PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

IntroductionOur Company

 

This summary highlights selected information and does not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents we have referred you to in “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference”We are a clinical stage developmental biotechnology pharmaceutical company focused on page 48 of this prospectus for information about us and our financial statements. Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or “Cellceutix” refer to Cellceutix Corporation, a Nevada corporation.

Our Business

Cellceutix is a bio-pharmaceutical company in the business of developingdiscovering small molecule therapies. Our primary efforts are in cancer,drugs for hard to treat diseases, including drug-resistant cancers, psoriasis, autism and inflammatory and infectious disease. We have acquired exclusive rights to several drugs relating to a number of human diseases. Our anti-cancer compound, Kevetrin, is in a Phase 1 clinical trial.

In September 2013 we acquired two clinical stage compounds, Brilicidin™ and Delparantag™, and patent rights to those compounds at the US Bankruptcy Court auction for the estates of Polymedix as more fully described below. The balance of our product candidates which are in pre-clinical development include one anti-cancer agent (KM3174); one candidate targeting rheumatoid arthritis (KM277); a small molecule compound with an indication of osteo-arthritis/asthma (KM278); a small molecule compound with an indication of neurological disorders for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig Disease, and/Company has no customers, products or Parkinson’s Disease (KM362); a small molecule compound for the treatment of Psoriasis (Prurisol-KM133); and a small molecule compound for the treatment of autism (KM-391). We filed patent applications covering Kevetrin in May 2009, and Prurisol in January 2012. The US Patent and Trademark Office awarded us a patent covering Kevetrin in December 2012.

The Company's present focus is the development and clinical trials of its leading compounds Kevetrin, Prurisol and Brilicidin™.

Kevetrin

Our lead compound Kevetrin is a small molecule proprietary to the Company.  Its structure is distinct from other anti-cancer agents currently on the market.  Kevetrin is an anti-cancer drug which has demonstrated the ability in pre-clinical studies to regulate the p53 pathway and attack cancers which have proven resistant to today's cancer therapies (drug-resistant cancers). 

On June 21, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), approved the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Kevetrin. Company sponsored Phase 1 trials are being conducted at Harvard Cancer Center's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and partner Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).  The clinical trials that began in November 2012 will test Kevetrin against a variety of different solid tumor cancer types in patients with advanced-stage cancers. Primary endpoints for the study will be safety, tolerable dosing levels and establishing the dose for a future Phase II clinical trial. We have not received notice of events outside of the parameters of the protocol and the trial is progressing.

The University of Bologna in Italy, or the University, and The Italian Cooperative Study Group on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (ICSG on CML) and Acute Leukemia (GIMEMA Group) plan on testing Kevetrin against Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). We have been advised that the study, a phase 1b trial, will be titled “A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Phase 1B Study of Escalating Doses of Kevetrin (Thioureidobutyronitrile) Administered Intravenously, with Cytarabine Administered A) Subcutaneously, or B) Intravenously, in Patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML).” The trial’s principal investigator wants this phase 1b trial to begin once a higher patient dosing is achieved at the Dana Farber trial. The University shall source the funding for this trial.

Preclinical testing of Kevetrin was conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in combination with Pfizer, Inc.’s multikinase inhibitor drugs as potential new therapies for renal cancer and melanoma. The results received from BIDMC in April 2013 showed apoptosis induction (TUNEL) in renal cancer (cell line 786). We believe the results of these preclinical tests providedrevenues to date, to us are encouraging and BIDMC and Cellceutix wish to move the study further. We have provided the requested information from BIDMC that will be used to investigate a Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for a phase 2 clinical study of renal cancer upon completion of the successful phase 1 clinical study presently in progress.

9

We are presently in discussions with other institutions for collaborations in conducting clinical trials with Kevetrin on multiple cancers.

Prurisol

Prurisol is our anti-psoriasis drug candidate. It is synthesized through a multi step-step process using commercially available starting materials. Prurisol acts through immune modulation and PRINS reduction.

In June 2012 we participated in a pre IND meeting with the FDA pertaining to Prurisol. We had requested the meeting for guidance on its initiatives to seek a section 505(b)(2) designation for Prurisol, which would allow us to forgo early-stage trials and advance Prurisol into latter-stage clinical trials.  The FDA advised us that a 505(b)(2) application would be an acceptable approach for Prurisol. In September 2012, we selected Dr. Reddy's Laboratories as our vendor to manufacture and formulate Prurisol for planned clinical trials. We plan on filing a 505(b)(2) application by the end of 2013.

The Company is now planning two clinical trials for Brilacidin. The first is a phase 2b trial for Acute Bacterial Skin And Skin Structure Infections (“ABSSSI”) and the second is a phase 2 Oral Mucositis trial.

Polymedix Assets Acquisitionmay never achieve revenues or profitable operations.

 

On September 4, 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Polymedix Agreement”) whereby we purchased substantially all of the assets of Polymedix Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Polymedix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., from a Delaware corporation (together, “Seller”) fromChapter 7 trustee for the U.S. Bankruptcy Courtbankrupt estate of these entities (the “Polymedix Assets”). The bankruptcy cases were pending before the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and were being jointly administered under Case No. 13-10690 (BLS).

The aggregate purchase price for the sale and transfer of the Polymedix Assets was $2.1 million in cash, plus 1.4 million shares of our Class A Common Stock for acommon stock. The total aggregate purchase price ofwas approximately $4.8 million.

On October 23, 2014, we announced positive top-line data from our Phase 2b ABSSSI trial with our lead antibiotic compound, Brilacidin. The Class A Common Stocktrial, which began in February 2014, enrolled 215 total subjects in four treatment arms, with approximately 25% in each treatment arm. The primary endpoint was valuedclinical success in the intent-to-treat population, defined as reduction of at $1.93 per share based onleast 20% in area of ABSSSI lesion, relative to baseline, when observed 48-72 hours after the September 4,first dose of study drug, and no rescue antibiotics administered. This is consistent with the 2013 opening stock price as quoted onFood and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance for ABSSSI studies and is the OTB Bulletin Board, resultingsame endpoint used in approximately $2.7 million of Class A Common Stock being issued to acquirerecent approvals for ABSSSI drugs. All three Brilacidin treatment arms (two single-dose regimens and one three-day dose regimen) reached the Polymedix Assets. The Company is required not later than sixty (60) days fromprimary endpoint, with the date of acquisition to prepare and deliverclinical success rate for each dosing regimen statistically comparable to the Sellerclinical success rate of the FDA-approved seven-day dosing regimen of daptomycin. All Brilacidin treatment regimens were well tolerated. There were six severe adverse events (SAE) reported across the study, none of which were considered related to Brilacidin by the principal investigator. Biostatistics are being reviewed and will be made available to shareholders over the coming weeks.

Our lead cancer compound, Kevetrin, is presently in its 9th cohort in a Phase 1 clinical trial at Harvard Cancer Center's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and partner Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, testing Kevetrin against advanced solid tumors.

In June 2014, we completed a Phase 1 trial for their consentthe treatment of psoriasis with our compound, Prurisol. We are awaiting a schedule allocatingmeeting with the purchase price amongFDA to present our end of Phase 1 package and to discuss our planned Phase 2/ 3 protocol. Upon FDA acceptance of the Polymedix Assets acquiredprotocol, we can start the Phase 2/3 study.

On October 13, 2014 we announced the acceptance of our filed IND (Investigational New Drug Application) by us.the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Oral Mucositis with Brilacidin.

 

We are also requiredfurther developing Brilacidin for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer infections and other indications such as, ophthalmic and otitic infections. Also in development are novel compounds for Gram negative and fungal infections.

Brilacidin

The intravenous formulation of Polymedix’s lead product candidate, brilacidin™, is an antibiotic which has the potential to treat a variety of indications, including Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (“ABSSSI”) caused by either drug-sensitive or drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

ABSSSI

In April 2012, Polymedix completed and announced positive results from a Phase 2 clinical trial with brilacidin™.  This randomized, blinded, active-controlled, multinational Phase 2 clinical trial was conducted at multiple sites in Canada, Russia and Ukraine.  The study objectives were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of brilacidin™ as treatment for ABSSSI caused by Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).  The study objectives were met, with all evaluated doses of brilacidin™ demonstrating similar clinical response rates to those of the active control, daptomycin.  The study was conducted in accordance with FDA’s most recent ABSSSI guidelines and is intended to support regulatory approval in the United States.  As expected, and consistent with previous clinical studies, patients receiving brilacidin™ commonly reported sensations of numbness and tingling that were generally characterized as mild and resolved following treatment. No patient stopped treatment as a result of these sensations. Other treatment-related adverse events included hypertension, injection site pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and pyrexia. There was one treatment-related serious adverse event that was at least possibly drug-related reported in each brilacidin™ study arm. Treatment-related serious adverse events included an instance of hypertension in the medium and high dose regimens, which discontinued therapy, and an instance of increased platelets in the low dose regimen.

Oral Mucositis

In animal models of oral mucositis, an oral rinse containing brilacidin™ was shown to reduce the occurrence of severe ulcerative oral mucositis by more than 90% compared to placebo.  Brilacidin™ and related compounds have shown antibacterial, anti-biofilm and anti-inflammatory properties in various pre-clinical studies.  Polymedix believed that the combination of these attributes contribute to the efficacy of brilacidin in these animal models.

Delparantag

Delparantag™ (formerly PMX-60056) is a synthetic, small-molecule intended to reverse the effects of the commonly used anticoagulants unfractionated heparin (UFH), and its derivatives, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), to help manage the balance of antithrombosis and anticoagulation and reduce the incidence of bleeding in certain interventional cardiology procedures, such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and Coronary Arterial Bypass Grafting (CABG), and other situations where UFH and LMWH are used and bleeding may occur.

In May 2012, Polymedix announced that they had stopped enrollment in two clinical trials for Delparantag™: a Phase 2 clinical trial for reversing the anticoagulant activity of UFH in patients undergoing PCI procedures, and a Phase 1B/2 clinical trial for reversing the anticoagulant activity of the LMWH enoxaparin in healthy volunteers.  While Delparantag™ showed activity in neutralizing both UFH and the LMWH enoxaparin in these clinical trials, Polymedix decided to stop enrollment in both trials due to observations of reductions in blood pressure in some patients.

Other Candidates

Other product candidates acquired by us include, without limitation, compounds active against gram-negative bacteria, fungal infections, malaria, tuberculosis, biowarfare pathogens, and PolyCide® antimicrobial biomaterials.  

We are currently evaluating all these programs.  We are also in discussions with clinical research organizations to estimate the costs. We believe it is too soon in our acquisition process to develop a comprehensive plan or budget for the development costs of these newly acquired Polymedix Assets.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

We are in the business of developing and and/or acquiring innovative small molecule therapies to treat diseases with significant medical need. Our strategy is to use our business and scientific expertise to maximize the value of our diverse pipeline. We expect to develop the highest quality data and broadest intellectual property to support our compounds.

 

We currently own all development and marketing rights to our products. In order to successfully develop and market our products, we may have to partner with other companies. Prospective partners may require that we grant them significant development and/or commercialization rights in return for agreeing to share the risk of development and/or commercialization.

If the  13,789,477 shares of our Class A Common Stock offered hereby for Aspire Capital, which have not yet been issued, were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, the total offering of 15,400,000  would represent approximately 12.97% of the total Class A Common Stock outstanding (or approximately 20.19 % of the shares held by non-affiliates) as of the date hereof.

The number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 25, 2013 was 104,914,045 shares, and excludes the following:

·4,546,084 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants; and

·45,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Company 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, of which 39,142,500 has been granted.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or the warrants described above.

Aspire Capital Transaction

On October 25, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Aspire Capital”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of our shares of our Class A Common Stock over the approximately 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Aspire Capital 210,523 shares of our Class A Common Stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”). Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Aspire Capital (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in which we agreed to file one or more registration statements, including the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act, the sale of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

On October 25, 2013, there were 104,914,045 shares of our Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 62,478,447 shares were held by non-affiliates, excluding the 13,789,477 shares offered that may be issued to Aspire Capital pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective. If all of 14,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock offered hereby were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof such shares would represent approximately 11.8% of the total Class A Common Stock outstanding (or approximately 18.4% of the shares held by non-affiliates) as of the date hereof. The number of shares of our Class A Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by Aspire Capital is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. If we elect to issue more than 14,000,000 shares offered under this prospectus which we have the right but not the obligation to do, we must first register the sale by Aspire Capital of such additional shares under the Securities Act before we can sell such additional shares to Aspire Capital

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we are registering 14,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock, which includes the 210,523 Commitment Shares that have already been issued to Aspire Capital, and 13,789,477 shares of Class A Common Stock which we may issue to Aspire Capital after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective under the Securities Act. All 14,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

15

After the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, on any trading day on which the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock exceeds $0.25 (the “Floor Price”), we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”), directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock (“Purchase Shares”) per trading day, provided that the aggregate price of such purchase shall not exceed $500,000 per trading day, up to $20.0 million of our Class A Common Stock in the aggregate at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Common Stock as more specifically described under the Section entitled “Selling Stockholders -The Aspire Capital Transaction” herein.

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice for at least 100,000 Purchase Shares to Aspire Capital and the closing sale price of our stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company’s Common Stock traded on The OTC Bulletin Board on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares we may determine (the “VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum”) and a minimum trading price (the “VWAP Minimum Price Threshold”) (as more specifically described under “The Aspire Capital Transaction” herein). The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) is calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock as more specifically described under the Section entitled “Selling Stockholders -The Aspire Capital Transaction” herein.

The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not effect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is less than the Floor Price. This Floor Price and the respective prices and share numbers in the preceding paragraphs shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our Class A Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future funding, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

An “Event of Default” shall mean any of the following: (i) if the Class A Common Stock ceases to be eligible for trading on the Company’s current principal market and is not immediately thereafter trading on the NYSE, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, or OTCQB or OTCQX market places of the OTC Markets; (ii) suspension of the Class A Common Stock from trading on our principal market for three (3) consecutive trading days; (iii) if for any reason the registration statement generally is not available for the sale of the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares for ten (10) consecutive trading days or for a total of thirty (30) trading days out of the preceding 365 days; (iv) any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in any related agreements with Aspire Capital which has or which could have a material adverse effect on the Company subject to reasonable cure; or (v) the Company’s insolvency or the Company’s participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company.

At any time an Event of Default exists, Aspire Capital shall have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement.

Polymedix Transaction

On September 10, 2013 we issued 1,400,000shares of Class A Common Stock to Jeoffrey L. Burtch, an individual, as Chapter 7 Trustee (the Trustee) for the estates of PolyMedix, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary PolyMedix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Polymedix), for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Polymedix (the Polymedix Assets)technology licensed from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the asset purchase agreement we executed with Polymedix on September 4, 2013 (the Polymedix Agreement).  The bankruptcy cases were pending before the Bankruptcy Court for the DistrictUniversity of Delaware and were being jointly administered under Case No. 13-10690 (BLS).

RISK FACTORS

 

InvestingAn investment in our Class A Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully considersecurities which may be offered hereby is subject to numerous risks, including the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, before purchasing shares of our Class A Common Stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks described below are not the only ones we will face. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline and investors in our Class A Common Stock could lose all or part of their investment.    

Risks Specific to Us

We need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations and we may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms, which could prevent us from fully implementing our business, operating and development plans.

We currently have an approximate $6 million cash balance in the bank but that is insufficient to complete the development and commercialization of any of our proposed products. We expect to incur costs of approximately $13,600,000 in the upcoming twelve (12) months to operate our business in accordance with our business plans and budgets as is more detailed below:

·Research and Development- $1,400,000 in preclinical development costs including testing Kevetrin on additional tumors, and costs to manufacture Prurisol;

·Clinical trials - $9,850,000.  We have budgeted $1,350,000 for our Phase 1 Kevetrin trials; $2,500,000 for the planned Prurisol phase 2/3 trials; $3,000,000 for the planned Brilacidin ABSSSI Phase 2b trials; and $3,000,000 for the planned Brilacidin Oral Mucositis Phase 2 trials;

·Corporate overhead of $2,250,000: Budgeted office salaries, legal, accounting and other costs expected to be incurred;

·Capital costs of $100,000: Estimated cost for equipment and laboratory improvements; and

·Polymedix - This budget may change significantly due to the recent acquisition of Polymedix Assets and we have not determined a budget for certain of these assets most significantly Delparantag.

On October 25, 2013 we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 million of our shares of Class A Common Stock over the approximately 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. The extent to which we utilize the Purchase Agreement as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock, the volume of trading in our Class A Common Stock and the extent to which we are able to secure funds from other sources. The number of shares that we may sell to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement on any given day and during the term of the Purchase Agreement is limited. See the Section entitled “Selling Stockholders - The Aspire Transaction” of this prospectus for additional information. Additionally, we and Aspire Capital may not affect any sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement during the continuance of an event of default or on any trading day that the closing price of our stock falls below $0.25 per share. Even if we are able to access the full $20,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, we will still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans.

18

Previously on December 6, 2012, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital pursuant to which Aspire Capital committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10 million of our shares of Class A Common Stock over three years.  On October 23, 2013, Aspire Capital completed its purchase of the full $10 million available under that agreement.  However,there is no guarantee that we will be able to access the full $20 million available under the new Purchase Agreement in the same manner given the limitations and conditions described above.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, which are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue our operations.

We may be unable to secure this amount of financing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company. In the event that we cannot obtain acceptable financing, we would be unable to complete preclinical development projects, a regulatory filing for Prurisol, and our Phase 1 trial for our anti-cancer drug Kevetrin. This will delay:  

• research and development programs; 

• preclinical studies and clinical trials; material characterization studies, regulatory processes;  

• establishment of our own laboratory or a search for third party marketing partners to market our products for us. 

The amount of capital we may require will depend on many factors, including the:  

• progress, timing and scope of our research and development programs; 

• progress, timing and scope of our preclinical studies and clinical trials; 

• time and cost necessary to obtain regulatory approvals; 

• time and cost necessary to establish our own marketing capabilities or to seek marketing partners;  

• time and cost necessary to respond to technological and market developments; 

• changes made or new developments in our existing collaborative, licensing and 

• other commercial relationships; and 

• new collaborative, licensing and other commercial relationships that we may establish. 

19

Our fixed expenses, such as rent and other contractual commitments, may increase in the future, as we may:  

• enter into leases for new facilities and capital equipment; 

• enter into additional licenses and collaborative agreements; and 

• incur additional expenses associated with being a public company. 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses and maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ and customers’ views of us.

As previously disclosedcaption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, filed2014, which is incorporated by reference herein. You should carefully consider these risks, along with the SEC on September 30, 2013,information provided elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents we identified a material weaknessincorporate by reference in this prospectus before investing in our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with our fiscal 2013 audit, we concluded that we did not have sufficient personnel in place for an adequate amount of time or effective operating internal control procedures to ensure timely and accurate reviews necessary to provide reasonable assurance that financial statements and related disclosures could be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Although we have added personnel to help with internal controls and procedures, we concluded that we had not yet fully remediated the weakness previously identified. For a discussion of the material weakness and our remediation efforts during 2013 as well as ongoing remediation efforts, see Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We cannot assure you that our efforts to fully remediate these internal control weaknesses will be successful or that similar material weaknesses will not recur.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm includes a going concern opinion, and we may not be profitable in the future, if ever. 

As of October 25, 2013, we had approximately $6 million of cash available to support operations or our business plan.  Our operating cash needs, cash consumption, and doubt as to whether we will ever become profitable, are factors which raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Consequently, our independent registered public accounting firm has included a going concern paragraph in its audit report which is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. It is uncertain at this time how the going concern language by our independent registered public accounting firm will affect our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to achieve revenues or obtain financing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, then we may not be able to commence revenue-generating operations or continue as an on-going concern. 

The sale of our Class A Common Stock to Aspire Capital may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by Aspire Capital could cause the price of our Class A Common Stock to decline, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We are registering for sale the Commitment Shares that we have issued to Aspire Capital, and an additional 13,789,477 shares of Class A Common stock that we may sell to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to approximately 36 months from the date of this prospectus. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Aspire Capital under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement may cause the trading price of our Class A Common Stock to decline.

If we experience any of the foregoing, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business and could force us to cease operations which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

We are a development stage company and have no products approved for commercial sale, have never generated any revenues, and may never achieve revenues or profitability.

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company. Currently, we have no products approved for commercial sale and, to date, we have not generated any revenues. Our ability to generate revenue depends heavily on:   

21
·successful demonstration in clinical trials that our drug candidates, Kevetrin, Prurisol, and Brilacidin are safe and effective;
·our ability to seek and obtain regulatory approvals, including with respect to the indications we are seeking;
·the successful commercialization of our product candidates; and
·market acceptance of our products.

If we do not successfully develop and commercialize at least one of our compounds, we will not achieve revenues or profitability in the foreseeable future, if at all. If we are unable to generate revenues or achieve profitability, we may be unable to continue our operations. 

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history, making it difficult for you to evaluate our business and your investment, and we may never generate any revenue which could cause us to cease operations.

We are in the development stage and our operations and the development of our proposed products are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including but not limited to: 

·the absence of an operating history;

Even if we successfully develop and market our drug candidates, we may not generate sufficient or sustainable revenue to achieve or sustain profitability, which could cause us to cease operations.part of, this prospectus.

 

We have limited experience in drug development and may not be able to successfully develop any drugs. 

We have limited experience in drug development and may not be able to successfully develop any drugs. Our ability to achieve revenues and profitability in our business will depend, among other things, on our ability to:  

develop products internally or obtain rights to them from others on favorable terms; 

complete laboratory testing and human studies; 

obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property rights to our products; 

successfully complete regulatory review to obtain requisite governmental agency approvals 

enter into arrangements with third parties to manufacture our products on our behalf; and 

enter into arrangements with third parties to provide sales and marketing functions. 

If we are unable to achieve revenues and profitability, then we will be forced to cease operations which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

Development of pharmaceutical products is a time-consuming process, subject to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Consequently, we can provide no assurance of the successful and timely development of new drugs, and the failure to do so could cause us to cease operations.

Our drug candidates are in early developmental and clinical stages. Further development and extensive testing will be required to determine their technical feasibility and commercial viability. Our success will depend on our ability to achieve scientific and technological advances and to translate such advances into reliable, commercially competitive drugs on a timely basis. Drugs that we may develop are not likely to be commercially available for several years, if ever. The proposed development schedules for our drug candidates may be affected by a variety of factors, including technological difficulties, proprietary technology of others, and changes in government regulation, many of which will not be within our control. Any delay in the development, introduction or marketing of our drug candidates could result either in such drugs being marketed at a time when their cost and performance characteristics would not be competitive in the marketplace or in the shortening of their commercial lives. In light of the long-term nature of our projects, the unproven technology involved and the other factors described elsewhere in “Risk Factors”, we may not be able to complete successfully the development or marketing of any of our drug candidates. 

We may fail to successfully develop and commercialize our drug candidates because they:   

are found to be unsafe or ineffective in clinical trials; 

do not receive necessary approval from the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies; 

fail to conform to a changing standard of care for the diseases they seek to treat; or 

are less effective or more expensive than current or alternative treatment methods.   

23

Drug development failure can occur at any stage of clinical trials and as a result of many factors and there can be no assurance that we will reach our anticipated clinical targets. Even if we complete our clinical trials, we do not know what the long-term effects of exposure to our drug candidates will be. Furthermore, our drug candidates may be used in combination with other treatments and there can be no assurance that such use will not lead to unique safety issues. Failure to complete clinical trials or to prove that our drug candidates are safe and effective would have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue and could require us to reduce the scope of or discontinue our operations, which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

We must comply with significant and complex government regulations, compliance with which may delay or prevent the commercialization of our drug candidates which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

The R&D, manufacture and marketing of drug candidates are subject to regulation, primarily by the FDA in the United States, and by comparable authorities in other countries. These national agencies and other federal, state, local and foreign entities regulate, among other things, R&D activities (including testing in animals and in humans) and the testing, manufacturing, handling, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of the products that we are developing. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in various adverse consequences, including approval delays or refusals to approve drug licenses or other applications, suspension or termination of clinical investigations, revocation of approvals previously granted, fines, criminal prosecution, recalls or seizures of products, injunctions against shipping drugs and total or partial suspension of production and/or refusal to allow a company to enter into governmental supply contracts. 

The process of obtaining FDA approval for a drug has historically been costly and time consuming. Current FDA requirements for a new human drug or biological product to be marketed in the United States include: (i) the successful conclusion of pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests, if appropriate, to gain preliminary information on the product's safety; (ii) filing with the FDA of an IND application to conduct human clinical trials for drugs or biologics; (iii) the successful completion of adequate and well-controlled human clinical investigations to establish the safety and efficacy of the product for its recommended use; and (iv) filing by a company and acceptance and approval by the FDA of a New Drug Application (“NDA”), for a drug product or a biological license application (“BLA”), for a biological product to allow commercial distribution of the drug or biologic. A delay in one or more of the procedural steps outlined above could be harmful to the Company in terms of getting our drug candidates through clinical testing and to market. 

The FDA reviews the results of the clinical trials and may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of clinical trials at any time if it believes the drug candidate exposes clinical subjects to an unacceptable health risk. Investigational drugs used in clinical studies must be produced in compliance with current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) rules pursuant to FDA regulations. 

Sales outside the United States of products that we develop will also be subject to additional regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing for drugs and biological products and devices. The requirements vary widely from country to country, but typically the registration and approval process takes several years and requires significant resources.   

We also are subject to the following risks and obligations, related to the approval of our products:   

The FDA or foreign regulators may interpret data from pre-clinical testing and clinical trials in different ways than we interpret them. 

24
If regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be limited to specific indications or limited with respect to its distribution. In addition, many foreign countries control pricing and coverage under their respective national social security systems. 

The FDA or foreign regulators may not approve our manufacturing processes or manufacturing facilities.  

The FDA or foreign regulators may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations. 

Even if regulatory approval for any of our product is obtained, the corresponding marketing license will be subject to continual review, and newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness data may result in suspension or revocation of the marketing license.  

If regulatory approval of the product candidate is granted, the marketing of that product would be subject to adverse event reporting requirements and a general prohibition against promoting products for unapproved uses. 

In some foreign countries, we may be subject to official release requirements that require each batch of the product we produce to be officially released by regulatory authorities prior to its distribution by us. 

We will be subject to continual regulatory review and periodic inspection and approval of manufacturing modifications, including compliance with cGMP regulations. 

If we do not have the requisite resources to comply with all applicable regulations, then we could be forced to cease operations which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

Even if we were to successfully develop approvable drugs, we will not be able to sell these drugs if we or our third party manufacturers fail to comply with manufacturing regulations

If we were to successfully develop approvable drugs, before we can begin selling these drugs, we must obtain regulatory approval of our cGMP manufacturing facility and process or the cGMP manufacturing facility and process of the third party or parties with whom we may outsource our manufacturing activities. The cGMP regulations govern quality control and documentation policies and procedures. Our manufacturing facilities, if any in the future, and the manufacturing facilities of our third party manufacturers will be continually subject to inspection by the FDA and other state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, before and after product approval. We cannot guarantee that we, or any potential third party manufacturer of our products, will be able to comply with the cGMP regulations or other applicable manufacturing regulations, and any failure to comply could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We can provide no assurance that our drug candidates will obtain regulatory approval or that the results of clinical studies will be favorable, and if we fail to obtain such approval or if clinical studies are not favorable, we could be forced to cease operations.

Presently, we are in a Phase 1 clinical trial for Kevetrin, our anti-cancer drug. The work-plan we have developed for the next twelve (12) months should enable us to advance Kevetrin’s Phase 1 trial and commence Phase 2 clinical trials for Prurisol’s (anti-psoriasis), Brilacidin (ABSSSI), and Brilacidin (oral mucositis).

25

The testing, marketing and manufacturing of any product for use in the United States will require approval from the FDA. We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time necessary to obtain such FDA approval and whether any such approval will ultimately be granted. Preclinical and clinical trials may reveal that one or more products are ineffective or unsafe, in which event further development of such products could be seriously delayed or terminated. Moreover, obtaining approval for certain products may require testing on human subjects of substances whose effects on humans are not fully understood or documented. Delays in obtaining FDA or any other necessary regulatory approvals of any proposed drugs, and failure to receive such approvals, would have an adverse effect on the drug's potential commercial success and on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that a proposed drug may be found to be ineffective or unsafe due to conditions or facts that arise after development has been completed and regulatory approvals have been obtained. In this event, we may be required to withdraw such proposed drug from the market. To the extent that our success will depend on any regulatory approvals from government authorities outside of the United States that perform roles similar to that of the FDA, uncertainties similar to those stated above will also exist.

Even if our product candidate Prurisol receives regulatory approval, commercialization may be adversely affected by regulatory actions requiring a boxed warning, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Even if we receive regulatory approval for our psoriasis product candidate Prurisol, we expect an approval to include a boxed warning regarding possible severe health risks and side effects.  Products with boxed warnings are subject to more restrictive regulations than products without such warnings. Boxed restrictions would make it more difficult to market Prurisol, and the added regulation could require us to expend resources that we may not have which could delay or prevent commercialization of that product which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals, our marketed drug candidates will be subject to ongoing regulatory review. If we fail to comply with continuing U.S. and foreign regulations, we could lose our approvals to market these drugs and our business would be seriously harmed.   

Following any initial regulatory approval of any drugs we may develop, we will also be subject to continuing regulatory review, including the review of adverse experiences and clinical results that are reported after our drug candidates are made commercially available. This would include results from any post-marketing tests or vigilance required as a condition of approval. The manufacturer and manufacturing facilities we contract with to make any of our drug candidates will also be subject to periodic review and inspection by the FDA. The discovery of any previously unknown problems with the drug, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the drug or manufacturer or facility, including withdrawal of the drug from the market. We do not have, and currently do not intend to develop, the ability to manufacture material for our clinical trials or on a commercial scale. Reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured drugs ourselves, including reliance on the third-party manufacturer for regulatory compliance. Our drug promotion and advertising is also subject to regulatory requirements and continuing FDA review. If we are required to withdraw all or more of our drugs from the market as a result of actions or inactions on the part of the Company or a third party, we may be unable to continue revenue generating operations which could cause you to lose all of your investment.

26

We have no experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials and must outsource all clinical trials, which expose us to risks which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We have no experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials that must be performed to obtain data to submit in concert with applications for approval by the FDA. The regulatory process to obtain approval for drugs for commercial sale involves numerous steps. Drugs are subjected to clinical trials that allow development of case studies to examine safety, efficacy, and other issues to ensure that sale of drugs meets the requirements set forth by various governmental agencies, including the FDA. In the event that our protocols do not meet standards set forth by the FDA, or that our data is not sufficient to allow such trials to validate our drugs in the face of such examination, we might not be able to meet the requirements that allow our drugs to be approved for sale, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Because we have no experience in conducting or supervising clinical trials, we must outsource our clinical trials to third parties. We have no control over their compliance with procedures and protocols used to complete clinical trials in accordance with standards required by the agencies that approve drugs for sale. If these subcontractors fail to meet these standards, the validation of our drugs would be adversely affected, causing a delay in our ability to engage in revenue-generating operations which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to risks inherent in conducting clinical trials. The risk of non compliance with FDA-approved good clinical practices by clinical investigators, clinical sites, or data management services could delay or prevent us from developing or ever commercializing our drug candidates, which could cause us to cease operations.

Agreements with clinical investigators and medical institutions for clinical testing and with other third parties for data management services place substantial responsibilities on these parties, which could result in delays in, or termination of, our clinical trials if these parties fail to perform as expected. For example, if any of our clinical trial sites fail to comply with FDA-approved good clinical practices, we may be unable to use the data gathered at those sites. If these clinical investigators, medical institutions or other third parties do not carry out their contractual duties or obligations or fail to meet expected deadlines, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or for other reasons, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our drug candidates. 

We or regulators may suspend or terminate our clinical trials for a number of reasons. We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials if at any time we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to the patients enrolled in our clinical trials. In addition, regulatory agencies may order the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials at any time if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to the patients enrolled in our clinical trials.  In addition, clinical trials may have independent monitoring boards composed of experts in the field.  These boards may also have the authority to suspend or terminate clinical trials. 

Our clinical trial operations will be subject to regulatory inspections at any time. If regulatory inspectors conclude that we or our clinical trial sites are not in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements for conducting clinical trials, we may receive reports of observations or warning letters detailing deficiencies, and we will be required to implement corrective actions. If regulatory agencies deem our responses to be inadequate, or are dissatisfied with the corrective actions that we or our clinical trial sites have implemented, our clinical trials may be temporarily or permanently discontinued, we may be fined, we or our investigators may be precluded from conducting any ongoing or any future clinical trials, the government may refuse to approve our marketing applications or allow us to manufacture or market our drug candidates or we may be criminally prosecuted. If we are unable to complete clinical trials and have our products approved due to our failure to comply with regulatory requirements, we will be unable to commence revenue generating operations which could force us to cease operations.

27

The Company is exposed to product liability, clinical and preclinical liability risks which could place a substantial financial burden upon the Company should it be sued. 

The Company could be exposed to potential product liability and other liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products. In addition, the use in the Company's clinical trials of pharmaceutical products that it may develop and the subsequent sale of these products by the Company or its potential collaborators may cause the Company to bear a portion of or all product liability risks. A successful liability claim or series of claims brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.   

The Company has $5,000,000 in liability insurance for the Kevetrin clinical trials. The Company cannot assure that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against the Company's potential liabilities.  Claims or losses in excessto each person, including any beneficial owner, to whom a prospectus is delivered, a copy of any product liability insurance coverage that may be obtained by the Company could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information. Disclosure of our trade secrets or proprietary information could compromise any competitive advantage that we have, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We depend upon confidentiality agreements with our officers, employees, consultants, and subcontractors to maintain the proprietary nature of the technology. These measures may not afford us sufficient or complete protection, and may not afford an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently develop technology similar to ours, otherwise avoiding the confidentiality agreements, or produce patents that would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.   

We may be unable to obtain or protect intellectual property rights relating to our products, and we may be liable for infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our compounds and the proprietary compounds of others with which we have entered into licensing agreements. We have filed two patent applications and expect to file a number of additional patent applications in the coming years.  There can be no assurance that any of these patent applications will ultimately result in the issuance of a patent with respect to the proprietary compounds owned by us or licensed to us. The patent position of pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, including ours, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards that the United States Patent and Trademark Office use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in pharmaceutical or biotechnology patents. Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth of claims that will be allowed in any patents issued to us or to others. Further, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, know-how, technology and nondisclosure, and other contractual agreements and technical measures to protect our rights in the proprietary compounds. If any trade secret, know-how or other proprietary information and/or compounds not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.   

28

We do not believe that any of the drug candidates we are currently developing infringe upon the rights of any third parties nor are they infringed upon by third parties; however, there can be no assurance that our proprietary compounds will not be found in the future to infringe upon the rights of others or be infringed upon by others. In such a case, others may assert infringement claims against us, and should we be found to infringe upon their patents, or otherwise impermissibly utilize their intellectual property, we might be forced to pay damages, potentially including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed on such parties' patent rights. In addition to any damages we might have to pay, we may be required to obtain licenses from the holders of this intellectual property, enter into royalty agreements, or redesign our drug candidates so as not to utilize this intellectual property, each of which may prove to be uneconomical or otherwise impossible. Conversely, we may not always be able to successfully pursue our claims against others that infringe upon our proprietary compounds.    Thus, the proprietary nature of our technology or technology licensed by us may not provide adequate protection against competitors. 

Moreover, the cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to our patents and other intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, and the litigation would divert our management's efforts. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue our operations.

Our potential collaborative relationships with third parties could cause us to expend significant resources and incur substantial business risk with no assurance of financial return, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business. 

We may have to rely substantially upon strategic collaborations for marketing and the commercialization of our drug candidates, and we may rely even more on strategic collaborations for R&D of our other drug candidates. Our business will depend on our ability to sell drugs to both government agencies and to the general pharmaceutical market. We may have to sell our drugs through strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. If we are unable to establish or manage such strategic collaborations on terms favorable to us in the future, our revenue and drug development may be limited. To date, we have not entered into any strategic collaboration with third parties capable of providing these services. In addition, we have not yet marketed or sold any of our drug candidates or entered into successful collaborations for these services in order to ultimately commercialize our drug candidates. 

If we determine to enter into R&D collaborations during the early phases of drug development, our success will in part depend on the performance of our research collaborators. We will not directly control the amount or timing of resources devoted by our research collaborators to activities related to our drug candidates. Our research collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our programs. If any research collaborator fails to commit sufficient resources, our preclinical or clinical development programs related to this collaboration could be delayed or terminated. Also, our collaborators may pursue existing or other development-stage products or alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us. Finally, if we fail to make required milestone or royalty payments to our collaborators, or to observe other obligations in our agreements with them, our collaborators may have the right to terminate those agreements. 

Management of our relationships with our collaborators will require:  

significant time and effort from our management team; 

coordination of our marketing and R&D programs with the marketing and R&D priorities of our collaborators; and 

effective allocation of our resources to multiple projects. 

29

Establishing strategic collaborations is difficult and time-consuming. Our discussion with potential collaborators may not lead to the establishment of collaborations on favorable terms, if at all. Potential collaborators may reject collaborations based upon their assessment of our financial, regulatory or intellectual property position. Even if we successfully establish new collaborations, these relationships may never result in the successful development or commercialization of our drug candidates or the generation of sales revenue. To the extent that we enter into collaborative arrangements, our drug revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold any drugs that we may develop. 

We may not be able to attract and retain highly skilled personnel or consultants, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business. 

Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel or consultants is critical to our operations and expansion. We face competition for these types of personnel from other pharmaceutical companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel or consultants on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel or consultants, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.  

We depend upon our senior management and their loss or unavailability could put us at a competitive disadvantage. 

We currently depend upon the efforts and abilities of our management team. On December 29, 2010, the Company entered into employment agreements with its two executive officers, Leo Ehrlich, the Company’s Chief Executive and Financial Officer, and Krishna Menon, Chief Scientific Officer. Both agreements provide for a three year term with each executive receiving an annual base salary for $350,000 per year commencing January 1, 2011, with an annual increase of 10% for each year commencing January 2012. In addition, the Company’s Board awarded stock options exercisable at $0.11 per share pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan to each executive officer as follows:   Option Group A, a total of 18 million options with 6 million options vesting on December 29, 2010, 6 million options vesting on June 30, 2011 and 6 million options vesting on January 3, 2012.    The Board, at its discretion, may increase the base salary based upon relevant circumstances. The loss or unavailability of the services of any of these individuals for any significant period of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations as we believe such persons are critical to the success of the Company. We also have not obtained, do not own, nor are we the beneficiary of key-person life insurance.   

There are conflicts of interest among our officers, directors and stockholders. 

Certain of our executive officers and directors and their affiliates are engaged in other activities and have interests in other entities on their own behalf or on behalf of other persons. Neither we nor any of our stockholders will have any rights in these ventures or their income or profits. In particular:  

Our executive officers or directors or their affiliates may have an economic interest in, or other business relationship with, partner companies that invest in us or are engaged in competing drug development; and

Previously, Kard Scientific, a company controlled by Dr. Krishna Menon, President and Director, provided preclinical and manufacturing services to the Company and leased space to the Company. 

30

In either of these cases:   

Our executive officers or directors may have a conflict between our current interests and their personal financial and other interests in another business venture; and

Our executive officers or directors may have conflicting fiduciary duties to us and the other entity. 

While the Company is not aware of any conflict that has arisen to date, the Company does not have any policy in place to deal with such should such a conflict arise, which

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. We may be unable to compete with enterprises equipped with more substantial resources than us, which could cause us to cease operations.

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition based primarily on scientific and technological factors. These factors include the availability of patent and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize technological developments and the ability to obtain government approval for testing, manufacturing and marketing.   

We compete with biopharmaceutical firms in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, as well as a growing number of large pharmaceutical companies that are applying biotechnology to their operations. Many biopharmaceutical companies have focused their development efforts in the human therapeutics area, including cancer. Many major pharmaceutical companies have developed or acquired internal biotechnology capabilities or made commercial arrangements with other biopharmaceutical companies. These companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies and private research organizations, also compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants. Our ability to compete successfully with other companies in the pharmaceutical field will also depend to a considerable degree on the continuing availability of capital on terms and conditions acceptable to us. 

We are aware of numerous products under development or manufactured by competitors that are used for the prevention or treatment of certain diseases we have targeted for drug development. Various companies are developing biopharmaceutical products that potentially directly compete with our drug candidates even though their approach to such treatment is different.   

For example, with respect to Kevetrin, our lead compound for cancer, there are many drugs approved to treat various cancers and many more in the publicly disclosed pipeline.  Our success depends on our ability to identify tumor types where Kevetrin has an advantage over existing therapies and those in the publicly disclosed pipeline. 

Our competition will be determined in part by the potential indications for which drugs are developed and ultimately approved by regulatory authorities. Additionally, the timing of the market introduction of some of our potential drugs or of competitors' products may be an important competitive factor. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can develop drugs, complete pre-clinical testing, clinical trials, approval processes and supply commercial quantities to market are important competitive factors. We expect that competition among drugs approved for sale will be based on various factors, including product efficacy, safety, reliability, availability, price and patent protection.

The successful development of biopharmaceuticals is highly uncertain. A variety of factors including, pre-clinical study results or regulatory approvals, could cause us to abandon development of our drug candidates, which could also cause us to cease operations and you may lose your entire investment.

Successful development of biopharmaceuticals is highly uncertain and is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Products that appear promising in the early phases of development may fail to reach the market for several reasons including:  

pre-clinical study results that may show the product to be less effective than desired (e.g., the study failed to meet its primary objectives) or to have harmful or problematic side effects;   

failure to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or a delay in receiving such approvals. Among other things, such delays may be caused by slow enrollment in clinical studies, length of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements for data analysis or a IND and later NDA, preparation, discussions with the FDA, an FDA request for additional pre-clinical or clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues; 

manufacturing costs, pricing or reimbursement issues, or other factors that make the product not economical; and 

the proprietary rights of others and their competing products and technologies that may prevent the product from being commercialized. 

Success in pre-clinical and early clinical studies does not ensure that large-scale clinical studies will be successful. Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals. The length of time necessary to complete clinical studies and to submit an application for marketing approval for a final decision by a regulatory authority varies significantly from one product to the next, and may be difficult to predict or control.

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Investments in Our Class A Common Stock  

Because our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited. 

Our Class A Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, the liquidity of our Class A Common Stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our Company. As a result, prices for shares of our Class A Common Stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our Class A Common Stock was quoted and traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange. 

Because our Class A Common Stock is considered "penny stock" you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market. 

Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) regulate the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Since our Class A Common Stock currently is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at less than $5.00 per share, our shares are "penny stocks" and may not be traded unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to any trade. 

32

In addition, because our Class A Common Stock is not listed on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange and currently is quoted at and trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our Class A Common Stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a "penny stock," which steps include:   

obtaining financial and investment information from the investor; 

obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and 

providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares. 

If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our Class A Common Stock and our stockholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market. 

Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our Class A Common Stock could suffer a decline in value.   

As of October 24, 2013, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock, as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $1.80.  The price may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:    

progress of our products through the regulatory process; 

results of preclinical studies and clinical trials;

announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; 

government regulatory action affecting our products or our competitors' products in both the United States and foreign countries; 

developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights; 

general market conditions for emerging growth and pharmaceutical companies; 

economic conditions in the United States or abroad; 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; 

broad market fluctuations; and 

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts. 

33

Our directors and executive officers own or control a sufficient number of shares of our Class A Common Stock to control our Company, which could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.   

At October 25, 2013, our directors and executive officers own or control approximately 40% of our outstanding voting power of Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, these stockholders, individually and as a group, may be able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes, involving votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws and the approval of certain mergers or other similar transactions, such as sales of substantially all of our assets. Such control by existing stockholders could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.

The dual class structure of our common stock can have the effect of concentrating voting control with Dr. Menon and/ or Mr. Ehrlich, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.

Our Class B common stock entitles holders to ten (10) votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders and our Class A Common Stock entitles holders to one (1) vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Dr. Menon and Mr. Ehrlich each have vested options that they can exercise and convert into 18,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.  That alone could result in the equivalent of 360,000,000 votes of Class A Common Stock.  As of October 25, 2013 we had 104,914,045 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Class B common stock outstanding.  Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B common stock and Class A Common Stock, upon exercise and conversion of such options into shares of Class B common stock, the Class B common stock holders can collectively control a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock (i.e., approximately 77.4%) and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. This concentrated control will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our Class A Common Stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the Class A Common Stock. 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements, which we may enter into with institutional lenders, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our Class A Common Stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the Class A Common Stock. 

We may issue additional equity shares to fund the Company's operational requirements which would dilute your share ownership. 

The Company's continued viability depends on its ability to raise capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in the best interest of the Company to develop new services or products. In any such case additional financing is required for the Company to meet its operational requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company and at times required by the Company, if at all. In such event, the Company may be required to materially alter its business plan or curtail all or a part of its operational plans.

In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six-month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of the Company and who has satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of the Company's Class A Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Class A Common Stock.Cellceutix Corporation

The Aspire Capital Transaction

General

On October 25, 2013, we entered into the Purchase Agreement which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of our shares of Class A Common Stock over the term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Aspire Capital the Commitment Shares. Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, in which we agreed to file one or more registration statements (including the registration of which this prospectus is a part) as permissible and necessary to register under the Securities Act, the sale of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

As of October 25, 2013, there were 104,914,045 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding, of which 62,480,447shares were held by non-affiliates , excluding the 13,789,477 shares offered that may be issued to Aspire Capital pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective. If all 14,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by Aspire Capital hereby were issued and outstanding, such shares would represent approximately 11.8% of the total Class A Common Stock outstanding (or approximately 18.4% of the shares held by non-affiliates) as of the date hereof. The number of shares of our Class A Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by Aspire Capital is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we are registering 14,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Securities Act, which includes the Commitment Shares that have already been issued to Aspire Capital and 13,789,477 shares of Class A Common Stock which we may issue to Aspire Capital after this registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. All 14,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are being offered pursuant to this prospectus. Under the Purchase Agreement, we have the right but not the obligation to issue more than the 14,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock includeddescribed in this prospectus to Aspire Capital. If we elect to issue more than 14,000,000 shares offered under this prospectus, we must first register the sale by Aspire Capital of such additional shares under the Securities Act before we can sell such additional shares to Aspire Capital. As of the date hereof, we do not have any planson a continuous or intent to issue to Aspire Capital any shares of Class A Common Stock in addition to the 14,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby.

After the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, on any trading day on which the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is not less than $0.25 per share (the “Floor Price”), we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a Purchase Notice, directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock (“Purchase Shares”) per business day, up to $20.0 million of our Class A Common Stock in the aggregate at a Purchase Price calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock over the preceding 12-business day period (as more specifically described below); however, no sale pursuant to a Purchase Notice may exceed $500,000 per trading day.

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital for at least 100,000 Purchase Shares and the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is not less than $0.50 per share, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a VWAP Purchase Notice directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock traded on The OTC Bulletin Board on the next trading day, subject to the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum and the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold. The VWAP Purchase Price is calculated by reference to the prevailing market price of our Class A Common Stock (as more specifically described below).

37

The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not effect any sales under the Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is less than the Floor Price. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our Class A Common Stock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

Purchase Of Shares Under The Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreement

Under the Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by us on which the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock exceeds $0.25 per share, we may direct Aspire Capital to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock per trading day. The Purchase Price of such shares is equal to the lesser of:

·the lowest sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the purchase date; or

·the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our Class A Common Stock during the twelve consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital for purchase of at least 100,000 Purchase Shares and the closing sale price of our stock is equal to or greater than $0.50 per share, we also have the right to direct Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of the our Class A Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board on the next trading day, subject to the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum and the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold, which is equal to the greater of (a) 90% of the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (b) such higher price as set forth by the Company in the VWAP Purchase Notice. The VWAP Purchase Price of such shares is the lower of:

·the Closing Sale Price on the VWAP Purchase Date; or 95% of the volume-weighted average price for our Class A Common Stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board; and

·on the VWAP Purchase Date, if the aggregate shares to be purchased on that date have not exceeded the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum or during that portion of the VWAP Purchase Date until such time as the sooner to occur of (i) the time at which the aggregate shares traded on the OTC Bulletin Board exceed the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum or (ii) the time at which the sale price of our Class A Common Stock falls below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold.

The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading day(s) used to compute the purchase price. We may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

38

Minimum Share Price

Under the Purchase Agreement, we and Aspire Capital may not effect any sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement on any trading day that the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock is less than $0.25 per share.

Events of Default

Generally, Aspire Capital may terminate the Purchase Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

· the effectiveness of any registration statement that is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement between us and Aspire Capital lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to Aspire Capital for sale of our shares of Class A Common Stock, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of thirty business days in any 365-day period, which is not in connection with a post-effective amendment to any such registration statement; in connection with any post-effective amendment to such registration statement that is required to be declared effective by the SEC such lapse or unavailability may continue for a period of no more than 40 consecutive business days;

·the suspension from trading or failure of our Class A Common Stock to be listed on our principal market for a period of three consecutive business days;

·the delisting of our Class A Common Stock from our principal market, provided our Class A Common Stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the NYSE MKT, or the OTCQB or OTCQX market places of the OTC Markets;

·our transfer agent’s failure to issue to Aspire Capital shares of our Class A Common Stock which Aspire Capital is entitled to receive under the Purchase Agreement within five business days after an applicable purchase date;

·any breach by us of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or any related agreements which could have a material adverse effect on us, subject to a cure period of five business days;

if we become insolvent or are generally unable to pay our debts as they become due; or

·any participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us.

Our Termination Rights

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

No Short-Selling or Hedging by Aspire Capital

Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our Class A Common Stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

39

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders.

The Purchase Agreement does not limit the ability of Aspire Capital to sell any or all of the 14,000,000 shares registered in this offering. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to approximately 36 months from the date of this prospectus. The sale by Aspire Capital of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline and/or to be highly volatile. Aspire Capital may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the 13,789,477 shares of Class A Common Stock not yet issued but registered in this offering. After it has acquired such shares, it may sell all, some or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to Aspire Capital by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement also may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Class A Common Stock. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Aspire Capital and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any penalty or cost to us.

Percentage of Outstanding Shares After Giving Effect to the Purchased Shares Issued to Aspire Capital

In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we authorized the sale to Aspire Capital of up to $20.0 million of our shares of Class A Common Stock. However, we estimate that we will sell no more than 14,000,000 shares to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement (inclusive of the Commitment Shares), all of which are included in this offering. Subject to any required approval by our board of directors, we have the right but not the obligation to issue more than the 14,000,000 shares included in this prospectus to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. In the event we elect to issue more than 14,000,000 shares under the Purchase Agreement, we will be required to file a new registration statement and have it declared effective by the SEC. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Aspire Capital in this offering is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The following table sets forth the number and percentage of outstanding shares to be held by Aspire Capital after giving effect to the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to Aspire Capital at varying purchase prices:

The Polymedix Transaction

On September 10, 2013 we issued 1,400,000shares of Class A Common Stock to Jeoffrey L. Burtch, an individual, as Chapter 7 Trustee (the Trustee) for the estates of PolyMedix, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary PolyMedix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Polymedix), for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Polymedix (the Polymedix Assets) from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the asset purchase agreement we executed with Polymedix on September 4, 2013 (the Polymedix Agreement).  The bankruptcy cases were pending before the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and were being jointly administered under Case No. 13-10690 (BLS).

The aggregate purchase price for the sale and transfer of the Polymedix Assets was $2,100,000 in cash plus 1,400,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock. We are required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register such 1,400,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock held by the Trustee within sixty (60) days of September 4, 2013. At any time between one day after such closing and three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after such closing, Polymedix, or any holder of such 1,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock may make written demand upon us for us to repurchase such shares of Class A Common Stock at $1.00 per share.

Events of Default under the Indentures

Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

if we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for 30 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;

if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and payable and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the debt securities or the indentures, other than a covenant solely for the benefit of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above under “Events of Default Under the Indentures,” the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above “Events of Default Under the Indentures” occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each series of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences (other than bankruptcy defaults), except there may be no waiver of defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the applicable indenture.

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request to the trustee, and such holders have offered indemnity satisfactory to the trustee, to institute the proceeding as trustee; and

the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions, within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with the covenants in the indentures.


Modification of Indenture; Waiver

We and the trustee may modify an indenture or enter into or modify any supplemental indenture without the consent of any holders of the debt securities with respect to specific matters, including:

to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture;

to comply with the provisions described above under “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale;”

to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee;

to provide for uncertificated debt securities and to make any appropriate changes for such purpose;

to add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issuance, authorization and delivery of debt securities of any unissued series;

to add to our covenants such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default, or to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture; or

to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any holder of debt securities of any series.

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, we and the trustee may only make the following changes with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities; or

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental indenture.

Discharge

Each indenture provides that, subject to the terms of the indenture and any limitation otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

maintain paying agents and agencies for payment, registration of transfer and exchange and service of notices and demands;

recover excess money held by the trustee;

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

appoint any successor trustee.

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.


“Street Name” and Other Indirect Holders

Investors who hold securities in accounts at banks or brokers generally will not be recognized by us as legal holders of debt securities. This manner of holding securities is called holding in “street name.” Instead, we would recognize only the bank or broker, or the financial institution that the bank or broker uses to hold its securities. These intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions pass along principal, interest and other payments on the debt securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. If you hold debt securities in “street name,” you should check with your own institution to find out, among other things:

how it handles payments and notices;

whether it imposes fees or charges;

how it would handle voting if applicable;

whether and how you can instruct it to send you debt securities registered in your own name so you can be a direct holder as described below; and

if applicable, how it would pursue rights under your debt securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests.

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee under the indentures and those of any third parties employed by us or the trustee under either of the indentures, run only to persons who are registered as holders of debt securities issued under the applicable indenture. As noted above, we do not have obligations to you if you hold in “street name” or other indirect means, either because you choose to hold debt securities in that manner or because the debt securities are issued in the form of global securities as described below. For example, once we make payment to the registered holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment even if that holder is legally required to pass the payment along to you as a “street name” customer but does not do so.

Form, Exchange and Transfer

We may issue debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures will provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series (the “Depository”). See “Book-Entry” below for a further description of the terms relating to any book-entry securities.

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described below or in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth below in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.


We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of any series being redeemed in part during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

Book-Entry Securities

The following description of book-entry securities will apply to any series of debt securities issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, except as otherwise described in a related prospectus supplement.

Book-entry securities of like tenor and having the same date will be represented by one or more global securities deposited with and registered in the name of a depositary that is a clearing agent registered under the Exchange Act, as amended. Beneficial interests in book-entry securities will be limited to institutions that have accounts with the depositary, or “participants,” or persons that may hold interests through participants.

Ownership of beneficial interests by participants will only be evidenced by, and the transfer of that ownership interest will only be effected through, records maintained by the depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests by persons that hold through participants will only be evidenced by, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will only be effected through, records maintained by the participants. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

Payment of principal of and any premium and interest on book-entry securities represented by a global security registered in the name of or held by a depositary will be made to the depositary, as the registered owner of the global security. Neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the depositary’s records or any participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the depositary’s records or any participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by the depositary’s procedures, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name,” and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

A global security representing a book-entry security is exchangeable for definitive debt securities in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of, or is transferable in whole or in part to, a person other than the depositary for that global security, only if (i) the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for that global security or the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series or (iii) other circumstances exist that have been specified in the terms of the debt securities of that series. Any global security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the depositary shall instruct the trustee. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in such global security.


Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the indentures, and no global security shall be exchangeable, except for a security registered in the name of the depositary. This means each person owning a beneficial interest in such global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indentures. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or an owner of a beneficial interest in such global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indentures, the depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participant to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

Information Concerning the Trustee

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture and is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur. However, upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that, unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. We will designate an office or agency of the trustee as our paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

Governing Law

Except as otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of our common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series together with other securities or separately, as described in each applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute ("NRS"). NRS Section 78.7502, provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

 

49

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim of indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.


(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

6. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

7. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
