[S-1/A] Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. Amends IPO Registration Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: WINT) has filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-1 to register up to 42,168,035 shares of common stock for resale by existing investors. The shares correspond to 300 % of the common stock that could be issued upon conversion of 3,688 outstanding Series D convertible preferred shares (including 10 % stock dividends through October 29 2026) that were sold in an April 29 2025 private placement for approximately $2.5 million in gross proceeds. Each preferred share is initially convertible at $1.368 and may adjust down to a floor of $0.274. Prior to shareholder approval, conversions are capped at 19.99 % of pre-transaction shares outstanding.

Key elements of the filing include:

• Capital structure: 9.25 million common shares outstanding as of July 2 2025; up to 51.4 million if all Series D preferred, options, warrants and other dilutive securities are exercised or converted.
• Reverse splits: A 1-for-50 reverse split became effective on Feb 20 2025 (the fourth split since 2020) to maintain Nasdaq listing compliance.
• Use of proceeds: Windtree will not receive any proceeds from the resale; selling stockholders bear selling costs.
• Financial position: Cash and equivalents were $1.8 million at Dec 31 2024 and $1.2 million at Mar 31 2025 versus current liabilities of $5.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Accumulated deficit totals $846.6 million. Auditors cite substantial doubt about going-concern ability beyond July 2025 without new financing.
• Business overview: Pipeline led by istaroxime (Phase 2 cardiogenic shock/acute heart failure, Fast Track status); additional SERCA2a activators, rostafuroxin for genetically defined hypertension, and a newly acquired aPKCi oncology platform. In January 2025 Windtree adopted a strategy to acquire small, revenue-generating companies with FDA-approved assets.
• Recent financings: Multiple convertible notes and warrants issued to Seven Knots and Keystone Capital in June–July 2025 (14 % coupon, $0.587 conversion price, five-year warrants).
• Risk highlights: potential heavy dilution, limited liquidity, dependence on external capital, restrictive covenants, and market overhang from 42 million registered shares.

The amendment contains customary sections (Risk Factors, Plan of Distribution, Description of Securities) but does not alter the economic terms of the April 2025 financing or include new financial statements.

Positive

• Fast Track designation for istaroxime may shorten regulatory timelines and enhance partnering potential.
• Registration statement fulfils contractual obligations under the April 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, reducing default risk.
• Management articulates a diversification strategy to acquire cash-flow-generating assets, which could eventually mitigate reliance on dilutive financings.

Negative

• Going-concern warning with cash runway only through July 2025 and accumulated deficit of $846.6 million.
• Resale of 42.2 million shares dwarfs current float, posing severe dilution and market overhang.
• Multiple 14 % convertible notes and floor-priced preferred stock indicate expensive capital and potential downward pressure on share price.
• Four reverse stock splits since 2020 highlight chronic listing-compliance issues and eroded shareholder value.

Insights

Equity Capital Markets Analyst

TL;DR – Highly dilutive resale registration with minimal cash extends overhang; credit positive only if liquidity window is secured.

The filing enables early investors to liquidate up to 4.5× Windtree’s current float, creating material supply-side pressure once the SEC declares the registration effective. Although no new shares are issued today, conversion of Series D preferred at—or near—the $0.274 floor would expand share count by >440 %. Combined with 6 million outstanding warrants, true fully-diluted equity could exceed 60 million shares.

Windtree’s $1.2 million quarter-end cash covers weeks of burn, necessitating additional deals. Management’s plan to acquire FDA-approved assets using equity will likely demand further dilution. Until strategic funding or non-dilutive partnerships materialise, the amendment is negative for existing common shareholders but moderately positive for preferred holders who gain liquidity.

Biotechnology Sector Specialist

TL;DR – Pipeline has promise, but funding gap and repeated reverse splits undermine near-term value.

Istaroxime’s Phase 2 data show improved systolic blood pressure without tachyarrhythmia, meeting a key unmet need in early cardiogenic shock. Fast Track status offers expedited FDA engagement. However, advancing the SEISMiC-C study to 100 patients will cost an estimated $15-20 million—unfunded at present. The company’s shift toward acquiring commercial products could diversify cash flow yet distract from core R&D.

Overall impact is neutral-to-negative; clinical prospects remain intact, but capital constraints and dilution risk dominate the investment thesis.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 7, 2025 

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

 

Up to 42,168,035 Shares of Common Stock

   

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 42,168,035 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or the common stock, issuable upon the conversion of shares, referred to as the Preferred Shares, of our Series D convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, or the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

The Preferred Shares were acquired by the applicable selling stockholders under a securities purchase agreement, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated April 29, 2025, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, by and among us and the investors party thereto, or the Investors.

 

The sale of the Preferred Shares was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

We are registering the resale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 29, 2025, by and among us and the Investors, or the Registration Rights Agreement. The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from any sales of the shares of common stock offered hereby. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.

 

Sales of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders may occur in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices and/or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock directly or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both.

 

The selling stockholders may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by this prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The registration of the shares on behalf of the selling stockholders, however, does not necessarily mean that any of the selling stockholders will offer or sell their shares of common stock under this registration statement or at any time in the near future. We cannot predict when, or in what amounts, the selling stockholders may sell any of the shares of common stock. We provide more information about how the selling stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 24 of this prospectus.

 

We are paying the cost of registering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholders are responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares of common stock.

 

On February 14, 2025, we filed a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Our stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split and granted the Company’s board of directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio and when to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on February 3, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on February 20, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time and our common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on February 21, 2025 at market open under the existing ticker symbol, “WINT.” Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one share of common stock. The par value and other terms of the common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Overview

 

We are a biotechnology company focused on advancing early and late-stage innovative therapies for critical conditions and diseases. Our portfolio of product candidates includes istaroxime, a Phase 2 candidate that inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase and also activates sarco endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase 2a, or SERCA2a, for acute heart failure and/or associated cardiogenic shock; preclinical SERCA2a activators for heart failure; rostafuroxin for the treatment of hypertension in patients with a specific genetic profile; and a preclinical atypical protein kinase C iota, or aPKCi, inhibitor (topical and oral formulations), being developed for potential application in rare and broad oncology indications. We also have a licensing business model with partnership out-licenses currently in place.

 

In addition, in January 2025, we launched a new corporate strategy to become a revenue generating biotech company through acquisitions of small companies and their FDA-approved products while the Company continues to progress its cardiovascular and oncology development pipeline. The Company will seek acquisition targets to achieve the Company’s new corporate strategy. We believe there is an opportunity in the market: the acquisition of small companies with FDA-approved products from the many small biotech companies that struggle to maximize their commercialization potential. To capitalize on this opportunity, we plan to become a parent company acquiring strategic subsidiaries with FDA-approved products. The Company’s management team has commercialization expertise in both large pharmaceutical and small biotech companies across multiple therapeutic areas, potentially enabling them to leverage synergies and optimize commercial performance across future subsidiaries. The Company will seek to use equity to acquire subsidiaries. The number of deals, if any, over time will depend upon the valuation and growth potential of the subsidiary companies.

 

Our lead product candidate, istaroxime, is a first-in-class, dual-mechanism agent being developed to increase blood pressure and improve cardiac function in patients with cardiogenic shock and to improve cardiac function in patients with acute heart failure, or AHF, and reverse the hypotension and hypoperfusion associated with heart failure that deteriorates to cardiogenic shock. Istaroxime demonstrated significant improvement in both systolic and diastolic aspects of cardiac function and was generally well tolerated in four Phase 2 clinical trials. Istaroxime has been granted Fast Track designation for the treatment of AHF by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Based on the profile observed in our Phase 2 clinical studies in AHF, where istaroxime significantly improved cardiac function and systolic blood pressure, or SBP, in acute decompensated heart failure patients and had a favorable renal profile, we initiated a Phase 2 global clinical study, or the SEISMiC Study, to evaluate istaroxime for the treatment of early cardiogenic shock (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, or SCAI, Stage B shock), a severe form of AHF characterized by very low blood pressure and risk for hypoperfusion to critical organs and mortality. In April 2022, we announced our observations in the SEISMiC Study that istaroxime rapidly and significantly increased SBP while also improving cardiac function and preserving renal function. We believe that istaroxime has the potential to fulfill an unmet need in early and potentially more severe cardiogenic shock. We further believe that the data from the SEISMiC Study supports continued development in both cardiogenic shock and AHF. In September 2024, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b SEISMiC Extension Study, or the SEISMiC Extension, which demonstrated that istaroxime infused intravenously significantly improves cardiac function and blood pressure without increasing heart rate or clinically significant cardiac rhythm disturbances. Additionally, we have initiated a study in more severe SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock, or the SEISMiC C Study, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of istaroxime in cardiogenic shock patients who are also receiving standard of care rescue therapy for shock. The SEISMiC C Study is expected to enroll up to 100 subjects with SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock with enrollment anticipated to be completed in Q1 2026. An unblinded review of the data from the first 20 subjects is planned to take place in Q3 2025. Our ability to complete this study with its intended sample size is dependent upon our ability to secure adequate resourcing for the program through financing efforts or business development activities.

Our heart failure cardiovascular portfolio also includes other SERCA2a activators. One family of compounds has the dual mechanism of action that includes inhibition of the sodium-potassium ATPase as well as activation of SERCA2a. The other family of compounds are considered selective SERCA2a activators and are devoid of activity against the sodium-potassium ATPase. This research program is evaluating these preclinical product candidates, including oral and intravenous SERCA2a activator heart failure compounds. These candidates would potentially be developed for both acute decompensated and chronic out-patient heart failure. In addition, our cardiovascular drug product candidates include rostafuroxin, a novel product candidate for the treatment of hypertension in patients with a specific genetic profile. We are pursuing potential licensing arrangements and/or other strategic partnerships and do not intend to advance the development of rostafuroxin without securing such an arrangement or partnership.

 

Our cardiovascular assets and programs are associated with a regional licensed partnership with Lee’s Pharmaceutical (HK) Ltd., or Lee’s (HK), for the development and commercialization of our product candidate, istaroxime, in Greater China. In addition to istaroxime, the agreement also licenses our preclinical next-generation dual mechanism SERCA2a activators, and rostafuroxin. In addition, we are supporting the efforts of Lee’s (HK) in starting a Phase 3 trial in AHF with istaroxime.

 

On April 2, 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement, with Varian Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., or Varian. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we purchased all of the assets of Varian’s business associated with a license agreement, dated as of July 5, 2019, by and between Varian and Cancer Research Technology Limited, or the Licence Agreement, which includes the Licence Agreement, all rights in molecules and compounds subject to the Licence Agreement, know-how and inventory of drug substance, or the Transferred Assets. The Transferred Assets include a novel, potential high-potency, specific, aPKCi inhibitor with possible broad use in oncology as well as certain rare malignant diseases. The asset platform includes two formulations (topical and oral) of an aPKCi inhibitor. We plan to advance investigational new drug enabling activities and are in the process of determining the expected clinical development plan for the platform.

 

On April 19, 2025, WINT Real Estate, LLC (“WINT LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Assignment and Conditional Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment”) with Way Maker Growth Fund, LLC (“Way Maker”) relating to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 28, 2024 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated December 19, 2024 (the “First Amendment”) and that certain Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated March 25, 2025, (the “Second Amendment”; the Original Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, is referred to hereafter as the “Aubrey Purchase Agreement”), and that certain development services agreement, dated February 4, 2025 (the “Development Agreement,” and together with the Aubrey Purchase Agreement, collectively, the “Assigned Agreements”, each between Way Maker and TBB Crescent Park Drive LLC (“TBB CPD”)). Pursuant to the Aubrey Purchase Agreement, TBB CPD agreed to sell to Way Maker real property commonly known as the Aubrey, located at 11755 Southlake, Houston, Texas (the “Property”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment, Way Maker agreed to assign to WINT LLC its right, title and interest in the Assigned Agreements. WINT LLC will not be deemed to have assumed or have any liability under the Assigned Agreements until certain conditions have been met, including (i) the Aubrey Purchase Agreement is amended as required by WINT LLC, (ii) WINT has reviewed and approved the Development Agreement, (iii) WINT LLC has reviewed and approved the title commitment and current permitted encumbrances provided for in the Aubrey Purchase Agreement, (iv) WINT LLC has reviewed and approved the survey with respect to the Property, and (v) WINT LLC has reviewed and approved all terminated and non-terminable contracts provided for in the Sales Agreement (collectively, the “Assumption Conditions”).

 

Notwithstanding the Assumption Conditions, WINT LLC has advanced $1,400,000 (the “Advance”) to TBB CPD to be held as part of the earnest money due under the Aubrey Purchase Agreement (the “Earnest Money”) in exchange for an extension of the closing date under the Aubrey Purchase Agreement to May 23, 2025. The purchase price for the Property pursuant to the Aubrey Purchase Agreement is approximately $43,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Aubrey Purchase Agreement, the sale of the Property must close on or before May 23, 2025 (the “Aubrey Closing Date”), provided WINT LLC is entitled to extend the Aubrey Closing Date by up to two times, each extension being for 30 days, by payment of $1,000,000 per extension (each, an “Extension Payment”) to TBB CPD. The Extension Payments shall be held as part of the Earnest Money and shall be applicable to the Purchase Price on the Aubrey Closing Date.

 

We have incurred operating losses since our incorporation on November 6, 1992. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had operating losses of $26.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $846.6 million. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of our common and preferred stock and borrowings from investors and financial institutions. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and current liabilities of $5.7 million. We expect to continue to incur significant research and clinical development, regulatory and other expenses as we (i) continue to develop our product candidates; (ii) seek regulatory clearances or approvals for our product candidates; (iii) conduct clinical trials on our product candidates; and (iv) manufacture, market and sell any product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval.

 

Our ability to advance our development programs is dependent upon our ability to secure additional capital in both the near and long-term, through public or private securities offerings; convertible debt financings; and/or potential strategic opportunities, including licensing agreements, drug product development, marketing collaboration arrangements, pharmaceutical research cooperation arrangements, and/or other similar transactions in geographic markets, including the United States (“U.S.”), and/or through potential grants and other funding commitments from U.S. government agencies, in each case, if available. We have engaged with potential counterparties in various markets and will continue to pursue non-dilutive sources of capital as well as potential private and public securities offerings. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to identify and enter into public or private securities offerings on acceptable terms and in amounts sufficient to meet our needs or qualify for non-dilutive funding opportunities under any grant programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, private foundations, and/or leading academic institutions, or identify and enter into any strategic transactions that will provide the additional capital that we will require. If none of these alternatives is available, or if available and we are unable to raise sufficient capital through such transactions, we potentially could be forced to limit or cease our development activities, as well as modify or cease our operations, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Private Placement of Preferred Shares

 

On April 29, 2025, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investors. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million.

 

We agreed to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of all of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

The Company additionally agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, without the consent of the holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities (as defined below), for the period commencing on April 29, 2025 and ending on the date immediately following the 90th trading day after the Applicable Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), any Convertible Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement (whether occurring during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).

 

Subject to the limitations described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, for so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company will be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (other than a Permitted Equity Line (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)). Additionally, the Securities Purchase Agreement contains a participation right, which provides that, subject to certain exceptions, at any time on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company complies with the notice procedures as outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to each Buyer, providing the opportunity for such Buyer to participate in such Subsequent Placement on a pro rata basis as described in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed (i) in lieu of the payments required pursuant Sections 10, 6 and 2(d) of the that certain certificate of designation (as amended, modified, or supplemented, the “Series C COD”) filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 19, 2024, for the purpose of establishing and designating the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), those two certain Senior Secured Notes issued by the Company, dated as of March 18, 2025, in the original principal amount of $156,250 each (the “March Notes”) and those two certain 20% OID Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company, dated as of April 4, 2025, in the original principal amount of $156,250 each (the “April Notes,” and together with the March Notes, the “Notes”), respectively, to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock and the Notes with 40% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each Eligible Equity Line Transaction (as defined in the Series C COD) in accordance with the mechanics in such sections of the Series C COD and the Notes, mutatus mutandis (the “Mandatory Redemptions”), and (ii) such Mandatory Redemptions shall be paid in order first to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, next to the holders of March Notes and lastly to the holders of April Notes.

  On May 2, 2025, the holders of the Notes accepted in writing the Company’s payoff letter, pursuant to which the Company made a one-time payment to the respective holders in the aggregate amount of $600,000 to retire and fully satisfy the balance of the Notes of $625,000 plus any accrued interest as of such payoff date at a discount. The Notes automatically terminated upon the Company’s payment of such payoff amount and will be of no further effect.

The terms of the Series D Preferred Stock are as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D Certificate of Designations, which was filed and became effective with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 30, 2025. Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.368, which is subject to adjustment as provided in the Series D Certificate of Designations to no lower than $0.274.

 

On April 29, 2025, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities on or before the 15th calendar day following the closing of the Private Placement (the “Closing Date”) and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or before the 45th calendar day following the Closing Date, subject to limited exceptions described therein. The Registrable Securities include, (i) all the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Conversion Shares”), and (ii) any capital stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares or the Series D Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, (1) as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise and (2) shares of capital stock of the Company into which the shares of common stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) are converted or exchanged and shares of capital stock of a Successor Entity (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) into which the shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to certain conditions and limitations and are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to issue shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares is subject to certain limitations set forth in Series D the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants. Prior to receiving stockholder approval, such limitations include a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards, or the Stockholder Approval. We agreed to seek the Stockholder Approval at a meeting to be held no later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day after the closing of the Private Placement. Until such time as we have received the Stockholder Approval, we cannot issue any shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares if such conversion would exceed 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock prior to the Private Placement, which amount is the aggregate number of shares of common stock which we may issue under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq.

 

For additional information on the Private Placement, including additional terms of the Series D Preferred Stock please see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025 and May 1, 2025.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and, as long as we are a smaller reporting company with less than $100 million in annual revenue, we are not required to obtain an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, and those discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any of our subsequent Quarterly Reports, together with other information in this prospectus, the information and documents incorporated by reference herein, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also impair our business, operating results, prospects, or financial condition. If the realization of any of the risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

A sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

The shares of common stock covered by this prospectus represent a large number of shares of our common stock, and, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, such shares of common stock may be sold by the selling stockholders in the public market without restriction. If the selling stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of the shares of common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock may decline. Additionally, such conditions may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our securities.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by the selling stockholders. We may not 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 the investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid to the selling stockholders. Our stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our stock incentive programs.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

 

The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.

 

We expect to require additional capital in the future in order to pursue our strategic goals, including in order to develop our product candidates. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it may be difficult to effectively realize our near- and long-term strategic goals and objectives.

 

Our current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund our research and development efforts for our product candidates, including our lead product candidate, istaroxime. If we cannot secure this additional funding when such funds are required, we may fail to develop our product candidates or be forced to forego certain strategic opportunities.

 

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Requirements

 

Our current cash position, losses, negative cash flows from operations, and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financings. Our ability to continue as a going concern requires that we obtain sufficient funding to finance our operations in the near term.

 

The auditor’s opinion on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that we have incurred recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and current liabilities of $5.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million and current liabilities of $6.5 million. We believe that we have sufficient resources available to fund our business operations through July 2025, but will need additional capital to continue to support our operations beyond July 2025. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, management plans to secure additional capital, potentially through a combination of public or private securities offerings; convertible debt financings; strategic transactions, including potential licensing arrangements, alliances and drug product collaborations focused on specified geographic markets; and/or potential revenues from any future acquisitions of small companies with FDA-approved products as a result of our new corporate strategy announced in January 2025; however, none of these alternatives are committed at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to us to fund continuing operations, if at all, or identify and enter into any strategic transactions that will provide the capital that we will require. If none of these alternatives is available, or if available and we are unable to raise sufficient capital through such transactions, we will not have sufficient cash resources and will experience difficulty in operating as a going concern as a result. Moreover, if such additional financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available in sufficient amounts, we may be required to delay, limit or eliminate the development of business opportunities and our ability to achieve our business objectives and our competitiveness, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected. The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may impede our ability to pursue strategic opportunities or operate our business due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations.

 

Further, under the terms of certain securities purchase agreements that we entered into in July 2024 (the “PIPE Purchase Agreements”), we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing. For additional information, see the risk factor captioned “Under the terms of the PIPE Purchase Agreements, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing.” As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions may be limited, including our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing as needed in the future, on favorable terms, if at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we potentially could be forced to limit or cease our development activities, as well as modify or cease our operations, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, including pursuant to our existing ELOC, could depress the market price of our common stock and could further impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. These conditions are indicators that further impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception, we expect to incur operating losses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

 

We have incurred operating losses since our incorporation on November 6, 1992. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had operating losses of $26.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $846.6 million. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of our common and preferred stock and borrowings from investors and financial institutions. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and current liabilities of $5.7 million.

 

We expect to continue to incur significant research and clinical development, regulatory and other expenses as we (i) develop product candidates; (ii) seek regulatory clearances or approvals for our planned or future product candidates; (iii) conduct clinical trials on our planned or future product candidates; and (iv) manufacture, market, and sell any product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval. As a result, we expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on an ongoing basis. If we do not achieve or sustain profitability, it will be more difficult for us to finance our business and accomplish our strategic objectives, either of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange. These forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events and financial performance and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including such terms as “anticipates,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “continues” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “targets,” or “will” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology, though the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Examples of such risks and uncertainties, which potentially could have a material adverse effect on our development programs, business and/or operations, include, but are not limited to the following:

 

●	our estimates regarding future results of operations, financial position, research and development costs, capital requirements, and our needs for additional financing;
●	how long we can continue to fund our operations with our existing cash and cash equivalents;
●	changes in market conditions, general economic conditions, and the banking sector, and potential constraints in accessing capital or credit if and when needed with favorable terms, if at all;
●	the potential impairment of our intangible assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, which could lead to material impairment charges in the future;
●	our ability to repay indebtedness;
●	potential delays and uncertainties in our anticipated timelines and milestones and additional costs associated with the impact of the evolving events in the Israel-Gaza region, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and trade and political tensions between the United States, or the U.S., and the People’s Republic of China on our clinical trial operations;
●	the costs, timing, and results, of our preclinical studies and clinical trials, as well as the number of required trials for regulatory approval and the criteria for success in such trials;
●	legal and regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries, including any actions or advice that may affect the design, initiation, timing, continuation, progress or outcome of clinical trials or result in the need for additional clinical trials;
●	the difficulties and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval of our product candidates, and the indication and labeling under any such approval;
●	risks related to manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients, drug product, and other materials we need;
●	delays, interruptions or failures in the manufacture and supply of our product candidates;
●	the plans of our licensee, Lee’s Pharmaceutical (HK) Ltd., and its affiliate, Zhaoke Pharmaceutical (Hefei) Co. Ltd., and their ability to successfully source materials, execute necessary clinical and regulatory activities in a timely manner, if at all, to support development and commercialization of the licensed product candidates;

Table of Contents

 

●	the performance of third parties, both foreign and domestic, upon which we depend, including contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, contract laboratories, and independent contractors;
●	the size and growth of the potential markets for our product candidates, the regulatory requirements in such markets, the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, and our ability to serve those markets;
●	the success of competing therapies and products that are or may become available;
●	our ability to limit our exposure under product liability lawsuits;
●	our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates;
●	recently enacted and future legislation, including but not limited to, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, regarding the healthcare system in the U.S. or the healthcare systems in foreign jurisdictions;

●	our ability to secure electronically stored work product, including clinical data, analyses, research, communications, and other materials necessary to gain regulatory approval of our product candidates, including those acquired from third parties, and assure the integrity, proper functionality, and security of our internal computer and information systems and prevent or avoid cyber-attacks, malicious intrusion, breakdown, destruction, security incidents, data privacy violations, or other significant disruption;
●	economic uncertainty resulting from inflation and interest rate fluctuations, including concerns involving liquidity, defaults or other non-performance by financial institutions;
●	our expectations regarding the use of proceeds from sales under our equity line of credit, if any;
●	economic uncertainty resulting from geopolitical instability, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the Middle East, including any escalation or expansion;
●	our ability to successfully implement our new business strategy to generate revenue through acquisitions of small companies and their FDA-approved products; and
●	other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and under similar headings in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical technology companies have suffered significant setbacks conducting clinical trials, even after obtaining promising earlier preclinical and clinical data. In addition, data obtained from clinical trials are susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. After gaining approval of a drug product, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies face considerable challenges in marketing and distributing their products and may never become profitable.

 

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, and financial needs. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur at all. You should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the risk factors set forth in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material.

 

You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any free writing prospectus, and the exhibits included in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part completely and with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, or achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus by these cautionary statements.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Preferred Shares, see “Prospectus Summary⸺Private Placement of Preferred Shares” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

 

The term “selling stockholders” includes the stockholders listed below and their transferees, pledges, donees or other successors-in-interest who may acquire shares from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change after the date of this prospectus and changed information will be presented in a supplement to this prospectus if and when required.

 

Critical Information Concerning the Selling Stockholders

 

The following table sets forth, based on information provided to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders or known to us, the name of the selling stockholders and the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders before and after this offering. Unless otherwise described in the “Material Relationship Between Certain Selling Stockholders and Windtree” below, except for the ownership of the Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders.

 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the Preferred Shares, this prospectus generally covers the resale of 300% of the sum of the maximum number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Series C Certificate of Designations, including payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares through October 29, 2026, determined as if the outstanding Preferred Shares (including payment of 10% dividends on the Preferred Shares through October 29, 2026) were converted in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained therein solely for the purpose of such calculation) at the initial floor price of the Series D Preferred Stock of $0.274. Because the conversion price of the Preferred Shares may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Preferred Shares, a selling stockholder may not convert the Preferred Shares to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares, or the Maximum Percentage. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

The common stock held by the selling stockholders represent a substantial number of our outstanding common stock. The sale of such common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur could significantly impact the price of our common stock. See “Risk Factors⸺ A sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders could cause the price of our common stock to decline” for more information.

Material Relationship Between the Selling Stockholders and Windtree

 

Seven Knots

 

On June 26, 2024, we entered into the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Seven Knots, as an equity line investor, whereby we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Seven Knots, and Seven Knots is obligated to purchase from us up to $23.8 million of newly issued shares of common stock. We will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Seven Knots. Actual sales of shares of our common stock to Seven Knots under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding and our operations. On March 18, 2025, Seven Knots purchased a senior secured note, or a March Note, in an initial principal amount of $156,250 at a 20% original issue discount. On April 4, 2025, Seven Knots also purchased a convertible senior secured note, or an April Note, in an initial principal amount of $156,250 at a 20% original issue discount. We made a one-time payment to Seven Knots on May 2, 2025, in full satisfaction of our obligations under the March Note and the April Note, each of which automatically terminated upon such payment and is of no further effect.

On each of June 9, 2025 (the “June Seven Knots Note”) and July 2, 2025 (the “July Seven Knots Note”), Seven Knots purchased convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $232,550 and $40,698, respectively, for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000 and $35,000, respectively. The June and July Seven Knots Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.587 per share. In connection with the purchases, Seven Knots received warrants to purchase an aggregate of $150,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock an exercise price of $0.587 per share and $8,750 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock an exercise price of $1.10 per share, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the June and July warrants, the exercise prices are subject to adjustment and the warrants are immediately exercisable and expire upon the earlier of (1) five years from the date of issuance or (2) when the warrant is exercised in full. Interest will accrue at a rate of 14% per annum provided, however, that for the first 6 months following the issue date, interest on the principal will accrue immediately and be guaranteed. The June and July Seven Knots Notes have maturity dates of June 9, 2026 and July 2, 2026, respectively. The June and July Seven Knots Notes and associated warrants were issued in a private offering in reliance on exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Keystone

  Keystone Capital Partners, LLC, or Keystone, purchased a March Note and an April Note on March 18, 2025, and April 4, 2025, respectively. We made a one-time payment to Keystone on May 2, 2025, in full satisfaction of our obligations under the March Note and the April Note, each of which automatically terminated upon such payment and is of no further effect.   On each of June 9, 2025 (the “June 9 Keystone Note”), June 24, 2025 (the “June 24 Keystone Note”), and July 2, 2025 (the “July Keystone Note”), Keystone purchased convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $232,550, $58,140, and $40,698, respectively, for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000, $50,000, and $35,000, respectively. The June 9, June 24, and July Keystone Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.587 per share. In connection with the purchases, Keystone received warrants to purchase an aggregate of $150,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock an exercise price of $0.587 per share under the June 9 purchase, $37,500 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock an exercise price of $0.587 per share under the June 24 purchase, and $8,750 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock an exercise price of $1.10 per share under the July 2 purchase, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the June 9, June 24 and July 2 warrants, the exercise prices are subject to adjustment and the warrants are immediately exercisable and expire upon the earlier of (1) five years from the date of issuance or (2) when the warrant is exercised in full. Interest under each of the aforementioned notes will accrue at a rate of 14% per annum provided, however, that for the first 6 months following the issue date, interest on the principal will accrue immediately and be guaranteed. The June 9, June 24 and July 2 Keystone Notes have maturity dates of June 9, 2026, June 24, 2026, and July 2, 2026, respectively. The June 9, June 24 and July 2 Keystone Notes and associated warrants were issued in a private offering in reliance on exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class, will be required to amend certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”), including the provisions relating to amending our By-Laws, procedures for our stockholder meetings, director liability, and exclusive forum for proceedings.

 

Dividends

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds.

 

Liquidation

 

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Rights and Preferences

 

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.

Reverse Stock Splits

 

On April 28, 2020, we filed an amendment to our Charter in order to effect a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of our common stock effective for trading purposes on May 29, 2020. The number of authorized stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000 shares.

 

On February 22, 2023, we filed an amendment to our Charter in order to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of our common stock effective for trading purposes on February 24, 2023. The number of authorized stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000 shares.

 

On April 19, 2024, we filed an amendment to our Charter in order to effect a 1-for-18 reverse stock split of our common stock effective for trading purposes on April 22, 2024. The number of authorized stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000 shares.

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors currently has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock by us could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon a liquidation of us. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us or other corporate action.

 

Of the 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, 40,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 5,500 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 18,820 shares are designated as Series C Preferred Stock, and 5,000 shares are designated as Series D Preferred Stock. As of July 2, 2025, there are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, 573 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, and 3,688 Shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding. 

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws

 

Among other things, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Amended and Restated By-Laws (as amended, the “By-Laws”):

 

●	permit our board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate;
●	provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;
●	provide that, subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, directors may be removed for cause or without cause, which removal may be effected, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the election of the stockholders called and held for that purpose, or by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting called for such purpose, and the vacancy in the board of directors caused by any such removal may be filled by such stockholders or directors, as the case may be, at such meeting, and if the stockholders shall fail to fill such vacancy, such vacancy shall be filled in the manner as provided by the By-Laws;

 

18

Table of Contents

 

●	provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may be filled by the decision of majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, and shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this Section for the filling of other vacancies;
●	provides that stockholders may act via a consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, set forth the action so taken, and is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office in this State, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded;
●	provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;
●	provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, the Chairman of the board of directors, or the Chief Executive Officer; and
●	do not provide for cumulative voting rights, therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

 

The amendment of any of these provisions would require the affirmative vote of the majority of voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote.

 

The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Because our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

 

●	before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
●	upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
●	on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2∕3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:

 

●	any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
●	any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
●	subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
●	any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and
●	the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

 

The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

 

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its certificate of incorporation. We have not opted out of these provisions, which may as a result, discourage or prevent mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts of us.

 

Choice of Forum

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following claims or causes of action brought under Delaware statutory or common law: (1) any derivative claim or action brought on our behalf; (2) any claim or cause of action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty by any of our directors or officers; (3) any claim or cause of action asserting a claim against us arising out of, or pursuant to, the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation or our By-Laws; or (4) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-Laws limit our directors’ liability and may indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for:

 

●	any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
●	any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
●	any unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
●	any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit.

 

The DGCL and our By-Laws provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. Subject to certain limitations, our indemnification agreements also require us to advance expenses incurred by our directors and officers for the defense of any action for which indemnification is required or permitted.

 

We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe that these provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-Laws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

 

At present, there is no material pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought and we are not aware of any threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares to permit the resale of the shares of common stock by the holders of the Preferred Shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

● on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

● in the over-the-counter market;

 

● in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

● through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

● privately negotiated transactions;

 

● short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

● broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

● a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling the shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares of common stock short and deliver the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge the shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

Table of Contents

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Preferred Shares or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $41,403.61 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

 

The following table sets forth the fees and expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered (excluding the underwriting discount and management fee). Except for the SEC registration fee, all amounts are estimates.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

As permitted by Section 102 of the DGCL, we have adopted provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our 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 us or our stockholders;
●	any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
●	any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or
●	any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our By-Laws also authorizes us to indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

 

As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our By-Laws provide that:

 

●	we may indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions; and
●	the rights provided in our By-Laws are not exclusive.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our By-Laws provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. We have entered or will enter into, and intend to continue to enter into, separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

We have purchased and currently intend to maintain insurance on behalf of each and every person who is or was a director or officer of the Company against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.

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;

 

(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 the 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; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) 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 purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act 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.

(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act:

 

(i) the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the 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 the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

 

(ii) 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.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(h) 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 indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
