This prospectus supplement No. 10 supplements the prospectus dated December 15, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), which covers the offer and resale by the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 45,431 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting of (i) 13,947 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-1 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (all of which have since been exercised), (ii) 8,950 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-1 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which Series A-1 Warrants are issuable upon exercise of Series T Warrants, assuming that the Series T Warrants have been exercised in full by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Series T Warrants) in cash, (iii) 8,950 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-2 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which Series A-2 Warrants are issuable upon exercise of Series T Warrants, assuming that the Series T Warrants have been exercised in full by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash, (iv) 8,950 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series T Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”), and (v) 4,632 shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Exchange Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. We registered these shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on behalf of the selling stockholder, to be offered and sold by them from time to time. The foregoing share numbers have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock that became effective at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on January 29, 2024 and the one-for-thirteen reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock that became effective at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on June 17, 2024.
We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under the Prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of such shares. We are paying the cost of registering the shares of Common Stock covered by the Prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholder is responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares.
Sales of the shares by the selling stockholder may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices and/or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The selling stockholder may sell shares directly or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder, the purchasers of the shares, or both. The selling stockholder may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by the Prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the selling stockholder may sell their shares of Common Stock hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part. We provide more information about how the selling stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 119 of the Prospectus.
You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto. This prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the Prospectus except to the extent that the information in the prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the Prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto.
Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GRI.” On June 17, 2024, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $2.86 per share.
Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 35 of Prospectus Supplement No. 5 to the Prospectus, dated March 28, 2024.

On June 16, 2024, the board of directors of GRI Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement, dated July 1, 2023 (the “Employment Agreement”), between the Company and Albert Agro, Ph.D., its Chief Medical Officer. The Amendment became effective on June 17, 2024.
The Amendment provides that Dr. Agro is required to work at least 70 hours per month for the Company, and may devote the balance of his time to other consulting or employment activities. In addition, Dr. Agro’s current annual base salary of $325,000 has been reduced to $100,000 and he is no longer eligible for an annual cash performance bonus under his Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, Dr. Agro’s Employment Agreement no longer provides for severance payments upon Dr. Agro’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason. Instead, his employment may be terminated by either the Company or Dr. Agro upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party, upon which termination, the Company will pay to Dr. Agro any portion of Dr. Agro’s annual base salary earned through the effective date of the termination and any business expenses then-unreimbursed.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which will be filed by amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
