Tislelizumab, as further described below. We have observed early signs of potential benefits emerging with some participants with stable disease. As expected with the mechanism of action of Decoy20, we have seen adverse events of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in 6 participants that have resolved within 24-72 hours.
In October 2024, we entered into a clinical supply agreement, or the Supply Agreement, with BeOne Medicines (formerly known as BeiGene Switzerland GmbH), to advance clinical evaluation of Decoy20 in combination with BeOne’s anti-PD-1 antibody, Tislelizumab, or the BeOne Product, for the treatment of participants with advanced solid tumors, or the Combination Study. This Combination Study builds on preclinical results where Decoy20, combined with a PD-1 inhibitor, demonstrated tumor eradication. In June 2025, we announced the dosing of the first participant in the Combination Study and by August 2025 we had enrolled 6 participants, and we have seen one related serious adverse event of CRS in 1 participant that has resolved within 72 hours. The Combination Study will assess safety, dose optimization, and early signs of anti-tumor activity in participants with advanced solid tumors, previously treated with a checkpoint inhibitor or with tumors typically unresponsive to checkpoint inhibitors.
Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, we will pay for all costs associated with the Combination Study (other than the cost of the BeOne Product), BeOne will supply the BeOne Product to us for the purposes of the study, and we will supply Decoy20 for the purposes of the Combination Study. The Supply Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the date that we provide BeOne with the Combination Study’s final clinical study report or (ii) the date of termination of the Combination Study, subject to early termination in certain circumstances.
June 2025 Private Placement
In June 2025, we completed a private placement, pursuant to which we sold and issued to certain investors, including our Chief Executive Officer, (i) convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.7 million, which automatically converted into 501,566 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $8.302 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 190,795 shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,384,722 shares of our common stock, immediately exercisable at $8.302 per share and expiring five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the June 2025 financing, we issued to the placement agent and its designees placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 83,083 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $8.302. The placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance.
Reverse Stock Split
We implemented a 1-for-28 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, which became effective on June 26, 2025, with the shares beginning trading on a post-split basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 27, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 28 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into 1 share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued in the reverse stock split, and stockholders received a cash payment equal to the value of the fractional share, based on the adjusted closing price on Nasdaq as of June 26, 2025. The share and per share information in this prospectus supplement have been adjusted for the reverse stock split, however, have not been adjusted in information and documents incorporated by reference prior to June 26, 2025.

The Offering
Shares of Common Stock Outstanding Prior to this Offering | 1,106,529 shares of common stock (as of September 2, 2025). | |
Shares of Common Stock Outstanding after this Offering | 1,887,779 shares of common stock (assuming no sale of any pre-funded warrants and no exercise of the common warrants). | |
Pre-funded warrants | We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of our shares in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity, in lieu of purchasing shares, to purchase pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Each pre-funded warrant will be immediately exercisable for one share at any time at the option of the holder until such pre-funded warrant is exercised in full, provided that the holder will be prohibited from exercising pre-funded warrants for shares if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the total number of shares then issued and outstanding. The assumed purchase price of each pre-funded warrant and accompanying common warrants is $6.39 (which is equal to the assumed combined public offering price per share and common warrants to be sold in this offering minus $0.01, the exercise price per share of each pre-funded warrant). For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. This offering also relates to the shares issuable upon exercise of any pre-funded warrants sold in this offering. See “Description of Securities We Are Offering” for more information. | |
Common Warrants |
Up to 1,562,500 common warrants consisting of (i) up to 781,250 Series A common warrants and (ii) up to 781,250 Series B common warrants. Each share and each pre-funded warrant will be sold together with a Series A common warrant and a Series B common warrant. Each common warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share (which will be no less than 100% of the assumed combined public offering price per share and common warrants to be sold in this offering). The common warrants will be exercisable on the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the common warrants will be exercisable immediately. The Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the 5th anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the date of issuance. Because we will issue two common warrants for each share and for each pre-funded warrant sold in this offering, the number of common warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of shares and pre-funded warrants sold. This offering also relates to the shares issuable upon exercise of any common warrants sold in this offering. See “Description of Securities We Are Offering” for more information. | |
Use of proceeds |
Assuming the maximum number of shares are sold in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share, which represents the closing price of our shares on Nasdaq on August 27, 2025, and assuming no issuance of any pre-funded warrants and no exercise of the common warrants in connection with this offering, we estimate the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $4.3 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. However, this is a best efforts offering with no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds as a condition to closing, and we may not sell all or any of these securities offered pursuant to this prospectus; as a result, we may receive significantly less in net proceeds.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our research and development activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in bank deposits. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information. |

Lock-Up Agreements | We, our executive officers and our directors will enter into lock-up agreements with the Placement Agent. Under these agreements, we and each of these persons may not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of or hedge common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, subject to certain exceptions. The restrictions contained in these agreements will be in effect for a period of ninety (90) days after the date of the closing of this offering. For more information, see “Plan of Distribution.” | |
Risk factors | Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should read the “Risk Factors” section starting on page 6 of this prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider carefully before deciding to invest in our securities. | |
Nasdaq Capital Market symbol | Our shares are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “INDP”. There is no established public trading market for the common warrants and pre-funded warrants being offered and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of those warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants or the common warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system. | |
Best efforts offering | We have agreed to offer and sell the securities offered hereby to the purchasers through the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent is not required to buy or sell any specific number or dollar amount of the securities offered hereby, but it will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 16 of this prospectus. |
The above discussion and table are based on 1,106,529 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 2, 2025 and excludes:

● | no exercise of any common warrants issued in this offering; and | |
● | no exercise of any Placement Agent Warrants to be issued to the Placement Agent or its designees as compensation in connection with this offering. |

rISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as the financial or other information included in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks facing us. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. Any of the risks described below, and any such additional risks, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment.
Risks Related to the Offering
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.
Since the effective price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share of common stock and accompanying common warrants each to purchase one share of our common stock being sold in this offering (the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 27, 2025) and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $1.992 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. See the section titled “Dilution” in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase securities in this offering. The description in this paragraph assumes no sale of pre-funded warrants, which, if sold, would reduce the number of shares of common stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis until such pre-funded warrants are exercised.
If you purchase our securities in this offering, you may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.
In order to raise additional capital, we believe that we will offer and issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in the future. We are generally not restricted from issuing additional securities, including shares of common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or substantially similar securities other than the lock-up agreement. As a result of the dilution in net tangible book value to investors purchasing securities in this offering, investors may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering, if anything, in the event of the liquidation of our company. The issuance of securities in future offerings may cause further dilution to our stockholders, including investors in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
In addition, we have a number of stock options and warrants outstanding. To the extent that outstanding stock options or warrants have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, you may experience further dilution. Further, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
The best efforts structure of this offering may have an adverse effect on our business plan.
The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, placement agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to support our continued operations, including our near-term continued operations. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us. The success of this offering will impact our ability to use the proceeds to execute our business plan. We may have insufficient capital to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
This offering is being made on a best efforts basis and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby and may receive significantly less in net proceeds from this offering, which will provide us only limited working capital.
This offering is being made on a best efforts basis and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby and may receive significantly less in net proceeds from this offering. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $4.3 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $5 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will meet our capital needs through the end of March 2026 under our current business plan. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $4 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will satisfy our capital needs through the end of February 2026 under our current business plan. Assuming that we receive net proceeds of approximately $2.5 million from this offering (assuming an offering with gross proceeds of $3 million), we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will satisfy our capital needs through the end of January 2026 under our current business plan. Without giving effect to the receipt of any proceeds from this offering, we currently estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund business operations into November 2025.

If we are required to obtain Warrant Stockholder Approval, until we are able to receive such approval the Common Warrants will not be exercisable, and if we are unable to obtain such approval the Common Warrants will have no value.
The common warrants will have an exercise price of $ per share and will be exercisable beginning on the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date; provided, however, if the Pricing Conditions are met, the common warrants will be exercisable upon issuance. The Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the 5th anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the date of issuance.
If we are required to obtain Warrant Stockholder Approval, the common warrants will not be exercisable until, and unless, we obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval from our stockholders. While we intend to promptly seek the Warrant Stockholder Approval, if required, there is no guarantee that the Warrant Stockholder Approval will ever be obtained. If we are unable to obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval, the common warrants will have no value. In addition, we will incur substantial cost, and management will devote substantial time and attention, in attempting to obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval.
Our management team will have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to fund our research and development activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income. The decisions made by our management may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 9 of this prospectus.
Purchasers who purchase our securities in this offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement may have rights not available to purchasers that purchase without the benefit of a securities purchase agreement.
In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers that enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract provides those investors with the means to enforce the covenants uniquely available to them under the securities purchase agreement including: (i) timely delivery of shares; (ii) agreement to not enter into variable rate financings for six (6) months from closing, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) agreement to not enter into any financings for thirty (30) days from closing; and (iv) indemnification for breach of contract.
Shares representing a substantial percentage of our outstanding shares may be sold in this offering, which could cause the price of our shares to decline.
We may sell in this offering up to 781,250 shares, or approximately 71% of our outstanding shares, prior to this offering, as of September 2, 2025. This sale and any future sales of a substantial number of shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially adversely affect the price of our shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our shares.
There is no public market for the common warrants being offered or pre-funded warrants in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the common warrants being offered or the pre-funded warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the pre-funded warrants or common warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants will be limited.
The common warrants and the pre-funded warrants are speculative in nature.
The common warrants and the pre-funded warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the pre-funded warrants may acquire the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the pre-funded warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the pre-funded warrants will equal or exceed the public offering price for the pre-funded warrants.
The common warrants may not have any value.
Each common warrant has an exercise price per share equal to $_____ (no less than 100% of the assumed combined public offering price of shares in this offering). The Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the 5th anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the date of issuance. In the event the market price per our share does not exceed the exercise price of the common warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the common warrants may not have any value
Holders of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants offered hereby will have no rights as shareholders with respect to the shares underlying those warrants until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our shares, except as otherwise provided in the common warrants.
Until holders of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants acquire our shares upon exercise thereof, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares underlying such warrants, except to the extent that holders of such warrants will have certain rights to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and common warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming the maximum number of share are sold in this offering at an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants, which represents the closing price of our shares on Nasdaq on August 27, 2025, and assuming no issuance of pre-funded warrants in connection with this offering, we estimate the net proceeds of the offering will be approximately $4.3 million, after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding the proceeds we may receive from the cash exercise of the common warrants to be issued in this offering, if any. However, this is a best efforts offering with no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds as a condition to closing, and we may not sell all or any of these securities offered pursuant to this prospectus; as a result, we may receive significantly less in net proceeds. We cannot predict when or if the pre-funded warrants, the common warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants will be exercised, or if they will be exercised for cash. It is possible that the common warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants may expire and may never be exercised.
Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in the assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, by $0.07 million, assuming that the number of shares and accompanying common warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares and common warrants we are offering. An increase (decrease) of 100,000 in the number of shares we are offering would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, by $0.6 million, assuming the assumed combined public offering price stays the same.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our research and development activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, we retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of our shares and common warrants (or pre-funded warrants and common warrants, if applicable), pursuant to this prospectus. The precise amount and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend upon our liquidity needs and the availability and cost of other capital over which we have little or no control.
Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, short and intermediate term, interest-bearing, investment-grade instruments, U.S. government securities and highly rated corporate debt securities, although our investment policy may change following the date of this prospectus supplement. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2025 as follows:
● | on an actual basis; and |
● | on a pro forma basis to reflect the issuance of 501,566 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 190,795 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,467,805 shares of our common stock, following the automatic conversion of the June 2025 convertible notes, assuming exercise in full of the pre-funded warrants but no exercise of the warrants (the “Pro Forma Adjustments”); and |
● | on a pro forma as adjusted basis to further reflect the assumed issuance and sale by us of all shares of common stock and accompanying common warrants offered by means of this prospectus at an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants, which is based on the last reported sale price of our shares on Nasdaq on August 27, 2025, assuming no sale of pre-funded warrants and after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and without giving effect to the exercise of the common warrants issued in this offering, as if such issuance and sale had occurred on June 30, 2025. |
The as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering is subject to various adjustments. The as adjusted amounts shown below are unaudited and represent management’s estimate. The information in this table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified by reference to the financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information contained in this prospectus.

Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants would increase (decrease) the amount of cash and cash equivalents and total stockholders’ equity by $0.07 million, assuming that the number of shares and accompanying common warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus remains the same and after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares and accompanying common warrants we are offering. An increase (decrease) of 100,000 in the number of shares we are offering would increase (decrease) the amount of cash and cash equivalents and total stockholders’ equity by $0.6 million, after deducting the estimated Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming the assumed combined public offering price stays the same. The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual combined public offering price, the actual number of shares that we offer in this offering, and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
The above discussion and table are based on 604,963 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and excludes:
● | 104,666 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options under the 2021 Plan at a weighted exercise price of $125.42; | |
● | 23,624 shares of common stock reserved for potential future issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan; and | |
● | 312,354 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $127.05 per share. |

DILUTION
If you purchase our shares of common stock and accompanying common warrants in this offering, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the combined public offering price per share and common warrant you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our shares of common stock immediately after this offering.
The net tangible book value of our shares of common stock on June 30, 2025 was approximately $(1.7) million, or approximately $(2.765) per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the aggregate number of our shares of common stock outstanding.
After giving effect to the issuance of on a pro forma basis of the issuance of 501,566 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 190,795 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,467,805 shares of our common stock, following the automatic conversion of the June 2025 convertible notes, assuming exercise in full of the pre-funded warrants but no exercise of the warrants, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025, would have been approximately $4.8 million, or approximately $3.725 per share.
After giving further effect to the assumed sale by us of all shares of common stock and accompanying common warrants offered by means of this prospectus at an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants, which is based on the last reported sale price of our shares of common stock on Nasdaq on August 27, 2025, assuming no sale of pre-funded warrants and after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and without giving effect to the exercise of the common warrants issued in this offering, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been approximately $9.1 million, or approximately $4.408 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.683 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $1.992 per share to new investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:
Assumed combined public offering price per share and accompanying common warrants | $ | 6.40 | ||||||
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025 | $ | (2.765 | ) | |||||
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to Pro Forma Adjustments | $ | 6.490 | ||||||
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025 after giving effect to the Pro Forma Adjustments | $ | 3.725 | ||||||
Increase per share attributable to new investors in this offering | $ | 0.683 | ||||||
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025 after giving effect to this offering | $ | 4.408 | ||||||
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering | $ | 1.992 |
Each $0.10 increase (decrease) in an assumed combined public offering price of $6.40 per share and accompanying common warrants would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering by approximately $0.03 per share, and the dilution per share to new investors by approximately $0.07 per share and accompanying common warrants, assuming that the number of shares and accompanying common warrants offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares and accompanying common warrants we are offering. An increase (decrease) of 100,000 in the number of shares we are offering would (decrease) increase the dilution per share to new investors by approximately $0.07, after deducting the estimated Placement Agent’s fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, assuming the assumed combined public offering price stays the same. The information discussed above is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual combined public offering price, the actual number of shares that we offer in this offering, and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.
The above discussion and table are based on 604,963 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and excludes:
● | 104,666 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options under the 2021 Plan at a weighted exercise price of $125.42; |
● | 23,624 shares of common stock reserved for potential future issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan; and |
● | 312,354 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $127.05 per share. |
The above illustration does not take into account further dilution to investors in this offering that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants having a per share exercise price less than the effective public offering price per share in this offering. To the extent that any of these outstanding options or warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025, have been or are exercised in the future or we issue additional shares under our 2021 Plan, investors purchasing securities in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
11 |
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for use in our business and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
We are offering up to 781,250 shares of our common stock and common warrants to purchase up to 1,562,500 shares of our common stock. In addition, we are also offering pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares of common stock to those investors whose purchase of shares of our common stock in this offering would result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock following the consummation of this offering. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. We are also offering the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and the common warrants offered hereby.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of shares made up of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
As of the date of this prospectus, there were 1,106,529 shares of common stock outstanding, and there were holders of record of our common stock.
Common stock
Each share of our common stock outstanding is entitled to one vote on all matters on which our stockholders generally are entitled to vote. However, holders of our common stock are not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding classes or series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected classes or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such class or series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL.
Generally, the Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that, subject to applicable law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and/or the Amended and Restated Bylaws, all corporate actions to be taken by vote of the stockholders are authorized by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon who are present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, and where a separate vote by class or series is required, a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders of such class or series who are present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy will be the act of such class or series. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present.
Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding class or series of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property as the board of directors may declare thereon from time to time, and share equally on a per share basis in all such dividends and other distributions. In the event of our dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, after the payment in full of the amounts required to be paid to the holders of any outstanding class or series of preferred stock, our remaining assets and funds available for distribution will be distributed pro rata to the holders of our Common stock in proportion to the number of shares held by them and to the holders of any class or series of preferred stock entitled to a distribution. Holders of our Common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares of our Common stock. All outstanding shares of our Common stock are to be fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common stock are subject to those of the holders of any outstanding class or series of our preferred stock that we may issue in the future.

Pre-Funded Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the pre-funded warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the pre-funded warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the pre-funded warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.
Duration, Exercise Price and Form. Each pre-funded warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.01. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The pre-funded warrants will be issued separately from the accompanying common warrants and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. The pre-funded warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
Exercisability. The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). Purchasers of the pre-funded warrants in this offering may elect to deliver their exercise notice following the pricing of the offering and prior to the issuance of the pre-funded warrants at closing to have their pre-funded warrants exercised immediately upon issuance and receive shares of common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants upon closing of this offering. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s pre-funded warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Purchasers of pre-funded warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the pre-funded warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock.
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either round up to the nearest whole number or pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its pre-funded warrant, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, 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.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a pre-funded warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the pre-funded warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Exchange Listing. There is no trading market available for the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants.
Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the pre-funded warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the pre-funded warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the pre-funded warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Common Warrants
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the common warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the common warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of the common warrants for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the common warrants.
Duration, Exercise Price and Form. Each common warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $ . The common warrants will be exercisable on the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the common warrants will be immediately upon issuance. The Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the 5th anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date, provided that if the Pricing Conditions are met, the Series A common warrants and Series B common warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary and 18-month anniversary, respectively, of the date of issuance. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price. The common warrants will be issued separately from the common stock or pre-funded warrants, as applicable, and will be held separately immediately thereafter. Two common warrants, each to purchase one share of our common stock, will be issued for every share of common stock or pre-funded warrant purchased in this offering. The common warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
We intend to promptly, and in no event later than 90 days after the consummation of this offering, seek the Warrant Stockholder Approval for the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common warrants but we cannot assure you that the Warrant Stockholder Approval will be obtained, provided, however, that if and only if the Pricing Conditions are met, then we will not seek Warrant Stockholder Approval. We have agreed with the investors in this offering that, if we do not obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of the shares of common stock upon exercise of the common warrants at the first stockholder meeting for such purpose after this offering, we will call a stockholder meeting every 90 days thereafter until the earlier of the date we obtain such approval or the common warrants are no longer outstanding.
Exercisability. The common warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the common warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s common warrant up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the common warrant. No common warrants exercisable for a fractional share will be issued in this offering.
Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its common warrant, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the common warrant under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, 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 common warrants.
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the common warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will either round up to the nearest whole number or pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a common warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the common warrants to us together with the appropriate instrument of transfer.
Exchange Listing. There is no established public trading market for the common warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the common warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the common warrants will be limited.
Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the common warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the common warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their common warrants.

In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder of a common warrant will have the right to require us to repurchase its common warrants at the Black-Scholes value; provided, however, that, if the fundamental transaction is not within our control, including not approved by our board of directors, then the holder will only be entitled to receive the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black-Scholes value of the unexercised portion of common warrant that is being offered and paid to the holders of our common stock in connection with the fundamental transaction.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to an engagement agreement (the “engagement agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) we have engaged the Placement Agent to act as our exclusive placement agent to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus on a reasonable best efforts basis. The engagement agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of our securities, and the Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement agreement. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities offered by us under this prospectus, nor is it required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, other than to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of such securities by us. Therefore, we may not sell all of the securities being offered. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the Placement Agent and prospective investors. This is a best efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. The Placement Agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering.

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby, other than the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee and the FINRA filing fee:
SEC Registration Fee | $ | 2,354 | ||
FINRA Filing Fee | 2,806 | |||
Accounting Fees and Expenses | 20,000 | |||

Miscellaneous Expenses | 4,840 | |||
Total | $ | 100,000 |
Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants us the power to indemnify.
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:
● | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; | |
● | acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
● | payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or | |
● | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, offices or controlling persons of ours, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The securities described below were sold within the past three years and were not registered under the Securities Act.
Sales by Indaptus
In June 2025, we completed a private placement, pursuant to which we sold and issued to certain investors, including our Chief Executive Officer, (i) convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.7 million, which automatically converted into 501,566 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $8.302 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 190,795 shares of our common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,384,722 shares of our common stock, immediately exercisable at $8.302 per share and expiring five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the June 2025 financing, we issued to the placement agent and its designees placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 83,083 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $8.302. The placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years from the date of issuance.
On February 12, 2025, Indaptus entered into a standby equity purchase agreement, or the SEPA, with YA II PN, LTD., or YA, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to YA up to $20.0 million in shares of our common stock subject to certain limitations, from time to time during 36-month period following the date of execution of the SEPA. On February 12, 2025, Indaptus issued 10,927 shares of common stock to YA as consideration for its commitment to purchase our shares of common stock under the SEPA, or the Commitment Shares, and may issue up to $20.0 million of our shares of common stock pursuant to the SEPA, or the Advance Shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued an aggregate of 89,902 shares of common stock as Advance Shares to Yorkville for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.85 million. In the SEPA, YA represented to Indaptus, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The securities were sold by us under the SEPA in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On January 16, 2025, Indaptus completed a private placement, pursuant to which it sold and issued to certain investors 75,335 unregistered shares of common stock and unregistered warrants to purchase 75,335 shares of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $26.32 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the January 2025 financing, Indaptus issued to the placement agent and its designees placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,268 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $32.90. The placement agent warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary of the issue date.
On November 25, 2024, Indaptus completed a registered direct offering, pursuant to which it sold and issued to certain investors, including an officer and director of the Company, 64,893 shares of common stock. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, Indaptus issued to the investors unregistered warrants to purchase 64,893 shares of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $29.40 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and one warrant was $32.90, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $2.13 million, before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses in the amount of approximately $0.345 million. In connection with the November 2024 financing, Indaptus issued to the placement agent and its designees placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,436 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $36.75. The placement agent warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary of the issue date.
On August 8, 2024, Indaptus completed a registered direct offering, pursuant to which it sold and issued to certain investors, including an officer and director of the Company, 58,708 shares of common stock. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, Indaptus issued to the investors unregistered warrants to purchase 58,708 shares of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $47.60 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and one warrant was $51.10, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting placement agent and other offering expenses in the amount of approximately $0.5 million.
II-2 |
On December 22, 2022, Indaptus entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, and a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, or Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $20.0 million of Indaptus’ common stock. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Indaptus has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $20.0 million of Indaptus’ common stock. Such sales of common stock by Indaptus, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at Indaptus’ sole discretion, over the 36-month period (unless extended to a 48-month period pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) commencing on the date that a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock that have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, which Indaptus agreed to file with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied. As consideration for Lincoln Park’s irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of Indaptus’ common stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Indaptus (i) issued to Lincoln Park 5,087 shares of common stock, as the initial commitment shares, and (ii) will issue additional commitment shares, of common stock equal to $125,000 divided by the arithmetic average of the ten (10) Nasdaq Official Closing Prices for the common stock immediately preceding the date that Indaptus has sold over $10,000,000 purchase shares to Lincoln Park, (to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction) provided that the additional commitment shares number shall be no greater than 2,722. No shares of common stock have been sold under the program and in February 2025, we terminated the purchase agreement with Lincoln Park.
The securities above were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since, among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; | |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; | |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. | |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
II-5 |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
(i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§ 230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and | |
(ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§ 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§ 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
(b) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser;
(c) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(d) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
(e) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: |
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
