SUMMARY

The summary description of our business may not contain all information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, including the information set forth “Risk Factors” and our financial statements and related notes, included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement before making an investment decision.

References in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Generex” or the “company,” unless the context requires otherwise, refer to Generex Biotechnology Corporation.

Our Company

Generex Biotechnology Corporation is a Delaware corporation engaged in the research and development of injection-free methods for delivery of large molecule drugs. We are a development stage company.

To date, we have focused our efforts and resources on a platform technology to orally administer large molecule drugs by absorption through the walls of the mouth cavity. The mouth cavity is also known as the "buccal" cavity. Large molecule drugs include proteins, hormones, peptides and vaccines. Large molecule drugs, such as synthetic insulin, are presently administered almost exclusively by injection.

The initial product that we have developed is an oral insulin formulation for use in the treatment of diabetes. The formulation is sprayed into the mouth using our RapidMist™ device, a small and lightweight aerosol applicator that administers a metered dose for absorption. Absorption occurs through the mucous membranes in the buccal cavity.

We have also pursued the application of our technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical products in addition to insulin, such as the buccal delivery of morphine, fentanyl citrate and low molecular weight heparin.

In August 2003, we acquired Antigen Express, Inc., or Antigen. Antigen is engaged in the research and development of technologies for the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases.

Our organizational structure consists of Generex Biotechnology Corporation and five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is incorporated in Ontario, Canada and which performs all of our Canadian operations; Generex (Bermuda), Inc., which is incorporated in Bermuda and which currently does not conduct any business activities; Antigen Express, Inc., which is incorporated in Delaware and which we acquired in 2003; Generex Pharmaceuticals (USA) LLC, which we organized in North Carolina in February 2006 and which has not yet commenced any business operations; and Generex Marketing & Distribution Inc., which we organized in Ontario, Canada in September 2006 and which has not yet commenced any business operations.

Our principal offices are located at 33 Harbour Square, Suite 202, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2G2. Our telephone number is (416) 364-2551 and our Internet address is www.generex.com. Information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

About This Prospectus
 
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, using the “shelf” registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may, from time to time, issue and sell in one or more series or classes our common stock, preferred stock and/or warrants in one or more offerings up to an aggregate maximum offering price of $150,000,000 (or its equivalent in foreign or composite currencies).
 
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering and the terms of the securities being sold. We will file each prospectus supplement with the SEC. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” below.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. The information contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus or such prospectus supplement, and the information contained in any document incorporated herein or therein by reference is accurate only as the date of such document incorporated by reference, regardless of the time of delivery or any sale of our securities.
 
RISK FACTORS

An investment in our stock is very speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following important factors, as well as the other information in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the other reports that we have filed heretofore (and will file hereafter) with the SEC, before purchasing our stock. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations and financial results. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face described below.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

We have a history of losses and will incur additional losses.

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. In the quarterly period ending October 31, 2006, we have received nominal revenues from sales of our confectionary, Glucose RapidSpray™, and we expect to receive some revenue from the sale of our oral insulin product in Ecuador in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to common shareholders was $192,153,357 at October 31, 2006. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, including clinical trials, and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. While we seek to attain profitability, we cannot be sure that we will ever achieve product and other revenue sufficient for us to attain this objective.

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ which is currently selling in Ecuador and Glucose RapidSpray™ which we began selling in the United States in October 2006, our product candidates are in research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. We will need to conduct substantial additional research, development and clinical trials. We will also need to receive necessary regulatory clearances both in the United States and foreign countries and obtain meaningful patent protection for and establish freedom to commercialize each of our product candidates. We cannot be sure that we will obtain required regulatory approvals, or successfully research, develop, commercialize, manufacture and market any other product candidates. We expect that these activities, together with future general and administrative activities, will result in significant expenses for the foreseeable future.

We will need additional capital.

To progress in product development or marketing, we will need additional capital which may not be available to us. This may delay our progress in product development or market.

We will require funds in excess of our existing cash resources:
 
 
·
to proceed with the development of our buccal insulin product;

 
·
to finance the research and development of new products based on our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies, including clinical testing relating to new products;

 
·
to finance the research and development activities of our subsidiary Antigen with respect to other potential technologies;
 
2

 
 
·
to commercially launch and market developed products;
 
 
·
to develop or acquire other technologies or other lines of business;

 
·
to establish and expand our manufacturing capabilities;

 
·
to finance general and administrative activities that are not related to specific products under development; and

 
·
to otherwise carry on business.

In the past, we have funded most of our development and other costs through equity financing. We anticipate that our existing capital resources will enable us to maintain currently planned operations through the next 12 months. However, this expectation is based on our current operating plan, which could change as a result of many factors, and we may need additional funding sooner than anticipated. Because our operating and capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will have to raise additional funds in the near future to continue the development and commercialization of our products. Unforeseen problems, including materially negative developments in our clinical trials or in general economic conditions, could interfere with our ability to raise additional equity capital or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such funding is available.

It is possible that we will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when we need it. If we were unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, we could be forced to delay the progress of certain development efforts. Such a scenario poses risks. For example, our ability to bring a product to market and obtain revenues could be delayed, our competitors could develop products ahead of us, and/or we could be forced to relinquish rights to technologies, products or potential products.

Any new equity financing will dilute current stockholders.

If we raise funds through equity financing to meet the needs discussed above, it will have a dilutive effect on existing holders of our shares by reducing their percentage ownership. The shares may be sold at a time when the market price is low because we need the funds. This will dilute existing holders more than if our stock price was higher. In addition, equity financings normally involve shares sold at a discount to the current market price.

Our research and development and marketing efforts may be highly dependent on corporate collaborators and other third parties who may not devote sufficient time, resources and attention to our programs, which may limit our efforts to successfully develop and market potential products.

Because we have limited resources, we have sought to enter into collaboration agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that will assist us in developing, testing, obtaining governmental approval for and commercializing products using our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies. Any collaborator with whom we may enter into such collaboration agreements may not support fully our research and commercial interests since our program may compete for time, attention and resources with such collaborator's internal programs. Therefore, these collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our program to move it forward effectively, or that the program will advance as rapidly as it might if we had retained complete control of all research, development, regulatory and commercialization decisions.

Risks Related to Our Technologies

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ and Glucose RapidSpray™, our technologies and products are at an early stage of development and we cannot expect revenues in respect thereof in the foreseeable future.

We have no products approved for commercial sale at the present time with the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ and Glucose RapidSpray™. To be profitable, we must not only successfully research, develop and obtain regulatory approval for our products under development, but also manufacture, introduce, market and distribute them once development is completed. We may not be successful in one or more of these stages of the development or commercialization of our products, and/or any of the products we develop may not be commercially viable.
 
3


Although Generex Oral-lyn™, our proprietary oral insulin spray formulation, has been approved for commercial marketing and sale in Ecuador, and Glucose RapidSpray™, our confectionary product, will be available for purchase in the United States, we have yet to manufacture, market and distribute these products on a large-scale commercial basis. Until we can establish that they are commercially viable products, we will not receive significant revenues from ongoing operations.

Until we receive regulatory approval to sell our products in additional countries, our ability to generate revenues from operations may be limited and those revenues may be insufficient to sustain operations. Many factors impact our ability to obtain approvals for commercially viable products.

Only our oral insulin product has been approved for commercial sale by drug regulatory authorities, and that approval was obtained in Ecuador. We have begun the regulatory approval process for our oral insulin, buccal morphine and fentanyl products in other countries. Our immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development, with the exception of our Phase 1 trial in human patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer.

Pre-clinical and clinical trials of our products, and the manufacturing and marketing of our technologies, are subject to extensive, costly and rigorous regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada and other countries. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals from the FDA and other regulatory authorities often takes many years, is expensive and can vary significantly based on the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates. For these reasons, it is possible we will not receive regulatory approval for any prescription pharmaceutical product candidate in any country other than Ecuador.

In addition, we cannot be sure when or if we will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements in this prospectus regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when we will obtain regulatory approval for any "phase" of clinical trials.

Delays in obtaining United States or other foreign approvals for our products could result in substantial additional costs to us, and, therefore, could adversely affect our ability to compete with other companies. If regulatory approval is ultimately granted in any country other than Ecuador, the approval may place limitations on the intended use of the product we wish to commercialize, and may restrict the way in which we are permitted to market the product.

Due to legal and factual uncertainties regarding the scope and protection afforded by patents and other proprietary rights, we may not have meaningful protection from competition.

Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to protect our proprietary technologies from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication and avoid infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our patent rights, and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. Because of this, our pending patent applications may not be granted. These uncertainties also mean that any patents that we own or will obtain in the future could be subject to challenge, and even if not challenged, may not provide us with meaningful protection from competition. Due to our financial uncertainties, we may not possess the financial resources necessary to enforce our patents. Patents already issued to us or our pending applications may become subject to dispute, and any dispute could be resolved against us.

Because a substantial number of patents have been issued in the field of alternative drug delivery and because patent positions can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and factual questions, the breadth of claims obtained in any application or the enforceability of our patents cannot be predicted. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, to the extent patents have been issued or will be issued, whether these patents will be subject to further proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantage, or will be circumvented or invalidated.

Also because of these legal and factual uncertainties, and because pending patent applications are held in secrecy for varying periods in the United States and other countries, even after reasonable investigation we may not know with certainty whether any products that we (or a licensee) may develop will infringe upon any patent or other intellectual property right of a third party. For example, we are aware of certain patents owned by third parties that such parties could attempt to use in the future in efforts to affect our freedom to practice some of the patents that we own or have applied for. Based upon the science and scope of these third-party patents, we believe that the patents that we own or have applied for do not infringe any such third-party patents; however, we cannot know for certain whether we could successfully defend our position, if challenged. We may incur substantial costs if we are required to defend our intellectual property in patent suits brought by third parties. These legal actions could seek damages and seek to enjoin testing, manufacturing and marketing of the accused product or process. In addition to potential liability for significant damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the accused product or process.

Risks Related to Marketing of Our Potential Products

We may not become, or stay, profitable even if our products are approved for sale.

Even if we obtain regulatory approval to market our oral insulin product or any other prescription pharmaceutical product candidate in another country other than Ecuador, many factors may prevent the product from ever being sold in commercial quantities. Similarly, the successful commercialization of our confectionary may be hindered. Some of these factors are beyond our control, such as:

 
·
acceptance of the formulation or treatment by health care professionals and diabetic patients;

 
·
the availability, effectiveness and relative cost of alternative diabetes or immunomedicine treatments that may be developed by competitors; and

 
·
the availability of third-party (i.e., insurer and governmental agency) reimbursements.

We will not receive significant revenues from Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador or Glucose RapidSpray™ in the United States or any of our other products that may receive regulatory approval until we can successfully manufacture, market and distribute them in the relevant market.

We will have to depend upon others for marketing and distribution of our products, and we may be forced to enter into contracts limiting the benefits we may receive and the control we have over our products. We intend to rely on collaborative arrangements with one or more other companies that possess strong marketing and distribution resources to perform these functions for us. We may not be able to enter into beneficial contracts, and we may be forced to enter into contracts for the marketing and distribution of our products that substantially limit the potential benefits to us from commercializing these products. In addition, we will not have the same control over marketing and distribution that we would have if we conducted these functions ourselves.

We may not be able to compete with treatments now being marketed and developed, or which may be developed and marketed in the future by other companies.

Our products will compete with existing and new therapies and treatments. We are aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of delivering insulin, as well as new drugs intended to replace insulin therapy at least in part. We are also aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of enhancing and suppressing peptides. In the longer term, we also face competition from companies that seek to develop cures for diabetes and other malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases through techniques for correcting the genetic deficiencies that underlie such diseases.

Numerous pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug delivery companies, hospitals, research organizations, individual scientists and nonprofit organizations are engaged in the development of alternatives to our technologies. Some of these companies have greater research and development capabilities, experience, manufacturing, marketing, financial and managerial resources than we do. Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in developing competing technologies, obtaining FDA approval for products or gaining market acceptance more rapidly than we can.

In January, 2006, the FDA approved Pfizer, Inc.’s inhalable form of insulin, the first non-injected insulin to be approved by the FDA. Pfizer’s product in inhaled through the mouth and absorbed in the lungs. Initial supplies of this product, which is marketed as Exubera®, became available in the U.S. in September 2006. We understand that an expanded roll-out of Exubera® to primary-care physicians in the U.S., which Pfizer previously targeted for November 2006, will begin in January 2007. While we believe that absorption though the buccal cavity offers several advantages over absorption through the lungs, Pfizer’s early approval could allow it to capture a large portion of the market.

If government programs and insurance companies do not agree to pay for or reimburse patients for our products, our success will be impacted.

Sales of our oral insulin formulation in Ecuador and our potential products in other markets depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payers such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payers often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our product, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceuticals may change before our products are approved for marketing and any such changes could further limit reimbursement.

Risks Related to Potential Liabilities

We face significant product liability risks, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition.

The administration of drugs or treatments to humans, whether in clinical trials or commercially, can result in product liability claims whether or not the drugs or treatments are actually at fault for causing an injury. Furthermore, our products may cause, or may appear to have caused, serious adverse side effects (including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug or treatment has been administered to patients for some time. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and may result in large judgments or settlements against us, which could have a severe negative effect on our financial condition. We maintain product liability insurance in amounts we believe to be commercially reasonable for our current level of activity and exposure, but claims could exceed our coverage limits. Furthermore, due to factors in the insurance market generally and our own experience, we may not always be able to purchase sufficient insurance at an affordable price. Even if a product liability claim is not successful, the adverse publicity and time and expense of defending such a claim may interfere with our business.

Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock

Our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

In the past, we have failed to comply with certain of NASDAQ’s listing requirements. In late 2004, we did not comply with NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) which requires us to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. While we regained compliance with this standard, we are still in the development stage. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we will sustain compliance with this standard. In the event we cannot sustain compliance, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market and begin trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board, assuming we meet the requisite criteria.

In addition, from October 2004 until October 2005, we failed to comply with NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(4) which requires us to have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00. Although we regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in November 2005, there is no guarantee that the bid price of our common stock will remain at or above $1.00 per share. In the event that the price of our common stock falls below $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive trading days, we would likely receive a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC informing us of our noncompliance with NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(4) and giving us 180 calendar days, subject to extension, to regain compliance with the rule. In the event that we could not demonstrate compliance with NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(4) by the specified deadline and were not eligible for an additional compliance period, the staff would notify us that our stock would be delisted, at which time we could appeal the staff’s determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Pending the decision of the Listing Qualification Panel, our common stock would continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If we were not successful in such an appeal, our stock would likely trade on NASDAQ’s over-the-counter bulletin board, assuming we meet the requisite criteria.

If we fail to maintain compliance with applicable NASDAQ Rules and our stock is delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market, it may become subject to Penny Stock Regulations and there will be less interest for our stock in the market. This may result in lower prices for our stock and make it more difficult for us to obtain financing.

If our stock is not listed on NASDAQ and fails to maintain a price of $5.00 or more per share, our stock would become subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's "Penny Stock" rules. These rules require a broker to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a Penny Stock, a disclosure schedule explaining the Penny Stock Market and its risks. Additionally, broker/dealers who recommend Penny Stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to the sale. In the event our stock becomes subject to these rules, it will become more difficult for broker/dealers to sell our common stock. Therefore, it may be more difficult for us to obtain financing.

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

There may be wide fluctuations in the price of our common stock. These fluctuations may be caused by several factors including:

 
·
announcements of research activities and technology innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

 
·
changes in market valuation of companies in our industry generally;
 
 
·
variations in operating results;

 
·
changes in governmental regulations;

 
·
developments in patent and other proprietary rights;

 
·
public concern as to the safety of drugs or treatments developed by us or others;

 
·
results of clinical trials of our products or our competitors' products; and

 
·
regulatory action or inaction on our products or our competitors' products.

From time to time, we may hire companies to assist us in pursuing investor relations strategies to generate increased volumes of investment in our common stock. Such activities may result, among other things, in causing the price of our common stock to increase on a short-term basis.

Furthermore, the stock market generally and the market for stocks of companies with lower market capitalizations and small biopharmaceutical companies, like us, have from time to time experienced, and likely will again experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company.

Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation could delay or prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation permits our Board of Directors to designate new series of preferred stock and issue those shares without any vote or action by our stockholders. Such newly authorized and issued shares of preferred stock could contain terms that grant special voting rights to the holders of such shares that make it more difficult to obtain stockholder approval for an acquisition of our business or increase the cost of any such acquisition.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

  Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of our capital stock. This summary is not complete. We encourage you to read our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our By-Laws that we have previously filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

General

  Our authorized capital stock consists of: (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 108,157,688 shares were outstanding as of January 9, 2007 (ii) 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and (iii) 1,000 shares of Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock

   Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share owned of record on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares can elect the entire Board of Directors. The holders of common stock are entitled, upon liquidation or dissolution of the company, to receive pro rata all remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to any preferred shareholders who may have preferential rights. The common stock has no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption provisions. All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock
 
We have 1,000 shares of Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock outstanding. Dr. Pankaj Modi, our former director and Vice President, Research and Development, is the owner of all of these shares. The Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of our common stock.

The Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock has the following special voting rights:

 
·
the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock has the right to elect a majority of our Board of Directors if a “Change of Control” (as specifically defined) occurs;
     
 
·
the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock has the right to approve any transaction that would result in a Change of Control; and
     
 
·
the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock has the right to vote whenever specifically required by Delaware law.

The Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock is entitled to share in dividends paid on the common stock.

We have the right to redeem the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock at any time for $.10 per share. We expect that the Board of Directors will take action in due course to redeem the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and fix the number of shares constituting any such series, the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend rate, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. For example, the Board of Directors is authorized to issue a series of preferred stock that would have the right to vote, separately or with any other series of preferred stock, on any proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation or on any other proposed corporate action, including business combinations and other transactions.

The terms of any particular series of preferred stock will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of shares of that particular series of preferred and may include, among other things:

 
·
 
the title and stated value;
 
     
 
·
 
the number of shares authorized;
 
     
 
·
 
the liquidation preference per share;
 
     
 
·
 
the purchase price;
 
     
 
·
 
the dividend rate, period and payment date, and method of calculation (including whether cumulative or non-cumulative);
 
     
 
·
 
terms and amount of any sinking fund;
 
9

 
 
·
 
provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on the ability of the company to exercise such redemption and repurchase rights;
 
     
 
·
 
conversion rights and rates, if applicable, including the conversion price and how and when it will be calculated and adjusted;
 
     
 
·
 
voting rights, if any;
 
     
 
·
 
preemptive rights, if any;
 
     
 
·
 
restrictions on sale, transfer and assignment, if any;
 
     
 
·
 
the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock; and
 
     
 
·
 
any other specific terms, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, such preferred stock.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions

We are not aware of any pending takeover attempt or interest in making such an attempt. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions which may be deemed to be "anti-takeover" in that they may deter, discourage or make more difficult the assumption of control of Generex by another corporation or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or similar transaction or series of transactions.

Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock: As indicated above, our outstanding Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock prevents a "Change of Control" of Generex without the consent of the holders of those shares. At the present time, all of these shares are owned by Dr. Modi, our former director and Vice President, Research and Development.

Authorized but Unissued Shares: The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Board of Directors may set the rights, preferences and terms of new preferred stock, without shareholder approval. Shares of preferred stock could be issued quickly without shareholder approval, with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of Generex. Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the purchase of these shares. Therefore, such issuance could result in a dilution of voting rights and book value per share of the common stock. No shares of preferred stock other than the Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock are currently outstanding, and we have no present plan to issue any preferred stock.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations: Our Bylaws provide that a stockholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors, must provide timely notice of such stockholder’s intention in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting at which such proposal or candidate is to be considered. However, if the company does not give prior notice or make public disclosure of the date of the meeting at least 70 days prior to the meeting date, notice by the stockholder is considered timely if it is received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice was mailed or public disclosure was made. If a stockholder desires to have a proposal included in the company’s proxy statement, notice of such proposal must be received not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the company’s notice of the previous year’s annual meeting. These advance notice provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before a meeting or from making nominations for directors.

Special Meetings of Stockholders: Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President, and may be called by the Board upon the request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the company entitled to vote at the meeting. Further, business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders is limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

  General Effect of Anti-Takeover Provisions: The overall effect of these provisions may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that some stockholders might view to be in their best interests at that time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting our current management in retaining its position and place it in a better position to resist changes which some stockholders may want to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of our business.

Stockholder Rights Plan

At our annual meeting on May 30, 2006, our stockholders approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan that will allow our Board of Directors to declare a dividend of one share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has considered adoption of this plan but has not yet approved its adoption. We expect that any stockholder rights plan adopted by our Board will contain terms substantially as described below:

The terms of the rights plan will provide for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right, which we refer to as a “Right,” for each outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend will be payable on a date established by the Board to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right will entitle the registered holder to purchase from Generex one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock (each a “Preferred Share” and, collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of $.01 per one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock, subject to certain adjustments. Each Preferred Share will have designations and powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions which make its value approximately equal to the value of one share of our common stock.
 
The Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier to occur of:

 
(i)
 
the date of a public announcement that a person, entity or group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, which we refer to as an "Acquiring Person", or
       
 
(ii)
 
10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person or entity becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person or entity becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date").

Until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable with and only with shares of our common stock. The Rights will expire ten years after adoption of the stockholders rights plan unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by Generex.

Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $1.00 but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares would be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share, but would be entitled to receive an aggregate payment equal to 100 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged, each Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount of consideration received per share of common stock. These rights will be protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. Because of the nature of the Preferred Shares' dividend and liquidation rights, the value of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share should approximate the value of one share of common stock. The Preferred Shares would rank junior to any other series of our preferred stock.

In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person and its associates and affiliates (which will thereafter be void), will for a 60-day period have the right to receive upon exercise that number of shares of Preferred Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right (or, if such number of shares is not and cannot be authorized, Generex may issue Preferred Shares, cash, debt, stock or a combination thereof in exchange for the Rights). This right will terminate 60 days after the date on which the Rights become nonredeemable (as described below), unless there is an injunction or similar obstacle to exercise of the Rights, in which event this right will terminate 60 days after the date on which the Rights again become exercisable.

The rights plan will contain certain exceptions to the characterization of a person or group as an "Acquiring Person." That term shall not be deemed to include:

 
·
 
Generex,
 
11

 
 
·
 
a subsidiary of Generex,
       
 
·
 
any employee benefit or compensation plan of Generex,
       
 
·
 
any entity holding shares of common stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit or compensation plan or
       
 
·
 
any officer, director or current 5% holder as of the date the rights plan is implemented.
 
The right plan may also except certain institutional shareholders from the definition of “Acquiring Person.” In addition, except under limited circumstances, no person or entity shall become an Acquiring Person as the result of the acquisition of shares of common stock by Generex which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such person or entity to 20% or more of the shares of common stock then outstanding.

The stockholders rights plan may also contain what is commonly known as a “flip-over” provision. In the event that Generex is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring Person, its associates or affiliates or certain other persons in which such persons have an interest, the plan will require that proper provision be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

At any time after an Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Generex’s common stock, our Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, per Right (or, at our election, Generex may issue cash, debt, stock or a combination thereof in exchange for the Rights), subject to adjustment.

At any time prior to the earliest of (i) the day of the first public announcement that a person has become an Acquiring Person or (ii) the final expiration date of the rights, our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.001 per Right. Following the expiration of the above periods, the Rights become nonredeemable. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price.

The Rights would have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Generex on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors since the Rights could be amended to permit such acquisition or redeemed by us at $.001 per Right prior to the earliest of (i) the time that a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our shares of common stock or (ii) the final expiration date of the rights.

Dividend Policy

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare. The Board may declare dividends only when dividends are legally available. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board may only declare dividends out of our capital surplus (generally the amount of its paid-in capital above the par value of the outstanding stock) or out of net profits for the fiscal year with respect to which the dividends are paid. Holders of our Special Voting Rights Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend per share equal to the dividends paid on share of common stock when and if such dividends are declared and paid. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Transfer Agent

  StockTrans, Inc., 44 West Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, PA 19003, is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

 The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants to purchase equity securities may also include, if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax and ERISA considerations.
 
Exercise of Warrants 

     Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the number of shares of common or preferred stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the expiration date 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. We will set forth on the reverse side of the applicable certificate (or in the form of exercise notice attached to each warrant) and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver upon exercise.

     Upon receipt of payment and the warrant properly completed and duly executed, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the purchased securities. If less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant are exercised, a new warrant will be issued for the remaining warrants.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants 
     
Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, such holder’s warrants.
     
Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the preferred stock or common stock purchasable upon exercise, including the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR UNITS

We may issue units comprised of two or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The units will be issued under units agreements, and we may enter into such unit agreements with a bank or trust company, as unit agent, as detailed in the prospectus supplement relating to units being offered.

The prospectus supplement will describe:

 
·
 
the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;
 
     
 
·
 
a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;
 
     
 
·
 
a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units;
 
     
 
·
 
a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations, if applicable; and
 
     
 
·
 
whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.
    
The descriptions of the units in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable agreements. These descriptions do not restate those agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the units. For more information, please review the form of the relevant agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of units and will be available as described under the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information”.

·       in privately negotiated transactions; or
 
·       through a combination of methods.
 
We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may also determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction.
 
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:
 
·       the names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any,

Also, if applicable, we will describe in the prospectus supplement how any auction will determine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the underwriters’ obligations with respect to the auction.
 
We have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters, broker-dealers or other parties regarding the sale of securities.

No period of time has been fixed within which the securities will be offered or sold.
 
If required under applicable state securities laws, we will sell the securities only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, we may not sell securities unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or unless we have complied with an exemption from any registration or qualification requirements.
 
If underwriters are used in an offering, we will sign an underwriting agreement with the underwriters and will specify the name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus supplement. If an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.
 
If dealers are used in an offering, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell the securities to the public at varying prices which they determine at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be specified in a prospectus supplement.
 
15

 
The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents we designate. If agents are used in an offering, the names of the agents and the terms of the agency will be specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment.
 
Dealers and agents named in a prospectus supplement may be deemed to be underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act) of the securities described therein.
 
We may sell securities directly to one or more purchasers, in which case underwriters or agents would not be involved in the transaction. In addition, we may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales thereof.
 
Further, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase 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. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in an applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make in respect thereof, under underwriting or other agreements. Certain underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
 
Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading “Underwriting” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing and trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.
 
LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the issuance of the securities offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC, 1515 Market Street, 9th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102. Certain members of the firm of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott hold options that are exercisable for 30,000 shares at $7.56 per share. These options were granted under our 2000 Stock Option Plan.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers 
   
General Corporation Law of Delaware

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or other agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Our By-Laws (Exhibit 3(ii) hereto) provide indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

By-Laws
 
Article V of our By-Laws provides that the company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact such person is or was (a) a director or executive officer of the company or a constituent corporation absorbed in a consolidation or merger (hereinafter, a "constituent corporation"), or, (b) is or was serving at the request of the company or a constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise or entity, or (c) is or was a director or officer of the company serving at its request as an administrator, trustee or other fiduciary of one or more of the employee benefit plans, if any, of the company or another entity which may be in effect from time to time, against all expenses, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding, whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any proceeding by or in the right of the company, to the extent that such person is not otherwise indemnified and to the extent that such indemnification is not prohibited by law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended. The company shall advance all expenses reasonably incurred by a person entitled to indemnification as provided above in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, and may, but shall not be obligated to, advance expenses of other persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to any other agreement or provision of law. To determine whether any indemnification under Article V of our By-Laws is permissible, the Board of Directors of the company by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not parties to such proceeding may, and on request of a person seeking indemnification shall be required to, determine in each case whether the applicable standards in any applicable statute have been met, or such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs. If a claim for indemnification under Article V of our By-Laws is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the company, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim, and the company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification under applicable law. The reasonable expenses of any person in prosecuting a successful claim for indemnification thereunder, and the fees and expenses of any independent legal counsel engaged to determine permissibility of indemnification, shall be borne by the company. For purposes of Article V, "independent legal counsel" means legal counsel other than that regularly or customarily engaged by or on behalf of the company. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article V of our Bylaws, the company shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board.

Article V of our Bylaws further provides that indemnification provided therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which one seeking indemnification may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person. Any modification or repeal of any provision of Article V of our By-Laws shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an authorized representative existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such modification or repeal.
 
19


Pursuant to Article V of our By-Laws, the Board of Directors of the company has the power to (i) authorize the company to purchase and maintain, at the company’s expenses, insurance on behalf of the company and on behalf of others to the extent that power to do so has not been prohibited by applicable law, and (ii) give other indemnification to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. The company currently maintains insurance under which the insurers will reimburse the company for amounts that it has paid to its directors and officers as indemnification for claims against such persons in their official capacities. The insurance also covers such persons as to amounts paid by them as a result of claims against them in their official capacities that are not reimbursed by the company. The insurance is subject to certain limitations and exclusions.

Item 16. Exhibits

The exhibits are described on the Exhibit Index to this Registration Statement on Form S-3.

Item 17. Undertakings 
  
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

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

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

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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

(4) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) 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. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
20


(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(8) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
    
(i)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Generex Biotechnology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and are rendering this opinion in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (which Registration Statement also constitutes Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-139637) filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act on December 22, 2006), relating to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), warrants to purchase the Company’s securities (the “Warrants”), and units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities (the “Units”) of the Company. The Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Units are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Offered Securities.” The Offered Securities may be issued and sold by the Company from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, and the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and any supplements thereto (each a “Prospectus Supplement”), for up to an aggregate offering price of $150,000,000. This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement other than as to the validity of the Offered Securities.
 
We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto, (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and (iii) the Bylaws of the Company. We have also examined such corporate records and other agreements, documents and instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives and have considered such matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.
     
In delivering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of originals of all such latter documents, and the accuracy and completeness of all records, information and statements submitted to us by officers and representatives of the Company.
     
Based upon and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. With respect to any offering of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Offered Common Stock”), when (a) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (including a post-effective amendment) has become effective under the Securities Act, (b) the board of directors or any duly designated committee thereof has adopted resolutions approving the issuance and sale of the Offered Common Stock at a specified price (not less than the par value of the Common Stock) or pursuant to a specified pricing mechanism, (c) a Prospectus Supplement has been filed with the Commission describing the Offered Common Stock, (d) if the Offered Common Stock is to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, an underwriting agreement with respect to the Offered Common Stock has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto, (e) there are sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company’s organizational documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance, (f) certificates representing the shares of Offered Common Stock have been duly executed by appropriate officers of the Company or appropriate book entries have been made in the stock records of the Company, and (g) the shares of Offered Common Stock have been duly and properly sold, paid for and delivered as contemplated in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto and, if applicable, in accordance with the applicable underwriting or other purchase agreement, or upon conversion of Preferred Stock that is convertible into Common Stock or upon exercise of Warrants to purchase Common Stock, the shares of Offered Common Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 


2.
