5,000,000 Shares

Common StockPRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

Up to 1,511,335 Shares of Common Stock

Up to 1,511,335 Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to 1,511,335 Shares of Common Stock

Up to 1,511,335 Series A Common Warrants to Purchase up to 1,511,335 Shares of Common Stock

Up to 1,511,335 Series B Common Warrants to Purchase up to 1,511,335 Shares of Common Stock

Up to 1,511,335 Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants

Up to 3,022,670 Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants

 

We are offering 5,000,000on a “reasonable best efforts” basis up to $6.0 million of shares of our common stock and Series A Common Warrants and Series B Common Warrants (collectively, the “Common Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock that are issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Common Warrants), at an assumed public offering price of $3.97 per share and accompanying Series A Common Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and Series B Common Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, which was the closing price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 8, 2023. We are also offering to certain purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, in lieu of shares of common stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of our common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant and accompanying Common Warrants will be equal to the price at which a share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants are sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will be $0.0001 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. Each share of common stock and pre-funded warrant is being sold together with a Series A Common Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and a Series B Common Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, each with an exercise price of $            per share (representing 100% of the price at which a share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants are sold to the public in this offering). The Common Warrants will be exercisable immediately and will expire as follows: the Series A Common Warrant will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance and the Series B Common Warrant will expire on the eighteen month anniversary of the date of issuance. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because we will issue two Common Warrants for each share of our common stock and two Common Warrants for each pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of our common stock sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants sold. The shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, and the accompanying Common Warrants, can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance. This offering also relates to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any Common Warrants and pre-funded warrants sold in this offering.

Immediately following the closing of this offering, pursuant to the 2021 Loan Agreement (as defined in this prospectus), an aggregate of $4.0 million of the principal amount under such loan will be automatically converted into an assumed 1,007,556 shares of common stock (and/or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof), at a conversion price equal to the public offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants in this offering, based on the assumed combined public offering price of $3.97 per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants, which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 8, 2023. The Lender (as defined in this prospectus) will also be issued Conversion Common Warrants (as defined in this prospectus) to purchase an assumed 2,015,112 shares of common stock, representing warrant coverage on the shares being issued to the Lender in the same form and terms and at the same proportion as investors in this offering, and will have executed a customary lock-up agreement with respect to such shares and warrants for a 90-day period following the closing. We will also prepay $1.5 million of the principal amount of such loan from the net proceeds of this offering. The securities issued to the Lender in the conversion will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, and this offering does not relate to the issuance of such securities.

 

Our common stock is listed on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MOTS.” On December 13, 2018,8, 2023 the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market was $3.23$3.97 per share. There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or the Common Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the pre-funded warrants or the Common Warrants on any national securities exchange. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and the Common Warrants will be limited.

The public offering price per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants and any pre-funded warrant and accompanying Common Warrants, as the case may be, will be determined by us at the time of pricing, may be at a discount to the current market price, and the recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

You should read this prospectus, together with additional information described under the headings “Information Incorporated by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before you invest in any of our securities.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws.laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Our Company

General

We have“Company”), has developed the Pure-Vu System, (the “Pure-Vu System”), a medical device that has received 510(k) clearance frombeen cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to help facilitate the cleansing of a poorly prepared gastrointestinal tract during colonoscopy and to help facilitate upper gastrointestinal (“GI”) endoscopy procedures. The Pure-Vu System is also CE mark approvalmarked in the European Economic Area.Area (EEA) for use in colonoscopy. The Pure-Vu System is indicated to help facilitate the cleaning of a poorly prepared colon during the colonoscopy procedure. The device integrates with standard and slim colonoscopes, as well as gastroscopes, to enable safeimprove visualization during colonoscopy and rapid cleansing during the procedureupper GI procedures while preserving established procedural workflow and techniquestechniques. Through irrigation and evacuation of debris, the Pure-Vu System is designed to provide better-quality exams. Challenges exist for inpatient colonoscopy and endoscopy, particularly for patients who are elderly, with comorbidities, or active bleeds, where the ability to visualize, diagnose and treat is often compromised due to debris, including fecal matter, blood, or blood clots. We believe this is especially true in high acuity patients, like GI bleeding where the existence of blood and blood clots can impair a physician’s view and removing them can be critical in allowing a physician the ability to identify and treat the source of bleeding on a timely basis. We believe use of the Pure-Vu System may lead to positive outcomes and lower costs for hospitals by irrigatingsafely and quickly improving visualization of the colon and evacuatingupper GI tract, potentially enabling effective diagnosis and treatment without delay. In multiple clinical studies to date, involving the irrigation fluid (water)treatment of challenging inpatient and outpatient cases, the Pure-Vu System has consistently helped achieve adequate bowel cleanliness rates greater than 95% following a reduced prep regimen. We also believe that the technology may be useful in the future as a tool to help reduce user dependency on conventional pre-procedural bowel prep regimens. Based on our review and analysis of 2019 market data and 2021 projections for the U.S. and Europe, as obtained from iData Research Inc., feces and other bodily fluids and matter. Challenges with bowel preparation for inpatient colonoscopy represent a significant area of unmet needwe believe that directly affects clinical outcomes and increases the cost of care for a hospital in a market segment where most of the reimbursement is under a bundle payment based on a Diagnostic Related Group (a “DRG”), comprising ofduring 2022 approximately 1.5 million annualinpatient colonoscopy procedures were performed in the U.S. and approximately 3.84.8 million annual procedures worldwide. Upper GI bleeds occurred in the U.S. at a rate of approximately 400,000 cases per year in 2019, according to iData Research Inc. The Pure-Vu System has been assigned an ICD-10 code in the US. The system does not currently have a unique reimbursement codecodes with any private or governmental third-party payors in any country. To date, as part ofother country or for any other use; however, we may pursue reimbursement activities in the limited market development launch, we have focused on collecting additional clinical and health economic data, as exemplified byfuture, particularly in the recently initiated Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement Study (the “REDUCE Study”), along with garnering valuable experienceoutpatient colonoscopy market. We received 510(k) clearance in key hospitals onOctober 2023 from the use ofFDA for the Pure-Vu EVS System to support a planned full launchfor use in the United States inpatient colonoscopyUpper GI tract as well as an enhanced version for the colon. We expect to begin market introduction of these products in 2019. We dothe coming months. The Company does not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales unless and until we expand ourit further expands its commercialization efforts.

Clinical Data & Safety2021 Loan Amendment

On July 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a loan facility (the “2021 Loan Agreement”) with a private institutional lender (the “Lender”). Under the 2021 Loan Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide us with access to term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million (the “Loan”) in three tranches as follows: (a) on the Effective Date, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million (the “Convertible Note”, or “Tranche A”), (b) on the effective date of the Loan, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (“Tranche B”), and (c) available until December 31, 2021, a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million (“Tranche C” and, together with Tranche B, the “Term Loan”). The 2021 Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, indemnification provisions in favor of the Lender, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make investments, dispose of assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. Outstanding borrowings under the Loan are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all of our personal property assets, including our material intellectual property and equity interests in its subsidiaries. There are no liquidity or financial covenants.

 

InThe Convertible Note and Tranche B were funded on the effective date. As of December 31, 2021, we drew down the full $3 million aggregate principal amount of Tranche C.

The Convertible Note requires forty-eight monthly interest only payments at 7.75% per annum commencing after the Effective Date and thereafter full payment of the then outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note on July 1, 2025. The Tranche B loan requires interest only monthly payments commencing on the Effective Date until September 30, 2022 and, thereafter, thirty-three (33) monthly payments of principal and interest accrued thereon until June 1, 2025. The Tranche C loan, to the extent drawn on or prior to December 31, 2021, requires monthly payments of interest only commencing on the date drawn until September 30, 2022 and, thereafter, thirty-three (33) monthly payments of principal and interest accrued thereon until June 1, 2025. Interest on the Tranche B and Tranche C loans accrues at 9.5% per annum.

The 2021 Loan Agreement contains features that would permit the Lender to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note at any time, pursuant to which the converted part of the Convertible Note will be converted into that number of shares of our common stock to be issued to the Lender at a recent clinical study performedprice per share equal to the conversion price, of $420.00 per share. Following the conversion of any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note, the principal balance of the Convertible Note remaining outstanding shall continue to bear interest at 7.75% per annum.

On November 28, 2023, we and the Lender entered into a First Amendment to the 2021 Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a)(i) on the effective date of the Amendment, we paid to the Lender a sum of $750,000 in cash via wire transfer in immediately available funds (the “Amendment Execution Date Payment”), and (ii) upon consummation of a First Amendment Capital Raise (as defined below) and immediately following the Convertible Note Securities Exchange (as defined below), we will prepay to the Lender a sum of $1,500,000 in cash via wire transfer in immediately available funds (the “Closing Payment”), which sums set forth in (i) and (ii) shall be applied towards partial prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan; and (b) subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Lender) of certain Exchange Conditions (as defined in the United States,Amendment), immediately following the consummation of a First Amendment Capital Raise, which we assume this offering will be, $4.0 million (the “Conversion Amount”) of the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Convertible Note will automatically convert into such number of shares of our common stock (the “Convertible Note Securities Exchange”) at a price per share equal to the public offering price per share in the First Amendment Capital Raise representing the Conversion Amount; provided, that, (A) the Lender shall have executed a customary lock-up agreement for a 90-day period following the Convertible Note Securities Exchange, (B) the Lender shall receive the same warrant coverage (the “Conversion Common Warrants”) per share of common stock, if any, as investors purchasing securities in the First Amendment Capital Raise and (C) the Lender shall receive a pre-funded warrant (the “Conversion Pre-Funded Warrant”) in lieu of shares of common stock otherwise issuable upon the Convertible Note Securities Exchange for such number of shares that would represent more than 4.5% of the pre-exercise outstanding shares of common stock, providing that the Lender will not own (x) more than 4.99% of the post-exercise outstanding shares of common stock at any time and (y) to the extent required under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, more than 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Convertible Note Securities Exchange (but after the consummation of the First Amendment Capital Raise) unless applicable shareholder approval is obtained. “First Amendment Capital Raise” means the Company raising additional cash through one equity financing registered under the Securities Act (to be consummated no later than December 29, 2023) with gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million. The securities issued to Lender in the Convertible Note Securities Exchange will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, and this offering does not relate to the issuance of such securities. We also agreed to file a resale registration statement to register the securities being issued to Lender in the Convertible Note Securities Exchange as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 91 calendar days after the closing of the Convertible Note Securities Exchange). Assuming this offering will satisfy the definition of the First Amendment Capital Raise, we will issue to the Lender an aggregate of 1,007,556 shares of our common stock (or Conversion Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) and Conversion Common Warrants to purchase 2,015,112 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the exercise price and a term of each of the classes of the Common Warrants sold in this offering, based on the assumed combined public offering price of $3.97 per share of common stock and accompanying Common Warrants, which is the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 8, 2023. We do not intend to price this offering for less than $5.0 million in gross proceeds.

Nasdaq Deficiencies and Reverse Stock Split

As previously disclosed, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we are not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”). In addition, as previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 5, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock had failed to close above the minimum $1 requirement for the past 30 trading days in violation of Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 27, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On September 27, 2023, we received notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) granted us an extension to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and the Bid Price Rule until January 2, 2024.

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on September 21, 2023, our stockholders approved a proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than two-for-one (2:1) and not greater than twenty-for-one (20:1), at any time prior to the one year anniversary date of our annual meeting of stockholders, with the exact ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors. On November 2, 2023, we effected a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15 (the “2023 Reverse Stock Split”), and on November 21, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that we had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. All historical information in this prospectus (other than information incorporated by reference herein dated prior to November 2, 2023) has been retroactively adjusted for the 2023 Reverse Stock Split. We intend to regain compliance with the Equity Rule through the consummation of this offering and the Convertible Note Securities Exchange. Even if we regain compliance with the Equity Rule prior to the January 2, 2024 deadline, we expect that we will need to raise additional capital to remain in compliance with the Equity Rule for future reporting periods, which capital raises may result in additional dilution to investors in our securities.

Operations in Israel

We have research and development capabilities in electrical and mechanical engineering with laboratories in our facility in Israel for development and prototyping, and electronics design and testing. Currently, the workstation and loading fixture component of our Pure-Vu System demonstrated safe and effective colonic cleaningis manufactured by Sanmina Corporation at their facilities in 46 patients receiving a reduced prep regimen.Israel. The study was initially designed to compare two different minimal bowel preparation regimens. Initially patients were randomized to receive one of two minimal bowel preparations: three doses of 17 gr. MiraLAX each mixed in 8.5 oz. of clear liquids or two doses of 7.5 oz. magnesium citrate (MgC) each taken with 19.5 oz. of clear liquid. A study amendment early on replaced the MiraLAX arm, due to obvious inferior Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (“BBPS”), a validated assessment instrument, scoring from the outset. The replacement arm consisted of two doses of 5 oz. MgC taken with 16 oz. of clear liquid. All patients were allowed to eat a low residue diet on the day prior and were asked to avoid seeds and nuts for five days prior to their procedure. Study objectives evaluated for each study arm included: (1) improvement of colon cleansing from presentation baseline to completion of the procedure (as assessed by the BBPS) through the usedisposable portion of the Pure-Vu System, (2) time required to reach the cecum, (3) total procedure time, and (4) safety. No significant differences were found between the three groups with regard to demographics or indication for colonoscopy. No serious adverse events related to the device were reported.EVS is manufactured by Sterling Industries in their Michigan, U.S. facility. The usedisposable portion of the Pure-Vu System enabled successful intraprocedural cleansing of the colon and ensured successful completion of all colonoscopies performed (100% success rate). Although there were only 46 patients in the study, there was a highly significant difference in the study population (p value <0.0001) between the baseline preparation and that seen post cleansing with the Pure-Vu System. The use of the Pure-Vu System added some time to the procedure, but the total procedure time was approximately 25 minutes in this study.

The clinical data showing performance of the Pure-Vu System in this study using the BBPS is shown below. The clinical results from the study were presented at the 2018 American College of Gastroenterology (“ACG”) Annual Meeting in October 2018.

 

REDUCE Study

Published studies have found that the inpatient population experiences rates of insufficiently prepped colons at the time of colonoscopy as high as 55%. This has been shown to lead directly to significantly longer hospital stays and other additional costs due to the need for repeated preps, repeated colonoscopies and additional diagnostic procedures. This is exemplified in a recently published study from Northwestern University Hospital System which showed an average hospital stay extension of two days and cost increase of as much as $8,000 per patient as a result of challenges associated with bowel preparation. We believe the Pure-Vu System may improve outcomes and lower costs for hospitals by reducing the time to a successful colonoscopy, minimizing delayed and incomplete procedures, and improving the quality of an exam.

On May 23, 2018, we announced the initiation of the Reliable Endoscopic Diagnosis Utilizing Cleansing Enhancement Study (the “REDUCE Study”). The REDUCE Study is a multi-center inpatient prospective trial designed to evaluate the Pure-Vu System’s ability to consistently and reliably cleanse the colon to facilitate a successful colonoscopy in a timely manner in patients who are indicated for a diagnostic colonoscopy. The study will enroll approximately 100 subjects in at least five hospital centers in the United States and Europe.

We expect to announce a top-line readout of the REDUCE Study data in the first quarter of 2019. The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the Pure-Vu System’s rate of improved bowel cleansing level using the BBPS index. Other key data being collected in the study includes the proportion of patients who receive a successful colonoscopy for the intended indication in the first attempt, which impacts the quality of the exam as well as hospital length of stay and costs required for the episode of care. The savings to the hospital can be meaningful as National Inpatient Sample (“NIS”) and other literature sources note that the cost for a standard hospital bed averages $2,298 and the cost for an intensive care unit (“ICU”) bed averages $6,546 per day in the U.S.

FDA Clearance to Market Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve

On September 13, 2018, we announced that we received special 510(k) clearance from FDA for the Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve (the “Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve”), a compatible extension to the Pure-Vu System for slim colonoscopes. The Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve design allows the Pure-Vu System access to the full range of procedures in the colonoscopy market as we estimate, through consultation with colonoscope manufacturing companies, approximately 30% of procedures are performed with a slim colonoscope. The Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve has the same cleansing performance as the standard Pure-Vu System sleeve, and both versions work with the same Pure-Vu workstation control system. The Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve has been designed to be compatible with smaller diameter and more flexible slim colonoscopes with additional enhancements to our low friction lubricious coating technology to aid in navigation through the colon. The first successful clinical cases using the Pure-Vu Slim Sleeve were completed in October 2018.

Second Generation of Pure-Vu

We expect to submit a Special 510(k) Notice to FDA in the first quarter of 2019 for the Second-Generation (“Gen 2”) of the Pure-Vu System. This premarket notification is a premarket submission used to review with FDA modifications to our devices that can be validated within our Quality Systems and which do not affect the device’s intended use or alter the device’s fundamental scientific technology.

The Gen 2 Pure-Vu System has been designed to improveis manufactured by Polyzen, Inc., at their facilities in North Carolina, U.S. Both Sterling Industries and Polyzen use Medacys in Shenzhen, China as key sub-supplier for the mobility and logisticsinjection molded parts in the setupPure Vu disposables. On October 7, 2023, the “Swords of Iron” war stroke between Israel and the system and will retain allterrorist organizations in the same functionality asGaza Strip, following a surprise attack on Israel led by certain armed groups in the current generation ofGaza Strip. To date, our operations in Israel have not been significantly impacted by the Pure-Vu System in terms of how it cleansesongoing war or the colon. The Gen 2 Pure-Vu System Workstation will have a reduced footprint and be mounted on a roll stand to allow nursing staff to easily move the Gen 2 Pure-Vu System to different procedure rooms or to the ICU as needed. The Gen 2 Pure-Vu System also has improvements that reduce the number of steps to set up the system and simplifies the loading process onto the colonoscope.

Additional Clinical Studies and Market Expansion OpportunitiesOctober 7, 2023 terrorist attack.

 

We expectFor additional information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to initiate the EXPEDITE Study (the “EXPEDITE Study”)Our Operations in the first quarter of 2019. The EXPEDITE Study is a planned feasibility study in hospitalized patients which will be designed to analyze the Pure-Vu System’s ability to minimize the preparation in order to shorten the time to a successful colonoscopy in the inpatient population. We are also working with key centers to generate clinical data on outpatient populations that have difficulty with the pre-procedural preparation to study the Pure-Vu System’s ability to allow these patients to have a successful exam. This data is expected to lay the ground work for future expansion into high need outpatient populations.Israel.”

Our resources are currently focused on the planned full launch of the Pure-Vu System in the United States inpatient colonoscopy market in 2019. However, we have identified two follow-on market expansion opportunities we may explore in the future. These include the inpatient upper gastrointestinal bleed (“Upper GI”) endoscopy market and the outpatient high medical need colonoscopy market. In the Upper GI bleed endoscopy market, we believe the Pure-Vu System has the potential to be used during endoscopy procedures to remove clots and debris to provide a clear field of view for the endoscopist. Separately, the outpatient high medical need colonoscopy market presents a large potential commercial market opportunity for the Pure-Vu System, as close to 26 million outpatient colonoscopy procedures are performed worldwide. Based on published literature in several peer reviewed journals from 2010 to 2015 and surveys of physicians conducted in 2015, approximately 23% of such colonoscopy patients can have an inadequate preparation, which may lead to repeat procedures earlier than the medical guidelines suggest. We believe use of the Pure-Vu System has the potential to reduce the need for such repeat procedures if used in the outpatient high medical need colonoscopy market. Additionally, if we choose to explore either market, we may be able to leverage our existing hospital and doctor relationships developed through our inpatient colonoscopy sales force to facilitate such expansion.

This offering also relates to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any pre-funded warrants sold in this offering. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because we will issue two Common Warrants for each share of our common stock and two Common Warrants for each pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of our common stock sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the shares of our common stock and pre-funded warrants sold.

Risks RelatedRISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS IN ISRAEL

Our research and development facilities and some of our suppliers are located in Israel and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.

Our research and development facilities are located in northern Israel. In addition, most of our employees are residents of Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, the State of Israel and its economy has experienced significant growth and expansion, coupled with an increase in the standard of living, and has developed one of the most advanced high-tech industries in the world. However, it continues to face many geo-political and other challenges that may affect companies located in Israel, such as ours. For example, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Although Israel has entered into peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan, comprehensive agreements with the Palestinian Authority, and other agreements with neighboring Arab countries regarding public normalization of relations, there continues to be unrest and terrorist activity in Israel with varying levels of severity, as well as ongoing hostilities and armed conflicts between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and other groups in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, recent unrest was due to the United States’ relocation of its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The effects of these hostilities and violence on the Israeli economy and our operations are unclear, and we cannot predict the effect on us of a further increase in these hostilities or any future armed conflict, political instability or violence in the region. We could be harmed by any major hostilities involving Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, boycotts or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel. The impact of Israel’s relations with its Arab neighbors in general, or on our operations in the region in particular, remains uncertain. The establishment of new fundamentalist Islamic regimes or governments more hostile to Israel could have serious consequences for the stability in the region, place additional political, economic and military confines upon Israel, materially adversely affect our operations and limit our ability to sell our products to countries in the region.

In particular, on October 7, 2023, the “Swords of Iron” war stroke between Israel and the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, following a surprise attack on Israel led by certain armed groups in the Gaza Strip. To date, our operations in Israel have not been significantly impacted by the ongoing war or the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack, however we will disclose via Current Report on Form 8-K any material changes to our operations resulting from the conflict.

Additionally, several countries, principally in the Middle East, still restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries and groups have imposed or may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. These restrictions may limit our ability to sell our products to companies in these countries. Furthermore, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, a global campaign attempting to increase economic and political pressure on Israel to comply with the stated goals of the movement, may gain increased traction and result in a boycott of Israeli products and services. Any hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Financial Positioncommercial insurance policy does not cover losses associated with armed conflicts and Needterrorist attacks. Although the Israeli government in the past covered the reinstatement value of certain damages that were caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained, or if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for Capitaldamages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations could also be disrupted by the obligations of some of our employees to perform military service. Some of our employees in Israel may be called upon to perform up to 54 days in each three year period (and in the case of military officers, up to 84 days in each three year period) of military reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (and in some cases, depending on their specific military profession and rank up to 45 or even 49 years of age) and, in certain emergency circumstances, may be called to immediate and unlimited active duty. In response to increases in terrorist activity, there have been periods of significant call-ups of military reservists and it is possible that there will be similar large-scale military reserve duty call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of employees related to military service, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. To date, none of our employees have been called upon to perform reserve duty as a result of the October 7, 2023 attack and ongoing war.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which will affect our ability to obtain future financing and may require us to curtail our operations.

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2017 were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. The independent registered public accounting firm that audited our 2017 financial statements, in their report, included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses since inception and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to achieve any of the foregoing.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

After this offering, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders will continue to exercise significant control over our Company, and will control our company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.

When this offering is completed our officers, directors, entities controlled by our officers and directors, and principal stockholders who beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock before this offering will in the aggregate, beneficially own shares representing approximately 47.76% of our outstanding capital stock immediately after this offering (based upon an assumed public offering price of $3.23 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2018). As a result, such entities and individuals have the ability, acting together, to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders and be disadvantageous to our stockholders with interests different from those entities and individuals. These individuals also have significant control over our business, policies and affairs as officers and directors of our company. Therefore, you should not invest in reliance on your ability to have any control over our company.

Investors in this offering will pay a higher price than the book value of our common stock.

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will pay more for your shares than the amounts paid by existing stockholders for their shares. You will incurexperience immediate and substantial dilution of $2.07in your investment. You will experience further dilution if we issue additional equity or equity-linked securities in the future.

Because the price per share representingof our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the difference between ourpro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effectof our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution with respect to the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering andoffering. Based on an assumed combined public offering price of $3.23$3.97 per share the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2018. To the extent any outstanding options or warrants are ultimately converted or exercised,and accompanying Common Warrants being sold in this offering, and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 of $2.08 per share, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will sustain further dilution. For further information, seesuffer immediate and substantial dilution of $1.89 per share with respect to the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of the common stock. See the section entitled “Dilution.”

If we sell shares“Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of ourthe dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in future financings, stockholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.this offering.

 

We may from time to timeIf we issue additional shares of common stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, our stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants and accompanying Common Warrants in this offering, will experience additional dilution, and any such issuances may result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a discountprice per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.

This is a reasonable best efforts offering, which we will only consummate for $5.0 million or more in gross proceeds.

The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. Although we will only consummate an offering of $5.0 million or more in gross proceeds, the actual public offering amount, placement agent’s fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above, subject to the $5.0 million minimum, and there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated.

If we fail to regain compliance with the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted from trading, which would adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.

The Nasdaq Capital Market’s rules for listed companies requires us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our common stock. In order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, we must satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq for inclusion in The Nasdaq Capital Market, including among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum bid price for our common stock of $1.00 per share.

As previously disclosed, we received a letter from the currentNasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we are not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”). In addition, as previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 5, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock had failed to close above the minimum $1 requirement for the past 30 trading days in violation of Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 27, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On September 27, 2023, we received notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) granted us an extension to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and the Bid Price Rule until January 2, 2024.

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on September 21, 2023, our stockholders approved a proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than two-for-one (2:1) and not greater than twenty-for-one (20:1), at any time prior to the one year anniversary date of our annual meeting of stockholders, with the exact ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors. On November 2, 2023, we effected a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-15.

We intend to regain compliance with the applicable continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the end of the compliance period set forth in the abovementioned letter. On November 21, 2023, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that we had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. We intend to regain compliance with the Equity Rule through the consummation of this offering and the Convertible Note Securities Exchange. However, until Nasdaq has reached a final determination that we have regained compliance with all of the applicable continued listing requirements, there can be no assurances regarding the continued listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. The delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq would have a material adverse effect on our access to capital markets, and any limitation on market liquidity or reduction in the price of our common stock as a result of that delisting would adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Even if we regain compliance with the Equity Rule prior to the January 2, 2024 deadline, we expect that we will need to raise additional capital to remain in compliance with the Equity Rule for future reporting periods, which capital raises may result in additional dilution to investors in our securities.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, either by us or by our existing stockholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon

Future sales in the purchasepublic market of any shares of our common stock sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. If we issue common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of common stock, including shares referred to in the foregoing risk factor, shares held by our existing stockholders or shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our common stockholders would experiencestock or make it difficult for us to raise additional dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.capital.

 

There is no public market for the pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including The Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and Common Warrants will be limited.

Holders of pre-funded warrants and Common Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise such warrants and acquire our common stock.

Until holders of pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of such warrants, holders of pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants or Common Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

Our failure to apply the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

An active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained.

Prior to the closing of our IPO, there had been no public market for our common stock. Although our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the market for our shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our common stock may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impaireffectively could compromise our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling sharespursue our growth strategy and may impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.

Our share price maywe might not be volatile, which could subject us to securities class action litigation and prevent you from being able to sell your shares at or above the offering price.

You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above the offering price. The market price foryield a significant return, if any, on our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that we provide to the public;
issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares; additions or departures of key management or other personnel;
disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;
announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;
sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and
general economic, market or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

In particular, the market prices of early commercial-stage companies like ours have been highly volatile due to factors, including, but not limited to:

any delay or failure to conduct a clinical trial for our product or receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory agents;
developments or disputes concerning our product’s intellectual property rights;
our or our competitors’ technological innovations;
fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new technologies or patents;
failure to complete significant transactions or collaborate with vendors in manufacturing our product; and
proposals for legislation that would place restrictions on the price of medical therapies or devices.

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq Capital Market and emerging growth companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Innet proceeds. You will not have the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any ofopportunity to influence our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention ofdecisions on how to use our management.

Shareholders will experience dilution by exercises of outstanding warrants and options.

As of September 30, 2018, there were 2,586,551 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.20 per share, and options to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,964,454 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.48 per share. Since September 30, 2018, we have issued (i) an additional 560,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our equity incentive plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $3.78 per share, and (ii) an additional42,917 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $7.48 per share.

The exercise of such warrants and options will result in dilution of your investment. As a result ofnet proceeds from this dilution, you may receive significantly less than the full purchase price you paid for our securities in the event of liquidation.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $14.57$5.2 million from the sale of the shares of common stocksecurities offered by us in this offering, or approximately $16.82 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, based on an assumed combined public offering price of $3.23$3.97 per share (theand accompanying Common Warrants, which was the last reported salesales price of our common stock on theThe Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2018) and8, 2023, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $3.23 per share (last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2018) would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissionsplacement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, by approximately $4.65excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Common Warrants issued in this offering.

The foregoing discussion assumes no sale of pre-funded warrants, which if sold, would reduce the number of shares of common stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to support the market introduction of our Upper GI and next generation system, research and development, including clinical trials, working capital and general corporate purposes, including the prepayment of $1.5 million assumingof principal under the 2021 Loan Agreement and future debt payments under the 2021 Loan Agreement. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks that may affect our intended use of the net proceeds from this offering.

Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot currently allocate specific percentages of the net proceeds that we may use for the purposes specified above, and we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including our ability to obtain additional financing, the progress, cost and results of our preclinical and clinical development programs, and whether we are able to enter into future licensing or collaboration arrangements.

Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S.

We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for commercialization activities, research and development activities, including clinical and regulatory development and the continued development and enhancement of our Pure-Vu System, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Although we currently anticipate that we will use the net proceeds from this offering as described above, there may be circumstances where a reallocation of funds is necessary. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including our sales and marketing and commercialization efforts, demand for our products, our operating costs and the other factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. Accordingly, our management will have flexibility in applying the net proceeds from this offering.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain funds and future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future following this offering. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit financings may preclude us from paying dividends.

In addition, the ability of Motus GI Medical Technologies Ltd., an Israeli Company (“Opco”), our direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, to distribute dividends may be limited by Israeli law. The Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or the Israeli Companies Law, restricts Opco’s ability to declare dividends. Unless otherwise approved by a court, Opco can distribute dividends only from “profits” (as defined by the Israeli Companies Law). Dividends may be paid with the approval of a court, at a company’s request, provided that there is no reasonable concern that payment of the dividend will prevent the company from satisfying its current and foreseeable obligations, as they become due.

The payment of dividends by Opco to Holdings may be subject to Israeli withholding taxes.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Our board of directors has adopted a policy that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock, any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons and any firms, corporations or other entities in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest (collectively “related parties”), are not permitted to enter into a transaction with us without the prior consent of our board of directors acting through the Audit Committee or, in certain circumstances, the chairman of the Audit Committee. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with a related party, in which the amount involved exceeds $100,000 and such related party would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to our Audit Committee, or in certain circumstances the chairman of our Audit Committee, for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee, or the chairman of our Audit Committee, is to consider the material facts of the transaction, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances, the extent of the benefits to us, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

Director Independence

Our board of directors undertook a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Hochman, Mr. Sherman, Mr. Jacobs, Dr. Nussbaum, Mr. Korangy and Mr. Pruden do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the Rules of the Nasdaq Market and the SEC.

In the case of any transfer permitted under clause (b), the holder must notify us in writing of the proposed transfer and furnish us with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to us, that the transfer will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Each certificate representing a security contains a legend referring to this restriction on transfer and any legends required by state securities laws.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. We currently have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Royalty Payment Rights Certificates

We have issued Royalty Payment Rights Certificates (the “Royalty Payment Rights Certificates”) entitling the holders of such certificates to the following royalty payment rights (the “Royalty Payment Rights”):

Royalties. If and when we generate sales of the current and potential future versions of the Pure-Vu System, including disposables, parts, and services, or if we receive any proceeds from the licensing of the current and potential future versions of the Pure-Vu System, then we will pay to the holders of our Royalty Payment Rights Certificates (the “Holders”) with the allocation of such Royalty Payment Rights between Holders determined as set forth below under “Allocation of Royalty Payments”, a royalty (the “Royalty Amount”) equal to, in the aggregate, in royalty payments in any calendar year for all products:Bylaws

The Company Commercializes Product Directly

The Rights to Commercialize the Product is

Sublicensed by the Company to a third-party

3% of any Net Sales*5% of any Licensing Proceeds**

* Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Net Sales based Royalty Amounts, (a) no Net Sales based Royalty Amount shall begin to accrue or become payable until we have first generated, in the aggregate, since inception, Net Sales equal to $20 million (the “Initial Net Sales Milestone”), and royalties shall only be computed on, and due with respect to, Net Sales generated in excess of the Initial Net Sales Milestone, and (b) the total Net Sales based Royalty Amount due and payable in any calendar year shall be subject to a cap per calendar year of $30 million. “Net Sales” is defined in the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates.

** Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amounts, (a) no Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amount shall begin to accrue or become payable until we have first generated, in the aggregate, since inception, Licensing Proceeds equal to $3.5 million (the “Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone”), and royalties shall only be computed on, and due with respect to, Licensing Proceeds in excess of the Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone and (b) the total Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amount due and payable in any calendar year shall be subject to a cap per calendar year of $30 million. “Licensing Proceeds” is defined in the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates.

We currently have not licensed any of our products to any third-party and are not in negotiations with respect to any such license. There is no guarantee that we will ever generate sales of, or Licensing Proceeds from, our products. The Holders may never receive any royalty payments and these Royalty Payment Rights may expire worthless.

Timing of Royalty Payments. With respect to products that we commercialize directly, royalty payments, if any, will be paid annually 15 business days after the issuance of our audited financial statements for the prior year in which such Net Sales were generated; for the avoidance of doubt, such payments shall begin only upon achievement of the Initial Net Sales Milestone without regard to whether the Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone has been met. With respect to products that we sublicense or otherwise dispose of to a third-party, royalty payments, if any, will be paid 10 business days after the end of the applicable quarter in which such Licensing Proceeds are received by us; for the avoidance of doubt, such payments shall begin only upon achievement of the Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone without regard to whether the Initial Net Sales Milestone has been met.

The royalty will be payable up to the later of (i) the latest expiration date of our patents issued as of December 22, 2016, or (ii) the latest expiration date of any pending patents as of December 22, 2016 that have since been issued or may be issued in the future (which is currently November 2034). Following the expiration of all such patents, the Holders of the Royalty Payment Rights will no longer be entitled to any further royalties for any period following the latest to occur of such patent expiration.

29

Allocation of Royalty Payment. Once the aggregate Royalty Payment Amount is calculated based on the criteria set forth above under “Royalties,” that amount will be allocated to the holders of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates by multiplying the aggregate Royalty Payment Amount by the percentage set forth in each Holder’s Royalty Payment Rights Certificate.

Separability. The Royalty Payment Rights Certificates may be transferred, subject to the availability of an exemption from registration under applicable state and federal securities laws.

Unsecured Obligations. The Royalty Payment Rights are unsecured obligations of ours.

Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights

In connection with completion of the 2017 Private Placement, we issued the Placement Agent royalty payment rights certificates (the “Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificates”) to receive, in the aggregate, 10% of the amount of payments paid to the holders of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates. The Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificates are on substantially similar terms as the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates.

The Ten Percent Warrants are exercisable for our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The Ten Percent Warrants have a five year term, and provide for cashless exercise.

We have additional warrants outstanding, or which are issuable by us or pursuant to contractual obligations, to purchase an aggregate of 257,917 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $8.03 per share. We have an additional warrant which is issuable by us pursuant to a contractual obligation to purchase an estimated 6,380 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment, with an estimated weighted average exercise price of $3.23 per share, subject to adjustment, expected to be issued October 2019.

If we register any of our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, such holders are entitled to include their shares in the registration. In the event we register securities in connection with an underwritten offering, the underwriters will have the right to limit the number of shares included in such offering. The holder of all of our outstanding warrants entitled to piggyback registration rights has executed a notice and waiver of piggyback registration rights, waiving any such piggyback registration rights in connection with this offering.

Lock-Up Agreements

Each of our directors and officers and the holders of substantially all of five percent (5%) or more of our common stock as of the time of the Initial Closing of the 2017 Private Placement have agreed that they will not (a) offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or (b) transfer title to any shares of our common stock acquired prior to the 2017 Private Placement, which includes any shares of our common stock acquired upon the exercise of any warrants acquired prior to the 2017 Private Placement, for a period beginning on December 22, 2016 and ending February 13, 2019, without our prior written consent and the prior written consent of the Placement Agent.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law, Certain Charter and Bylaw Provisions

Our certificate of incorporation and bylawsBylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.control. These provisions are as follows:

 

 they provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the board of directors or at the request in writing by stockholders of record owning at least twenty (20%) percent of the issued and outstanding voting shares of our common stock;
   
 they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect of limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in our board of directors; and
   
 they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our common stock.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the following prescribed manner:

 

 prior to the time of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
   
 upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding; (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; and
   
 on or subsequent to the time of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

32

Generally, for purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three (3) years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, owned fifteen percent (15%) or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities.

 

ChoiceRequirements for Advance Notification of ForumStockholder Nominations and Proposals

 

Our certificateBylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of incorporation,candidates for election as amended,directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Choice of Forum

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us, or any of our officers or Directors, arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law,DGCL, our certificateCertificate of incorporation, as amended,Incorporation or our bylaws;Bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for the disputes listed above, which may discourage such lawsuits against us, or any of our officers or directors.

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

 

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCKWe have shares of common stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.

 

The followingexistence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, the board of directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the DGCL and subject to any limitations set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a summarystockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the material United States federal income tax consequenceseffect of making it more difficult for a third-party to non-U.S. holders (as defined below)acquire, or could discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of their ownershipour outstanding voting stock.

Definition of Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, you are a non-U.S. holder if you are a beneficial ownershares of our common stock that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more “United States persons” (as defined in the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or which has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person.

Distributions to non-U.S. Holders

As describedpurchased upon such exercise (except in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends or making distributionscase of other property on oura cashless exercise as discussed below). Purchasers of the pre-funded warrants in this offering may elect to deliver their exercise notice following the pricing of the offering and prior to the issuance of the pre-funded warrants at closing to have their pre-funded warrants exercised immediately upon issuance and receive shares of common stock inunderlying the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributionspre-funded warrants upon closing of cash or property on our common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposesthis offering. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrant to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Tothat the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits,holder would own more than 4.99% of the excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce a non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in ouroutstanding common stock but not below zero, and then will be treated by a non-U.S. holder as gainimmediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the saleholder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock as described below under “Gain on Dispositions of Our Common Stock by Non-U.S. Holders.”

Subjectafter exercising the holder’s pre-funded warrants up to the discussion below on effectively connected income, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to United States withholding tax either at a rate of 30%9.99% of the gross amountnumber of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. To receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) and certify qualification for the reduced rate. If a non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, such non-U.S. holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS. If a non-U.S. holder holds our common stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on such non-U.S. holder’s behalf, appropriate documentation will need to be provided to the agent, which then will be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, that are attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. holder in the United States), are generally exempt from the 30% withholding tax if certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. To obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) properly certifying such exemption. However, such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, generally are taxed at the same United States federal income tax rates applicable to United States persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by a corporate non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. holders should consult with tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

Any documentation provided to an applicable withholding agent may need to be updated in certain circumstances. The certification requirements described above also may require a non-U.S. holder to provide a United States taxpayer identification number.

For additional withholding rules that may apply to dividends, including dividends paid to foreign financial institutions (as specifically defined by the applicable rules) or to certain other foreign entities that have substantial direct or indirect United States owners, see the discussion below under the headings “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Withholdable Payments to Foreign Financial Institutions and Other Foreign Entities.”

35

Gain on Disposition of Our Common Stock by Non-U.S. Holders

Subject to the discussion below under the headings “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Withholdable Payments to Foreign Financial Institutions and Other Foreign Entities,” a non-U.S. holder generally will not be required to pay United States federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain recognized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable dispositionshares of our common stock unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by such non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributableoutstanding immediately after giving effect to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. holder in the United States), in which case the non-U.S. holder will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale or disposition at the rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons, and an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) may also apply to a corporate non-U.S. holder;
such non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale or disposition, which gain may be offset by United States-source capital losses for the taxable year of the sale or disposition; or
our common stock constitutes a United States real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation”, or USRPHC, for United States federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such non-U.S. holder’s disposition of, or holding period for, our common stock, in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be taxed on net gain derived from the sale or disposition at the rates applicable to United States persons.

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC and the remainderexercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. Purchasers of pre-funded warrants in this discussion so assumes. However, becauseoffering may also elect prior to the determinationissuance of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market valuepre-funded warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our United States real property relative to the fair market valueoutstanding common stock. No fractional shares of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such common stock will be treated as United States real property interests only ifissued in connection with the exercise of a non-U.S.pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will round down to the next whole share.

Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder actually or constructively holds more than 5%exercises its pre-funded warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of such regularly tradedthe shares of common stock at any time duringunderlying the shorterpre-funded warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the five-year period precedingaggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such non-U.S. holder’s disposition of,exercise (either in whole or holding period for, our common stock. Non- U.S. holders should consult with tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We (orin part) the applicable paying agent) must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends on our common stock paid to non-U.S. holders and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to each non-U.S. holder. Copies of this information reporting may also be made available under the provisions of a specific income tax treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in a non-U.S. holder’s country of residence.

Non-U.S. holders will generally be subject to backup withholding (at a current rate of 24%) for dividends on our common stock paid to such non-U.S. holders unless an exemption is established such as by, for example, properly certifying non-United States status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form). Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that a holder of our common stock is a United States person.

36

Information reporting and backup withholding generally are not required with respect to the amount of any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder outside the United States through a foreign office of a foreign broker that does not have certain specified connections to the United States. However, if a non-U.S. holder sells or otherwise disposesnet number of shares of common stock throughdetermined according to a United States brokerformula set forth in the pre-funded warrants.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a pre-funded warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the pre-funded warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

17

Exchange Listing. There is no trading market available for the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the United States officespre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Right as a Stockholder.
