EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “Indaptus”), formerly Intec Parent, Inc., was established and incorporated in Delaware on February 24, 2021 as a private Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Intec Pharma Ltd. (“Intec Israel”), an Israeli company and the predecessor of Indaptus. On August 3, 2021, Indaptus completed its merger with Decoy Biosystems, Inc. (“Decoy”) following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 15, 2021 among Indaptus, Decoy, Intec Israel, Domestication Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Indaptus (“Domestication Merger Sub”), and Dillon Merger Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Indaptus (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Decoy, with Decoy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Indaptus (the “Merger”). Previously, on July 27, 2021, Intec Israel, Indaptus and Domestication Merger Sub completed the domestication merger pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated April 27, 2021, whereby Domestication Merger Sub merged with and into Intec Israel, with Intec Israel being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indaptus (the “Domestication Merger”). Also, in connection with the Merger, Indaptus changed its name from “Intec Parent, Inc.” to “Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc.” and the business conducted by Decoy became the business conducted by Indaptus.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Decoy common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Decoy Common Stock”) (including shares issuable upon the conversion of Decoy SAFEs (Simple Agreements for Future Equity) and Decoy preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, into Decoy Common Stock) converted into 2.654353395 shares of Indaptus common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Indaptus Common Stock”). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding and unexercised Decoy stock option converted into a stock option under Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) exercisable for that number of shares of common stock of Indaptus subject to such option and the exercise price being appropriately adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio.

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering the shares of Indaptus Common Stock issuable under the Plan with respect to stock options issued in connection with the Merger and stock options issued from time to time under the Plan on or after the date hereof.

 

Selected Financial Information

 

On July 26, 2021, after the close of trading, Intec Israel effected a 1-for-4 reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary shares, as well as reduced its authorized shares from 17,500,000 ordinary shares to 4,375,000 ordinary shares. Any fraction of an ordinary share that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse share split was rounded up to the next whole number.

 

The following selected financial data has been derived from Intec Israel’s audited financial statements included in Intec Israel’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2021, and Intec Israel’s unaudited financial statements included in Intec Israel’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, as adjusted to reflect the one-for-four reverse share split for all periods presented. Intec Israel unaudited financial statements included in Indaptus’ (successor to Intec Israel) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, gave retroactive effect to the one-for-four reverse share split for all periods presented.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Registrant is subject to the laws of Delaware on corporate matters, including its indemnification provisions. Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to these provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

 

Under the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is in any way involved in any threatened, pending or completed action suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or was serving at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise (including any subsidiary), may be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant, and the Registrant may advance all expenses incurred by such person in defense of any such proceeding prior to its final determination, if this person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Registrant’s best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification provided in the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

 

The Registrant maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of the Registrant’s directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Registrant’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

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

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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