TRxADE HEALTH, INC.

 

 

Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, TRxADE HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”, “TRxADE”, “we”, “us” and “our”) is offering to a certain accredited and institutional investor, 1,521,740 shares of our common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a public offering price of $1.15 per share. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant will equal the price per share at which shares of our common stock are being sold in this offering, minus $0.00001, the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants. Each pre-funded warrant is immediately exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full.

 

In a concurrent private placement, we are also issuing to the same accredited and institutional investor warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,663,045 shares of our common stock. Each Private Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Private Warrants are exercisable upon the date that stockholder approval is received for the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of such Private Warrants and will expire five years from the initial exercise date. The Private Warrants and the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants (the “Private Warrant Shares”) are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, nor are such Private Warrants and Private Warrant Shares being offered pursuant to such prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The Private Warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. We will receive gross proceeds from the concurrent private placement transaction solely to the extent such warrants are exercised for cash.

 

There is no established trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

 

We engaged Maxim Group LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent is not purchasing the securities offered by us in this offering and is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered.

 

 

 

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEDS.” On October 5, 2022, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $1.16 per share.

 

One-third of the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates is approximately $2,130,214, based on 8,398,708 shares of outstanding common stock and approximately 4,525,591 shares held by affiliates, at a price of $1.65 per share, which was the last reported sales price of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 8, 2022. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event during the period of twelve calendar months immediately prior to, and including, the sales under this prospectus supplement, will we sell our common stock in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the common stock held by non-affiliates so long as our public float remains below $75 million. Including securities being offered in this prospectus supplement, we have sold $0 of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the twelve calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus supplement (excluding the value of the shares of common stock sold in this offering).

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement and future filings.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks that we have described under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement, on page 8 of the accompanying prospectus , and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, dated August 8, 2022, are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266432) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, utilizing a “shelf” registration process on July 29, 2022, and that was declared effective on August 8, 2022. Under this process, we may sell from time to time in one or more offerings up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 in our securities described in the accompanying prospectus.

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and any free writing prospectus. We have not, and the placement agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the placement agent is not, making an offer to sell these securities in any state or jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the securities offered hereby. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement, parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information with respect to us and the securities offered hereby, reference is made to the registration statement and the exhibits that are a part of the registration statement. We will disclose any material changes in our affairs in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement and the accompanying prospectus of which this prospectus supplement is a part, a future prospectus supplement, a free writing prospectus or a future filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. It is important for you to read and consider all the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, in making your investment decision.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information included in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus, any free writing prospectus we may file, the documents or information incorporated by reference herein, as well as other reports filed by us under the Exchange Act contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “will,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under, and incorporated by reference in, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompany prospectus.

 

S-2

 

If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus supplement and the accompany prospectus, those documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and those documents which we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and the accompany prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the date of any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus, as applicable. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

 

You should also consider carefully the statements under and incorporated by reference in “Risk Factors” and other sections of this prospectus supplement, and the accompany prospectus, and the documents we incorporate by reference or file as part of any free writing prospectus, which address additional facts that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus, and the documents we incorporate by reference. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information found in more detail elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus supplement. It does not contain all of the information you should consider. As such, before you decide to buy our common stock, in addition to the following summary, we urge you to carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and documents incorporated by reference herein, the accompanying prospectus, and any other prospectus supplements or free writing prospectuses, especially the risks of investing in our common stock as discussed under, and incorporated by reference in, “Risk Factors.” The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a health services IT company focused on digitalizing the retail pharmacy experience by optimizing drug procurement, the prescription journey and patient engagement in the U.S. and have designed and developed, and now own and operate, a business-to-business web-based marketplace. Our core service brings the nation’s independent pharmacies, accredited national suppliers, and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals together to provide efficient and transparent buying and selling opportunities.

 

We began operations as Trxade Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Trxade Nevada”) in August of 2010 and spent over two years creating and enhancing our web-based services. The Company changed its name on June 1, 2021, from “Trxade Group, Inc” to “TRxADE HEALTH, INC.” Our services provide pricing transparency, purchasing capabilities and other value-added services on a single platform focused on serving the nation’s approximately 19,397 independent pharmacies with annual purchasing power of $67.1 billion (according to the National Community of Pharmacists Association’s 2021 Digest). Our national wholesale supply partners and manufacturers are able to fulfill orders on our platform in real-time and provide pharmacies and wholesale suppliers with cost-saving payment terms and next-day delivery capabilities in unrestrictive states. We have expanded significantly since 2015 and now serve approximately 13,815+ registered members on our sales platform.

 

Our Principal Products and Services and their Markets.

 

Trxade.com is a web-based pharmaceutical marketplace engaged in promoting and enabling commerce among independent pharmacies, small chains, hospitals, clinics, and alternate dispensing sites with large pharmaceutical suppliers nationally. Our marketplace has over 60 national and regional pharmaceutical suppliers providing over 120,000 branded and generic drugs, including over-the-counter drugs (OTCs), and drugs available for purchase by pharmacists. We serve approximately 13,815+ registered members, providing access to Trxade’s proprietary pharmaceutical database and data analytics regarding medication pricing. We generate revenue from these services by charging a transaction fee to the seller of the products for sales conducted via the Trxade platform. The buyers do not bear the cost of transaction fees for the purchases that they make, nor do they pay a fee to join or register with our platform. Substantially all of our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were from platform revenue generated on www.rx.trxade.com, product sales through Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC, and prescription sales through Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC.

 

Status of current products and services.

 

We have a number of products and services still in development, which are described below.

 

Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC. Integra is intended to serve as our logistics company for pharmaceutical distribution.

 

Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC. We acquired Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CSP”), on October 15, 2018. CSP is an accredited pharmacy located in St. Petersburg, Florida. CSP has a focus on specialty medications. The company operates with an innovative pharmacy model which offers home delivery services to any patient thereby providing convenience.

 

 

S-4

 

 

Delivmeds.com. Delivmeds.com was launched in late 2018 as a consumer-based app to provide delivery of pharmaceutical products associated with Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC. We are currently working on reformulating the application from a prescription delivery portal to a fully integrated, interoperable, end-to-end prescription delivery and medication adherence tool. The new product has been rebranded and is targeted for consumer re-release and use in the near future. To date, we have not generated any revenue from this product.

 

Trxade Prime. Trxade Prime allows pharmacy members on the Trxade platform to process, consolidate and ship purchase orders that are placed directly with Trxade suppliers via the Trxade Prime service. This is at no cost, with the goal of offering a single tool with one low order minimum, one invoice, one package and one delivery from multiple quality wholesalers and distributors. Revenue has been generated from this service though our Integra subsidiary, which provides the consolidation of the orders.

 

Bonum Health Hub and Application. The “Bonum Health Hub”, a self-enclosed, free standing virtual examination room, was launched by the Company’s wholly-owned Bonum Health, LLC subsidiary, in November 2019 and was expected to be operational in April 2020; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company does not anticipate installations moving forward, and has taken a write off of the hubs purchased at June 30, 2022 in the amount of $143,891.

 

The “Bonum Health app”, which provides an overall healthcare experience comparable to a Primary Care practitioner, and an online portal as a personal electronic medical record and scheduling system is available on a subscription basis, primarily as a stand-alone telehealth software application that can be licensed on a business-to-business (B2B) model to clients as an employment health benefit for the clients’ employees. Revenue has been generated from this service through our Bonum subsidiary.

 

Bonum+ Business to Business (B2B). Bonum+ bundles telehealth, a COVID-19 risk assessment tool and a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) purchasing tool, through a secure mobile dashboard for corporate clients. The B2B platform eases pressure on employees who are required to report any relevant health issues daily, centralizing communication and contact tracing to deliver risk scores. This allows employers to monitor employee COVID-19 risk profiles and streamlines the ordering of new PPE as needed. An integrated artificial intelligence (AI) tool offers health recommendations and connects employees with board certified physicians, as needed. To date, we have not generated any revenue from this product.

 

On April 18, 2022, the Company formed Bonum Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This subsidiary will serve as the parent company for Bonum Health, LLC. Also, in April 2022, our Board of Directors authorized our Chief Executive Officer to explore strategic alternatives for the Company’s Bonum Health, LLC subsidiary. As part of this process, the Board will consider a wide range of options for Bonum Health, LLC including, among other things, a potential sale, spin-off, fund raising, combination or other strategic transaction, which may also include the winding down of such entity. No final determinations regarding potential strategic alternatives for the Company’s Bonum Health, LLC subsidiary have been made to date.

 

MedCheks Health Passport. The Health Passport is a patient-centered, digital, precision healthcare platform that lets patients consolidate and control their health data via a digital Health Passport and allows them to share their health profile, tests and vaccinations simply and safely. Secured in a blockchain, the Health Passport includes health and vaccination status verification via a QR code, which is available for travel, entry into stadiums, concert venues, events, offices, industrial plants, warehouses, and other physical access points. The Passport stores all of a user’s health records securely in one place. We have not generated any revenue from this product to date and the product was discontinued at the end of December 2021.

 

SOSRx, LLC. On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a relationship with Exchange Health, LLC, a technology company providing an online platform for manufacturers and suppliers to sell and purchase pharmaceuticals (“Exchange Health”). SOSRx LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOSRx”), was formed, which is owned 51% by the Company and 49% by Exchange Health.

 

 

S-5

 

 

All of our product offerings are focused on the United States markets. Some products are restricted just to certain states, depending upon the various applicable state regulations and guidelines pertaining to pharmaceuticals, particularly, and drug businesses, generally. Our services are distributed through our online platform.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include:

 

  an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
     
  an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;

 

  reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
     
  an exemption from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements;
     
  extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and
     
  the ability to present more limited financial data, including presenting only three years of selected financial data in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) the end of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the last day of the end of our 2024 fiscal year (5 years from our first public offering). We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act.

 

We are choosing to irrevocably “opt out” of the extended transition periods available under Section 107 of the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, but we currently intend to take advantage of the other exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you invest.

Recent Developments

 

Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notices

 

On July 29, 2022, we received written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market, indicating that we are not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,804,533, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

Nasdaq gave us until September 12, 2022 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance, which plan of compliance was timely submitted. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter to evidence compliance. We are currently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance, and timely submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement; provided that Nasdaq is still reviewing such plan and such plan has not been accepted to date. We are confident that we can regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity standard within the compliance period. However, there can be no assurance that our plan will be accepted or that if it is, we will be able to regain compliance. If our plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and we do not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter, or if we fail to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that our common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit us to appeal the decision to reject our proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

On September 20, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department (“Nasdaq”) that as a result of the August 26, 2022 resignation of Ms. Christine Jennings, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2), which require that the Company’s Board be comprised of a majority of independent directors and that the Company have an Audit Committee consisting of at least three independent members, respectively, as the resignation of Ms. Jennings left the Board with four directors, only two of which are independent, and an Audit Committee consisting of only two independent members.

 

Nasdaq provided the Company a cure period to retain compliance with Nasdaq’s additional listing rules relating to independent directors and members of an issuer’s audit committee, which expires on the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or August 26, 2023; or if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before February 22, 2023, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than February 22, 2023. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq rules require Nasdaq to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. Jeff Newell as a member of the Board of Directors, with such appointment to take effect immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Newell meets the definition of an “independent” director under SEC rules and the rules and regulations promulgated by Nasdaq. Mr. Newell was also appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective upon his appointment. As a result of such appointments, the Company now has a Board of Directors consisting of a majority of “independent” directors under the rules and regulations promulgated by Nasdaq and an Audit Committee consisting of three members, and believes that it meets Nasdaq’s continued listing standards as to independent board members and audit committee members; however, the Company has not received formal notice from Nasdaq of such re-compliance.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On September 7, 2022, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“White Lion”). Subsequently, on September 12, 2022, and effective on September 7, 2022, the Company and White Lion entered into (1) a First Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and (2) a Second Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement, each to amend and correct certain provisions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Common Stock Purchase Agreement as amended to date, the “White Lion Purchase Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, the lesser of (a) $2,200,000 and (b) the amount eligible under Form S-3 (the “Commitment Amount”) in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, the Company’s right to sell shares to White Lion will commence on the date the White Lion Prospectus Supplement (discussed below) is filed, and extend until the earlier of (a) January 31, 2023; and (b) the date that all shares are sold under the White Lion Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Period”). During such term, subject to the terms and conditions of the White Lion Purchase Agreement, the Company may notify White Lion when the Company exercises its right to sell shares (the effective date of such notice, a “Notice Date”), and shall delivery the applicable shares of common stock to White Lion along with the purchase notice. The number of shares sold pursuant to any such notice may not exceed the lesser of: (i) 250% of the average of the daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock over the five business days immediately preceding the date of delivery of a purchase notice; or (ii) $750,000, divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days immediately preceding receipt of a purchase notice; and the maximum dollar amount of any purchase notice cannot exceed $750,000, subject to White Lion’s wavier of such limitations. The closing date of each sale of shares of common stock under the White Lion Purchase Agreement occurs one business day after the end of the Valuation Period (defined below).

 

The purchase price to be paid by White Lion for any such shares will equal 90% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of common stock during a period of five consecutive trading days commencing on, and following, the applicable Notice Date (the “Valuation Period”). However, if during such Valuation Period the trading price of the Company’s common stock falls below a price equal to 90% of the opening trading price of the common stock on Nasdaq on the Notice Date (the “Threshold Price”), then the number of shares to be purchased by White Lion pursuant to such notice will be reduced proportionately based on the portion of the five-trading day period that has elapsed (as discussed below), and the purchase price will equal 90% of the Threshold Price. Specifically, if the Company’s common stock trades at or below the Threshold Price during the Valuation Period, the number of shares of common stock required to be purchased by White Lion is adjusted to equal the product of (a) the total number of shares set forth in the original purchase notice and (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of hours commencing at the start of the Valuation Period and ending at the time of the trade at or below the Threshold Price (rounded up to the next whole hour, subject to a maximum of 32 hours), by (ii) 32. The amount of each purchase notice is also to be reduced by $1,000, representing the clearing costs of White Lion.

 

No purchase notice shall result in White Lion beneficially owning (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder) more than 4.9% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to a purchase notice.

 

The Company may terminate the White Lion Purchase Agreement at any time in the event of a material breach of the Agreement by White Lion. In addition, the White Lion Purchase Agreement automatically terminates on the earlier of (i) the end of the Commitment Period or (ii) the date that, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company. The Agreement may also be terminated by the Company at any time for any reason by giving written notice to White Lion, provided, the Company has issued to the Investor at least one purchase notice or the Commitment Shares (defined below).

 

 

S-9

 

 

In consideration for the commitments of White Lion, as described above, the Company has agreed that it will issue to White Lion, within three business days of the termination of the agreement, shares of common stock having a value of $22,000, priced at the lowest traded price of the common stock on the last trading day before termination of the Agreement (the “Commitment Shares”), unless the Company has issued at least one purchase notice under the White Lion Purchase Agreement, at which time no Commitment Shares shall be due. The Commitment Shares will be included in the Prospectus Supplement, to the extent allowed by applicable law, and the value of such Commitment Shares shall reduce the Commitment Amount.

 

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that the Company can sell to White Lion under the White Lion Purchase Agreement (including the Commitment Shares) may in no case exceed 1,626,208 shares of the common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the White Lion Purchase Agreement), unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue purchase shares above such limit.

 

The issuance of the purchase shares and Commitment Shares are required to be registered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266432) of which this prospectus supplement forms a part, and the related base prospectus included in the registration statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement to be filed on or before any sales of common stock begin under the White Lion Purchase Agreement (the “White Lion Prospectus Supplement”). The Company is currently unable to estimate when, if ever, initial sales will be made under the White Lion Purchase Agreement and the Company has no current plans to file a White Lion Prospectus Supplement to register the purchase shares or Commitment Shares.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (defined below), the Company is restricted from selling any securities under the White Lion Purchase Agreement until at least nine months following the effective date of the resale registration statement we are required to file to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants as discussed in greater detail below under “Private Placement Transaction”.

S-12

 

Risks Relating to Our Business:

 

We need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, which creates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern..

 

Our historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18.3 million. We have limited financial resources, as of June 30, 2022 we had working capital of $0.8 million and a cash balance of $1 million. We will need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity. These matters, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that our condensed financial statements are issued. The financial statements incorporated by reference herein do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

 

Additional financing may not be available to us when needed or, if available, it may not be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the necessary additional financing on a timely or commercially reasonable basis, we will be forced to delay or scale down some or all of our development activities (or perhaps even cease the operation of our business). Our access to additional capital may be negatively affected by future recessions, downturns in the economy or the markets as a whole, or inflation.

 

We have no commitments for any additional financing, and such commitments may not be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital, and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated expansion, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18.3 million. We have limited financial resources, as of June 30, 2022 we had working capital of $0.8 million and a cash balance of $1 million. We will need to raise additional capital or secure debt funding to support on-going operations. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless management is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements during the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The doubt regarding our potential ability to continue as a going concern may adversely affect our ability to obtain new financing on reasonable terms or at all. Additionally, if we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

 

We depend on suppliers to make their drugs and other medical products available to us for resale and are subject to risks associated with the availability of these drugs and other medical products.

 

We do not directly manufacture any of the products we sell and instead we rely on third parties to manufacture and/or procure such drugs and other medical products for us to resell. Supply chain constraints have, and may in the future have, a negative impact on the availability of drugs and medical products that we sell. Our supplier relationships could be interrupted, become less favorable to us or be terminated and the supply of these drugs or products could be interrupted or become insufficient. Supply interruptions or other disruptions in manufacturing processes could be caused by events beyond our control, including natural disasters, supplier facility shut-downs, materials pricing, including inflation of raw material costs, labor issues, wars, trade policies, natural disasters such as health epidemics, trade and shipping disruptions, port congestions, actions by U.S. or international governments, including export restrictions or tariffs and other factors beyond our or our suppliers’ control. Additionally, if our suppliers do not accurately forecast and effectively allocate production or if they are not willing to allocate sufficient production to us, it may reduce our access to products and require us to search for new suppliers. A sustained supply reduction or interruption, and an inability to develop alternative and additional sources for such supply, could result in lost sales, increased cost, damage to our reputation, and may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

S-13

 

Our industry and the broader US economy have experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures in the first three quarters of 2022, related to continued supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability. Should these conditions persist our business, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

The first three quarters of 2022 have seen significant increases in the costs of certain materials, products and shipping costs, as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed US labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in global energy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Service, materials and shipping costs have also increased accordingly with general supply chain and inflation issues seen throughout the United States leading to increased operating costs. Recent supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures may continue to adversely impact our operating costs and may negatively impact our ability to procure and ship products in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all, which could result in reduced margins and lack of products and, as a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Economic uncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.

 

Global economic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, tax rates, and the war between Ukraine and Russia which began in February 2022. These conditions remain unpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailable in the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Risks Relating to this Offering and our Securities:

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 920,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price of $1.15 per share and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 601,740 shares of our common stock for $1.15 per share (which equals the $1.14999 per common stock purchase price of the common stock being sold in this offering, plus the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each such Pre-Funded Warrants), less the Placement Agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us in each case, and a net tangible book value per share of our common stock of $0.11 as of June 30, 2022, if you purchase securities in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $1.04 per share in the net tangible book value of our common stock. See “Plan of Distribution,” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants in the offering.

 

In addition, we are selling warrants to purchase 2,663,045 shares of common stock in a concurrent private offering to the same investor as is purchasing the common stock shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, and 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. In the event that the outstanding options or warrants are exercised or settled, or that we make additional issuances of common stock or other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions, may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. As a result, purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

 

S-14

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

There is no public market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being sold in this offering or the Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering or the Private Warrants being offered in a private placement concurrently with this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Warrants will be limited.

 

Any holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Warrants will have no rights as common stockholder until such holder exercises its Pre-Funded Warrant and/or Private Warrants and acquires our common stock.

 

Until the holder of each Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Warrants exercises its Pre-Funded Warrant and/or Private Warrant and acquires shares of our common stock, such holder will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants. Upon exercise of their respective Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

A significant holder or beneficial holder of our common stock may not be permitted to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants that it holds.

 

A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Private Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) to exceed 4.99% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants and subject to such holder’s rights under the Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Warrants to increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from such holder to us; provided that the investor has increased such beneficial ownership percentage to 9.99% already in connection with the Pre-Funded Warrants. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants for shares of our common stock at a time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so. In such a circumstance, you could seek to sell your Pre-Funded Warrants or Private Warrants to realize value, but you may be unable to do so in the absence of an established trading market.

 

S-15

 

Unless and until we obtain stockholder approval to issue the shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Private Warrants in accordance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market such Private Warrants are not exercisable for common stock.

 

Unless and until we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Private Warrants in accordance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, such Private Warrants are not exercisable by the holders thereof. We may not be able to receive such stockholder approval and as such the Private Warrants may never become exercisable and may never have any value.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering or Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering or Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list such warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

 

The Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering may not have value.

 

The Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering have an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain anti-dilutive rights, and expire five years from the date stockholder approval for the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Private Warrants is received by the Company. In the event that the market price of our common stock does not exceed the exercise price of the Private Warrants during the period when they are exercisable, the Private Warrants may not have any value.

 

Resales of our common stock in the public market may cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could occur at any time. The issuance of new shares of our common stock could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

 

This offering may cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease.

 

The price per share, together with the number of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed and/or the number of Private Warrants being sold concurrently herewith, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our common stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

 

If we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants, holders may exercise such Private Warrants on a “cashless basis.”

 

If we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis”. As a result, the number of shares of common stock that holders will receive upon exercise of the Private Warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holders exercised their Private Warrants for cash. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to file a registration statement to register the Private Warrant Shares, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 calendar days of the date of the Purchase Agreement), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 181 days following the closing date of this offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the investor holds no Private Warrants or Private Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If the Private Warrants are exercised on a “cashless” basis, we will not receive any consideration from such exercises.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Warrants are speculative in nature.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants may acquire the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and holders of the Private Warrants may acquire the common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (subject to certain anti-dilution rights). Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Private Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price.

 

Provisions of the Private Warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

 

Certain provisions of the Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Private Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Private Warrants. Further, the Private Warrants provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions,” with some exception, holders of such warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase such warrants at a price described in such warrants. These and other provisions of the Private Warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

 

The Private Warrants have certain anti-dilutive rights.

 

The Private Warrants include full ratchet anti-dilutive rights in the event any shares of common stock or other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in common stock are granted, issued or sold (or the Company enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreements, are deemed to have granted, issued or sold, in each case, at a price less than the exercise price, which automatically decreases the exercise price of the Warrants upon the occurrence of such event, as described in greater detail in the warrant agreements, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.232 per share. Such anti-dilution rights, if triggered, could result in a significant decrease in the exercise price of the Private Warrants, which could result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

 

The Private Warrants may be accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of such Private Warrants may have a material effect on our financial results.

 

We are currently evaluating the terms of the warrant agreements planned to be entered into in connection with sale of the Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering. It is possible that we and/or our auditors will conclude that because of the terms of such Private Warrants, such Private Warrants should be accounted for as liability instruments. As a result, the Company would be required to classify the Private Warrants as liabilities. Under the liability accounting treatment, the Company would be required to measure the fair value of these instruments at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside our control. In the event the Private Warrants are required to be accounted for under liability accounting treatment, we will recognize noncash gains or losses due to the quarterly fair valuation of these warrants which could be material. The impact of changes in fair value on our earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and/or our stockholders’ equity, which may make it harder for us to, or prevent us from, meeting the continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

S-17

 

We are currently prohibited from filing any new registration statements on Form S-3 and effective upon the date that our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 is filed with the Commission, we will be prohibited from using our Shelf Form S-3 until at least October 2023.

 

Due to our inadvertent failure to timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K, we are currently prohibited from using Form S-3 to register securities with the Commission. Separately, effective on the date that we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, our ability to use the shelf Form S-3 of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus forms a part, will be suspended until at least October 2023. As a result, we will be required to use Form S-1, a longer-form registration statement for future offerings, and will be prohibited, after the date our 2022 Annual Report is filed, until at least October 2023, from undertaking at-the-market offerings. Furthermore, in the event that the Pre-Funded Warrants have not been exercised in full by such date, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants will need to be registered on Form S-1 in order to continue to be registered under the Securities Act.

 

There may be future sales of our common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and dilute a stockholder’s ownership of common stock.

 

The exercise of (a) any options granted to executive officers and other employees under our equity compensation plans and (b) of any warrants, and other issuances of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of the shares of our common stock. Other than the restrictions set forth in the section titled “Plan of Distribution,” we are not restricted from issuing additional shares of common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares of common stock, provided that we are subject to the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (which generally requires stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock). Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could materially adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Accordingly, our stockholders bear the risk that our future offerings will reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their stock holdings in us.

 

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. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

 

A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold in this offering, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

In this offering, we are offering shares of common stock, which represent approximately 16.9% of our outstanding common stock as of October 4, 2022 after giving effect to the sale of the shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants, and assuming the full exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants, and when including the Private Warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, that number increases to approximately 35.9% of our outstanding common stock as of October 4, 2022. These sales and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

 

S-18

 

Future sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our stockholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock. Up to $100,000,000 in total aggregate value of securities have been registered by us on a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266432) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2022, and which was declared effective on August 8, 2022. When including securities sold in this offering, there is an aggregate of over $ 97 million in securities which will be eligible for sale in the public markets from time to time, subject to the requirements of Form S-3, which limits us, until such time, if ever, as our public float exceeds $75 million, from selling securities in a public primary offering under Form S-3 with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the common stock held by non-affiliates of the Company every twelve months. Additionally, if our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. The market price for shares of our common stock may drop significantly when such securities are sold in the public markets. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

 

We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEDS”, in February 2020. On July 29, 2022, the Company received an expected letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we are not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,804,533, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Additionally, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we do not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules. This notice of noncompliance has had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. Nasdaq gave us until September 12, 2022 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance, and we submitted a compliance plan prior to that deadline. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter to evidence compliance.

 

We currently expect that we will regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) as a result of this offering; however, we may not be in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) even after this offering and may be out of compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements again in the future.

 

If our plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and we do not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter, or if we fail to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that our common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit us to appeal the decision to reject our proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Notwithstanding such current listing, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of common stock if you desire or need to sell them. Our Placement Agent is not obligated to make a market in our securities, and even if they do make a market, they can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the Placement Agent can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our securities will develop or, if developed, that such market will continue.

 

S-19

 

There is also no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market for any period of time by perpetually satisfying Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. Our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

Among the conditions required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq requires us to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years. As of June 30, 2022, our stockholders’ equity was below $2.5 million and we did not otherwise meet the net income requirements described above, and as such, we are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continue listing standards. If we fail to timely remedy our compliance with the applicable requirements, our stock may be delisted.

 

Additional requirements we must meet to continue our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market include the requirement that we maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share.

 

On September 20, 2022, the Company received an expected letter from the Nasdaq that as a result of the August 26, 2022 resignation of Ms. Christine Jennings, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2), which require that the Company’s Board be comprised of a majority of independent directors and that the Company have an Audit Committee consisting of at least three independent members, respectively, as the resignation of Ms. Jennings left the Board with four directors, only two of which are independent, and an Audit Committee consisting of only two independent members.

 

Nasdaq provided the Company a cure period to retain compliance with Nasdaq’s additional listing rules relating to independent directors and members of an issuer’s audit committee, which expires on the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or August 26, 2023; or if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before February 22, 2023, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than February 22, 2023. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq rules require Nasdaq to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Board of Directors, appointed Mr. Jeff Newell as a member of the Board of Directors, with such appointment to take effect immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Newell meets the definition of an “independent” director under SEC rules and the rules and regulations promulgated by Nasdaq. Mr. Newell was also appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, effective upon his appointment. As a result of such appointments, the Company now has a Board of Directors consisting of a majority of “independent” directors under the rules and regulations promulgated by Nasdaq and an Audit Committee consisting of three members, and believes that it meets Nasdaq’s continued listing standards as to independent board members and audit committee members; however, the Company has not received formal notice from Nasdaq of such re-compliance.

 

Even if we demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq, we will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could make trading our common stock more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq Capital Market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

 

S-20

 

Our common stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

 

The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

 

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
     
  the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
     
  we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;
     
  overall stock market fluctuations;

 

  announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;
     
  actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
     
  conditions or trends in our industry;
     
  litigation;
     
  changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
     
  future sales of common stock;
     
  departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
     
  general market conditions.

 

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

There may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for investors to sell their shares. The market price of our common stock may continue to be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock will likely continue to be highly volatile. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such as conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common stock. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.

 

S-21

 

As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a mature issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. It is possible that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will not develop or be sustained, or that trading levels will not continue. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2022:

 

on an actual basis; and
   
On an as-adjusted basis, to give effect to the sale by us, in this Offering, of 920,000 shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 601,740 shares of common stock, after deducting Placement Agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

You should read this table together with the “Use of Proceeds” section included in this prospectus, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, each of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

  26,924 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.06 per share; and
     
  408,317 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.78 per share.

 

S-22

 

The table above does not take into account the concurrent sale of the Private Warrants in a private placement which is anticipated to close at the same time as this offering.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and/or Pre-Funded Warrant and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 was approximately negative $0.4 million, or ($0.05) per share of common stock.

 

After giving effect to the sale of (i) 920,000 shares of common stock by us at the public offering price of $1.15 per share, and (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 601,740 shares of our common stock for $1.15 per share (which equals the $1.14999 per Pre-Funded Warrant purchase price for the Pre-Funded Warrants being sold in this offering, plus the $0.0001 per share exercise price of each such Pre-Funded Warrant), less the Placement Agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 would have been $1.1 million, or $0.11 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.16 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $1.04 per share to new investors.

 

All calculations of dilution in this prospectus supplement assume the sale of all of the shares and Pre-Funded Warrants offered in this offering. The following table illustrates this per-share dilution:

 

Public offering price per share       $1.15 
Net tangible book value per share of common stock as of June 30, 2022  $(0.05)     
Increase in net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing shares and Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering  $0.16      
As adjusted net tangible book per share of common stock after this offering       $0.11 
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering       $(1.04)

 

The information above is as of June 30, 2022 and:

 

  assumes no exercise of the Private Warrants;
     
  Excludes 26,924 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.06 per share; and
     
  Excludes 408,317 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.78 per share.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

 

We are offering through this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (i) 920,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 601,740 shares of our common stock. We are also registering the shares of our common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby.

 

Common Stock

 

The material terms and provisions of our common stock are described in the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock - Common Stock”, beginning on page 10 of the accompanying prospectus.

 

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the form of which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price of $0.00001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price.

 

Exercisability

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-Funded Warrants. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

S-24

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-Funded Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

 

Liquidated Damages

 

If we fail for any reason to deliver shares of common stock upon the valid exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, subject to our receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants, we are required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages as set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Pre-Funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-Funded Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Exchange Listing

 

We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants.

We will receive gross proceeds from the concurrent private placement transaction solely to the extent such warrants are exercised for cash.

Accordingly, the purchaser may only sell common stock issued upon exercise of the Private Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

 

The summary below is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Private Warrants, which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Private Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Private Warrants.

 

Private Warrants

 

Duration, Exercise Price and Anti-Dilutive Rights

 

Each Private Warrant has an exercise price of $1.50 per share, will be immediately exercisable following Stockholder Approval (discussed below) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Private Warrants become exercisable. The Private Warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price including for stock splits, stock dividend, rights offerings and pro rata distributions, and include anti-dilutive rights in the event the Company issues shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in the future with a value less than the then exercise price of such Private Warrants, subject to certain customary exceptions, and further subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.232 per share.

 

Exercisability

 

The Private Warrants may not be exercised by the holder thereof until or unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of such Private Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, including the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock on the closing date of the offering (“Stockholder Approval”).

 

The Private Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder for five years following the Initial Exercise Date, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).

 

Exercise Limitation

 

A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase or decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Private Warrants, but to no greater than 9.99%. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Private Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round such fractional share to a whole share.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may, in the event the Private Warrant Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Private Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Private Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities, the holders of the Private Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Private Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Private Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, the holders of the Private Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Private Warrant for the cash paid in the fundamental transaction in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Private Warrant on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction.

 

S-26

 

Liquidated Damages

 

If we fail for any reason to deliver shares of common stock upon the valid exercise of the Private Warrants, subject to our receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the Private Warrants, we are required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages as set forth in the Private Warrants. The Private Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the Private Warrants.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Private Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Private Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Rights as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Private Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our common shares, the holder of Private Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Private Warrant.

 

Resale/Registration Rights

 

We agreed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 calendar days of the date of the Purchase Agreement), that we would file a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 181 days following the closing date of this offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the investor owns no Private Warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof. The date such required registration statement is declared effective is defined herein as the “Effective Date”.

 

Exchange Listing

 

We do not intend to list the Private Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Private Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of, the holders of the Private Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Private Warrants.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting Placement Agent fees and paying estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $1.5 million, assuming the full exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and not including any funds we may receive as a result of the exercise of the Private Warrants, which are being issued in a concurrent private offering, exempt from registration pursuant Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of the Securities Act.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for general corporate purposes and working capital. We may also use all or a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to fund possible investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, technologies or products, but we currently have no agreements or commitments with respect to any investment or acquisition.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application and allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the proceeds in investment grade, interest-bearing instruments.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities under this shelf registration, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement(s) and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. To the extent that any statement that we make in a prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you is inconsistent with statements made in this prospectus, the statements made in this prospectus will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the prospectus supplement(s). You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement(s) and free writing prospectus, including all documents incorporated herein or therein by reference, together with additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents By Reference” before making an investment decision.

This prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement(s) and any free writing prospectus are not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the securities to which they relate and are not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation in that jurisdiction. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement(s), and any free writing prospectus, is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have previously filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement(s) and any free writing prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

Company Overview

 

We are a health services IT company focused on digitalizing the retail pharmacy experience by optimizing drug procurement, the prescription journey and patient engagement in the U.S. and have designed and developed, and now own and operate, a business-to-business web-based marketplace. Our core service brings the nation’s independent pharmacies, accredited national suppliers, and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals together to provide efficient and transparent buying and selling opportunities.

 

We began operations as Trxade Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Trxade Nevada”) in August of 2010 and spent over two years creating and enhancing our web-based services. The Company changed its name on June 1, 2021, from “Trxade Group, Inc” to “TRxADE HEALTH, INC.” Our services provide pricing transparency, purchasing capabilities and other value-added services on a single platform focused on serving the nation’s approximately 19,397 independent pharmacies with annual purchasing power of $67.1 billion (according to the National Community of Pharmacists Association’s 2021 Digest). Our national wholesale supply partners and manufacturers are able to fulfill orders on our platform in real-time and provide pharmacies and wholesale suppliers with cost-saving payment terms and next-day delivery capabilities in unrestrictive states. We have expanded significantly since 2015 and now serve approximately 13,815+ registered members on our sales platform.

 

Our Principal Products and Services and their Markets.

 

Trxade.com is a web-based pharmaceutical marketplace engaged in promoting and enabling commerce among independent pharmacies, small chains, hospitals, clinics, and alternate dispensing sites with large pharmaceutical suppliers nationally. Our marketplace has over 60 national and regional pharmaceutical suppliers providing over 120,000 branded and generic drugs, including over-the-counter drugs (OTCs), and drugs available for purchase by pharmacists. We serve approximately 13,815+ registered members, providing access to Trxade’s proprietary pharmaceutical database and data analytics regarding medication pricing. We generate revenue from these services by charging a transaction fee to the seller of the products for sales conducted via the Trxade platform. The buyers do not bear the cost of transaction fees for the purchases that they make, nor do they pay a fee to join or register with our platform. Substantially all of our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the six months ended June 30, 2022, were from platform revenue generated on www.rx.trxade.com, product sales through Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC, and prescription sales through Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC.

 

Status of current products and services.

 

We have a number of products and services still in development, which are described below.

 

Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC. Integra is intended to serve as our logistics company for pharmaceutical distribution.

 

Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC. We acquired Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CSP”), on October 15, 2018. CSP is an accredited pharmacy located in St. Petersburg, Florida. CSP has a focus on specialty medications. The company operates with an innovative pharmacy model which offers home delivery services to any patient thereby providing convenience.

 

Delivmeds.com. Delivmeds.com was launched in late 2018 as a consumer-based app to provide delivery of pharmaceutical products associated with Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC. We are currently working on reformulating the application from a prescription delivery portal to a fully integrated, interoperable, end-to-end prescription delivery and medication adherence tool. The new product has been rebranded and is targeted for consumer re-release and use in the near future. To date, we have not generated any revenue from this product.

 

3

 

Trxade Prime. Trxade Prime allows pharmacy members on the Trxade platform to process, consolidate and ship purchase orders that are placed directly with Trxade suppliers via the Trxade Prime service. This is at no cost, with the goal of offering a single tool with one low order minimum, one invoice, one package and one delivery from multiple quality wholesalers and distributors. Revenue has been generated from this service though our Integra subsidiary, which provides the consolidation of the orders.

 

Bonum Health Hub and Application. The “Bonum Health Hub”, a self-enclosed, free standing virtual examination room, was launched by the Company’s wholly-owned Bonum Health, LLC subsidiary, in November 2019 and was expected to be operational in April 2020; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company does not anticipate installations moving forward, and has taken a write off of the hubs purchased at June 30, 2021 in the amount of $143,891.

 

The “Bonum Health app”, which provides an overall healthcare experience comparable to a Primary Care practitioner, and an online portal as a personal electronic medical record and scheduling system is available on a subscription basis, primarily as a stand-alone telehealth software application that can be licensed on a business-to-business (B2B) model to clients as an employment health benefit for the clients’ employees. Revenue has been generated from this service through our Bonum subsidiary.

 

Bonum+ Business to Business (B2B). Bonum+ bundles telehealth, a COVID-19 risk assessment tool and a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) purchasing tool, through a secure mobile dashboard for corporate clients. The B2B platform eases pressure on employees who are required to report any relevant health issues daily, centralizing communication and contact tracing to deliver risk scores. This allows employers to monitor employee COVID-19 risk profiles and streamlines the ordering of new PPE as needed. An integrated artificial intelligence (AI) tool offers health recommendations and connects employees with board certified physicians, as needed. To date, we have not generated any revenue from this product.

 

MedCheks Health Passport. The Health Passport is a patient-centered, digital, precision healthcare platform that lets patients consolidate and control their health data via a digital Health Passport and allows them to share their health profile, tests and vaccinations simply and safely. Secured in a blockchain, the Health Passport includes health and vaccination status verification via a QR code, which is available for travel, entry into stadiums, concert venues, events, offices, industrial plants, warehouses, and other physical access points. The Passport stores all of a user’s health records securely in one place. We have not generated any revenue from this product to date and the product was discontinued at the end of December 2021. We previously owned 100% of MedCheks, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company which was formed in January 2021, had no revenue in 2021 and was dissolved in December 2021.

 

SOSRx, LLC. On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a relationship with Exchange Health, LLC, a technology company providing an online platform for manufacturers and suppliers to sell and purchase pharmaceuticals (“Exchange Health”). SOSRx LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SOSRx”), was formed, which is owned 51% by the Company and 49% by Exchange Health.

 

All of our product offerings are focused on the United States markets. Some products are restricted just to certain states, depending upon the various applicable state regulations and guidelines pertaining to pharmaceuticals, particularly, and drug businesses, generally. Our services are distributed through our online platform.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include:

 

  an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
     
  an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
     
  reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
     
  an exemption from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements;
     
  extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and
     
  the ability to present more limited financial data, including presenting only three years of selected financial data in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) the end of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the last day of the end of our 2024 fiscal year (5 years from our first public offering). We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act.

 

We are choosing to irrevocably “opt out” of the extended transition periods available under Section 107 of the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, but we currently intend to take advantage of the other exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you invest.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will, and any free writing prospectus may, contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and any information contained in any free writing prospectus, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement(s) or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, as such may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business and operations. If one or more of the possibilities described as risks actually occurs, our operating results and financial condition would likely suffer and the trading price of our securities could fall, causing you to lose some or all of your investment in the securities we are offering. In addition, please read “Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus, below, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade securities. The intended application of proceeds from the sale of any particular offering of securities using this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement(s) and any free writing prospectus relating to such offering. The precise amount and timing of the application of these proceeds will depend on our funding requirements and the availability and costs of other funds.

Anti-Takeover Effects Under Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

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

 

- before such date, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
   
- upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85 percent of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or an exchange offer; or
   
- on or after such date, the business combination is approved by our Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or a special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3 percent 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 or any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiary of the corporation and the interested stockholder or any other corporation, partnership, unincorporated association, or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation the transaction is not excepted as described above;
   
- any sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition (in one transaction or a series) of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
   
- subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
   
- any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
   
- the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

 

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

 

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall not be governed by Section 203 of DGCL and as a result, Section 203 of DGCL does not apply to us.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide that our board of directors will be classified. As a result, a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at one annual meeting.

 

Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive forum for certain lawsuits

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires, that unless the Company consents in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company; (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company; or (e) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein (or such indispensable parties consenting to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within 10 days following any determination by the Court of Chancery that an indispensable party is not subject to such personal jurisdiction); provided that, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses any action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in another state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with the exclusive forum requirements in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. If any provision or provision of the exclusive forum requirements in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

As a result of the above, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions. However, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. We also note that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Special meeting of stockholders

 

Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or president (in the absence of a chief executive officer). Because our stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting, a stockholder could not force stockholder consideration of a proposal over the opposition of our board of directors by calling a special meeting of stockholders prior to such time as the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or president (in the absence of a chief executive officer) believed the matter should be considered or until the next annual meeting provided that the requestor met the notice requirements. The restriction on the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting means that a proposal to replace our board of directors also could be delayed until the next annual meeting.

 

12

 

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

 

Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. Separately, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders and may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

 

Action by written consent

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken by our common stockholders may be effected by written consent of the stockholders having not less than the minimum percentage of the vote required by DGCL for the proposed corporate action.

 

Vacancies on the Board of Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock and unless otherwise required by law or resolution of our board of directors, vacancies on the board of directors arising through death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal, an increase in the number of directors or otherwise may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum.

 

Amendment to Bylaws by Stockholders

 

Subject to certain limitations preventing amendments which decrease or diminish indemnification rights provided for in our Bylaws, our Bylaws provide that any amendment to such Bylaws undertaken solely by our stockholders requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation, 2469 E. Fort Union Boulevard, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121. Its telephone number is (801) 274-1088.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share, all of which are undesignated and unissued. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

 

The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each class or series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

 

13

 

A prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. Such prospectus supplement will include:

 

  the title and stated or par value of the preferred stock;
     
  the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred stock;
     
  the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to the preferred stock;
     
  whether dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate;
     
  the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock;
     
  any voting rights of the preferred stock;
     
  the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock and any restriction on the repurchase or redemption of shares by the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments;
     
  any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange;
     
  the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock or preferred stock, including the conversion price or the manner of calculating the conversion price and conversion period;
     
  if appropriate, a discussion of Federal income tax consequences applicable to the preferred stock; and
     
  any other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock.

 

The terms, if any, on which the preferred stock may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or preferred stock will also be stated in the prospectus supplement. The terms will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder and/or at our option, and may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or preferred stock to be received by the holders of preferred stock would be subject to adjustment.

 

When we issue shares of preferred stock, the shares will be fully paid and non-assessable, which means the full purchase price of the shares will have been paid and holders of the shares will not be assessed any additional monies for the shares. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement indicates otherwise, each series of the preferred stock will rank equally with any outstanding shares of our preferred stock and each other series of the preferred stock. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the preferred stock will have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities which are issued by us, meaning, the holders of shares of preferred stock will have no right to buy any portion of the issued securities.

 

In addition, unless the applicable prospectus indicates otherwise, we will have the right to “reopen” a previous issue of a series of preferred stock by issuing additional preferred stock of such series.

 

The transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and redemption agent for shares of each series of preferred stock will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

 

We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the “Trust Indenture Act.” We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities.

 

General

 

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us.

 

We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount,” or “OID,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of debt securities being offered, including:

 

  the title and form of the debt securities;
     
  any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the series of which they are a part;
     
  the person to whom any interest on a debt security of the series will be paid;
     
  the date or dates on which we must repay the principal;
     
  the rate or rates at which the debt securities will bear interest;
     
  the date or dates from which interest will accrue, and the dates on which we must pay interest;

 

15

 

  the place or places where we must pay the principal and any premium or interest on the debt securities;
     
  the terms and conditions on which we may redeem any debt security, if at all;
     
  any obligation to redeem or purchase any debt securities, and the terms and conditions on which we must do so;
     
  the denominations in which we may issue the debt securities;
     
  the manner in which we will determine the amount of principal of or any premium or interest on the debt securities;
     
  the currency in which we will pay the principal of and any premium or interest on the debt securities;
     
  the principal amount of the debt securities that we will pay upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity;
     
  the amount that will be deemed to be the principal amount for any purpose, including the principal amount that will be due and payable upon any maturity or that will be deemed to be outstanding as of any date;
     
  if applicable, that the debt securities are defeasible and the terms of such defeasance;
     
  if applicable, the terms of any right to convert debt securities into, or exchange debt securities for, shares of our debt securities, common stock, or other securities or property;
     
  whether we will issue the debt securities in the form of one or more global securities and, if so, the respective depositaries for the global securities and the terms of the global securities;
     
  the subordination provisions that will apply to any subordinated debt securities;
     
  any addition to or change in the events of default applicable to the debt securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the holders to declare the principal amount of any of the debt securities due and payable;
     
  any addition to or change in the covenants in the indentures; and
     
  any other terms of the debt securities not inconsistent with the applicable indentures.

 

We may sell the debt securities at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe U.S. federal income tax considerations, if any, applicable to debt securities sold at an original issue discount in the prospectus supplement. An “original issue discount security” is any debt security sold for less than its face value, and which provides that the holder cannot receive the full face value if maturity is accelerated. The prospectus supplement relating to any original issue discount securities will describe the particular provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity upon the occurrence of an event of default. In addition, we will describe U.S. federal income tax or other considerations applicable to any debt securities that are denominated in a currency or unit other than U.S. dollars in the prospectus supplement.

  any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities, any other additions or changes in the provisions of the indenture, and any terms that may be required by us or advisable under applicable laws or regulations.

 

Conversion and Exchange Rights

 

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

 

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, as appropriate. If the debt securities are convertible into or exchangeable for our other securities or securities of other entities, we or the person with whom we consolidate or merge or to whom we sell all of our property must make provisions for the conversion of the debt securities into securities that the holders of the debt securities would have received if they had converted the debt securities before the consolidation, merger or sale.

 

18

 

Events of Default Under the Indenture

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

  if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;
     
  if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;
     
  if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
     
  if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

 

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

  the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
     
  subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

19

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

 

  the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;
     
  the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and
     
  the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

 

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

We and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:

 

  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series;
     
  to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities—Consolidation, Merger or Sale”;

 

  to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;
     
  to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture;
     
  to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture;
     
  to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect;
     
  to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under “Description of Debt Securities—General” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;
     
  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or
     
  to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

  extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series;
     
  reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or
     
  reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

 

20

 

Discharge

 

Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

  provide for payment;
     
  register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
     
  replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
     
  pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series;
     
  maintain paying agencies;
     
  hold monies for payment in trust;
     
  recover excess money held by the trustee;
     
  compensate and indemnify the trustee; and
     
  appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, or “DTC,” or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of such terms will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

21

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

  issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
     
  register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Information Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

22

 

Defeasance

 

To the extent stated in the prospectus supplement, we may elect to apply the provisions in the indentures relating to defeasance and discharge of indebtedness, or to defeasance of restrictive covenants, to the debt securities of any series. The indentures provide that, upon satisfaction of the requirements described below, we may terminate all of our obligations under the debt securities of any series and the applicable indenture, known as legal defeasance, other than our obligation:

 

  to maintain a registrar and paying agents and hold monies for payment in trust;
     
  to register the transfer or exchange of the notes; and
     
  to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes.

 

In addition, we may terminate our obligation to comply with any restrictive covenants under the debt securities of any series or the applicable indenture, known as covenant defeasance.

 

We may exercise our legal defeasance option even if we have previously exercised our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise either defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of the occurrence of events of default.

 

To exercise either defeasance option as to debt securities of any series, we must irrevocably deposit in trust with the trustee money and/or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the United States that will provide money in an amount sufficient in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities. We may only establish this trust if, among other things:

 

  no event of default shall have occurred or be continuing;
     
  in the case of legal defeasance, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or there has been a change in law, which in the opinion of our counsel, provides that holders of the debt securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;
     
  in the case of covenant defeasance, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and
     
  we satisfy other customary conditions precedent described in the applicable indenture.

 

Notices

 

We will mail notices to holders of debt securities as indicated in the prospectus supplement.

 

Title

 

We may treat the person in whose name a debt security is registered as the absolute owner, whether or not such debt security may be overdue, for the purpose of making payment and for all other purposes.

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

General

 

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements and free writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, which may consist of warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be issued in one or more series. Warrants may be offered independently or in combination with common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, or as a part of units, offered by the prospectus supplement. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following description of warrants will apply to the warrants offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may specify different or additional terms.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that describe the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of such warrants. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the warrants are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses, and the complete form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, and any supplemental agreements, that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants to purchase our common stock or preferred stock will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following:

 

  the title of the warrants;
     
  the offering price for the warrants, if any;
     
  the aggregate number of the warrants;
     
  the designation and terms of the common stock, preferred stock or debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants;
     
  if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each security;
     
  if applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and any securities issued with the warrants will be separately transferable;
     
  the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock that may be purchased upon exercise of a warrant and the exercise price for the warrants;
     
  the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and expire;
     
  if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
     
  the currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable;

 

24

 

  if applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations;
     
  the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any;
     
  the redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the warrants;
     
  any provisions with respect to a holder’s right to require us to repurchase the warrants upon a change in control; and
     
  any additional material terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.

 

Holders of warrants will not be entitled to:

 

  vote, consent or receive dividends;
     
  receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or
     
  exercise any rights as stockholders of the Company.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus at the exercise price that we describe 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 specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant or warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent, if applicable, in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of any warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to any warrant agent.

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and any warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of any warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

Each warrant agent, if any, 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, its warrants.

 

25

 

Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreements

 

We and the relevant warrant agent may, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in number of the outstanding unexercised warrants affected, modify or amend the warrant agreement and the terms of the warrants. However, the warrant agreements may be amended or supplemented without the consent of the holders of the warrants issued thereunder to effect changes that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and that do not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holders of each warrant affected:

 

  reduce the amount receivable upon exercise, cancellation or expiration;
     
  shorten the period of time during which the warrants may be exercised;
     
  otherwise materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the beneficial owners of the warrants; or
     
  reduce the percentage of outstanding warrants whose holders must consent to modification or amendment of the applicable warrant agreement or the terms of the warrants.

 

Anti-dilution and Other Adjustments

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by a warrant, are subject to adjustment in certain events, including:

 

  the issuance of common stock as a dividend or distribution on the common stock;
     
  subdivisions and combinations of the common stock (or as applicable to warrants to purchase preferred stock and the preferred stock);
     
  the issuance to all holders of common stock of capital stock rights entitling them to subscribe for or purchase common stock within 45 days after the date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such capital stock rights, at less than the current market price; and
     
  the distribution to all holders of common stock of evidence of our indebtedness or assets (excluding certain cash dividends and distributions described below) or rights or warrants (excluding those referred to above).

 

We may, in lieu of making any adjustment in the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by, a warrant, make proper provision so that each holder of such warrant who exercises such warrant (or any portion thereof):

 

  before the record date for such distribution of separate certificates, shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, shares of common stock issued with capital stock rights; and
     
  after such record date and prior to the expiration, redemption or termination of such capital stock rights, shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise, in addition to the shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise, the same number of such capital stock rights as would a holder of the number of shares of common stock that such warrants so exercised would have entitled the holder thereof to acquire in accordance with the terms and provisions applicable to the capital stock rights if such warrant was exercised immediately prior to the record date for such distribution.

 

Common stock owned by or held for our account or for the account of any of our majority owned subsidiaries will not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any adjustment.

 

26

 

No adjustment in the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by, a warrant will be made for regular quarterly or other periodic or recurring cash dividends or distributions of cash dividends or distributions to the extent paid from retained earnings. Except as stated above, the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by, a warrant will not be adjusted for the issuance of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing.

 

In the case of a reclassification or change of the common stock, a consolidation or merger involving us or sale or conveyance to another corporation of our property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case as a result of which holders of our common stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such common stock, the holders of the warrants then outstanding will be entitled thereafter to convert such warrants into the kind and number of shares of stock and amount of other securities or property which they would have received upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had such warrants been exercised immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

 

Governing Law

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue, in one more series, units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in any combination in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

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 unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:

 

  the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
     
  any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
     
  any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

27

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock,” “Description of Debt Securities” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, debt security, or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

We, and any unit agent and any of their agents, may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish. This section summarizes terms of the units that apply generally to all series. Most of the financial and other specific terms of a particular series will be described in the prospectus supplement.

 

Governing Law

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus, the units and unit agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

 

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

 

We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee, depositary or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.

 

Book-Entry Holders

 

We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

 

Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Securities issued in global form will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.

 

As a result, investors in a book-entry security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not holders, of the securities.

 

28

 

Street Name Holders

 

We may terminate a global security or issue securities in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.

 

For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.

 

Legal Holders

 

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee and of any third parties employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.

 

For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect holders is up to the holders.

 

Special Considerations For Indirect Holders

 

If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

 

  the performance of third-party service providers;
     
  how it handles securities payments and notices;
     
  whether it imposes fees or charges;
     
  how it would handle a request for the holders’ consent, if ever required;
     
  whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future;
     
  how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and
     
  if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters.

 

29

 

Global Securities

 

A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.

 

Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, DTC will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.

 

A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under the section entitled “Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated” in this prospectus. As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.

 

If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued in global form only, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.

 

Special Considerations For Global Securities

 

The rights of an indirect holder relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

 

If securities are issued only in the form of a global security, an investor should be aware of the following:

 

  an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;
     
  an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;
     
  an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;
     
  an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in a global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;
     
  the depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in a global security;
     
  we and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in a global security, nor do we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way;
     
  the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in a global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well;
     
  financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in a global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities; and
     
  There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.

 

30

 

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

 

In a few special situations described below, the global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own name, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

 

  if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;
     
  if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or
     
  if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the applicable prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and not we or any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus in any one or more of the following ways from time to time:

 

  directly to investors, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions;
     
  to investors through agents;
     
  directly to agents;
     
  to or through brokers or dealers;
     
  to the public through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters;
     
  to one or more underwriters acting alone for resale to investors or to the public;
     
  through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  through agents on a best-efforts basis; and
     
  through a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

31

 

We may also sell the securities offered by this prospectus in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act (including as discussed in greater detail below).

 

Sales may be affected in transactions:

 

  on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including the NASDAQ Capital Market in the case of shares of our common stock;
     
  in the over-the-counter market;
     
  in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
     
  through the writing of options; or
     
  through the settlement of short sales.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the offering and the method of distribution and will identify any firms acting as underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, including:

 

  the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;
     
  the amount of securities underwritten;
     
  the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us from the sale;
     
  any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
     
  any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents;
     
  any public offering price;
     
  any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
     
  any material relationships between the underwriters and the Company; and
     
  any securities exchange or market on which the securities offered in the prospectus supplement may be listed.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions.

 

Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the securities distribution may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

32

 

The distribution of the securities may be affected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at prices determined as the applicable prospectus supplement specifies.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and also may receive commissions from securities purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than shares of common stock of the Company, which are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or listed on the exchange where our common stock is then listed, subject where applicable, to official notice of issuance and where applicable, subject to the requirements of the exchange (which in some cases require stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock). We may elect to list any series of debt securities or preferred stock, on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters 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, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

 

In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. Underwriters may engage in overallotment. If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the offer of securities, or their affiliates or associates, may have engaged or engage in transactions with and perform services for, us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they may have received or receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with any derivative transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

 

Selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

At-the-Market Offerings

 

Upon written instruction from us, a sales agent party to a distribution agency agreement with us will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf, as our agent, the shares of common stock offered as agreed upon by us and the sales agent. We will designate the maximum amount of shares of common stock to be sold through the sales agent, on a daily basis or otherwise as we and the sales agent agree. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable distribution agency agreement, the sales agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as our sales agent and on our behalf, all of the designated shares of common stock. We may instruct the sales agent not to sell shares of common stock if the sales cannot be affected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We may suspend the offering of shares of common stock under any distribution agency agreement by notifying the sales agent. Likewise, the sales agent may suspend the offering of shares of common stock under the applicable distribution agency agreement by notifying us of such suspension.

 

We also may sell shares to the sales agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to the sales agent as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the terms of such transaction.

 

The offering of common stock pursuant to a distribution agency agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all shares of common stock subject to the distribution agency agreement or (2) the termination of the distribution agency agreement by us or by the sales agent.

 

Sales agents under our distribution agency agreements may make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The name of any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our common stock, the amounts underwritten, and the nature of its obligations to take our common stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
