EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 20, 2021, we entered a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Recapitalization Share Exchange”), which was amended and restated on September 23, 2021, between us, Allarity Acquisition Subsidiary, our wholly owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”), and Allarity Therapeutics A/S, an Aktieselskab organized under the laws of Denmark. Our Form S-4 registration statement was effective on November 5, 2021; and the Recapitalization Share Exchange was approved by our shareholders at our Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 22, 2021. The Recapitalization Share Exchange has not yet been completed and is not expected to be completed until on or about December 20, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the Recapitalization Share Exchange, our Acquisition Sub will acquire substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Allarity Therapeutics A/S in exchange for shares of our common stock pursuant to a Form S-4 registration statement (SEC Reg. No. 333-258968) which was filed with SEC on August 20, 2021, and which became effective on November 5, 2021. Because we were formed as a “business combination related shell company” as defined in SEC Rule 405, and have not had any significant business activity other than activity related to the consummation of the Recapitalization Share Exchange, only the financial statements of our parent Allarity Therapeutics A/S are included in this Form 10-Q. Consequently, as of the date of this report, the financial statements and other financial information, as well as the description of our business reflect the financial statements and other financial information and business operations of our parent Allarity Therapeutics A/S.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this reportQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report” or “Report”) to the “Company,” “Allarity,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., Allarity Therapeutics A/S (as predecessor) and its respective consolidated subsidiaries. On June 28, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the shares of common stock of the Company and on March 24, 2023 we effected a 1-for-35 reverse stock split (collectively, the “Reverse Stock Splits”). All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this Quarterly Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the information in this Report does not reflect the consummation of the Recapitalization Share Exchange, which, as discussed above, is anticipated to occur subsequent to the period covered hereunder.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. We make such forward-looking statements pursuant toincludes “forward-looking statements” within the safe harbor provisionsmeaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and other federal securities laws.(the “Exchange Act”). All statements in this report other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,are forward-looking statements for purposes of these provisions, including any statements regarding our strategy, future preclinical studies and clinical trials, future financial position, projected costs, prospects,of the Company’s plans and objectives for future operations, the Company’s future financial or economic performance (including known or anticipated trends), and the assumptions underlying or related to the foregoing. Statements that include the use of management, are forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2023. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this report as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may impact such forward-looking statements include:
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, among other things, statements related to:
| ● | our estimates regarding expenses, capital requirements and need for additional financing. We have insufficient cash to continue our operations, and our continued operations are dependent on us raising capital and these conditions give rise to substantial doubt over our ability continue as a going concern; | |
| ● | the | |
| ● | our ability to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) continued listing standards. The listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq is contingent on our compliance with Nasdaq’s conditions for continued listing. We have a history of non-compliance and currently are not in compliance with the continued listing requirements. Pursuant to a Nasdaq letter dated July 14, 2023, the Company is subject to a panel monitor for a period of one year, which includes continued compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and other continued listing requirements. Failure to meet the stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 will result in immediate delisting, subject to the Company’s right to appeal. On October 27, 2023, we received notification from the | |
| ● | our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, disclosures and procedures. If we do not maintain effective internal controls, our ability to record, process and report financial information timely and accurately could be adversely affected and could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements, which could subject us to litigation or investigations, require management resources, increase our expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock; | |
| ● | the impact of adjustments to our outstanding warrants because of future dilutive financings resulting in the decrease of exercise price and increase the number of shares of issuable under outstanding warrants, adjustment and exercise of such warrants would result in the material dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and increase the number of shares of Common Stock in the public markets. The perception that such sales could occur could cause our stock price to fall; | |
| ● | our ability to cure the default under our license agreement with Novartis. We failed to make a milestone payment, and on April 4, 2023, we received notice from Novartis stating that Allarity Therapeutics Europe ApS was in breach of the license agreement and has 30 days from April 4, 2023, to cure. As a result of ongoing negotiations with Novartis to address our non-payment, we made payments to Novartis in the amount of $100,000 and $300,000 in April and August 2023, respectively. We intend to cure this breach upon and subject to availability of funds and/or continue working with Novartis on an alternate payment structure. However, no assurance can be given that Novartis will accept an alternative payment structure and if we fail to make the milestone payments, Novartis does not agree to an alternative payment structure or we are otherwise in breach of the license agreement, we may lose our right to use dovitinib, which will adversely affect our ability to conduct our clinical trials and to achieve our business objectives and adversely affect our financial results; |
ii
| ● |
| the initiation, cost, timing, progress and results of our current and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, as well as our research and development programs; |
| ● | our |

| ● | our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional funding; |
| ● | our ability to obtain regulatory approval of its current and future drug candidates; |

| ● | our | |
| ● | our ability to secure sufficient funding and alternative sources of funding to support when needed and on terms favorable to us to support our business objective, product development, other operations or commercialization efforts; | |
| ● | our ability to enroll patients in our clinical trials, or our clinical development activities; | |
| ● | our ability to retain key employees, consultants and advisors; | |

(c)(b) Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassificationsreclassification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Pursuant to the requirements of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date of these financial statements, and (1) is probable that the plan will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plan, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant condition or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financials are issued. Certain elements of the Company’s operating plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt are outside of the Company’s control and cannot be included in the management’s evaluation under the requirements of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC)ASC 205-40.
Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, clinical expenses, recruiting management and technical staff, and securing funding via collaborations. The Company has historically funded its operations with proceeds received from its collaboration arrangements, sale of equity capital and proceeds from sales of convertible notes.
The Company has incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $43.4$92.7 million as of September 30, 2021.2023. As of the dateSeptember 30, 2023, our cash of these financial statements our cash$1,399 is insufficient to fund our current operating plan and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. These conditions give rise to a substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt include additional funding through public equity, private equity, debt financing, collaboration partnerships, or other sources.
Considering the Company’s cash position as of November 14, 2023, the Company does not have sufficient funds for its current operations and planned capital expenditures. As discussed above the Company intends to seek capital through the sale of its securities or other sources. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in raising additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional working capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. The Company’s failure to raise capital or enter into other such arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition and its ability to develop its product candidates.
The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 3i, LP, a Delaware limited partnership that provides for a $20 million equity investment in the Company. Please refer to the subsequent event disclosures in note 18 for further information.
Although management continues to pursue its funding plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding to fund continuing operations on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Further, at the date of this filing the above noted 3i $20 million equity investment cannot be asserted as probable and is subject to close of the transaction. Accordingly, based upon cash on hand at the issuance date of these financial statements the Company does not have sufficient funds to finance its operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date and therefore has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(d)(c) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States generally accepted accounting principlesof America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The accompanying interim financial statements ascontain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheet, results of September 30, 2021operations and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and related interim information contained within the notes to the financial statements, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basisperiods presented. Except as the Company’s audited financial statements and includeotherwise disclosed, all such adjustments (includingconsist only of those of a normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2020, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Form S-4 for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on August 20, 2021 and as amended. Thenature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fullcurrent year ending December 31, 2023. The financial data presented herein do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year or any interim period.year.
(f)(d) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries:
| Name | Country of Incorporation | |
| Allarity Acquisition Subsidiary Inc. | United States | |
| Allarity Therapeutics Europe ApS (formerly Oncology Venture Product Development | Denmark | |
| Allarity Therapeutics Denmark ApS (formerly OV-SPV2 | Denmark | |
| MPI Inc.* | United States | |
| Oncology Venture US Inc.* | United States | |
* In the process of being dissolved because inactive.
All intercompany transactions and balances, including unrealized profits from intercompany sales, have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(e) Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any drug product candidate that it may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, dependence on key personnel and collaboration partners, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. Even if the Company’s research and development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(g)(a) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock, warrants, convertible loan,debt, convertible promissory note, and the accrual for research and development expenses, revenue recognition, fair values of acquired intangible assets and impairment review of those assets, the useful life of property, plant and equipment, share based compensation expense, provisions for contingencies and litigation, and income tax uncertainties and valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light ofconsidering reasonable changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
(h) Computation of Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net (loss) income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”)(b) Foreign currency and related guidance, which requires two calculations of net (loss) income attributable to the Company’s shareholders per share to be disclosed: basic and diluted. Basic loss per share is derived by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants, and convertible debt, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock unless such effect is anti-dilutive. In calculating the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders, the weighted average number of shares remained the same for both calculations due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation.currency translation
(i) Conversion of foreign currencies
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity’s operations are conducted. The Company and its subsidiaries operate mainly in Denmark and the United States. The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are their local currency.
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.SU.S. dollar. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Denmark subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are re-measuredremeasured into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net profit or loss for the respective periods.
Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currencytranslations are included in other comprehensive income (loss)loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred.
(c) Concentrations of credit risk and of significant suppliers
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash in financial institutions in amounts that could exceed government-insured limits. The Company does not believe it is subject to additional credit risks beyond those normally associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company has not experienced losses on its cash accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk regarding these deposits is not significant. The Company is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities in its programs. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers to supply its requirements for supplies and raw materials related to these programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in these manufacturing services or the availability of raw materials.
(j)(d) Cash
Cash consists primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents or restricted cash on September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
(e) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. An impairment loss would be recognized as a loss from operations when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group or the estimated return on investment are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flow or return on investment calculations.
(f) Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)loss
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)loss includes allnet loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity except(deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those resulting from investments by ownerswith shareholders. The Company records unrealized gains and distributionslosses related to owners, including accumulated foreign currency translation and changes in instrument specific credit risk.risk as components of other accumulated comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended September 30, 20212023 and 20202022, the Company recorded accumulated foreign currency translation losses of ($939)92) and gains of $1,130($643), respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 20212023, and 20202022, the Company recorded accumulated foreign currency translation losses of ($1,785)37) and gains of $1,212 and instrument specific credit risk losses of ($9) and gains of $61,271), respectively. These amounts have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).
(k)(g) Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential loss range is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidelines that address accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses costs as incurred in relation to such legal proceedings as general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(l) JOBS Act accounting election
The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies; however, the Company may adopt new or revised accounting standards early if the standard allows for early adoption.
(m)(h) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. All other ASUs not listed belowissued through the date of these financial statements were assessed and determined not to be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

(a) Amendments to Series A Preferred Stock
On November 22, 2022, the Company amended Section 12 of the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) to provide for voting rights. Subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on all matters presented to the stockholders for approval together with the shares of common stock, voting together as a single class, on an “as converted” basis using the “Conversion Price” (initially $9.906 per share before any adjustment) (rounded down to the nearest whole number and using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters), except as required by law (including without limitation, the DGCL) or as otherwise expressly provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The voting rights described above expired on February 28, 2023, and thereafter holders of preferred stock shall not have voting rights except as required by law.
On December 9, 2022, the Company and 3i entered into a letter agreement which provided that pursuant to Section 8(g) of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, the parties agreed that the Conversion Price was modified to mean the lower of: (i) the Closing Sale Price on the trading date immediately preceding the Conversion Date and (ii) the average Closing Sale Price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, for the Trading Days through and inclusive of January 19, 2023. Any conversion which occurs shall be voluntary at the election of the Holder, which shall evidence its election as to the Series A being converted in writing on a conversion notice setting forth the then Minimum Price. Management determined that the adjustment made to the Conversion Price is not a modification of the COD which allows for adjustments to the Conversion Price at any time by the Company and the other terms of the Certificate of Designations remained unchanged.
On January 23, 2023, we and 3i amended the letter agreement entered into on December 8, 2022, to provide that the modification of the term Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price (“Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price”) to mean the lower of: (i) the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Certificate of Designations”)) on the trading date immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations and (ii) the average Closing Sale Price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, for the Trading Days (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) will be in effect until terminated by us and 3i.

In addition, on April 21, 2023, the Amended COD was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. (See Note 17(c).)
On April 20, 2023, the Company also entered into a Cancellation of Debt Agreement as described in Note 7. Pursuant to such agreement, 1,550 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Shares”) beneficially owned by 3i were redeemed in full for a purchase price of $1,652, which redemption price was paid in cash from the portion of the proceeds from the April Offering. The Company also entered into the First Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement dated May 20, 2023 (the “RRA”), which became effective upon the April Offering Closing, to amend certain defined terms under the RRA to include the Exchange Shares, the New Warrant Shares and the Note Conversion Shares.
On April 21, 2023, in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Series A COD”) with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Amended and Restated Series A COD eliminates the Series A Preferred Stock redemption right and dividend (except for certain exceptions as specified therein), and provides for the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the price for a share of Common Stock sold in the scopeApril Offering, $30.00 per share, and based on a stated value of another Codification Topic. The framework applies regardless$1,080 per share.

The number of votes per each share of Series A Preferred Stock that may be voted by the Board shall be equal to the quotient of (x) the sum of (1) the original aggregated stated value immediately beforeof the Series A Preferred Stock when originally issued on December 20, 2021 (calculated based on the original stated value of $1,000 of the Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock) and after(2) $1,200,000, which represents the modification. The effect is recognizedpurchase price of the Series C Preferred Stock when originally issued; divided by (y) the conversion price of $30.00.

If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the Series A COD, as amended and restated and further amended, occur, or our failure to convert the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock when a conversion right is exercised, failure to issue our Common Stock when the Exchange Warrant is exercised, failure to declare and pay to any holder any dividend on any dividend date, then we may be required to pay a dividend on the stated value on the Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of 18% per annum, but paid quarterly in cash, had been paidso long as consideration. Additionally,the triggering event is continuing.

(d) Accounting
| i. | Series A Preferred Stock |
The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock under ASC 480-10 to determine whether it represents an obligation that would require the Company to classify the instrument as a liability and determined that the Series A Preferred Stock is not a liability pursuant to ASC 480-10. Management then evaluated the instrument pursuant to ASC 815 and determined that because the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be entitled to receive cash, the Series A Preferred stock should be recorded as mezzanine equity given the cash redemption right that is within the holder’s control.
Generally, preferred stock that are currently redeemable should be adjusted to their redemption amount at each balance sheet date. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value when redemption becomes probable to occur.
Through December 9, 2022, the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 was not met because a settlement contingency was not indexed to the Company’s stock. Therefore, the redemption feature (derivative liability) was bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Feature (the “Redemption Feature”) derivative is the difference between the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Redemption Feature and the Series A Preferred Stock without the Redemption Feature. The Series A Preferred Stock Redemption Feature has been valued with a Monte Carlo Simulation model, using the inputs as described in Note 9(b).
Subsequent to December 9, 2022, because of the agreed conversion price adjustment, although bifurcation of the conversion feature is still required, the value of the derivative has been determined to be immaterial since the conversion price will always be at market. Additionally, because the Series A redemption terms were amended to be entirely within the Company’s control, they have now been classified as permanent equity. Management has fair valued the Series A Preferred Stock prior to and after its modification and because the change in fair value was greater than 10%, has made with Lantern Pharmaa policy election to treat the amendment as an extinguishment. Accordingly, the difference in 2017. fair value has been recorded as a deemed dividend and reduction in additional paid in capital.
As of April 21, 2023, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the 4,239 Series A Preferred shares outstanding at $3,952 versus their carrying value of $624. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a deemed dividend of $3,328 as at April 21, 2023.
As of July 10, 2023, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the 6,047 Series A Preferred shares outstanding at $5,843 versus their carrying value of $5,637. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a deemed dividend of $206 as at July 10, 2023.
As of September 14, 2023, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the 1,417 Series A Preferred shares outstanding at $1,742 versus their carrying value of $1,369. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a deemed dividend of $373 as at September 14, 2023.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair values using the following inputs:
Series A Preferred September 14, | Series A Preferred July 10, | |||||||
| Number of shares valued | 1,417 | 6,047 | ||||||
| Stock Price | $ | 1.00 | $ | 3.40 | ||||
| Exercise price pre-modification | $ | 4.50 | $ | 8.00 | ||||
| Exercise price post-modification | $ | 1.00 | $ | 4.50 | ||||
| Risk fee rate | 5.37 | % | 5.28 | % | ||||
| Dividend | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
| Volatility | 119 | % | 140 | % | ||||
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair values using the following inputs:
| Original Series A Preferred Shares | Debt Settled for Series A Preferred Shares | Series C Preferred Shares Exchanged for Series A Preferred Shares | ||||||||||
| Number of shares valued | 4,239 | 5,577 | 486 | |||||||||

| Volatility | 156 | % | 156 | % | 156 | % | ||||||
| ii. | 3i Warrants |
The 3i Warrants were identified as a freestanding financial instrument and meet the criteria for derivative liability classification, initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized through earnings for as long as the contracts continue to be classified as a liability. The measurement of fair value is determined utilizing an appropriate valuation model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance and at each reporting period (i.e., share price, exercise price, term, volatility, risk-free rate and expected dividend rate).
(f) Series A Preferred Stock Conversions
| i. | Nine month period ended September 30, 2023 |
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, 3i exercised its option to convert 12,052 shares of Series A Preferred stock for 241,893 shares of common stock at the fair value of $3,899. From the proceeds of the July Offering, on July 10, 2023, the Company redeemed (i) 4,630 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by 3i, for $5,000, and (ii) the 3i June 2020 Lantern Pharma became publicly listed.Promissory Note (as defined below) for $351 in cash. As a result of the payment, the 3i June Promissory Note was paid in full on July 10, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 1,417 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
| ii. | Nine month period ended September 30, 2022 |
Between January 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022, a total of 4,574 Series A Preferred shares were converted into 1,592 shares of our common stock, thereby reducing outstanding Series A Preferred shares at September 30, 2021 the2022 to 15,226. The fair market value of the shares was $491. Accordingly, forderivative liability associated with the three monthsSeries A Preferred Stock converted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 20212022, as determined by Monte Carlo simulations, was $955.
Because the latest eight conversions in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, were completed at less than the agreed floor price, we recorded a floor price liability and recognized a corresponding reduction of additional paid in capital, as follows:
| i. | During the six months ended June 30, 2022, $1,511 (paid in cash prior to June 30, 2022); and | |

In no event will the Conversion Price be less than $0.0370 ($1.295 post reverse stock split) (the “Floor Price”).
In the event that the Conversion Price on a Conversion Date would have been less than the applicable Floor Price if not for the immediately preceding sentence, then on any such Conversion Date the Company will pay the Holder an amount in cash, to be delivered by wire transfer out of funds legally and immediately available therefor pursuant to wire instructions delivered to the Company by the Holder in writing, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the higher of (I) the highest price that the Common Stock trades at on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Conversion Date and (II) the applicable Conversion Price and (B) the difference obtained by subtracting (I) the number of shares of Common Stock delivered (or to be delivered) to the Holder on the applicable Share Delivery Date with respect to such conversion of Series C Preferred Stock from (II) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the applicable Conversion Amount that the Holder has elected to be the subject of the applicable conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, by (y) the applicable Conversion Price without giving effect to clause (x) of such definition. The Offering closed on February 28, 2023.
In connection with the Offering, concurrently with the SPA, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with 3i (the “RRA”) pursuant to which the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register for resale the shares of Common Stock that are issued upon the potential conversion of the Shares. Under the terms of the RRA, if the Company fails to file an Initial Registration Statement (as defined in the RRA) on or prior to its Filing Date (as defined in the RRA), or fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement beyond defined allowable grace periods set forth in the RRA, we will incur certain registration delay payments, in cash and as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of 3i’s subscription amount of the Shares pursuant to the SPA. In addition, if we fail to pay any partial liquidated damages in full within seven days after the date payment, we will have to pay interest at a rate of 18.0% per annum, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The Company has also agreed to pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of the RRA, except for any broker or similar commissions. In connection with the Offering, the Company and 3i entered into a limited waiver agreement (the “Waiver”) pursuant to which 3i confirmed that the sale and issuance of the Shares will not give rise to any, or trigger any, rights of termination, defaults, amendment, anti-dilution or similar adjustments, acceleration or cancellation under agreements with 3i.

Accordingly, the Company has recognized a finance loss on the Lanterndifference between (1) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred shares of $137$5,200, and (2) the carrying amount of the preferred shares (net of issuance costs), of $1,240 as a foreign exchangedeemed dividend of $3,959 that is deducted from additional paid in capital and subtracted from net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of loss per common share.

10. Stockholders’ Equity
(a) Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Reverse Stock Splits
On March 20, 2023, an amendment to Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to increase the number of authorized shares from 30,500,000 to 750,500,000, and to increase the number of shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) from 30,000,000 to 750,000,000 (the “Share Increase”) was approved by the stockholders of record entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 20, 2023 (the “2023 Special Meeting”). Upon receipt of the required stockholder approval, on March 20, 2023, Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), filed a Third Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) to effect the Share Increase. On March 23, 2023, the Company filed a Third Certificate of to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a 1-for-35 share consolidation of our common stock on March 24, 2023 (“March Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the March Reverse Stock Split. If, as a result of the March Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share, each fractional share was rounded up to the next whole number. The March Reverse Stock Split resulted in a reduction of our outstanding shares of common stock from 34,294,582 to 979,846.
As a result of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, the Company is authorized to issue 750,500,000 shares, consisting of (i) 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share.
On June 23, 2023, we held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for our stockholders of record of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, to, at the discretion of the board, effect a reverse stock split with respect to our issued and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio between 1-for-15 and 1-for-50 (the “June Reverse Stock Split Proposal”). Upon stockholder approval, the Board of Directors determined a ratio of 1-for-40 for the reverse stock split (the “June Reverse Stock Split”). On June 28, 2023, the Company filed a Fourth Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the June Reverse Stock Split on June 28 2023 (the “June Share Consolidation”). No fractional shares were issued in connection with the June Share Consolidation. If, as a result of the June Share Consolidation, a stockholder would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share, each fractional share was rounded up to the next whole number. The fairJune Share Consolidation resulted in a reduction of our outstanding shares of Common Stock from 20,142,633 to approximately 503,566. The par value of our authorized stock remained unchanged at $0.0001.
As of the date of these financial statements all references to our common stock have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect both the March Share Consolidation and the June Share Consolidation (the “Share Consolidations”), unless otherwise noted.
(b) Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock
Upon conclusion of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on February 3, 2023, all the 190,786 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding were automatically redeemed, with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock only having a right to receive the purchase price for the redemption, which was $0.01 per share of Series B Preferred Stock.
(c) Series C Preferred Stock
On February 24, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C COD”) with the Delaware Secretary of State designating 50,000 shares of its authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock with a stated value of $27.00 per share. On February 28, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Series C COD (the “COD Amendment”) to clarify the terms of conversion price and floor price based on definitions provided in the Series C COD (the COD Amendment, together with the Series C COD, the “COD”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has 620 votes and is subject to certain redemption rights and voting limitations. See Note 17(c).
Pursuant to the terms of a Modification and Exchange Agreement dated April 20, 2023, by and between 3i and the Company, effective April 21, 2023, 3i exchanged 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”) beneficially owned by 3i for 5,577 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(d) Common Share, Pre-Funded Warrant and Common Share Purchase Warrant issuances
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company:
i. issued 357,223 shares of our Common Stock pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,087,222 shares of common stock (the “July Pre-Funded Warrants”), and common warrants to purchase up to 2,444,445 shares of Common Stock (the “2023 July Common Warrants”) at an effective combined purchase price of $4.50 per share and related common stock purchase warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $920 (“July Offering”). The securities in the July Offering were registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-272469). The purchase price of each July Pre-Funded Warrant and 2023 July Common Warrant was equal to $4.50 less the $0.001 per share exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. Such securities were sold pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the purchaser signatory thereto or pursuant to the prospectus which was part of an effective registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC. As of September 30, 2023, all July Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised prior in exchange for 2,087,222 common shares.
ii. entered into an Inducement Letter dated September 14, 2023 (the “Inducement Letter”) with each of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. (“September Investors”) who were the holders of existing common stock purchase warrants issued (i) in the April Offering (the “April Warrants”) and (ii) in the July Offering (the “July Warrants” and together with the April Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”). Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the September Investors agreed to exercise for cash their respective Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,438,889 shares of the Company’s derivativeCommon Stock (the “Existing Warrant Shares”), at a reduced exercise price of $1.00 per share, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue a new unregistered common stock purchase warrant liabilities were estimatedto purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of Existing Warrant Shares issued, or the Inducement Warrants, pursuant to each Existing Warrant exercise (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”), exercisable for 5 years and six months from the issue date, at an exercise price of $1.00, subject to adjustment. Upon execution of the Inducement Letter by each of the September Investors the Company issued the Inducement Warrants to the September Investors pursuant to a private placement (the “September Private Placement”). As of September 30, 2023, we have received approximately $1.87 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $156 thousand in exchange for the exercise of 1,237,578 Existing Warrant Shares; and we have recorded an obligation to issue 639,000 Existing Warrant Shares.
(e) April 2023, July 2023 and September 2023 Common Warrants
Subject to certain ownership limitations, the April 2023 Common Warrants are exercisable immediately from the date of issuance. The April 2023 Common Warrants have an exercise price of $34.00 per share and expire on the 5 year anniversary of the date of issuance, April 21, 2023, unless otherwise agreed upon by us and holder of the warrant. The exercise price of the April 2023 Common Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s Common Stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the April 2023 Common Warrants, each of the holders of the April 2023 Common Warrants will have the right to exercise its April 2023 Common Warrant and receive the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such fundamental transaction if such holder had been, immediately prior to such fundamental transaction, the holder of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its April 2023 Common Warrant. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental transaction within the Company’s control, as described in the April 2023 Common Warrants, each holder of the April 2023 Common Warrants will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the unexercised portion of its April 2023 Common Warrant at its fair value using a variant of the Black Scholes option pricing formula. In the event of a fundamental transaction that is not within the Company’s control, each holder of the April 2023 Common Warrants will have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the unexercised portion of its April 2023 Common Warrant for the same consideration paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in the fundamental transaction at the unexercised April 2023 Common Warrant’s fair value using a variant of the Black Scholes option pricing formula.
Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with certain investors in the April Offering, we agreed that for a period of 90 days from the close of the April Offering, that we would not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock or file a registration statement with the SEC to register our securities, subject to certain exceptions. The investors to the securities purchase agreement in the April Offering, excluding 3i, have agreed to waive that provision and permit the July offering of our Common Stock, pre-funded warrants and common warrants (“Offering Waiver”) in exchange for (i) the repricing of the exercise price of the April 2023 Common Warrant to the exercise price of the common warrant offered in the July Offering if the exercise price of the common warrant is lower than the then-current April 2023 Common Warrant exercise price; and (ii) extending the termination date of the April 2023 Common Warrant to the date of termination of the common warrants offered in the July Offering As a result of the July Offering, investors to the securities purchase agreement in the April Offering, excluding 3i, had the exercise price of their April 2023 Common Warrant reduced to $4.50 per share and the exercise period extended to on or around July 10, 2028. 3i and the Company entered into a separate limited waiver and amendment agreement, as discussed above. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value the April Common Warrants as of July 10, 2023, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and based onrecorded the following assumptions:incremental value of $202 as a fair value modification cost in other income (expenses).

The Company measured its derivative warrant liabilities on a recurring basis using level 3 inputs (see Note 17).
Management considered the September, July and April Common Warrants, which do not represent outstanding shares, and determined that they contain certain contingent redemption features, outside of the Company’s control and at the election of the Holder, which may require the Company to repurchase the July and April Common Warrants or Warrant Shares in exchange for cash (i.e., puttable) in an amount as defined in the Warrant Agreements. The Company concluded that the September, July and April Common Warrants represent liabilities under ASC 480. Accordingly, the September, July and April Common Warrants have been recorded at their fair value of $4,189, $6,824, and $4,148 respectively using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and as a reduction of additional paid in capital. Additionally, the total July financing cost of $902 has been proportionately allocated to financing costs in and additional paid in capital in the amounts of the amount of $571 and $349 respectively; and the total April financing cost of $679 has been proportionately allocated to the finance expense and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $376 and $303 respectively. The September financing cost of $156 has been allocated to a finance expense in general and administration costs.
On September 14, 2023, the exercise prices of the July and April Common Warrants were reduced to $1.00 per share and the exercise period extended to on or about September 14, 2028. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value the July and April Common Warrants as of September 14, 2023, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded the incremental value of $389 as a fair value modification cost in other income (expenses).
As of September 30, 2023, we used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to fair value the outstanding September, July, and April Common share purchase warrants of 4,877,778, 2,012,534 and 83,333 respectively at $3,044, $843 and $51 respectively.

The Company is domiciled in the United States of America and its operations are in Denmark and operates as one operating segment. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as the chief operating decision-maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of our Company on a total Company basis. Managing and allocating resources on a total company basis enables our CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, therapeutic areas and research and development projects that are in line with our long-term company-wide strategic goals. Consistent with this decision-making process, our CEO uses consolidated, single-segment financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources, and setting incentive targets. The Company has neither revenues from external customers outside Denmark, nor non-currentlong-term assets in other geographical areas other than Denmark.
13. Loss per share of common stock
Basic loss per share is derived by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock unless such effect is anti-dilutive. In calculating the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders, the weighted average number of shares remained the same for both calculations because when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding, as determined by the latest applicable conversion price, that have been excluded from diluted loss per share due to being anti-dilutive include the following:
| Three- and Nine-month period ended September 30, | ||||||||

| Series A Preferred Stock | 1,530,360 | 9,276,923 | ||||||
| 17,957,073 | 11,309,388 | |||||||
15. Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic net income loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus potential shares (deriving from warrants and convertible notes) considered outstanding during the period, in accordance with ASC 260-10 as determined under the treasury stock method.14.

In the three month period ended September 30, 2021 the Company’s diluted weighted shares outstanding includes outstanding warrants however the basic and diluted income per share amounts were the same. In the three month period ended September 30, 2020 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s unvested restricted shares and restricted share units have been excluded from the computation of basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders.
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share attributable to common shareholders. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the date the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement.

Additional payments of $900 have been made between December 27, 2022, and the date of this report. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance is $3,600.
Under Clause 7.2 of the Original Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Novartis a milestone payment in one lump sum (“Third Milestone Payment”) upon submission of the first NDA with the FDA for a Licensed Product in the United States (the “Third Milestone”). The Second Amendment restructured the terms of the Third Milestone Payment to an installment plan (with the final installment due in 2023), allowing the Company more time to make the Third Milestone Payment.
In addition, the Second Amendment amended (1) Clause 1.1 of the Agreement to include the definitions of Financing Transaction, Phase 1 Clinical Trial and Phase 1b/2 Clinical Trial, (2) Clause 2.1 of the Agreement to clarify that the Company would not be permitted to sublicense any rights granted to the Company prior to completion of a Phase II Clinical Trial without the prior written consent of Novartis, and (3) Clause 7.3 to provide for the acceleration of certain milestone payments in the event the Company enters into a Financing Transaction (as defined in the Second Amendment). If all milestones under the Second Amendment are achieved, the Company may be obligated to pay Novartis up to a maximum of $26,500.
(b) Notice of Breach From Novartis Pharma AG
Pursuant to the agreement with Novartis, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Allarity Europe, we have the exclusive global right to use dovitinib for the treatment of cancers.

We did not make that milestone payment, and on April 4, 2023, Novartis sent a notice of breach under the license agreement to Allarity Europe stating that it has 30 days from April 4, 2023, to cure. We are in default under our license agreement with Novartis. We are currently in discussions with Novartis to restructure the payment terms of the Novartis license agreement. We made payments to Novartis in the amount of $100 and $300 in April and August 2023, respectively.

(g) SEC Request
In January 2023, we received a request to produce documents from the SEC that stated that the staff of the SEC is conducting an investigation known as “In the Matter of Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.” to determine if violations of the federal securities laws have occurred. The documents requested appear to focus on submissions, communications, and meetings with the FDA regarding our NDA for StenoparibDovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP. The SEC letter also stated that investigation is a fact-finding inquiry and does not mean that that the SEC has concluded that we or anyone else has violated the laws. As a result of the disclosure of the SEC request, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) staff has also requested us to provide them with the information requested by the SEC in which we are complying.
(h) Nasdaq Notifications and Appeal Hearing
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 14, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications on October 12, 2022 notifying us that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “June Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) for The Nasdaq Global Market, which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $10.0 million. As reported on the June Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2022, was approximately $8.0 million. Pursuant to the letter, we were required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) by November 26, 2022. After discussions with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff, on December 12, 2022, we filed a plan to regain and demonstrate long-term Nasdaq Listing Qualifications compliance including seeking to phase-down to The Nasdaq Capital Market. On December 21, 2022, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that they have granted the Company’s request for an extension until April 10, 2023, to comply with this requirement.
On April 11, 2023, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that it determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transactions and was unable to file a Form 8-K by the April 10, 2023, deadline evidencing compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). As a result, the Company’s securities were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market unless the Company appealed the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff’s decision. The Company filed a notice of appeal and on May 18, 2023, the Company presented its appeal before the Nasdaq hearings panel.
Subsequent to the May 18, 2023 hearing, on May 23, 2023, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that stated because we did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) regarding a bid price of $1.00 by May 22, 2023, this non-compliance would be considered by the Nasdaq hearings panel as to whether our Common Stock should be delisted on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. We had until May 30, 2023, to present our view to the Nasdaq hearings panel and we provided additional information to the Nasdaq hearings panel by such date.
During
On June 6, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq hearings panel that granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC until July 1, 2023 and the Company’s transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following conditions: (1) on or before July 1, 2023, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1) dealing with primary equity securities listed on the Global Market, and on or before July 1, 2023, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) dealing with a minimum bid of $1.00 per share.
On June 14, 2023, we received a clarification letter from Nasdaq granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the following: (1) on or before July 10, 2023, the Company would need to demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2); and (2) on or before July 14, 2023, the Company would need to demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b). As further discussed below, on June 28, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications that because we transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market, we regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) because our Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) has been $1,000 or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days.
On July 14, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price and equity concerns, as required by the Nasdaq hearings panel decision dated June 6, 2023, as amended. Under the July 14, 2023, letter, the Company is subject to a panel monitor for a period ended September 30, 2021,of one year from the termsJuly 14, 2023, letter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B).
On August 3, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that based on the information regarding the appointment of Mr. Joseph Vazzano, Dr. Laura Benjamin, and Mr. Robert Oliver to the Company’s Board of Directors and the appointment of Mr. Vazzano and Mr. Oliver to the audit committee, Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with the independent director and audit committee requirements for continued listing set forth in Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2), respectively, and that the matter was now closed.
On October 27, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that it has determined that the bid price of our agreementCommon Stock has closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, does not comply with EisaiListing Rule 5550(a)(2). Further, Nasdaq also noted that we effected an 1:35 reverse stock split on March 24, 2023, and an 1:40 reverse stock split on June 28, 2023. Because we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we will not be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv).
In that regard, unless we requested an appeal of such determination, trading of our Common Stock would have been revisedsuspended at the opening of business on November 7, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the SEC which would have removed our Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. We requested an appear for such determination and have received a hearing date of February 1, 2024.
(i) Shareholder Letter
On May 31, 2023, we received a letter from an attorney purportedly representing a shareholder of the Company questioning certain information contained in our preliminary proxy statement for our Special Meeting and questioning our ability under Delaware law to amend the Original Series A COD to provide Eisaifor voting rights to the rightholders thereof without seeking approval from the holders of our Common Stock. We have clarified any perceived inconsistent statements regarding voting procedures for the matters to terminatebe voted upon at the agreement ifSpecial Meeting in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC, and believe that, contractually, we do not complete a Phase 2 clinical trial before December 31, 2022, unless we electare authorized to pay a very low seven digit extension payment.provide for voting rights to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock without seeking approval by the holders of our Common Stock.
18.17. Subsequent Events
For its interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 20212023, and for the ninethree months then ended, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date on which those financial statements were issued.
(a) Plan of Reorganization and US Nasdaq Listing
On April 6, 2021, In November 2023, the Company incorporated Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Allarity Delaware”) as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for the sole purpose of entering into a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement with Allarity Delaware in order to reorganize the Company as a holding company listed on the US Nasdaq Stock Market and complete a 50 to 1 share reverse split, resulting in an immediate decrease in the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share. The reorganization is a common control transaction and there will be no change in control over the assets of the ultimate parent. Consequently, Allarity Delaware will record all assets and liabilities acquired from Allarity Therapeutics A/S at historical cost. The recapitalization share exchange is conditioned upon the approval of the Company’s shareholders and an effective registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form S-4 registration statement was effective on November 5, 2021; and the recapitalization was approved by our shareholders at our Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 22, 2021.
As of the date of these financial statements, the Company anticipates that approximately 8,075,824issued 373,000 shares of Delaware common stock, will be issued in the recapitalization share exchangethereby reducing our obligation to the Company’s shareholders.
(b) PIPE Investment
On May 20, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with 3i, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership (the “Investor”) whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell the Investor 20,000 shares of Allarity Delaware Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) for an additional $20 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment is conditioned upon, and will occur simultaneously with, the consummation of the Recapitalization Share Exchange and the approval of Allarity Delaware’s application to list its common stock on the US Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Preferred Stock may convert over time into at approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares however, conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants; is limited to 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.
As of the date of these financial statements the Company expects the conversion price of the Preferred Stock to be $9.91 per share. However, if the volume weighted average price for Allarity Delaware common stock on the US Nasdaq Stock Market falls below the fixed conversion price for the preferred stock, then the preferred stock would be entitled to convert at an alternate conversion price between 80% to 90% of the volume weighted average price at the time of conversion with a similar adjustment for the exercise price for the warrants.
Lastly, in the event that the average daily US dollar volume of share of Allarity Delaware common stock traded on the US Nasdaq Stock Market falls below $2.5 million, then holders of the convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a one-time special dividend of 8% of the stated value of the preferred stock ($1.6 million) payable in shares of common stock upon conversionexercise of the convertible preferred stock. The Company is in the process of assessing the accounting treatment of the special dividend.certain common stock warrants to 266,000 (see Note 10(e)). Except as discussed above there were no subsequent events requiring disclosure.

The Company’s three lead drug candidates are: the tyrosinepan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)(pan-TKI) dovitinib, the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor stenoparib, and the microtubule inhibitor agent IXEMPRA.
Recent Developments
Subsequent to our quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, we entered into a series of transactions, certain events occurred and we received notifications discussed below.

The purchase price of each July Pre-Funded Warrant and 2023 July Common Warrant was equal to $4.50 less the $0.001 per share exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. Such securities were sold pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with the purchaser signatory thereto or pursuant to the prospectus which was part of an effective registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC. The July Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately in the July Offering. Each July Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement entered into with certain investors in the July Offering, we agreed that for a period of 90 days from the close of the July Offering, we would not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock or file a registration statement with the SEC to register our securities, subject to certain exceptions.

Warrant Exercise and Inducement Letter
In September 2023, we entered into the Inducement Letter dated September 14, 2023 (the “Inducement Letter”) with each of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd.

Upon execution of the Inducement Letter by each of the September Investors Company issued the Inducement Warrants to the September Investors pursuant to a private placement (the “September Private Placement”). As of November 13, 2023, the Company received an aggregate of $1,876,578 from the exercise of certain Existing Warrants by the September Investors, which includes the pre-payment of $266,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of 266,000 Existing Warrants.
We also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if we are not then Form S-3 eligible) providing for the resale of the Inducement Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Inducement Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”), on or before October 15, 2023, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days following the date of the issuance of the Inducement Warrants and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the Inducement Warrants owns any Inducement Warrants or Inducement Warrant Shares.

In either event, or both events, we will be required to pay the September Investors an amount in cash equal to 1.5% of the aggregate exercise price of the Inducement Warrants held by the Holder on the day of a Public Information Failure and/or Stockholder Approval Failure and on every 30th day (prorated for periods totaling less than 30 days) thereafter until the Public Information Failure and Stockholder Approval Failure are cured.
In addition, to comply with certain Nasdaq listing maintenance requirements, the Company also agreed to amend all Existing Warrants such that the exercise price of such warrants is equal to $1.00 regardless of whether the holder thereof signed the Inducement Letter or exercised the Existing Warrants pursuant to the Inducement Letter. As a result, all of the exercise price of the outstanding July Warrants and April Warrants were reduced to $1.00.
Transactions with 3i, LP
On May 20, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and related agreements with 3i, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, or 3i, LP, pursuant to which 3i, LP purchased 20,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase up to 1,443 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $13,868 (the “PIPE Warrant”) per share for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million. Simultaneously with the execution of the SPA, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with 3i, LP wherein we agreed to register a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that could be issued upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the PIPE Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”), which was subsequently amended to include an agreement by the Company to register up 125% of the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Concurrent with the closing of the Recapitalization Share Exchange, on December 21, 2021, we closed on the transactions contemplated by the SPA and issued 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the PIPE Warrant.
On April 19, 2023, 3i, LP, the sole former holder of our Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and outstanding secured promissory notes, and sole holder of our Series A Preferred Stock, provided the Company with a loan for $350,000, evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note dated April 19, 2023 (the “April Note”), which required a mandatory conversion of the principal into 486 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Note Conversion Shares”) subject to and upon the closing of the public offering of our securities in April 2023 (the “April Offering”). Upon such closing, the Note Conversion Shares were issued to 3i, LP and the April Note was cancelled.
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a certain Modification and Exchange Agreement, as amended on May 26, 2023 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with 3i, LP pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, (i) amend and restate the Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock then in effect (“Series A COD”), which among other things, eliminates the Series A Preferred Stock redemption right and dividend (except for certain exceptions as specified in the Series A COD), and provides for the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion price of $30.00 which is equal to the price for a share of Common Stock sold in the April Offering, (ii) exchange 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”) beneficially owned by 3i, LP for 5,577 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Shares”), (iii) exchange the PIPE Warrant held by 3i, LP for a new warrant which originally reflected an exercise price of $30.00 and a right to acquire 315,085 shares of Common Stock, and was further adjusted in connection with the July Offering (as defined below) to reflect an exercise price of $4.50 and a right to acquire 2,100,565 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments (the “Exchange Warrant”). On April 21, 2023, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement occurred and the contemplated Exchange Warrant and the Exchange Shares were issued to 3i, LP, and the PIPE Warrant and the Series C Shares were cancelled. Under the Exchange Agreement, we agreed that so long as any holder of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owns any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock, issue any Series A Preferred Stock. The Company agreed that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries would issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” except for the April Offering (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement (whether occurring during certain restricted period or at any time thereafter). On October 13, 2023, 3i, LP granted a waiver to permit a proposed offering.
In addition, the Company entered into a Cancellation of Debt Agreement dated April 20, 2023 (the “Cancellation of Debt Agreement”), which became effective as of April 21, 2023. Upon the closing of the April Offering, pursuant to the terms of the Cancellation of Debt Agreement, all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness under the following four secured promissory notes issued pursuant to Secured Note Purchase Agreement dated November 22, 2022 between the Company and 3i, LP (collectively the “3i Promissory Notes”) were paid in full: the first note was for an aggregate principal amount of $350,000 (which purchase price was paid in form of cash and was received in November 2022); the second note was for the principal amount of $1,666,640 and which represents the payment of $1,666,640 due to 3i, LP in Alternative Conversion Floor Amounts, as defined in the Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in December 2021 (the “Original Series A COD”), that began to accrue on July 14, 2022; the third note was for an aggregate principal amount of $650,000 which purchase price was paid in cash on December 30, 2022; and the fourth note was for the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 (which purchase price was paid in cash on April 11, 2023) and the Alternative Conversion Amount (as defined in the Cancellation of Debt Agreement ) due by the Company to 3i, LP. Accordingly, any and all obligations in connection therewith were extinguished without any additional further action on the part of 3i, LP upon payment of $3,347,583 in cash from a portion of the proceeds from the April Offering. In addition, pursuant to such agreement, 1,550 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Shares”) beneficially owned by 3i, LP were redeemed in full for a purchase price of $1,652,416, which redemption price was paid in cash from the portion of the proceeds from the closing of the April Offering.
The Company also entered into a first amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, which became effective upon the closing of the April Offering to amend certain defined terms under the RRA to include the Exchange Shares, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Exchange Warrants (the “Exchange Warrant Shares”) and the Note Conversion Shares (the “Amended RRA”).
On June 6, 2023, 3i, LP and the Company entered into a separate limited waiver and amendment agreement whereby 3i, LP (“3i Waiver Agreement”) agreed to waive certain rights granted under a Series A Preferred Stock securities purchase agreement dated December 20, 2021, the Exchange Agreement and the securities purchase agreement related to the April Offering in exchange for (i) amending the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock to equal the public offering price of the shares of Common Stock in the July Offering if the public offering price of the shares of Common Stock in the July Offering is lower than the then-current conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) participating in the July Offering, at its option, under the same terms and conditions as other investors, of which proceeds from 3i, LP’s participation were agreed to be used to redeem a portion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock 3i, LP received from the Exchange Agreement; and (iii) (1) the repricing of the exercise price of the April 2023 Common Warrants to the exercise price of the common warrant offered in the July Offering if the exercise price of the common warrant is lower than the then-current exercise price of the April 2023 Common Warrants; and (2) extending the termination date of the April 2023 Common Warrants to the date of termination of the common warrants offered in the July Offering. As a result of the 3i Waiver Agreement, upon the consummation of the July Offering, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was reduced to $4.50 and the exercise price of 3i, LP’s April 2023 Common Warrant was reduced to $4.50 per share and the exercise period extended to July 10, 2028.
On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Secured Note Purchase Agreement with 3i (the “June 2023 Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, on June 30, 2023, 3i LP purchased a secured promissory note for a principal amount of $350,000 (the “3i June Promissory Note”). Such note matures on July 31, 2023, and carries an interest rate of 5% per annum, and is secured by all of the Company’s assets pursuant to that certain security agreement dated June 29, 2023 (the “Security Agreement”). Under the 3i June Promissory Note, the outstanding obligations thereunder, including accrued interest, will be paid in full from the gross proceeds of our next financing (the “Next Financing”); provided, however, that if the gross proceeds from the Next Financing are insufficient to settle the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the 3i June Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, in full, then the Company will instead be obligated to convert all of the unpaid principal balance of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon, into 486 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Repayment Shares”). In connection with the Repayment Shares, the June 2023 Purchase Agreement provides that if the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock of the trading day immediately prior to the execution of the June 2023 Purchase Agreement (the “Current Closing Price”) is lower than the initial conversion price of $30.00 as set forth in the Series A COD, then the conversion price of Series A Preferred Stock will be reduced to the Current Closing Price, pursuant to the voluntary adjustment provision of Section 8 of the Series A COD (“Downward Adjustment to Conversion Price”) and the Company agreed to file a second certificate of amendment to the Series A COD with the Delaware Secretary of State to amend the Series A COD to reflect the Downward Adjustment to Conversion Price (“Second Certificate of Amendment”). Based on the closing price of the shares of Common Stock on June 28, 2023, the Downward Adjustment to Conversion Price is equal to $8.00 per share. As contemplated by the June 2023 Purchase Agreement, the Company filed the Second Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 30, 2023. From the proceeds of the July Offering, on July 10, 2023, the Company redeemed the 3i June Promissory Note for $350,886 in cash. As a result of the payment, the 3i June Promissory Note was paid in full on July 10, 2023.
From the proceeds of the July Offering, on July 10, 2023, the Company redeemed (i) 4,630 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by 3i, LP, for $5,000,400 in cash, and (ii) the 3i June Promissory Note (as defined above) for $350,886 in cash.
In connection with the Inducement Letter and the transactions contemplated therein, the Company and 3i, LP entered into a limited waiver agreement (the “Waiver”) pursuant to which 3i, LP agreed to allow the filing of the Resale Registration Statement not otherwise permitted under certain agreements with 3i, LP. In consideration of entering in the Waiver, the Company agreed to amend the “Conversion Price” of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to equal $1.00 as soon as practicable. On September 22, 2023, the Company filed the Fourth Certificate of Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Fourth Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reflect the new conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock of $1.00. In addition, as a result of the Inducement Warrants, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Warrant, in September 2023 the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price of the Exchange Warrant was adjusted to 9,452,667 shares of Common Stock and $1.00 per share, respectively.
Nasdaq Notifications
On July 14, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price and equity concerns, as required by the Nasdaq hearings panel decision dated June 6, 2023, as amended. Under the July 14, 2023, letter, the Company will be subject to a panel monitor for a period of one year from the July 14, 2023, letter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B).
On October 27, 2023, the Company received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that it determined that the bid price of our Common Stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, it did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Further, the staff also noted that we effected a 1:35 reverse stock split on March 24, 2023, and a 1:40 reverse stock split on June 28, 2023. Because we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we will not be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Rule pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). In that regard, unless the Company requested an appeal from such determination, trading of the Company’s Common Stock would have been suspended at the opening of business on November 7, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would have removed the Company’s Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company requested an appeal for such determination and was given a hearing date of February 1, 2024. During the appeal period, the Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for any drug product candidate that it may identify and develop, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of its product candidates, dependence on key personnel and collaboration partners, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, development by competitors of technological innovations, and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval prior to commercialization. Even if the Company’s research and development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.

Impacts of COVID-19 on our Business — Update
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. COVID-19 has had a modest impact on our operations as it caused some unexpected delays in our clinical program activities as clinical trials were delayed. Management is unable to estimate the future financial effects, if any, to our business as a result of COVID-19 because of the high level of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes of this disease.
We are continuing to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business and are taking proactive measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, as well as to maintain business continuity. Based on guidance issued by federal, state and local authorities, we transitioned to a remote work model for our employees, effective March 16, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 restrictions due to COVID-19 have lifted significantly and as a result, our Danish employees have returned to work. Our North American employees are continuing to work remotely. We will continue to closely monitor and seek to comply with guidance from governmental authorities and adjust our activities as appropriate.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical trial, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could harm our operations, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
Financial Operations Overview
Since our inception in September of 2004, we have focused substantially all of our resources on conducting research and development activities, including drug discovery and preclinical studies, establishing, and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, the manufacturing of clinical and research material, hiring personnel, raising capital and providing general and administrative support for these operations. In recent years, we have recorded very limited revenue from collaboration activities, or any other sources. We have funded our operations to date primarily from convertible notes and the issuance and sale of our ordinary shares.
We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception. Our net losses were $6$10.2 million and $3.9$13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212023 and 2020,2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2021,2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $43.4$92.7 million and cash of $1,399 million. Substantially all of our net losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses over at least the next several years. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:
| ● | advance drug candidates through clinical trials; | |
| ● | pursue regulatory approval of drug candidates; |
| ● | operate as a public company; | |
| ● | continue our preclinical programs and clinical development efforts; | |
| ● | continue research activities for the discovery of new drug candidates; and | |
| ● | manufacture supplies for our preclinical studies and clinical trials. |
Components of Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include:
| ● | expenses incurred under agreements with third-party contract organizations, and consultants; | |
| ● | costs related to production of drug substance, including fees paid to contract manufacturers; | |
| ● | laboratory and vendor expenses related to the execution of preclinical trials; and | |
| ● | employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. |
We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks and estimates of services performed using information and data provided to us by our vendors and third-party service providers. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in future periods for use in research and development activities are deferred and accounted for as prepaid expenses. The prepayments are then expensed as the related goods are delivered and as services are performed.
To date, the majoritymost of these expenses have been incurred to advance our lead drug candidates, dovitinib, stenoparib, and IXEMPRA®.
We expect our research and development expenses to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development activities related to developing our drug candidates, as our drug candidates advance into later stages of development, and as we begincontinue to conduct clinical trials. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming, and the successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our drug candidates.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and professional services expenses, including legal, human resources, audit, and accounting services. Personnel-related costs consist of salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation. Facilities costs consist of rent and maintenance of facilities. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future due to anticipated increases in headcount to advance our drug candidates and as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq Stock Market, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations
Since our inception through September 30, 2021,2023, our operations have been financed primarily by the sale of convertible promissory notes and the sale and issuance of our ordinary shares.securities. As of September 30, 2021,2023, we had $5.6 million$1,399 in cash, and investments, and an accumulated deficit of $43.4$92.7 million.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we received $1 million in proceeds from the sale We had a working capital deficit of intangible assets, $14.87 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of shares, and $1.2 million in proceeds from convertible debt. We also received a bridge loan of $2.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and repaid $2.9 million in June 2021.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $1 million in net proceeds from the sale and issuance of convertible notes. We also received $2.9 million in proceeds from share issuance.$11.4 million.
Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development as well as regulatory expenses related to our leadtherapeutic drug candidate, dovitinib, and clinical programs for stenoparib and IXEMPRA®, and to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenses. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.
As of November 23, 2021,September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash deposits of $3.5 million$1,399 were determined to be insufficient to fund its current operating plan and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.month. We estimatebelieve that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of November 14, 2023, and our anticipated expenditures and commitments for the next twelve months, will not enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the twelve months from the date of this filing, our cash reserves are sufficient for approximately 4 months.Report. These conditions give rise to a substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt include additional funding through public equity, private equity, debt financing, collaboration partnerships, or other sources. ThereWe currently plan on completing an additional public offering in the near future, however there are no assurances however, that the Company will be successful in raising additional working capital, or if it is able to raise additional working capital, it may be unable to do so on commercially favorable terms. The Company’s failure to raise capital or enter into other such arrangements if and when needed would have a negative impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition and its ability to developcontinue its product candidates.
The Company has also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 3i, LP, a Delaware limited partnership that provides for a $20 million equity investment in the Company. Please refer to the subsequent event disclosures in note 18 for further information.plan of operations.
We expect to incur substantial expenses in the foreseeable future for the development and potential commercialization of our drug candidates and ongoing internal research and development programs. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing, or aggregate amount of costs for our development, potential commercialization, and internal research and development programs. However, in order to complete our current and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, and to complete the process of obtaining regulatory approval for our drug candidates, as well as to build the sales, marketing, and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our drug candidates, if approved, we may require substantial additional funding in the future.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| (In thousands) | Nine months ended September 30, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Net Cash used in operating activities | $ | (9,741 | ) | $ | (4,812 | ) | ||

| Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 5,640 | $ | (1,479 | ) | |||
Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities of $9.7 million was attributable to a net loss of $6 million, $475 thousand of deferred income taxes and $2.1 million in net non-cash charges. This was offset by a $1.15 million net change in net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges consisted of stock-based compensation of $1.2 million, non-cash interest of $391 thousand, fair value adjustment to convertible debt of $298 thousand, loss on investment of $317 thousand, depreciation and amortization of $90 thousand, non-cash lease expense of $87 thousand and loss on foreign currency of $29 thousand, offset by a $4.5 million fair value adjustment to derivative liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.15 million was primarily due to a $1.38 million decrease in accounts payable, a $1.1 million increase in accrued liabilities, an increase in income taxes receivable of $589 thousand, a decrease in operating lease liability of $243 thousand, an increase in other current assets of $97 thousand, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $49 thousand.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities of $4.8 million was attributable to a net loss of $3.9 million, $948 thousand of deferred income taxes and $328 thousand in net non-cash charges. The non-cash charges consisted of a $654 thousand gain on investment, a $957 thousand fair value adjustment of derivative liabilities, and a net $118 thousand gain on foreign exchange offset by $110 thousand in depreciation and amortization, $628 thousand in stock-based compensation, $30 thousand in non-cash lease expense, $115 thousand in non-cash interest, and $553 thousand increase in fair value to convertible debt.

Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities of $15.38 million was related to proceeds from share issuance of $14.87 million and convertible loan proceeds of $1.2 million, offset by $620 thousand in share issuance costs and $84 thousand repayment of our line of credit. We also received and repaid $2.9 million in loan funding during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by financing activities of $3.33 million was related to proceeds from share issuance of $2.9 million, convertible loan proceeds of $1 million, and line of credit of $110 thousand, offset by share issuance costs of $156 thousand and $536 thousand for repayment of loan.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for preclinical studies, clinical trials, and other service providers for operating purposes. We have not included these payments in the table of contractual obligations above since these contracts are generally cancellable at any time by us following a certain period after notice and therefore, we believe that our non-cancellable obligations under these agreements are not material.

Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $11.1 million compared to approximately $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $3.3 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a decreased loss of $3.0 million, and a increase in non-cash expenses of $0.8 million, offset by an increase in net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million.
Investing Activities
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no cash flows from investing activities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received $809 thousand from financing activities associated with the sale of IP.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $10.5 million compared to approximately $2.3 million used in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the receipt of $18,615 in net proceeds from the sale of common stock and exercise of pre-funded and common warrants, $1,160 in net proceeds from the issuance of Series C Preferred stock, and $1,050 from the issuance of promissory notes, offset by $3,698 in repayment of debt, including promissory notes, $5,000 on the redemption of Series A Preferred stock, and $1,652 on the conversion of Series A Preferred stock.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a $2.3 million financing cost as a result of a $1.5 million floor price adjustment on converted Series A Preferred Stock. We also paid an $800 Registration Delay Penalty on our Series A Preferred stock.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
As of September 30, 2023, we had a cash position of $1,399. We believe that the net proceeds from the PIPE Investment, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this 10-Q,Report, and our anticipated expenditures and commitments for calendar year 2021 and 2022,the next twelve months, will not enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12twelve months from the date of this information statement/prospectus.Report. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our estimate as to how long we expect the net proceeds from the PIPE Investment, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, to be able to continue to fund our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20212023 and September 30, 2020,2022, and our audited consolidated financial statements for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019,2022, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 20192022, included in our Form S-410-K for the year ended December 31, 20202022, filed on August 20, 2021 and as amended,March 13, 2023, and there have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a Smaller Reporting Company, we are exempt from the requirements of Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021.2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As discussed below, we believe we have remediated the material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures previously identified. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021,2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date, because of the material weaknesses identified, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined above, are notwere effective. We have limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection withSeptember 30, 2023, management believes that the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for year ended December 31, 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
The material weaknessesreporting previously identified were:have been remediated by the following measures taken by the Company:

A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with US GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by our employees. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statement will not be prevented or detected by our employees. In response, we have begun the process of evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, although we may not complete our review until December 31, 2022, the date we are required to evaluate our internal controls and procedures as a new reporting company. However, we have taken the actions set forth above to address these material weaknesses.
We intend to continue to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses described above and further evolve our accounting processes, controls, and reviews. We plan to continue to assess our internal controls and control procedures and intend to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify or are brought to our attention.
We believe we are making progress toward achievingExcept as discussed above, there have been no changes in the effectiveness of ourCompany’s internal controls and disclosure controls.

We may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate further action.reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time in the future, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. In the event we are subject to a legal proceeding, it could have a material adverse impact on us because of litigation costs and diversion of management resources.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
TheAn investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section captioned “Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this Report.
Risks Related to Our Business
We are in default under our license agreement with Novartis
Pursuant to a license agreement with Novartis and our wholly-owned subsidiary Allarity Therapeutics Europe ApS dated April 6, 2018, we have the we have the exclusive global right to use dovitinib for the treatment of cancers. Under the terms of the license agreement, we were required to make certain milestone payments, including a payment of $1,500,000 which was due on April 1, 2023. We did not make that milestone payment, and on April 4, 2023, we received notice from Novartis stating that Allarity Therapeutics Europe ApS is in breach of the license agreement and had 30 days from April 4, 2023, to cure. Subsequent to our April Offering, at the end of April 2023, we made a payment of $100,000 and on August 11, 2023, we made a further payment of $300,000 to Novartis. We are currently working with Novartis on an alternate payment structure. However, no assurance can be given that Novartis will accept an alternative payment structure and if we fail to make the milestone payments, Novartis does not agree to an alternative payment structure or we are otherwise in breach of the license agreement, we may lose our right to use dovitinib which will adversely affect our ability to conduct our clinical trials and to achieve our business objectives and adversely affect our financial results.
We have insufficient cash to continue our operations, our continued operations are dependent on us raising capital and these conditions give rise to substantial doubt over the Company’s ability continue as a going concern
As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.399 million in cash, and an accumulated deficit of $92.7 million. We had a working capital deficit of $11.4 million. As of November 14, 2023, our cash position has been determined to be insufficient to fund the Company’s operations for longer than approximately two months from such date. Further, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this filing, and our anticipated expenditures and commitments for the next twelve months, will not enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the twelve months from the date of this Report. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We will need to raise additional capital after to support our operations and execute our business plan. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financing. Any new securities that we believe are material to our investors are discussedmay issue in the Company’s registration statementfuture may be sold on form S-4 filedterms more favorable for our new investors than the terms on August 20, 2021which our stockholders acquired our securities. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other convertible securities that will have additional dilutive effects.
We cannot assure that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us and may cause existing shareholders both book value and ownership dilution. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the weakness of capital markets, and the fact that we have not been profitable, which could impact the availability and cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may have to reduce our operations accordingly.
We are delinquent in our payment to Eisai
In consideration for extension of certain deadlines and payment obligations, the Company entered in several amendments to an Exclusive License Agreement with Eisai. On May 26, 2023, the Company and Eisai entered into a fourth amendment to the Exclusive License Agreement with an effective date of May 16, 2023, under which the Company agreed to pay Eisai in periodic payments as follows: (i) $100,000; (ii) $50,000 within 10 days of execution of the fourth amendment; (iii) $100,000 upon completion of a capital raise (of which items (i) and (iii) have been paid): and (iv) $850,000 on or before March 1, 2024. Under the Exclusive License Agreement, the Company will have until April 1, 2024, to complete enrollment in a further Phase 1b or Phase 2 Clinical Trial of the Product. If the Company has not achieved successful completion of a further Phase 1b or Phase 2 Clinical Trial of the Product prior to April 1, 2024, Eisai may terminate the Agreement in its entirety, in its sole discretion on at least 120 days prior written notice. In light of our financial condition and dependence on financing for our operations, we may be unable to meet the payment requirements under the caption “Risk Factors,”fourth amendment and we may lose our right to use Stenoparib, which will adversely affect our ability to conduct our clinical trials and to achieve our business objectives and adversely affect our financial results.

The listing of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market is contingent on our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s conditions for continued listing. On April 20, 2022, we received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications stating that because we had not yet filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) by its due date, we were no longer in compliance with the listing requirement which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. ExceptOn May 17, 2022, we filed our Form 10-K with the SEC. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, we were late in filing our Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022.
On October 12, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications notifying us that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “June Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) for The Nasdaq Global Market, which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $10.0 million. As reported on the June Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $8.0 million. Pursuant to the letter, we were required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) by November 26, 2022. After discussions with the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff, on December 12, 2022, we filed a plan to regain and demonstrate long-term Nasdaq Listing Qualifications compliance including seeking to phase-down to The Nasdaq Capital Market. On December 21, 2022, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that they have granted us an extension of time until April 10, 2023, to regain and evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). On April 11, 2023, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that it has determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transactions and was unable to file a Form 8-K by the April 10, 2023 deadline, evidencing compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), and, as a result, the staff notification indicated that Company’s Common Stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. In that regard, unless the Company requests an appeal of such determination by April 18, 2023, trading of the Company’s Common Stock would be suspended at the opening of business on April 20, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC which would remove the Company’s Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Company requested an appeal for such determination, and on May 18, 2023, the Company had its appeal hearing before the Nasdaq hearings panel.
On November 21, 2022, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities for the last 30 consecutive business days from October 10, 2022, to November 18, 2022, the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirement set forth herein, therein Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until May 22, 2023, to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In the event we do not regain compliance by May 22, 2023, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. On March 24, 2023, we effected the 1-for-35 share consolidation of our Common Stock in order to attempt to meet the minimum bid requirement of $1.00 per share. On May 23, 2023, we received a letter from the staff of Nasdaq Regulation that the Company did not regain compliance of the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 by May 22, 2023, and as a result, the Nasdaq hearings panel would consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. On June 23, 2023, we held the Special Meeting of our stockholders to consider the adoption of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split within a range of 15 for 1 to 50 for 1 with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board and approved by the holder of our Series A Preferred Stock and we have informed the Nasdaq hearings panel of our Special Meeting. On June 23, 2023, at the Special Meeting, the June Reverse Stock Split Proposal was approved by the stockholders of the Company and subsequently the Board determined a fixed ratio of 40 for 1. The June Share Consolidation was effectuated on June 28, 2023.
On December 20, 2022, we received a written notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications indicating that we were not in compliance with the minimum MVPHS of $5,000,000 requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules Based on our MVPHS for the thirty-one (31) consecutive business days from November 4, 2022, to December 19, 2022, we no longer met the minimum MVPHS requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C). Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 19, 2023, to regain compliance. To regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rules, our MVPHS had to close at $5,000,000 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. On June 28, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications that because we transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market, we have regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) because our MVPHS has been $1,000,000 or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days.
On June 6, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq hearings panel that granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC until July 1, 2023 and the Company’s transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following conditions: (1) on or before July 1, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1) dealing with primary equity securities listed on the Global Market, and on or before July 1, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) dealing with a minimum bid of $1.00 per share. On June 14, 2023, we received a clarification letter from Nasdaq granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the following: (1) on or before July 10, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2); and (2) on or before July 14, 2023, the Company demonstrates compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b).
On July 14, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the bid price and equity concerns, as required by the Nasdaq hearings panel decision dated June 6, 2023, as amended. The Company is subject to a panel monitor for a period of one year from the July 14, 2023, letter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), which includes continued compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and other continued listing requirements. Failure to meet the stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 would result in immediate delisting, subject to the Company’s right to appeal. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $723,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, on July 10, 2023, the Company completed a public offering of common stock or pre-funded warrants and warrants to purchase common stock raising gross proceeds of approximately $11 million. After giving effect to the July 10, 2023, public offering, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis, was $4.355 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit and will need to raise capital in order to meet Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity requirement.
On October 27, 2023, we received notification from Nasdaq that it has determined that the bid price of our Common Stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Further, Nasdaq also noted that we effected a 1:35 reverse stock split on March 24, 2023, and an 1:40 reverse stock split on June 28, 2023. Because we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we will not be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv).
In that regard, unless we requested an appeal from such determination, trading of our Common Stock would have been suspended at the opening of business on November 7, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the SEC which would have removed our Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. We filed a notice of appeal and received a hearing date of February 1, 2024. During such appeal, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
If we fail to meet any other Nasdaq listing requirements and do not regain compliance, we may be subject to delisting by Nasdaq. In the event our Common Stock is no material changeslonger listed for trading on Nasdaq, our trading volume and share price may decrease and you may have a difficult time selling your shares of Common Stock. In addition, we may experience difficulties in raising capital which could materially adversely affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting from Nasdaq markets could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers, and employees. Finally, delisting could make it harder for you and the Company to sell the securities and hard for us to raise capital.
We have granted certain rights to certain holders of our securities which limits our ability to raise funds from the sale of our securities, and trigger adjustments t to certain outstanding warrants.
Holders of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Existing Warrants, Inducement Warrants and Exchange Warrant have certain rights that limit our ability to raise funds from the sale of our securities. Under the Exchange Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, we agreed that so long as any holder of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owns any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of certain holders of Series A Preferred Stock, issue any Series A Preferred Stock. The Company also agreed that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries would issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” except for the April Offering (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement (whether occurring during certain restricted period or at any time thereafter). Therefore, so long as there are any shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding we must receive the nine months ended November 23, 2021consent of the required holder of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to undertaking any offering. In addition, in connection with the Inducement Warrants and the July Offering, we are prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction until January 10, 2024.
Furthermore, under the terms of the Exchange Warrant, if we sell securities below the exercise price of the respective warrant, then the exercise price of the Exchange warrant is subject to an adjustment based on the purchase price of the securities. The exercise of such securities based on the downward adjusted exercise price or conversion price will result in issuance of additional securities and additional dilution to our previously reported Risk Factors.stockholders.
Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline.
The sale of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell our Common Stock or for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.
As of November 1, 2023, we had (i) 1,417 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding that can be converted into up to 1,530,360 shares of Common Stock based upon a conversion price of $1.00 and stated value of $1,080, subject to adjustment, (ii) 2,095,867 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share which were issued in a public offering that closed in April 2023 and July 2023; (iii) 9,452,667 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share issued pursuant to a Modification and Exchange Agreement dated April 20, 2023, as amended, and (iv) 4,877,778 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share issued to the September Investors. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, and holders of our warrants may convert, exercise or exchange their securities into shares of Common Stock which sales thereof could adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock, and dilute stockholders ownership of our Common Stock.
We received a request for documents from the SEC in the investigation known as “In the Matter of Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.,” and, separately, a letter from Nasdaq, regarding the same matter, the consequences of which are unknown.
In January 2023, we received a request to produce documents from the SEC that stated that the staff of the SEC is conducting an investigation known as “In the Matter of Allarity Therapeutics, Inc.” to determine if violations of the federal securities laws have occurred. The documents requested appear to focus on submissions, communications and meetings with the FDA regarding our NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP. The SEC letter also stated that investigation is a fact-finding inquiry and does not mean that that the SEC has concluded that the Company or anyone else has violated the laws. As a result of the disclosure of the SEC request, the Nasdaq staff has requested us to provide them with the information requested by the SEC. We are providing the information requested by the SEC and Nasdaq staff.
We do not know when the SEC’s or Nasdaq’s investigation will be concluded or what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the SEC, Nasdaq or their staff as a result of the matters that are the subject to its investigation or what impact, if any, the cost of continuing to respond to inquiries might have on our financial position or results of operations. We have not established any provision for losses in respect of this matter. In addition, complying with any such future requests by the SEC or Nasdaq for documents or testimony would distract the time and attention of our officers and directors or divert our resources away from ongoing business matters. This investigation may result in significant legal expenses, the diversion of management’s attention from our business, could cause damage to our business and reputation, and could subject us to a wide range of remedies, including enforcement actions by the SEC or delisting proceedings by Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that any final resolution of this or any similar matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
NonePursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letter dated September 14, 2023 with each of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd., or the September Investors, who were holders of existing common stock purchase warrants issued in the April Offering and July Offering, or the Existing Warrants, we agreed to issue common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the Existing Warrants, which in the aggregate represents 4,877,778 shares of Common Stock, or the Inducement Warrants, as an inducement for the September Investors to exercise their respective Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $1.00. The Inducement Warrants exercisable for 5 years and six months from the issue date, at an exercise price of $1.00, subject to adjustment. The Common Stock underlying the Inducement Warrants were registered on a registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on October 19, 2023.
The offer, sale, and issuance of the Inducement Warrants were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
