This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in Items 1.01, 3.02 and 5.02, and the related exhibits to such items from our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2023.

On November 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Peak Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (formerly known as Ignyte Acquisition Corp.) (“Ignyte”) consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated April 28, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Ignyte, Ignyte Korea Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Korean Sub”) and Peak Bio Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Peak Bio Co., Ltd.”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between Ignyte and Co., Ltd. was effected on November 1, 2022 in which the (i) stockholders of Peak Bio Co. transferred their respective shares of common stock of Peak Bio Co., Ltd., par value KRW 500 per share (the “Target Common Stock”), to Korean Sub in exchange for shares of Common Stock of the Company held by Korean Sub, and (ii) in the course of such share swap, Korean Sub distributed the shares of Target Common Stock to the Company in consideration of the Company’s Common Stock (which was in-turn delivered to the stockholders of Peak Bio Co., Ltd. as described in (i) above ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Share Swap”, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of the Share Swap, Peak Bio Co., Ltd. became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ignyte. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company was renamed Peak Bio, Inc. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company issued 17,295,044 shares of Common Stock to stockholders of Peak Bio Co., Ltd. (the “Target Consideration Shares”) as part of the Aggregate Closing Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).


On the Closing Date, a purchaser (the “Original Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Ignyte Common Stock (the “Original PIPE Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into effective as of April 28, 2022 (the “Original Subscription Agreement”).

On the Closing Date, a number of additional purchasers (each, a “New Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of (i) 302,500 shares of Common Stock (the “New PIPE Shares”) and (ii) 281,325 warrants (the “PIPE Financing Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $3,025,000, pursuant to separate subscription agreements that became effective as of October 31, 2022 (each a “New Subscription Agreement”). The PIPE Financing Warrants are on terms substantially the same as the outstanding warrants that were included in the units issued in Ignyte’s IPO, except that the PIPE Financing Warrants are not redeemable, and are exercisable for one year.

On the Closing Date, a number of Peak Bio’s lenders (each, a “Bridge Loan PIPE Subscriber” and together with the Original Subscriber and the New Subscribers, the “Subscribers”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of (i) 176,579 shares of Common Stock (the “Bridge Loan PIPE Shares”) and (ii) 164,220 warrants (the “Bridge Loan PIPE Financing Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, in consideration for their agreement to cancel an aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000 and the interest accrued thereon in promissory notes evidencing the loans such lenders had extended to Peak Bio between July and September 2022, pursuant to separate subscription agreements entered into effective as of October 31, 2022 (each a “Bridge Loan PIPE Subscription Agreement”). The Bridge Loan PIPE Financing Warrants are on terms substantially the same as the outstanding warrants that were included in the units issued in Ignyte’s IPO, except that the Bridge Loan PIPE Financing Warrants are not redeemable, and are exercisable for one year.

On December 30, 2022, an additional purchaser (a “Subsequent New Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of (i) 50,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Subsequent New PIPE Shares” and together with the Original PIPE Shares, the New PIPE Shares, and the Bridge Loan PIPE Shares, the “PIPE Shares”) and (ii) 46,500 warrants (the “Subsequent PIPE Financing Warrants” and together with the PIPE Financing Warrants and the Bridge Loan PIPE Financing Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into effective as of December 29, 2022 (the “Subsequent New Subscription Agreement” and together with the Original Subscription Agreement, the New Subscription Agreements, and the Bridge Loan PIPE Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”). The transactions contemplated by the Subscriptions Agreements are referred to herein as the “PIPE Financing.” The Subsequent PIPE Financing Warrants are on terms substantially the same as the outstanding warrants that were included in the units issued in Ignyte’s IPO, except that the new warrants are not redeemable, and the warrants shall be exercisable for one year.

On the Closing Date, Ignyte entered into payment agreements (the “Payment Agreements”) with each of (i) the Sponsor and (ii) Ingalls & Snyder, LLC (“Ingalls”). The Payment Agreements provided that Ignyte, at the closing of the Business Combination, would issue shares of Common Stock to each of the Sponsor and Ingalls, as consideration for (i) the working capital loans extended to Ignyte by the Sponsor and (ii) the marketing and consulting services provided to Ignyte by Ingalls. Therefore, the Company issued (i) 77,200 shares of Common Stock to the Sponsor in lieu of repayment of $400,000 in working capital loans and (ii) 28,950 shares of Common Stock to Ingalls in lieu of the $150,000 fee owed by Ignyte.


The shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants held by the Selling Securityholders (including White Lion), when sold, will be offered and sold by the Selling Securityholders (including White Lion) at a fixed price per share of $1.30, until our Common Stock is quoted on a national securities exchange, the OTC Markets’ “OTCQB” or “OTCQX” tiers, and thereafter the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise the Private Warrants may be sold publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or Warrants (as defined in the Prospectus) by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, however, we will receive proceeds from our sale of shares of Common Stock to White Lion and exercise of the Warrants, when applicable.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the “Pink” tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “PKBO.” On March 16, 2023, the closing price of our Common Stock was $1.00.
