Table of Contents

 

 

·

our ability to comply with regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies and to maintain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals;

 

 

 

 

·

our ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards;

·

the other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors section of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and our most recent Annual Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which filings are incorporated herein by reference.

 

We urge you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. We further caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

THE COMPANY

 

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2007. We are developing a next-generation enhanced ultrasound technology platform—Thermo Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound, or TAEUS® in order to broaden patient access to the safe diagnosis and treatment of a number of significant medical conditions in circumstances where expensive X-ray computed tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) technology, or other diagnostic technologies such as surgical biopsy, are unavailable or impractical.

 

Our TAEUS technology uses radio frequency (“RF”) pulses to stimulate tissues, using a small fraction (less than 1%) of the amount of energy that would be transmitted into the body during an MRI scan. The use of RF energy allows our TAEUS technology to penetrate deep into tissue, enabling the imaging of human anatomy at depths equivalent to those of conventional ultrasound. The RF pulses are absorbed by tissue and converted into ultrasound signals, which are detected by an external ultrasound receiver and a digital acquisition system that is part of the TAEUS system. The detected ultrasound is processed into images and other forms of data using our proprietary software and algorithms and then displayed to complement conventional gray-scale ultrasound images. The TAEUS imaging concept is illustrated below:

We believe that our TAEUS technology has the potential to add a number of new capabilities to conventional ultrasound, and other types of capital medical equipment such as interventional thermo-ablation systems, and thereby enhance the utility of those systems. Additionally, we believe that our technology can extend the use of ultrasound technology to indications and clinical situations that currently require the use of expensive CT or MRI imaging systems, where imaging is not practical using existing technology, or where other assessment tools such as surgical biopsy are required.

 

Our TAEUS platform is not intended to replace CT or MRI systems, both of which are versatile imaging technologies with capabilities and uses beyond the focus of our business. These systems, while versatile, are relatively expensive—a CT system can cost approximately $1 million and an MRI system can cost up to approximately $3 million. In addition, and in contrast to ultrasound systems, due to their limited number and the fact that they are usually fixed-in-place at major medical facilities, CT or MRI systems are frequently inaccessible to many patients. For example, CT or MRI systems are generally less accessible to primary care practices, rural clinics, economically developing markets, and patient bedsides.

Table of Contents

 

Ultrasound systems are more broadly available to patients than either CT or MRI systems. There are an estimated 1.6 million diagnostic ultrasound systems globally in use today. The global diagnostic ultrasound device market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.07% from 2022 to 2030, according to Grand View Research. Ultrasound systems are relatively inexpensive compared to CT and MRI systems, as smaller portable ultrasound systems can cost as little as approximately $10,000 and the price of new cart-based ultrasound systems can range from approximately $75,000 to $200,000. These numbers include both portable and cart-based ultrasound systems, and cover all types of diagnostic ultrasound procedures, including systems intended for cardiology, prenatal and abdominal use. We do not currently intend to address cart-based ultrasound systems focused on applications in prenatal care, nor certain portable ultrasound applications such as emergency room medicine, where we believe our TAEUS technology may not substantially impact patient care. Accordingly, we estimate the addressable market for one or more of our current or future TAEUS applications as approximately 700,000 ultrasound systems currently in use throughout the world.

 

To demonstrate the capabilities of our TAEUS platform, we have conducted various internal ex-vivo laboratory experiments and limited internal in-vivo large animal studies. In our ex-vivo and in-vivo testing, we have demonstrated that the TAEUS platform has the following capabilities and potential clinical applications:

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Composition: Our TAEUS technology enables ultrasound to distinguish fat from lean tissue. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound for the early identification, staging and monitoring of NAFLD, a precursor to NASH, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

 

 

 

 

·

Temperature Monitoring: Our TAEUS technology enables traditional ultrasound to visualize changes in tissue temperature, in real time. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to guide thermoablative therapy, which uses heat or cold to affect tissue, such as in the treatment of cardiac atrial fibrillation, or removal of cancerous liver and kidney lesions, with greater accuracy, and perform cosmetology procedures such as lipolysis of abdominal fat.

 

 

 

 

·

Vascular Imaging: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to enable visualization of blood vessels from any angle, using only a saline solution contrasting agent, unlike Doppler ultrasound, which requires precise viewing angles. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to assist in identifying arterial plaques or malformed vessels.

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Perfusion: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to image blood flow at the capillary level in a region, organ or tissue. This capability could be used to assist physicians in characterizing abnormalities in tissue perfusion symptomatic of damaged tissue, such as internal bleeding from trauma, or diseased tissue, such as certain cancers.

 

 

 

The first TAEUS application we intend to commercialize is our NAFLD TAEUS application addressing liver tissue composition. Our initial target market for this application is the European Union (“EU”) and United Kingdom. In September 2019, we announced the completion and reported top-level findings of an initial healthy subject study and data collection of 50 subjects, which was included in our TAEUS liver device technical file submission for device CE mark. We received CE mark approval for our TAEUS FLIP (Fatty Liver Imaging Probe) application in March 2020. We have registered the product in each of our primary target European markets (i.e., Germany, France, and the United Kingdom).

 

In June 2020, we submitted a 510(k) Application to the FDA for our TAEUS FLIP System. In February 2022, we announced that we will pursue FDA reclassification and clearance of our TAEUS® FLIP System through the FDA’s “de novo” process. We subsequently voluntarily withdrew our 510(k) application, and on August 14, 2023, we announced the submission of a de novo request for the TAEUS system to the FDA.

 

After required regulatory approvals, our TAEUS technology can be added as an accessory to existing, commercially available ultrasound systems, helping to improve clinical decision-making on the front lines of patient care, without requiring substantially new clinical workflows or large capital investments. We are also developing TAEUS for possible incorporation into new medical equipment manufactured by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), such as GE Healthcare and others, to enhance the utility of those OEM systems, as described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on our design work and our understanding of the medical capital equipment market, we intend to price our initial liver TAEUS system at a price point of approximately $55,000, which we believe could enable clinical purchasers to recoup their investment in less than one year by performing a relatively small number of additional procedures, initially paid out-of-pocket by patients until government and private insurance reimbursement is secured for the TAEUS liver procedures.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK WE MAY OFFER

 

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the preferred stock we may offer. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified entirely by reference to our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to each series of preferred stock. The specific terms of any series will be described in a prospectus supplement. Those terms may differ from the terms discussed below. Any series of preferred stock we issue will be governed by our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and by the certificate of designations relating to that series. We will file the certificate of designations with the SEC and incorporate it by reference as an exhibit to our registration statement at or before the time we issue any preferred stock of that series.

 

Authorized Preferred Stock

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. We have designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), 1,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and 100,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and the remainder of 9,889,000 shares remain authorized but undesignated.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

 

General

 

The debt securities that we may issue will constitute debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of ENDRA, to be issued in one or more series, which may include senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities and senior subordinated debt securities. The particular terms of any series of debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms set forth below may be applicable to a particular series, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series.

 

Debt securities that we may issue will be issued under an indenture between us and a trustee qualified to act as such under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. We have filed the form of the indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. When we refer to the “indenture” in this prospectus, we are referring to the indenture under which the debt securities are issued as supplemented by any supplemental indenture applicable to the debt securities. We will provide the name of the trustee in any prospectus supplement related to the issuance of debt securities, and we will also provide certain other information related to the trustee, including describing any relationship we have with the trustee, in such prospectus supplement.

 

THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE. IT DOES NOT RESTATE THE INDENTURE IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE INDENTURE IS GOVERNED BY THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT OF 1939. THE TERMS OF THE DEBT SECURITIES INCLUDE THOSE STATED IN THE INDENTURE AND THOSE MADE PART OF THE INDENTURE BY REFERENCE TO THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT. WE URGE YOU TO READ THE INDENTURE BECAUSE IT, AND NOT THIS DESCRIPTION, DEFINES YOUR RIGHTS AS A HOLDER OF THE DEBT SECURITIES.

 

Information You Will Find in the Prospectus Supplement

 

The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series and that we may denominate the debt securities and make them payable in foreign currencies. The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that can be issued thereunder. The prospectus supplement for a series of debt securities will provide information relating to the terms of the series of debt securities being offered, which may include:

 

 

·

the title and denominations of the debt securities of the series;

·

the terms, if any, upon which the debt securities of the series may be convertible into or exchanged for other securities, including, among other things, the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and the conversion or exchange period;

 

 

 

 

·

if the amount of principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to the debt securities of the series may be determined with reference to an index or formula, the manner in which such amounts will be determined;

·

any changes or additions to the provisions of the indenture dealing with defeasance, including any additional covenants that may be subject to our covenant defeasance option;

·

the portion of the principal amount of debt securities of the series which will be payable upon declaration of acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or the method by which such portion or amount shall be determined;

 

 

 

 

·

·

the subordination, ranking or priority, if any, of the debt securities of the series and terms of the subordination; and

 

 

 

 

·

any other terms of the debt securities of the series which are not prohibited by the indenture.

 

Holders of debt securities may present debt securities for exchange in the manner, at the places, and subject to the restrictions set forth in the debt securities, the indenture, and the prospectus supplement. We will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, but subject to the limitations provided in the indenture, any board resolution establishing such debt securities and any applicable indenture supplement.

 

Senior Debt

 

We may issue senior debt securities under the indenture. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable indenture supplement and described in a prospectus supplement, the senior debt securities will be senior unsecured obligations, ranking equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt. The senior debt securities will be senior to all of our subordinated debt and junior to any secured debt we may incur as to the assets securing such debt.

 

Subordinated Debt

 

We may issue subordinated debt securities under the indenture. These subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the indenture and any applicable indenture supplement, to all of our senior indebtedness.

 

 
10

Table of Contents

 

If this prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of subordinated debt securities, the accompanying prospectus supplement or the information incorporated by reference will set forth the approximate amount of senior indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.

 

Senior Subordinated Debt

 

We may issue senior subordinated debt securities under the indenture. These senior subordinated debt securities will be, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the applicable indenture supplement, subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our “senior indebtedness” and senior to our other subordinated debt. See the discussions above under “—Senior Debt” and “—Subordinated Debt” for a more detailed explanation of our senior and subordinated indebtedness.

 

Interest Rate

 

Debt securities that bear interest will do so at a fixed rate or a variable rate. We may sell, at a discount below the stated principal amount, any debt securities which bear no interest or which bear interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate. The relevant prospectus supplement will describe the special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to:

 

 

·

any discounted debt securities; and

 

 

 

 

·

any debt securities issued at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

Registered Global Securities

 

We may issue registered debt securities of a series in the form of one or more fully registered global securities. We will deposit the registered global security with a depository or with a nominee for a depository identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. The global security or global securities will represent and will be in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding registered debt securities of the series to be represented by the registered global security or securities. Unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred, except as a whole in three cases:

 

 

·

by the depository for the registered global security to a nominee of the depository;

 

 

 

 

·

by a nominee of the depository to the depository or another nominee of the depository; and

 

 

 

 

·

by the depository or any nominee to a successor of the depository or a nominee of the successor.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of the depository arrangement concerning any portion of that series of debt securities to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will generally apply to all depository arrangements.

 

Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depository will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the registered global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with the depository. These persons are referred to as “participants.” Any underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of debt securities represented by the registered global security will designate the accounts to be credited. Only participants or persons that hold interests through participants will be able to beneficially own interests in a registered global security. The depository for a global security will maintain records of beneficial ownership interests in a registered global security for participants. Participants or persons that hold through participants will maintain records of beneficial ownership interests in a global security for persons other than participants. These records will be the only means to transfer beneficial ownership in a registered global security.

 

The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in global securities.

 

 
11

Table of Contents

 

So long as the depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, the depository or its nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security:

 

 

·

may not have the debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in their names;

 

 

 

 

·

will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities represented by a registered global security in definitive form; and

 

 

 

 

·

will not be considered the owners or holders of debt securities represented by a registered global security under the indenture.

 

Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depository for the registered global security and, if the person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interests, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture applicable to the registered global security.

 

We understand that, under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depository for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

 

Payment of Interest on and Principal of Registered Global Securities

 

We will make principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depository or its nominee to the depository or its nominee as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of ENDRA, the trustee, or any paying agent for debt securities represented by a registered global security will have any responsibility or liability for:

 

 

·

any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in such registered global security;

 

 

 

 

·

maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests;

 

 

 

 

·

the payments to beneficial owners of the global security of amounts paid to the depository or its nominee; or

 

 

 

 

·

any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the depository, its nominee or any of its participants.

 

We expect that the depository, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of the global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their beneficial interests in the principal amount of a registered global security as shown on the depository’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices. This is currently the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of participants.

 

Exchange of Registered Global Securities

 

We may issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security if both of the following occur:

 

 

·

the depository for any debt securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; and

 

 

 

 

·

we do not appoint a successor depository within 90 days.

 

 
12

Table of Contents

 

In addition, we may, at any time, determine not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities. In this event, we will issue debt securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for all of the registered global security or securities representing those debt securities.

 

Covenants by ENDRA

 

The indenture includes covenants by us, including among other things that we will make all payments of principal and interest at the times and places required. The supplemental indenture establishing each series of debt securities may contain additional covenants, including covenants which could restrict our right to incur additional indebtedness or liens and to take certain actions with respect to our businesses and assets.

 

Events of Default

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following will be events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indenture:

 

 

·

failure to pay when due any interest on any debt security of that series, continued for 30 days;

 

 

 

 

·

failure to pay when due the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any debt security of that series;

 

 

 

 

·

failure to perform any other covenant or agreement of ours under the indenture or the supplemental indenture with respect to that series or the debt securities of that series, continued for 90 days after written notice to us by the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series to which the covenant or agreement relates;

 

 

 

 

·

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us; and

 

 

 

 

·

any other event of default specified in any supplemental indenture under which such series of debt securities is issued.

 

Except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us and except as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, if any event of default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of debt securities under the indenture, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may accelerate the maturity of all debt securities of such series. Upon certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us, the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all debt securities of each series shall be immediately due and payable.

 

After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each affected series of debt securities may waive all defaults with respect to such series and rescind and annul such acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied.

 

No holder of any debt securities will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless such holder shall have previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default and the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series shall have made written request and offered indemnity satisfactory to the trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such debt security.

 

Supplemental Indentures

 

We and the trustee may, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to or consent of any holders of debt securities, enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the indenture, among other things:

 

 

·

to add guarantees to or secure any series of debt securities;

 

 
13

Table of Contents

 

 

·

to provide for the succession of another person pursuant to the provisions of the indenture relating to consolidations, mergers and sales of assets and the assumption by such successor of our covenants, agreements, and obligations, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of the indenture relating to consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets;

 

 

 

 

·

to surrender any right or power conferred upon us under the indenture or to add to our covenants further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of all or any series of debt securities;

 

 

 

 

·

to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the indenture, in any supplemental indenture or in any debt securities that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained therein;

 

 

 

 

·

to modify or amend the indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of the indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

 

 

 

·

to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to supplement any of the provisions of the indenture in order to permit the defeasance and discharge of any series of debt securities pursuant to the indenture, so long as any such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities of any series in any material respect;

 

 

 

 

·

to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture with respect to one or more series of debt securities, so long as any such addition, change or elimination shall not apply to any debt securities of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision;

 

 

 

 

·

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate trustee; and

 

 

 

 

·

to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series and to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities.

 

With the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of debt securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (each series voting as one class), we and the trustee may enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of debt securities of each such series.

 

Notwithstanding our rights and the rights of the trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures with the consent of the holders of debt securities of the affected series as described above, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the affected series, among other things:

 

 

·

change the final maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any debt securities;

 

 

 

 

·

reduce the principal amount of any debt securities or the rate of interest on any debt securities;

 

 

 

 

·

change the currency in which any debt securities are payable;

 

 

 

 

·

impair the right of the holders to conduct a proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee;

 

 

 

 

·

reduce the percentage in principal amount of any series of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment or supplemental indenture;

 

 

 

 

·

modify the ranking or priority of the securities; or

 

 

 

 

·

reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities.

Table of Contents

 

Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Defeasance

 

Except to the extent set forth in a supplemental indenture with respect to any series of debt securities, we, at our election, may discharge the indenture and the indenture shall generally cease to be of any further effect with respect to that series of debt securities if (a) we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of that series (with certain limited exceptions) or (b) all debt securities of that series not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee the entire amount sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such debt securities.

 

In addition, we have a “legal defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, all of our obligations under such debt securities and the indenture with respect to such debt securities) and a “covenant defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, our obligations with respect to such debt securities under certain specified covenants contained in the indenture). If we exercise our legal defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default related to the specified covenants.

 

We may exercise our legal defeasance option or our covenant defeasance option with respect to the debt securities of a series only if we irrevocably deposit in trust with the trustee cash or U.S. government obligations (as defined in the indenture) for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to such debt securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be. In addition, to exercise either of our defeasance options, we must comply with certain other conditions, including the delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable Federal income tax law).

 

The trustee will hold in trust the cash or U.S. government obligations deposited with it as described above and will apply the deposited cash and the proceeds from deposited U.S. government obligations to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the debt securities of the defeased series.

 

Mergers, Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets

 

We may not:

 

 

·

consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity or permit any other person or entity to consolidate with or merge into us in a transaction in which we are not the surviving entity, or

 

 

 

 

·

transfer, lease or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to any other person or entity, unless:

 

 

o

the resulting, surviving or transferee entity shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and such resulting, surviving or transferee entity shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered in form satisfactory to the trustee, all of our obligations under the debt securities and the indenture;

 

 

 

 

o

immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by such entity at the time of such transaction), no default or event of default would occur or be continuing; and

 

 

 

 

o

we shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture.

 

The phrase “substantially all” of our assets will likely be interpreted under applicable state law and will be dependent upon particular facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or transfer of “substantially all” of our assets has occurred.

 

 
15

Table of Contents

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

 

No director, officer, incorporator or stockholder of ENDRA, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of ENDRA under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation, solely by reason of his, her, or its status as director, officer, incorporator or stockholder of ENDRA. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability, but only such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the debt securities. Nevertheless, such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it has been the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights

 

Any debt securities offered hereby may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our equity or other securities. The terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Such terms may include, among others, the following:

 

 

·

the conversion or exchange price;

 

 

 

 

·

the conversion or exchange period;

 

 

 

 

·

provisions regarding our ability or that of the holder to convert or exchange the debt securities;

 

 

 

 

·

events requiring adjustment to the conversion or exchange price; and

 

 

 

 

·

provisions affecting conversion or exchange in the event of our redemption of such debt securities.

 

Concerning the Trustee

 

The indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee with respect to one or more series of debt securities. If there are different trustees for different series of debt securities, each trustee will be a trustee of a trust under a supplemental indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee under such indenture. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a trustee may be taken by the trustee only with respect to the one or more series of debt securities for which it is the trustee under an indenture. Any trustee under the indenture or a supplemental indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities. All payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all registration, transfer, exchange authentication and delivery (including authentication and delivery on original issuance of the debt securities) of, the debt securities of a series will be effected by the trustee with respect to such series at an office designated by the trustee.

 

The indenture contains limitations on the right of the trustee, should it become a creditor of ENDRA, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. If the trustee acquires an interest that conflicts with any duties with respect to the debt securities, the trustee is required to either resign or eliminate such conflicting interest to the extent and in the manner provided by the indenture.

Warrants for the purchase of preferred stock and common stock will be offered and exercisable for U.S. dollars only.

 

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of preferred stock or common stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. We will specify the place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock or common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities, preferred stock or common stock purchasable upon exercise.

 

As of February 13, 2024, warrants to purchase a total of 882,349 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.58 per share were outstanding. Warrants to purchase a total of 597 shares of common stock expire in December 2024 and have an exercise price of $19.80 per share.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Delaware Law

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination (as defined below) with any interested stockholder (as defined below) for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

 

·

prior to that 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 consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares of voting stock outstanding (but not the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by persons who are directors and officers and by excluding 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 subsequent to the time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

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

 

 

·

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

 

 

 

·

any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, 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;

 

 

 

 

·

subject to limited exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

 

 

 

·

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

Section 203 generally defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or who beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within a three-year period immediately prior to the date of determining whether such person is an interested stockholder, and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons.

Table of Contents

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

 

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of us. Certain of these provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued common stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

Cumulative Voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would allow holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors.

 

Vacancies. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that all vacancies may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders. A special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the board of directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, or the board of directors at any time and for any purpose or purposes as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting, or by request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock. This provision could prevent stockholders from calling a special meeting because, unless certain significant stockholders were to join with them, they might not obtain the percentage necessary to request the meeting. Therefore, stockholders holding less than 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock, without the assistance of management, may be unable to propose a vote on any transaction that would delay, defer or prevent a change of control, even if the transaction were in the best interests of our stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to one or more underwriters or dealers for public offering, through agents, directly to purchasers or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The name of any such underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offer and sale of the securities, the amounts underwritten and the nature of its obligation to take the securities will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell the securities directly to investors on our own behalf in those jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so. The sale of the securities may be effected in transactions (a) on any national or international securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (b) in the over-the-counter market, (c) in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or (d) through the writing of options.

 

We and our agents and underwriters may offer and sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered on an exchange, which will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as our agents, to offer and sell the securities upon such terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also sell the securities offered by any applicable prospectus supplement in “at-the-market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise.

 

If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement to the extent required by applicable law. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

 

Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase debt securities as a principal, and may then resell the debt securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

 

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to purchase offered securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including any liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. These may include over-allotment, stabilization, syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by the dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time.

Table of Contents

 

Any securities other than our common stock issued hereunder may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom such securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any such securities. The amount of expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with any issuance of securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, us and certain of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus we are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes us, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our shares of common stock.

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. has entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (the “Sales Agent”) relating to the offer and sale of up to $6,200,000 of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus form a part, we and the Sales Agent are terminating our previous At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated June 21, 2021.

 

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the trading market for our common stock, or any other trading market in the United States for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, directly to the Sales Agent as principal for its own account in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. The Sales Agent will act as sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

We will pay the Sales Agent a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of common stock issued by us and sold through the Sales Agent as our sales agent under the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

As of February 14, 2024, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates was $27,200,435 based on 11,035,659 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 10,880,174 shares are held by non-affiliates, and the last reported sale price of our common stock of $2.50 per share on December 22, 2023. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus forms part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may from time to time sell any combination of securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

 

In this prospectus supplement, the terms “ENDRA,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires.

You should read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus together with additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. The information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in any free writing prospectuses we may provide to you in connection with this offering is accurate only as of their respective dates, regardless of time of delivery.

The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the offering of the securities in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the securities and the distribution of this prospectus supplement outside the United States. This prospectus supplement does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

 

All references in this prospectus to our consolidated financial statements include, unless the context indicates otherwise, the related notes.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “goal,” “anticipate,” “project” or other comparable terms. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside our control.

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

 

 

 

·

our limited commercial experience, limited cash and history of losses;

our ability to obtain adequate financing to fund our business operations in the future;

THE COMPANY

 

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2007. We are developing a next-generation enhanced ultrasound technology platform—Thermo Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound, or TAEUS® in order to broaden patient access to the safe diagnosis and treatment of a number of significant medical conditions in circumstances where expensive X-ray computed tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) technology, or other diagnostic technologies such as surgical biopsy, are unavailable or impractical.

 

Our TAEUS technology uses radio frequency (“RF”) pulses to stimulate tissues, using a small fraction (less than 1%) of the amount of energy that would be transmitted into the body during an MRI scan. The use of RF energy allows our TAEUS technology to penetrate deep into tissue, enabling the imaging of human anatomy at depths equivalent to those of conventional ultrasound. The RF pulses are absorbed by tissue and converted into ultrasound signals, which are detected by an external ultrasound receiver and a digital acquisition system that is part of the TAEUS system. The detected ultrasound is processed into images and other forms of data using our proprietary software and algorithms and then displayed to complement conventional gray-scale ultrasound images. The TAEUS imaging concept is illustrated below:

We believe that our TAEUS technology has the potential to add a number of new capabilities to conventional ultrasound, and other types of capital medical equipment such as interventional thermo-ablation systems, and thereby enhance the utility of those systems. Additionally, we believe that our technology can extend the use of ultrasound technology to indications and clinical situations that currently require the use of expensive CT or MRI imaging systems, where imaging is not practical using existing technology, or where other assessment tools such as surgical biopsy are required.

 

Our TAEUS platform is not intended to replace CT or MRI systems, both of which are versatile imaging technologies with capabilities and uses beyond the focus of our business. These systems, while versatile, are relatively expensive—a CT system can cost approximately $1 million and an MRI system can cost up to approximately $3 million. In addition, and in contrast to ultrasound systems, due to their limited number and the fact that they are usually fixed-in-place at major medical facilities, CT or MRI systems are frequently inaccessible to many patients. For example, CT or MRI systems are generally less accessible to primary care practices, rural clinics, economically developing markets, and patient bedsides.

Ultrasound systems are more broadly available to patients than either CT or MRI systems. There are an estimated 1.6 million diagnostic ultrasound systems globally in use today. The global diagnostic ultrasound device market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.07% from 2022 to 2030, according to Grand View Research. Ultrasound systems are relatively inexpensive compared to CT and MRI systems, as smaller portable ultrasound systems can cost as little as approximately $10,000 and the price of new cart-based ultrasound systems can range from approximately $75,000 to $200,000. These numbers include both portable and cart-based ultrasound systems, and cover all types of diagnostic ultrasound procedures, including systems intended for cardiology, prenatal and abdominal use. We do not currently intend to address cart-based ultrasound systems focused on applications in prenatal care, nor certain portable ultrasound applications such as emergency room medicine, where we believe our TAEUS technology may not substantially impact patient care. Accordingly, we estimate the addressable market for one or more of our current or future TAEUS applications as approximately 700,000 ultrasound systems currently in use throughout the world.

 

To demonstrate the capabilities of our TAEUS platform, we have conducted various internal ex-vivo laboratory experiments and limited internal in-vivo large animal studies. In our ex-vivo and in-vivo testing, we have demonstrated that the TAEUS platform has the following capabilities and potential clinical applications:

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Composition: Our TAEUS technology enables ultrasound to distinguish fat from lean tissue. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound for the early identification, staging and monitoring of NAFLD, a precursor to NASH, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

 

 

 

 

·

Temperature Monitoring: Our TAEUS technology enables traditional ultrasound to visualize changes in tissue temperature, in real time. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to guide thermoablative therapy, which uses heat or cold to affect tissue, such as in the treatment of cardiac atrial fibrillation, or removal of cancerous liver and kidney lesions, with greater accuracy, and perform cosmetology procedures such as lipolysis of abdominal fat.

 

 

 

 

·

Vascular Imaging: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to enable visualization of blood vessels from any angle, using only a saline solution contrasting agent, unlike Doppler ultrasound, which requires precise viewing angles. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to assist in identifying arterial plaques or malformed vessels.

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Perfusion: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to image blood flow at the capillary level in a region, organ or tissue. This capability could be used to assist physicians in characterizing abnormalities in tissue perfusion symptomatic of damaged tissue, such as internal bleeding from trauma, or diseased tissue, such as certain cancers.

 

 

 

The first TAEUS application we intend to commercialize is our NAFLD TAEUS application addressing liver tissue composition. Our initial target market for this application is the European Union (“EU”) and United Kingdom. In September 2019, we announced the completion and reported top-level findings of an initial healthy subject study and data collection of 50 subjects, which was included in our TAEUS liver device technical file submission for device CE mark. We received CE mark approval for our TAEUS FLIP (Fatty Liver Imaging Probe) application in March 2020. We have registered the product in each of our primary target European markets (i.e., Germany, France, and the United Kingdom).

 

In June 2020, we submitted a 510(k) Application to the FDA for our TAEUS FLIP System. In February 2022, we announced that we will pursue FDA reclassification and clearance of our TAEUS® FLIP System through the FDA’s “de novo” process. We subsequently voluntarily withdrew our 510(k) application, and on August 14, 2023, we announced the submission of a de novo request for the TAEUS system to the FDA.

 

After required regulatory approvals, our TAEUS technology can be added as an accessory to existing, commercially available ultrasound systems, helping to improve clinical decision-making on the front lines of patient care, without requiring substantially new clinical workflows or large capital investments. We are also developing TAEUS for possible incorporation into new medical equipment manufactured by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), such as GE Healthcare and others, to enhance the utility of those OEM systems, as described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on our design work and our understanding of the medical capital equipment market, we intend to price our initial liver TAEUS system at a price point of approximately $55,000, which we believe could enable clinical purchasers to recoup their investment in less than one year by performing a relatively small number of additional procedures, initially paid out-of-pocket by patients until government and private insurance reimbursement is secured for the TAEUS liver procedures.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year (together with any material changes thereto contained in subsequent filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) and those contained in our other filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

The prospectus supplement applicable to each type or series of securities we offer may contain a discussion of risks applicable to the particular types of securities that we are offering under that prospectus supplement. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our securities to decline. You could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering of Our Common Stock

 

Sales of our common stock in this offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6.2 million from time to time in connection with this offering. The issuance and sale from time to time of these new shares of common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of common stock in this offering, could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock.

 

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock that you purchase in this offering.

 

The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices; however, the assumed public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock.  Therefore, investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 5,535,714 shares of our common stock are sold at a public offering price of $1.12 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 13, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.9 million, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $0.32 per share, representing the difference between the assumed public offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you would incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and our stockholders will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decisions to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. You may not agree with our decisions, and our use of the proceeds may not yield any return on your investment. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our failure to apply the net proceeds of this offering effectively could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, in our investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use our net proceeds from this offering.

Table of Contents

 

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market” offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

 

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the Sales Agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Sales Agent after we deliver a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares, if any, that will ultimately be issued.

 

Our stock price and trading volume has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future for reasons unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, and as a result, investors in our common stock could incur substantial losses.

 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. During 2024 to date, daily trading volume ranged from approximately 20,900 to approximately 334,800 shares. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for healthcare companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock.

 

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our common stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

 

Additionally, recently, securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to a sudden increase in demand for stock resulting in aggregate short positions in the stock exceeding the number of shares available for purchase, forcing investors with short exposure to pay a premium to repurchase shares for delivery to share lenders. This is known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share declines steadily as interest in those stocks abates. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that they will not be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from their underlying value.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6.2 million from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions paid to the Sales Agent and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering may be up to approximately $5.9 million, after deducting commissions payable to the Sales Agent and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We currently intend to use the estimated net proceeds from the sale of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to fund our product development efforts and to fund our commercialization activities for our TAEUS technology. We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purposes or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to maintain the net proceeds as cash deposits or cash management instruments, such as U.S. government securities or money market mutual funds.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share in this offering and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering.

 

Net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 was approximately $5.2 million, or $0.62 per share of common stock. After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $6.2 million at an assumed public offering price of $1.12 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 13, 2024, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been approximately $11.1 million, or approximately $0.80 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.18 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.32 per share to new investors in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis. The as adjusted information is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price, the actual number of shares sold and other terms of the offering determined at the time shares of our common stock are sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement. The as adjusted information assumes that all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $6.2 million is sold at the assumed public offering price of $1.12 per share. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices.

The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $0.12 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $1.12 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $6.2 million is sold at that price, would increase our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $0.83 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $0.41 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.12 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $1.12 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $6.2 million is sold at that price, would decrease our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $0.76 per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $0.24 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only, and will adjust based on the actual offering prices, the actual number of shares that we offer and sell in this offering and other terms of each sale of shares in this offering.

 

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offer is based on 8,411,777 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and excludes the following:

 

 

·

2,468,063 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.51 per share;

 

 

 

 

·

8,126 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

 

 

 

 

·

624,240 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options issued pursuant to our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) at a weighted average exercise price of $19.25 per share; and

 

 

 

 

·

697,929 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our Incentive Plan.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as Sales Agent, under which we may issue and sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $6.2 million through the Sales Agent acting as sales agent or directly to a Sales Agent acting as principal. This prospectus supplement relates to our ability to issue and sell over a period of time, and from time to time, shares of our common stock to or through the Sales Agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales of the shares to which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the trading market for our common stock, or any other trading market in the Unites States for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, directly to the Sales Agent as principal for its account in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Sales Agent acting as our sales agent will not engage in any transactions that stabilize our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

 

Upon written instructions from us, the Sales Agent will offer the shares of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Sales Agent. We will designate the maximum amount of shares of our common stock to be sold through the Sales Agent on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with the Sales Agent, subject to certain limitations set forth by the SEC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of our common stock so designated or determined. We may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell shares of our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. The Sales Agent may also sell our common stock in negotiated transactions with our prior approval. We or the Sales Agent may suspend the offering of shares of our common stock being made under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party.

 

For their services as sales agent in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock that may be offered hereby, we will pay the Sales Agent an aggregate fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share for any shares sold through it acting as our sales agent. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such shares. We have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed $10,000, and, thereafter, reasonable fees and expenses of the Sales Agent’s incurred in conjunction of performing legal services related to the Sales Agreement for the Company.

 

The Sales Agent will provide written confirmation to us no later than the opening of the trading day immediately following the day in which shares of common stock are sold by it on our behalf under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the compensation payable by us to the Sales Agent and the proceeds to us net of such compensation.

 

Settlement for sales of our common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the second business day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the proceeds to us net of compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

Unless otherwise required, we will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to the Sales Agent in connection with the sales of common stock.

Table of Contents

 

In connection with the sale of common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to it will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed, under the Sales Agreement, to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

In the ordinary course of its business, the Sales Agent and/or its affiliates may perform investment banking, broker-dealer, financial advisory or other services for us for which it may receive separate fees.

 

We estimate that the total expenses from this offering payable by us, excluding compensation payable to the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $80,000. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel incurred in connection with quarterly and annual bring-downs required under the Sales Agreement in an amount not to exceed $2,500 in the aggregate for each such bring-down.

 

The offering of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of $6.2 million subject to the Sales Agreement, (2) February 14, 2027 and (3) the termination of the Sales Agreement, pursuant to its terms, by either the Sales Agent or us.

 

The Company and the Sales Agent may in the future agree to add one or more additional sales agents to the offering, in which case the Company will file a further prospectus supplement providing the name of such additional sales agents and any other required information.

THE COMPANY

 

We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2007. We are developing a next-generation enhanced ultrasound technology platform—Thermo Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound, or TAEUS® in order to broaden patient access to the safe diagnosis and treatment of a number of significant medical conditions in circumstances where expensive X-ray computed tomography (“CT”), magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) technology, or other diagnostic technologies such as surgical biopsy, are unavailable or impractical.

 

Our TAEUS technology uses radio frequency (“RF”) pulses to stimulate tissues, using a small fraction (less than 1%) of the amount of energy that would be transmitted into the body during an MRI scan. The use of RF energy allows our TAEUS technology to penetrate deep into tissue, enabling the imaging of human anatomy at depths equivalent to those of conventional ultrasound. The RF pulses are absorbed by tissue and converted into ultrasound signals, which are detected by an external ultrasound receiver and a digital acquisition system that is part of the TAEUS system. The detected ultrasound is processed into images and other forms of data using our proprietary software and algorithms and then displayed to complement conventional gray-scale ultrasound images. The TAEUS imaging concept is illustrated below:

We believe that our TAEUS technology has the potential to add a number of new capabilities to conventional ultrasound, and other types of capital medical equipment such as interventional thermo-ablation systems, and thereby enhance the utility of those systems. Additionally, we believe that our technology can extend the use of ultrasound technology to indications and clinical situations that currently require the use of expensive CT or MRI imaging systems, where imaging is not practical using existing technology, or where other assessment tools such as surgical biopsy are required.

 

Our TAEUS platform is not intended to replace CT or MRI systems, both of which are versatile imaging technologies with capabilities and uses beyond the focus of our business. These systems, while versatile, are relatively expensive—a CT system can cost approximately $1 million and an MRI system can cost up to approximately $3 million. In addition, and in contrast to ultrasound systems, due to their limited number and the fact that they are usually fixed-in-place at major medical facilities, CT or MRI systems are frequently inaccessible to many patients. For example, CT or MRI systems are generally less accessible to primary care practices, rural clinics, economically developing markets, and patient bedsides.

Table of Contents

 

Ultrasound systems are more broadly available to patients than either CT or MRI systems. There are an estimated 1.6 million diagnostic ultrasound systems globally in use today. The global diagnostic ultrasound device market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.07% from 2022 to 2030, according to Grand View Research. Ultrasound systems are relatively inexpensive compared to CT and MRI systems, as smaller portable ultrasound systems can cost as little as approximately $10,000 and the price of new cart-based ultrasound systems can range from approximately $75,000 to $200,000. These numbers include both portable and cart-based ultrasound systems, and cover all types of diagnostic ultrasound procedures, including systems intended for cardiology, prenatal and abdominal use. We do not currently intend to address cart-based ultrasound systems focused on applications in prenatal care, nor certain portable ultrasound applications such as emergency room medicine, where we believe our TAEUS technology may not substantially impact patient care. Accordingly, we estimate the addressable market for one or more of our current or future TAEUS applications as approximately 700,000 ultrasound systems currently in use throughout the world.

 

To demonstrate the capabilities of our TAEUS platform, we have conducted various internal ex-vivo laboratory experiments and limited internal in-vivo large animal studies. In our ex-vivo and in-vivo testing, we have demonstrated that the TAEUS platform has the following capabilities and potential clinical applications:

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Composition: Our TAEUS technology enables ultrasound to distinguish fat from lean tissue. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound for the early identification, staging and monitoring of NAFLD, a precursor to NASH, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

 

 

 

 

·

Temperature Monitoring: Our TAEUS technology enables traditional ultrasound to visualize changes in tissue temperature, in real time. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to guide thermoablative therapy, which uses heat or cold to affect tissue, such as in the treatment of cardiac atrial fibrillation, or removal of cancerous liver and kidney lesions, with greater accuracy, and perform cosmetology procedures such as lipolysis of abdominal fat.

 

 

 

 

·

Vascular Imaging: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to enable visualization of blood vessels from any angle, using only a saline solution contrasting agent, unlike Doppler ultrasound, which requires precise viewing angles. This capability would enable the use of TAEUS-enhanced ultrasound to assist in identifying arterial plaques or malformed vessels.

 

 

 

 

·

Tissue Perfusion: Our TAEUS technology has the potential to image blood flow at the capillary level in a region, organ or tissue. This capability could be used to assist physicians in characterizing abnormalities in tissue perfusion symptomatic of damaged tissue, such as internal bleeding from trauma, or diseased tissue, such as certain cancers.

 

 

 

The first TAEUS application we intend to commercialize is our NAFLD TAEUS application addressing liver tissue composition. Our initial target market for this application is the European Union (“EU”) and United Kingdom. In September 2019, we announced the completion and reported top-level findings of an initial healthy subject study and data collection of 50 subjects, which was included in our TAEUS liver device technical file submission for device CE mark. We received CE mark approval for our TAEUS FLIP (Fatty Liver Imaging Probe) application in March 2020. We have registered the product in each of our primary target European markets (i.e., Germany, France, and the United Kingdom).

In June 2020, we submitted a 510(k) Application to the FDA for our TAEUS FLIP System. In February 2022, we announced that we will pursue FDA reclassification and clearance of our TAEUS® FLIP System through the FDA’s “de novo” process. We subsequently voluntarily withdrew our 510(k) application, and on August 14, 2023, we announced the submission of a de novo request for the TAEUS system to the FDA.

 

After required regulatory approvals, our TAEUS technology can be added as an accessory to existing, commercially available ultrasound systems, helping to improve clinical decision-making on the front lines of patient care, without requiring substantially new clinical workflows or large capital investments. We are also developing TAEUS for possible incorporation into new medical equipment manufactured by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), such as GE Healthcare and others, to enhance the utility of those OEM systems, as described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on our design work and our understanding of the medical capital equipment market, we intend to price our initial liver TAEUS system at a price point of approximately $55,000, which we believe could enable clinical purchasers to recoup their investment in less than one year by performing a relatively small number of additional procedures, initially paid out-of-pocket by patients until government and private insurance reimbursement is secured for the TAEUS liver procedures.

Table of Contents

 

If the Selling Stockholder effects such transactions by selling 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver 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 Stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The Selling Stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by it 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. The Selling Stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

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 the 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 Stockholder 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, 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 Stockholder and any other participating person. 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 Restricted Stock Agreement, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Restricted Stock Agreement, or the Selling Stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholder 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 Restricted Stock Agreement, 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.

 

The 202,020 shares of common stock previously issued to PatentVest will be available for sale in the public market following the vesting of such shares pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement. Until such shares of common stock vest, the shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, disposed of or otherwise encumbered.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Delaware Law

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination (as defined below) with any interested stockholder (as defined below) for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

 

·

prior to that 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 consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares of voting stock outstanding (but not the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by persons who are directors and officers and by excluding 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 subsequent to the time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

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

 

 

·

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

 

 

 

·

any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, 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;

 

 

 

 

·

subject to limited exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

 

 

 

 

·

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

Section 203 generally defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or who beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within a three-year period immediately prior to the date of determining whether such person is an interested stockholder, and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons.

Table of Contents

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

 

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of us. Certain of these provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued common stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

Cumulative Voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would allow holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors.

 

Vacancies. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that all vacancies may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders. A special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the board of directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, or the board of directors at any time and for any purpose or purposes as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting, or by request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock. This provision could prevent stockholders from calling a special meeting because, unless certain significant stockholders were to join with them, they might not obtain the percentage necessary to request the meeting. Therefore, stockholders holding less than 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock, without the assistance of management, may be unable to propose a vote on any transaction that would delay, defer or prevent a change of control, even if the transaction were in the best interests of our stockholders.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of any statutes referred to below and the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of ENDRA Life Sciences Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, Section 145 of the DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL also permits a Delaware corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

 

Article NINTH of our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty can be limited or eliminated except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

 
16

 

 

Article EIGHTH of our Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify (and advance expenses to) our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

All of the Company’s directors and officers are covered by insurance policies maintained by the Company against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors.

 

As permitted by the DGCL, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify them against various actions including, but not limited to, third-party actions where such director or executive officer, by reason of his or her corporate status, is a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action, or by reason of anything done or not done by such director in any such capacity. We indemnify directors and executive officers against all costs, judgments, penalties, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of such directors or executive officers and for any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such directors or executive officers in connection with such action, if such directors or executive officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. We also intend to advance to our directors and executive officers expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by or on behalf of such directors and executive officers in advance of the final disposition of any action after our receipt of a statement or statements from directors or executive officers requesting such payment or payments from time to time, provided that such statement or statements are preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such directors or executive officers, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses by us.

 

The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses, including, among others, provisions about submitting a written request to us that includes such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the director or executive officer and is reasonably necessary to determine entitlement to indemnification and provisions.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

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 provisions described under Item 15 or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification by it 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.

 

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 this 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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act 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 this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

 

provided, however, that subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser if the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: (A) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (B) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
