1,092,905 shares of Common Stock

 

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling securityholders identified in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 1,092,905 shares (the “Common Shares”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), consisting of (i) up to 922,937 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) that were issued by us to certain institutional and accredited investors, and certain of our officers and directors, in concurrent private placement transactions completed on August 2, 2023, and (ii) up to 169,968 shares of Common Stock issued to such officers and directors in one of the concurrent private placements.

 

We are registering the resale of the Common Shares as required by the securities purchase agreements for the concurrent private placements. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of Common Stock by the selling securityholders or their permitted transferees. To the extent the Warrants are exercised for cash, if at all, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants. Each such Warrant is exercisable beginning six months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $4.35 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant) and expires five years from the initial exercise date.

 

The selling securityholders may sell the Common Shares in a number of different ways and at varying prices that will be determined by the prevailing market price for the shares or in negotiated transactions. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the selling securityholders may sell the Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The selling securityholders will pay all brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses. We will pay certain expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering the Common Shares, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ ECOR.” On August 24, 2023, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $4.88 per share.

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, please read the information under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus and under similar headings in any amendment or supplement to this prospectus or in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that is incorporated by reference herein.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties for purposes of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this prospectus other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, liquidity, future revenue, projected expenses, results of operations, expectations concerning the timing and our ability to commence and subsequently report data from planned non-clinical studies and clinical trials, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “seek,” “will,” “estimate,” “expect,” “would,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” “project,” “opportunity,” “goals,” “target,” or “should,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

 

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

 

●We have a history of significant losses. If we do not achieve and sustain profitability, our financial condition could suffer. Our failure to become and remain profitable could negatively impact the results of our operations and your investment.

 

●We will be required to obtain additional funds in the future, and these funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

●Commercializing our gammaCore SAPPHIRE® therapy for additional neurological conditions may require clinical trials that are very expensive, time-consuming, difficult to design and implement and involve uncertain outcomes. Furthermore, results of earlier preclinical studies and clinical trials may not be predictive of results of future preclinical studies, clinical trials or commercial success.

 

3

 

 

●We recently launched our Truvaga® and TAC-STIM® branded products for wellness and human performance. Commercialization of these products may be very expensive, time consuming and may not generate favorable financial results.

 

●Our business is subject to extensive governmental regulation that makes it expensive and time consuming for us to bring our gammaCore therapy and our general wellness products to market in the United States and other countries and to expand the use of our gammaCore therapy to additional therapeutic indications, and to expand the reach of our wellness initiatives.

 

●Risks associated with a failure to maintain regulatory approvals or clearances and other risk relating to the regulation of our industry and products including the conformity of our wellness products under FDA general wellness regulatory guidance.

 

●We depend heavily on revenue from the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs for a substantial portion of our business. Changes in the U.S. Government’s priorities, or delays or reductions in spending could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

●Our potential revenue in the United Kingdom is substantially dependent on government funding arrangements and changes in governmental policy for such arrangements could cause material harm to our business.

 

●We must demonstrate to patients, physicians and third-party payers the medical and economic benefits of our gammaCore therapy compared to those of our competitors or other available therapies and such comparisons may not be realizable.

 

●Our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter because of seasonality, bulk orders, shipments to distributors or otherwise.

 

●If we fail to develop and retain an effective sales force, our business could suffer.

 

●If our competitors are better able to develop and market primary headache treatments that are safer, more effective, less costly, easier to use or otherwise more attractive than our gammaCore therapy, our business and business prospects will be adversely impacted

 

●Many of our primary headache competitors are large, well-established companies with substantially greater resources than us and have a long history of competing in the migraine or wellness markets.

 

●Our international operations subject us to certain operating and compliance risks, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

●We may not be able to establish or strengthen our brands.

 

●We rely upon primary, secondary, and sole source third-party suppliers located in China and elsewhere for components and packaging of our gammaCore products, which suppliers have paused delivery at our request, thereby making us vulnerable to supply shortages, price fluctuations, and an inability to reactivate supply chains, if necessary, all of which could harm our business.

 

●Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

 

●We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock, and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Common Stock.

 

●Our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock at or above the price you paid.

Our forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, and under a similar heading in any other annual, periodic or current report incorporated by reference into this prospectus or that we may file with the SEC in the future. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge quickly and from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus, may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

 

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of such statements, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

 

You should also read carefully the factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, and under a similar heading in any annual, periodic or current report incorporated by reference into this prospectus, to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our future public filings.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

 

This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. For a more complete understanding of our company, you should read and consider carefully the more detailed information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and the factors under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus, before making an investment decision about investing in our Common Stock.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a commercial stage bioelectronic medicine and wellness company dedicated to improving health through our non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (“nVNS”) technology platform. Our focus is the commercialization of medical devices for the management and treatment of certain medical conditions and the development and commercialization of consumer product offerings utilizing nVNS to promote general wellbeing and human performance in the United States and select overseas markets.

 

nVNS is a platform bioelectronic technology that modulates neurotransmitters and immune function through its effects on both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Our nVNS treatment is delivered through a proprietary high-frequency burst waveform that safely and comfortably passes through the skin and stimulates therapeutically relevant fibers in the vagus nerve. Various scientific publications suggest that nVNS works through several mechanistic pathways including the modulation of neurotransmitters.

 

Historically, vagus nerve stimulation or VNS, required an invasive surgical procedure to implant a costly medical device. This limitation has generally limited VNS from being used by anyone other than the most severe patients. Our medical devices and wellness products are self-administered and intended for regular or intermittent use over many years.

 

Our business is supported by our in-house capabilities spanning research and development, regulatory affairs and compliance, sales and marketing, product testing, assembly, fulfillment, and customer support. We derive revenues from the sale of medical devices and wellness products in the United States and select overseas markets. We have two principal product categories:

 

● Handheld, personal use medical devices for the management and treatment of certain medical conditions; and

 

● Handheld, personal use consumer product offerings utilizing nVNS technology to promote general wellbeing and human performance.

 

We believe our nVNS treatment may be used in the future to effectively treat additional medical conditions, promote general wellbeing, or improve human performance.

 

Our goal is to be a leader in non-invasive neuromodulation by using our proprietary nVNS platform technology to deliver better health. To achieve this, we offer multiple propositions:

 

● Prescription gammaCore medical devices for the treatment of certain medical conditions such as primary headache;

 

● Our Truvaga product for the support of general health and wellbeing; and

 

● Our TAC-STIM product for human performance as defined by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory.

Our gammaCore product is a prescription medical device currently FDA cleared for a variety of primary headache conditions. It is available by prescription only and our flagship model, gammaCore Sapphire, is a portable, reusable, rechargeable and reloadable personal use option for patients to use at home or on the go. Prescriptions are written by a health care provider and dispensed from a specialty pharmacy, through the patient’s healthcare provider or fulfilled directly to certain patients directly from our facility in Rockaway, NJ. After the initial prescription is filled, access to additional therapy can be refilled for certain of our gammaCore medical devices periodically through the input of a prescription-only authorization.

 

Our Truvaga product is a personal use consumer electronics wellness product that does not require a prescription and is available direct-to-consumer from electroCore at www.truvaga.com. Our Truvaga product is not intended for medical use.

 

Our TAC-STIM product is a form of nVNS for human performance and has been developed in collaboration with the United States Department of Defense Biotech Optimized for Operational Solutions and Tactics, or “BOOST” program.

 

In June 2023, we announced that our TAC-STIM product, had been selected to be a part of the Air Force Research Laboratories, or “AFRL”, Real-Time Assessing and Augmenting Cognitive Performance in Extreme Environments, or “A2PEX” Grant Program. A2PEX is a five-year project led by the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, or “IHMC” that includes internationally recognized leaders in wearable technologies from industry and academia. The goal of A2PEX is to build a wearable system to sense, assess and augment cognitive performance in operational environments. Sensors developed by A2PEX partners will develop electrophysiological and biomarker sensors to assess Airmen stress/fatigue in extreme environments. electroCore’s proprietary TAC-STIM nVNS product has been commissioned by IHMC for integration into the A2PEX system with the goal of mitigating fatigue and augmenting performance.

 

We are exploring strategies to make our TAC-STIM product available to other branches of the active-duty military and certain human performance professionals in the United States and abroad.

 

Our TAC-STIM product is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, prevent, or treat a disease or condition.

 

We have focused most of our historical sales efforts in two channels, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Defense, or VA/DoD, and the United Kingdom utilizing our FDA cleared and CE marked product, gammaCore medical device.

 

The United States Department of Veteran Affairs comprised 58.6% and 59.8% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. We expect that a majority of our 2023 sales will be made pursuant to our qualifying contract under the Federal Supply Schedule or FSS, which was secured by us in December 2018, as well as open market sales to individual facilities within the government channels. The FSS is scheduled to expire on January 15, 2024. We have submitted a renewal application for extension of our qualifying contract under the FSS from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Procurement and Logistics, but there is no assurance the FSS will be renewed, if at all, or renewed at terms favorable to us. Our sales function in this channel is comprised of electroCore employees and independent contractors.

 

Sales under the Med Tech Funding Mandate, or MTFM, program for cluster headache in the UK comprised 8.0% and 8.7% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the remainder of 2023, we plan on continued expansion under this program, as well as continue to utilize distribution partners to commercialize our nVNS technology in territories outside the United States and United Kingdom. In 2023, we expect NICE to review the guidance document and any changes in recommendation or pricing may adversely impact our ability to work with NHS England on the MTFM program.

Recent Offerings

 

On August 2, 2023, we consummated the transaction (the “Registered Direct Offering”) contemplated by a securities purchase agreement (the “Registered Direct Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) providing for the sale by us of (i) 1,062,600 registered shares (the “RD Shares”) of Common Stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “RD Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 613,314 shares of Common Stock (the “RD Pre-funded Warrant Shares”). In a concurrent private placement, we issued and sold to the Purchasers warrants to purchase up to 837,955 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Warrants”). Each share of Common Stock in the Registered Direct Offering was sold together with one-half of one PIPE Warrant at a combined effective offering price of $4.4125 per share and related warrant. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable commencing six months after the date of issuance at a price of $4.35 per share and will expire five years after they first become exercisable.

 

In a separate concurrent private placement, on August 2, 2023, we consummated the transaction contemplated by a separate securities purchase agreement with certain officers and directors of the Company (the “Private Agreements”), providing for the sale by us of (i) 169,968 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Shares” and together with the RD Shares, the “Shares”), and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 84,982 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Warrants”). Each Private Share was sold together with one-half of one Private Warrant at a combined effective offering price of $4.4125 per share and related warrant. The Private Warrants issued and sold to these officers and directors have the same terms as the PIPE Warrants sold to the institutional and accredited investors.

 

The Shares were sold at a purchase price of $4.35 per share. The RD Pre-funded Warrants were sold at a purchase price of $4.35 minus $0.001 per Pre-Funded Warrant, and are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The PIPE Warrants and Private Warrants are only exercisable for whole shares of Common Stock.

 

We also entered into a letter agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Paulson Investment Company, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the exclusive placement agent for us in connection with the Registered Direct Offering. We paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of $300,000 and agreed to customary indemnification obligations to the Placement Agent.

 

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part relates to the resale of the Private Shares issued pursuant to the Private Agreements and to the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the PIPE Warrants and Private Warrants upon exercise of such warrants.

We are registering the resale of 1,092,905 shares of Common Stock, including 922,937 shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, held by the selling securityholders identified below to permit such selling securityholders, or their permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, to resell or otherwise dispose of these shares in the manner contemplated under the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus (as may be supplemented and amended). For additional information regarding the transactions pursuant to which we offered and sold such Securities to the selling securityholders, see “Recent Offerings” in “Prospectus Summary” above.

 

The selling securityholders may sell some, all or none of their Common Shares. We do not know how long each of the selling securityholder will hold their Common Shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling securityholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the Common Shares. The Common Shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling securityholders. As a result, we cannot estimate the number of shares of Common Stock each of the selling securityholders will beneficially own after termination of sales under this prospectus. In addition, the selling securityholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock since the date on which it provided information for this table.

 

The following table sets forth the name of each selling securityholder, the number and percentage of our outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling securityholder as of August 4, 2023, the number of Common Shares that may be offered under this prospectus, and the number and percentage of our outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling securityholder, in each case assuming exercise of the Warrants held by such selling securityholder on that date without regard to any limitations on exercise of such Warrants, assuming all of the Common Shares covered hereby are sold. Except as otherwise noted, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our Common Stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our Common Stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days. Under the terms of the RD Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants held by the selling securityholders, each selling securityholder may not exercise the RD Pre-funded Warrant or Warrant held by such selling securityholder to the extent such exercise would cause the selling securityholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance), as indicated in such selling securityholder’s warrant, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding, for purposes of such determination, Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the RD Pre-funded Warrants or Warrants held by the Investor, which have not been exercised. The number of Common Shares in the first and fourth columns and the percentage in the second and fifth columns reflect these limitations.

 

The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding shares of Common Stock to be beneficially owned after the offering pursuant to this prospectus assumes the exercise of the Warrants by the selling securityholders and sale of all Common Shares, including those issuable pursuant to the Warrants, being offered by the selling securityholders under this prospectus. Information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may have sold or transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their shares of Common Stock since the date on which the information in the table below is presented. Information about the selling securityholders may change over time. The percentage of shares owned after the offering is based on 5,998,773 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 4, 2023, which excludes (i) 537,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $38.36 per share; (ii) 1,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $229.50 per share; (iii) 280,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance upon settlement of restricted and deferred stock units; and (iv) up to 613,314 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the RD Pre-Funded Warrants, but assumes exercise of the Warrants by the selling securityholders and sale of all Common Shares, including those issuable pursuant to the Warrants.

(2)Assumes the exercise of the Warrants and sale of all Common Shares, including shares exercisable pursuant to the Warrants, available for sale under this prospectus and no further acquisitions of Common Stock by the selling securityholder. The ability to exercise the Warrants and RD Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, held by the Selling Securityholders is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation that, at the time of initial issuance of the Warrants and RD Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, was capped at 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) beneficial ownership of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (post-exercise). These beneficial ownership limitations may be adjusted up or down, subject to providing 61 days advance notice to the Company. Beneficial ownership as reflected in the selling securityholder table reflects the total number of Common Shares potentially issuable underlying the Warrants and RD Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, and does not give effect to these beneficial ownership limitations. Accordingly, actual beneficial ownership, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 thereunder may be lower than as reflected in the table.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering Common Shares, including shares of Common Stock and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to permit the resale of these Common Shares by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling securityholders of such shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

 

The selling securityholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling securityholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

 

●on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

●in the over-the-counter market;

 

●in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

●through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

●ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

●block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

●purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

●an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

●privately negotiated transactions;

 

●short sales;

 

●sales pursuant to Rule 144;

 

●broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

●a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

●any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the selling securityholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling securityholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

17

 

 

The selling securityholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling securityholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling securityholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling securityholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling securityholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling securityholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock , including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling securityholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling securityholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the provisions of the Private Agreements and Registered Direct Purchase Agreements, or the selling securityholders will be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

We, and our officers and directors participating in the offering pursuant to the Private Agreements, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 180 days after July 31, 2023, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly any shares of our Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock without the prior written consent of the lead institutional investors in the Registered Direct Offering.
