[MISSING IMAGE: lg_seelostherapeutics-4clr.jpg]

Up to 1,945,260 Shares of
Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders listed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholders” (the “Selling Stockholders”), of up to 1,945,260 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). The 1,945,260 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of: (i) outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,879,478 shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrants”), issued by us to the Accredited Investors (as defined below), and (ii) outstanding warrants to purchase up to 65,782 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants” and together with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”), issued by us to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) or its designees. The Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholders on July 12, 2024, pursuant to that certain Inducement Offer Letter Agreement (the “Inducement Letter”), dated as of July 11, 2024, by and among Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. and the accredited investors identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Accredited Investors”). We are registering the resale of the Shares as required by the Inducement Letter.

The Warrants are subject to a blocker provision (the “Warrant Blocker”), which restricts the exercise of a Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or, at the election of the Selling Stockholder, 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to us, the Selling Stockholder may increase the Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation, but not to above 9.99%.

We agreed to hold an annual or special meeting of stockholders on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following July 12, 2024 the Closing Date for the purpose of obtaining such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or any successor entity) from our stockholders with respect to issuance of all of the Warrants and the Shares upon the exercise thereof (“Stockholder Approval”). If we do not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, we agreed to call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding. Warrants to purchase up to 1,005,521 Shares have a term of exercise of five (5) years following the date of Stockholder Approval, and the remaining Warrants to purchase up to 939,739 Shares have a term of exercise of eighteen (18) months following the date of Stockholder Approval. The Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $0.61 per Share and the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $0.7625.

Our registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell any of the Shares. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that the Selling Stockholders may use, you should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 21 of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the Shares sold by the Selling Stockholders, other than any proceeds from any cash exercise of Warrants.

The Company

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on achieving efficient development of products that address significant unmet needs in Central Nervous System (“CNS”) disorders and other rare disorders.

Our business model is to advance multiple late-stage therapeutic candidates with proven mechanisms of action that address large markets with unmet medical needs and for which there is a strong economic and scientific rationale for development.

Our product development pipeline is as follows:

Product	Indication	Development Phase	Development Status
SLS-002 Intranasal Racemic Ketamine	Acute Suicidal Ideation and Behavior (ASIB) in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)	Phase II	Completed open-label patient enrollment and announced the initial topline data from Part 1 of the proof-of-concept study on May 17, 2021; enrollment of Part 2 of a Phase II study closed in June 2023; topline data for Part 2 announced on September 20, 2023
SLS-005 IV Trehalose	Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)	Phase II/III	Completed enrollment of final participants in February 2023 in the registrational study; topline data announced on March 19, 2024
	Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA)	Phase IIb/III	In October 2022, we announced dosing of the first participant in the registrational study; enrollment of additional patients temporarily paused on March 29, 2023
	Huntington’s Disease (HD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)	Phase II	Obtaining biomarker activity
SLS-004	Parkinson’s Disease (PD)	Pre-IND	Preclinical in vivo studies ongoing; in December 2022, we announced partial results from a study demonstrating downregulation of α-synuclein; currently analyzing data while temporarily pausing additional spend

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Product	Indication	Development Phase	Development Status
Gene Therapy SLS-007	Parkinson’s Disease (PD)	Pre-IND	Preclinical study completed and analysis of the results ongoing; next steps for development of this program will be decided in concert with SLS-004 results and readouts, as both target the same pathway upstream; temporarily pausing additional spend
Peptide Inhibitor SLS-009	HD, AD, ALS	Pre-IND	Preclinical in vivo studies ongoing

Lead Programs

Our lead programs are currently SLS-002 for the potential treatment of ASIB in adults with MDD and SLS-005 for the potential treatment of ALS and SCA. SLS-005 for the potential treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome currently requires additional natural history data, which is being considered.

SLS-002 is intranasal racemic ketamine with two investigational new drug applications (“INDs”). The lead program is focused on the treatment of ASIB in MDD. SLS-002 was originally derived from a Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc./Hospira, Inc. program with 16 clinical studies involving approximately 500 subjects. SLS-002 is being developed to address an unmet need for an efficacious drug to treat suicidality in the United States. Traditionally, anti-depressants have been used in this setting but many of the existing treatments are known to contribute to an increased risk of suicidal thoughts in some circumstances, and if and when they are effective, it often takes weeks for the full therapeutic effect to be manifested. We believe there is a large opportunity in the United States and European markets for products in this space. Based on information gathered from the databases of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, there were approximately 1.48 million visits to emergency rooms for suicidal ideation or suicide attempts in 2017 in the United States alone. Experimental studies suggest ketamine has the potential to be a rapid, effective treatment for depression and suicidality.

The clinical development program for SLS-002 includes two parallel healthy volunteer studies (Phase I). We announced interim data from our Phase I study of SLS-002 during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. As a result, in March 2020, we completed a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and received guidance to conduct a Phase II proof of concept (“PoC”) study of SLS-002 for ASIB in adults with MDD, to support the further clinical development of this product candidate, together with nonclinical data under development.

As a result of the Type C meeting and the Fast Track designation for SLS-002 for the treatment of ASIB in patients with MDD, we believe we are well positioned to pursue the FDA’s expedited programs for drug development and review.

On June 23, 2020, we announced the final safety data from our Phase I pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics study of intranasal racemic ketamine (SLS-002) as well as the planned design of a Phase II double blind, placebo-controlled PoC study for ASIB in subjects with MDD. We initiated this PoC study in two parts: Part 1 was an open-label study of 17 subjects, and is being followed by Part 2, which is a double blind, placebo-controlled study of approximately 175 subjects. On January 15, 2021, we announced dosing of the first subjects in Part 1 of the PoC study. On March 5, 2021, we announced the completion of open-label enrollment of subjects in Part 1 of the PoC study. On May 17, 2021, we announced positive topline data from Part 1 of the PoC study, the open-label cohort, of our study of SLS-002 (intranasal racemic ketamine), demonstrating a significant treatment effect and a well-tolerated safety profile for ASIB in patients with MDD. This study enrolled 17 subjects diagnosed with MDD requiring psychiatric hospitalization due to significant risk of suicide with a baseline score of ≥ 28 points on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (“MADRS”), a score of 5 or 6 on MADRS Item-10, a score of ≥ 15 points on the Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) total score and a history of previous suicide attempt(s), as confirmed on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) with a history of at least one actual attempt, or if the attempt was interrupted or aborted, is judged to have been serious in intent. SLS-002

TABLE OF CONTENTS

demonstrated a 76.5% response rate (response meaning 50% reduction from baseline) in the primary endpoint on MADRS twenty-four hours after first dose, with a mean reduction in total score from 39.4 to 14.5 points.

On July 6, 2021, we announced dosing of the first subject in Part 2 of the Phase II study. Based on feedback from a Type C meeting with the FDA in June 2021, we increased the subjects in Part 2 to increase the sample size and power to support a potential marketing application. On June 20, 2023, we announced the close of enrollment of this study and released the topline data results on September 20, 2023.

SLS-005 is IV trehalose, a protein stabilizer that crosses the blood-brain-barrier and activates autophagy and the lysosomal pathway. Based on preclinical and in vitro studies, there is a sound scientific rationale for developing trehalose for the treatment of ALS, SCA and other indications such as Sanfilippo Syndrome. Trehalose is a low molecular weight disaccharide (0.342 kDa) that protects against pathological processes in cells. It has been shown to penetrate muscle and cross the blood-brain-barrier. In animal models of several diseases associated with abnormal cellular protein aggregation, it has been shown to reduce pathological aggregation of misfolded proteins as well as to activate autophagy pathways through the activation of Transcription Factor EB (“TFEB”), a key factor in lysosomal and autophagy gene expression. Activation of TFEB is an emerging therapeutic target for a number of diseases with pathologic accumulation of storage material.

Trehalose 90.5 mg/mL IV solution has demonstrated promising clinical potential in prior Phase II clinical development for oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (“OPMD”) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (“SCA3”), also known as Machado Joseph disease, with no significant safety signals to date and encouraging efficacy results. Pathological accumulation of protein aggregates within cells, whether in the CNS or in muscle, eventually leads to loss of function and ultimately cell death. Prior preclinical studies indicate that this platform has the potential to prevent mutant protein aggregation in other devastating PolyA/PolyQ diseases.

We own three United States patents for parenteral administration of trehalose for patients with OPMD and SCA3, all of which are expected to expire in 2034. In addition, Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) for OPMD and SCA3 has been secured in the United States and in the European Union (“EU”). In February 2019, we assumed a collaborative agreement, turned subsequently into a research grant, with Team Sanfilippo Foundation (“TSF”), a nonprofit medical research foundation founded by parents of children with Sanfilippo Syndrome. On April 30, 2020, we were granted ODD for SLS-005 in Sanfilippo Syndrome from the FDA. SLS-005 was previously granted ODD from the FDA and European Medicines Agency for SCA3 and OPMD as well as Fast Track designation for OPMD. On August 25, 2020, we were issued U.S. patent number 10,751,353 titled “COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING AN AGGREGATION DISEASE OR DISORDER” which relates to trehalose (SLS-005). The issued patent covers the method of use for trehalose (SLS-005) formulation for treating a disease or disorder selected from any one of the following: spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, dentatombral-pallidoluysian atrophy, Pick’s disease, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, frontotemporal dementia or parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17. On May 15, 2020, we were granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (“RPDD”) for SLS-005 in Sanfilippo Syndrome from the FDA. RPDD is an incentive program created under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to encourage the development of new therapies for the prevention and treatment of certain rare pediatric diseases. On May 27, 2021, we announced that we were granted ODD for SLS-005 in ALS from the European Medicines Agency. In December 2020, we announced the selection of SLS-005 for the Healey ALS platform trial led by Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts. The Healey ALS platform trial is designed to study multiple potential treatments for ALS simultaneously. The platform trial model aims to greatly accelerate the study access, reduce costs and shorten development timelines. On February 28, 2022, we announced the dosing of the first participants in the Healey ALS platform trial. In November 2021, we announced the FDA acceptance of an IND and grant of Fast Track designation for SLS-005 for the treatment of SCA. In July 2022, we also announced dosing of the first patient in an open-label basket study in Australia for the treatment of patients with ALS, SCA, and Huntington’s disease (“HD”). In October 2022, we also announced the dosing of the first participant in the registrational Phase II/III study for the treatment of SCA. In March 2023, we announced that in order to focus the majority of our resources on the ongoing Phase II study of SLS-002 (intranasal racemic ketamine) for ASIB in adults with MDD and the fully enrolled Phase II/III study of SLS-005 in ALS, we have

TABLE OF CONTENTS

temporarily paused additional enrollment of patients in the SLS-005-302 study in SCA. Patients already enrolled will continue in the study and data will continue to be collected in order to make decisions for resuming enrollment in the future. This temporary pause has been implemented as a business decision due to financial considerations, and is not based on any data related to safety or therapeutic effects.

Additionally, we are developing several preclinical programs, most of which have well-defined mechanisms of action, including SLS-004, licensed from Duke University, and SLS-007, licensed from The Regents of the University of California, for the potential treatment of Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”).

Strategy and Ongoing Programs

SLS-002: The clinical development program for SLS-002 includes two parallel healthy volunteer studies (Phase I). Following these Phase I studies, we completed a Type C meeting with the FDA in March 2020 and received guidance to conduct a Phase II PoC study of SLS-002 for ASIB in adults with MDD. We released topline data for Part 1 of our open-label study on May 17, 2021. We initiated enrollment in Part 2 of the Phase II study on July 6, 2021, closed enrollment in June 2023, and expect to release the topline results in the third quarter of 2023.

We retained Canaccord Genuity to assist in our ongoing review of potential partnerships, collaborations, and business development opportunities. On the merits of our unique ketamine expertise with SLS-002 in suicidality and our inclusion in a government sponsored PTSD study, we are currently exploring a potential collaboration in the mental health space to increase shareholder value. Additionally, we have been evaluating the use of SLS-002 in indications beyond ASIB and PTSD including but not limited to MDD and adjunctive MDD.

SLS-005: We completed enrollment in February 2023 for a clinical study in ALS and began enrollment for a clinical study in SCA in October 2022. In December 2020, we announced the selection of SLS-005 for the Healey ALS platform trial led by Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts. The Healey ALS platform trial is designed to study multiple potential treatments for ALS simultaneously. The platform trial model aims to greatly accelerate the study access, reduce costs, and shorten development timelines. On February 28, 2022, we announced dosing of the first participants in the Healey ALS platform trial. In February 2023, we announced the completion of enrollment of the study and released the topline data results on March 19, 2024.

In November 2021, we announced the FDA acceptance of an IND and grant of Fast Track designation for SLS-005 for the treatment of SCA. In July 2022, we announced dosing of the first patient in an open-label basket study in Australia for the treatment of patients with ALS, SCA, and HD. In October 2022, we also announced the dosing of the first participant in the registrational Phase II/III study for the treatment of SCA.

During 2022, we received regulatory approval in Australia to commence a study pursuing the collection of certain biomarker data in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease.

We are also continuing to consider trials in Sanfilippo Syndrome and are seeking more natural history data based on the guidance from regulatory agencies.

In March 2023, we announced that in order to focus the majority of our resources on the ongoing Phase II study of SLS-002 (intranasal racemic ketamine) for ASIB in patients with MDD and the fully enrolled Phase II/III study of SLS-005 in ALS, we have temporarily paused additional enrollment of patients in the SLS-005-302 study in SCA. Patients already enrolled will continue in the study and data will continue to be collected in order to make decisions for resuming enrollment in the future. This temporary pause has been implemented as a business decision due to financial considerations, and is not based on any data related to safety or therapeutic effects.

SLS-004 is an all-in-one lentiviral vector, targeted for gene editing through DNA methylation within intron 1 of the synuclein alpha (“SNCA”) gene that expresses alpha-synuclein protein. SLS-004, when delivered to dopaminergic neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells of a PD patient, modified the expression on alpha-synuclein (“α-synuclein”) and exhibited reversal of the disease-related cellular-phenotype characteristics of the neurons. The role of mutated SNCA in PD pathogenesis and the need to maintain the normal physiological levels of α-synuclein protein emphasize the yet unmet need to

develop new therapeutic strategies, such as SLS-004, targeting the regulatory mechanism of α-synuclein expression. On May 28, 2020, we announced the initiation of a preclinical study of SLS-004 in PD through an all-in-one lentiviral vector targeting the SNCA gene. We are constructing a bimodular viral system harboring an endogenous α-synuclein transgene and inducible regulated repressive CRISPR/dCas9-unit to achieve suppression of PD-related pathologies. On July 7, 2021, we announced positive in vivo data demonstrating down-regulation of SNCA mRNA and protein expression under this study. In December 2022, we announced in vivo data demonstrating that a single dose of SLS-004 was successful in reversing some of the key hallmarks of PD in a humanized mouse model. These findings observed in an in vivo humanized PD model validate and extend prior findings from in vitro data using SLS-004. SLS-004 demonstrated therapeutically desirable change in SNCA expression that led to reversing the key hallmarks of PD in the model towards normal physiological levels, indicating disease modifying effect of single dose administration of SLS-004, a CRISPR/dCas-9 based gene therapy for PD. We have halted any further investment in this program until additional funding is received.

SLS-007 is a rationally designed peptide-based approach, targeting the nonamyloid component core (“NACore”) of α-synuclein to inhibit the protein from aggregation. Recent in vitro and cell culture research has shown that SLS-007 has the ability to stop the propagation and seeding of α-synuclein aggregates. We will evaluate the potential for in vivo delivery of SLS-007 in a PD transgenic mice model. The goal will be to establish in vivo pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and target engagement parameters of SLS-007, a family of anti-α-synuclein peptidic inhibitors. On June 25, 2020, we announced the initiation of a preclinical study of SLS-007 in PD delivered through an adeno associated viral (“AAV”) vector targeting the non-amyloid component core of α-synuclein. We have initiated an in vivo preclinical study of SLS-007 in rodents to assess the ability of two specific novel peptides, S62 and S71, delivered via AAV1/2 viral vector, to protect dopaminergic function in the AAV A53T overexpression mice model of PD. Production of AAV1/2 vectors encoding each of the two novel peptides incorporating hemagglutinin tags has already been completed. The results are currently being analyzed and the next steps for development of this program will be decided in concert with SLS-004 results and readouts, as both target the same pathway upstream.

SLS-009 is our first internally created program, which follows the mechanism of action known as PROTACs (protein-targeting chimeric molecules), which uses the body’s own natural process of autophagy and lysosomal degradation to clear out mutant and misfolded proteins in the body. SLS-009 induces autophagy and enhances lysosomal clearance by augmenting existing endogenous cellular degradation pathways to remove only the mutant and neurotoxic proteins.

We intend to become a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on neurological and psychiatric disorders, including orphan indications. Our business strategy includes:

•

advancing SLS-002 in ASIB in MDD and post-traumatic stress disorder;

•

advancing SLS-004 in PD;

•

advancing SLS-005 in ALS, SCA, HD and Sanfilippo Syndrome;

•

advancing new formulations of SLS-005 in neurological diseases; and

•

acquiring synergistic assets in the CNS therapy space through licensing and partnerships.

We also have two legacy product candidates: a product candidate in the United States for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which we in-licensed from Warner Chilcott Company, Inc., now a subsidiary of Allergan plc; and a product candidate which has completed a Phase IIa clinical trial for the treatment of Raynaud’s Phenomenon, secondary to scleroderma, for which we own worldwide rights.

Nasdaq Delisting Notice

On April 30, 2024, we received written notice (the “Bid Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the bid price for the Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 28, 2024, to regain compliance. The Bid Notice states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written confirmation that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

we have achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if at any time before October 28, 2024, the bid price of the Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

If we do not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by October 28, 2024, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify us that our securities will be subject to delisting.

Additionally, on May 1, 2024, we received written notice (the “Delist Notice” and, together with the Bid Notice, the “Notices”) from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon our continued non-compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2), the Nasdaq staff has determined to delist our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market effective May 10, 2024 unless we timely requested an appeal of this determination before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by May 8, 2024. We timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which had the effect of staying the suspension of the Common Stock pending the Panel’s decision. During the pendency of our hearing before the Panel, our Common Stock remained listed and trading on Nasdaq.

In response to our request following a hearing before the Panel, on July 25, 2024, we received written notification (the “Extension Notice”) from the Panel notifying us that the Panel had granted our request for an additional period, during which the Company will remain listed on Nasdaq, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) and demonstrate continued compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to the Extension Notice, the Panel granted the Company an additional period until August 30, 2024 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) and until September 30, 2024 to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). The extension is subject to certain conditions specified by the Panel in the Extension Notice.

We are diligently working to evidence compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and we expect to submit a plan to that effect to the Panel as part of the hearing process; however, there can be no assurance the Panel will grant any request for continued listing or that we will be able to regain compliance with the applicable listing criteria within the period of time that may be granted by the Panel.

The Notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SEEL.”

We intend to monitor the bid price and market value of our Common Stock and consider available options if our Common Stock does not trade at a level likely to result in us regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule by October 28, 2024, or the minimum market value of listed securities rule, which may include, among other options, effectuating a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule or Nasdaq’s minimum market value of listed securities rule or that we will otherwise be in compliance with the other listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Reduction in Force

On April 30, 2024, we announced a reduction in its workforce that affected approximately 33% of our current employees (the “RIF”), along with a reduction in working hours and related compensation for all of our remaining employees. This decision relates to our recent announcement of our strategic focus on our mental health initiatives and serves to reduce ongoing operating expenses not related to such initiatives and extend our cash runway. Total annualized cost savings from the RIF are estimated at approximately $0.8 million and total annualized cost savings from the reduction in working hours are estimated at approximately $1.6 million. The RIF was substantially completed on April 30, 2024.

We recognized approximately $50,000 in total charges for related benefits for employees whose employment was terminated pursuant to the RIF. These are one-time termination benefits and are cash charges. We may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the RIF.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 15, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to (i) effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Common Stock, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time, on May 16, 2024, and (ii) decrease the number of total authorized shares of the Common Stock from 400,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Share Decrease”). The Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of the market on May 16, 2024. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, the share and per share information in this prospectus gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Share Decrease.

May 2024 Offering

On May 16, 2024, we entered into that certain securities purchase agreement with the accredited investors identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 380,968 shares of Common Stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 81,239 shares of Common Stock in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, we also agreed to issue and sell to the investors warrants to purchase up to 924,414 shares of Common Stock. The combined purchase price for one share and accompanying warrant to purchase two shares of Common Stock for each share purchased was $2.46. The combined purchase price for one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase two shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a purchased pre-funded warrant was $2.459.

The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock and were exercisable immediately upon issuance. The holders may exercise the pre-funded warrants by means of a “cashless exercise.” The warrants have an exercise price of $2.21 per share of Common Stock, were exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire five (5) years following the original issuance date. If at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not available for the issuance, then the holders may exercise the warrants by means of a “cashless exercise.” The warrants are not and will not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.

Each holder of a warrant or pre-funded warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrant or pre-funded warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase such beneficial ownership limitation, but not to above 9.99%. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and pre-funded warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the warrants and pre-funded warrants.

On May 16, 2024, we also entered into a placement agent agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth Capital”), pursuant to which Roth Capital acted as placement agent for the offering and we agreed to pay Roth Capital an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the securities in the offering. The placement agent agreement included indemnity and other customary provisions for transactions of this nature. We also agreed to reimburse Roth Capital for up to $50,000 for placement agent’s legal fees and expenses.

The closing of the offering occurred on May 21, 2024.

July 2024 Offering

On July 11, 2024, we entered into the Inducement Letter with the Selling Stockholders, who at the time of execution of the Inducement Letter, were holders of warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 939,739 shares of Common Stock, originally issued to the Selling Stockholders on December 1, 2023, with an exercise price of $10.56 per share of Common Stock and a termination date of December 1, 2028, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

January 30, 2024, with an exercise price of $8.40 per share of Common Stock and a termination date of January 30, 2029 (together, the “Existing Warrants”).

Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the Accredited Investors agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Warrants at an exercise price of $0.61 per share of Common Stock in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue, in a private placement, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,879,478 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.61 per share. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $573,240 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Selling Stockholders, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us.

We engaged the Placement Agent to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering and agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Selling Stockholders’ exercise of the Existing Warrants, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants. We also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants to purchase up to 65,782 shares of Common Stock (representing 7.0% of the Existing Warrants being exercised), which have the same terms as the Warrants except the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.7625 per share (125% of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants). In addition, we agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its expenses in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the Warrants of: (i) $30,000 for fees and expenses of the Placement Agent’s counsel, and (ii) $15,950 for its clearing costs.

The closing of the offering occurred on July 12, 2024. We expect to use the net proceeds from these transactions for general corporate purposes.

We agreed to hold an annual or special meeting of stockholders on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following July 12, 2024 for the purpose of obtaining such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or any successor entity) from the stockholders of the Company with respect to issuance of all of the Warrants and the Shares upon the exercise thereof. If we do not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, we agreed to call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding.

We also agreed, pursuant to the Inducement Letter, to file a registration statement on Form S-3 providing for the resale of the Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”), as soon as possible (and in any event within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date of Inducement Letter), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such resale registration statement declared effective by the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of the Inducement Letter (or within ninety (90) calendar days following the date of the Inducement Letter in case of “full review” of the Resale Registration Statement by the SEC) and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the Warrants owns any Warrants or Shares. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part as required pursuant to the foregoing provision in the Inducement Letter.

In addition, pursuant to the Inducement Letter, we agreed not to issue any shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents or to file any other registration statement with the SEC (in each case, subject to certain exceptions) until fifteen (15) days after July 12, 2024. We also agreed not to effect or agree to effect any Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Inducement Letter) until six (6) months after July 12, 2024 (subject to certain exceptions).

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, under “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to purchase any of the Common Stock being offered. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Our debt agreement contains restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility and the failure to comply with such covenants could cause our outstanding debt to become immediately payable.

On November 23, 2021, we issued and sold to Lind the Note in an aggregate principal amount of $22.0 million. The Note contains certain restrictive covenants and event of default provisions, including restrictions on certain sales or other dispositions of company assets, restrictions on entering into certain variable-rate transactions and a covenant requiring us to maintain an aggregate minimum balance equal to 50% of the then outstanding principal amount under the Note or more in cash and cash equivalents commencing on October 31, 2024. As of August 12, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the Note was approximately $11.4 million. Based on our current operating plan and our cash balance as of June 30, 2024, and after giving effect to the receipt of proceeds from this offering, we do not expect to be able to maintain the minimum cash balance required to satisfy this covenant if we do not raise additional financing by October 31, 2024. In the event we fail to meet the minimum cash balance as required under the Note, and if we are unable to cure such default within fifteen (15) days from its occurrence or otherwise obtain a waiver from Lind or amend the terms of the Note, we would trigger a default under the Note. If we are not able to comply or regain compliance with any of the covenants in, or otherwise trigger a default under, the Note, Lind could declare the Note immediately due and payable, which would require us to pay 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note and would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, operating results, business and prospects, and could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline. In addition, since the borrowings under the Convertible Promissory Note are secured by a first priority lien on our assets, Lind would be able to foreclose on our assets if we do not cure any default or pay any amounts due and payable under the Convertible Promissory Note. In addition, upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), Lind shall have the right to convert the then outstanding principal amount of the Note into shares of our Common Stock at the lower of (x) the then-current conversion price (which is currently $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described in the Note) and (y) 85% of the average of the five lowest daily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the delivery by Lind of a notice of conversion.

Risks Related to Owning Our Common Stock

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our Common Stock may be delisted and the price of our Common Stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

We must continue to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive business days. If a company fails for thirty (30) consecutive business days to meet the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the company, advising that it has been afforded a “compliance period” of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements.

A delisting of our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our Common Stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors and employees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On April 30, 2024, we received the Bid Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days, the bid price for our Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 28, 2024, to regain compliance. The Bid Notice states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if at any time before October 28, 2024, the bid price of our Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days.

On November 2, 2023, we received a written notice (the “Initial Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that, for the last thirty-two consecutive business days, the market value of our listed securities has been below the minimum requirement of $35 million for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (“Rule 5550(b)(2)”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we were provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 30, 2024, to regain compliance. The Initial Notice stated that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) if at any time before April 30, 2024, the market value of our common stock closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

On May 1, 2024, we received the Delist Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon our continued non-compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2), the Nasdaq staff has determined to delist our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital market effective May 10, 2024 unless we timely request an appeal of this determination before the Panel by May 8, 2024. We timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which had the effect of staying the suspension of our Common Stock pending the Panel’s final written decision. During the pendency of our hearing before the Panel, our Common Stock will remain listed and trading on Nasdaq.

On May 15, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to (i) effect the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) decrease the number of total authorized shares of our Common Stock from 400,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. The Reverse Stock Split was intended, among other reasons, to allow us to achieve the requisite increase in the market price of our Common Stock to be in compliance with the minimum bid price of Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that the price of our Common Stock will stay above the minimum requirements for the time period required by Nasdaq in order to regain compliance with the rule.

In addition, we have previously received similar notices from Nasdaq that our bid price of our Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(a)(2), and that the market value of our listed securities has been below the minimum requirements of $35 million for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(b)(2). Even though we previously regained compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum closing bid price requirement, and minimum market value of listed securities requirement, there is no guarantee that we will remain in compliance with such listing requirements or other listing requirements in the future. Any failure to maintain compliance with continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Market could result in delisting of our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and negatively impact our company and holders of our common stock, including by reducing the willingness of investors to hold our Common Stock because of the resulting decreased price, liquidity and trading of our Common Stock, limited availability of price quotations and reduced news and analyst coverage. Delisting may adversely impact the perception of our financial condition, cause reputational harm with investors, our employees and parties conducting business with us and limit our access to debt and equity financing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will receive no proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We may, however, receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of the Warrants to the extent that the Warrants are exercised for cash. The exercise price of the Investor Warrants is $0.61 per Share and the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $0.7625. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including stock splits, dividends or distributions, or other similar transactions. However, the Warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allow the holders to exercise the Warrants without making a cash payment to us in the event that, if at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, there is no registration statement registering, or no current prospectus is available for, the resale of the Shares.

There can be no assurance that any of these Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Stockholders at all or that the Warrants will be exercised for cash rather than pursuant to the “cashless exercise” feature. To the extent we receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Warrants, we intend to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, to advance the development of its product candidates and to make periodic principal and interest payments under, or to repay a portion of, the Note. We do not have any specific plans for acquisitions or other business combinations at this time. Our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants.

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and any similar expenses they incur in disposing of the Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus. These may include, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Reverse Stock Split

On May 16, 2024, we effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of our common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split, the total number of authorized shares of our common stock was decreased from 400,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “Selling Stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed below and donees, pledgees, permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer.

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 1,945,260 shares of our Common Stock. The 1,945,260 shares of Common Stock to be offered hereby are issuable to the Selling Stockholders in connection with the exercise of the Warrants.

We issued the Warrants to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to Inducement Letter. The exercise price of the Investor Warrants is $0.61 per Share and the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $0.7625, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrants. Warrants to purchase up to 1,005,521 Shares have a term of exercise of five (5) years following the date of Stockholder Approval, and the remaining Warrants to purchase up to 939,739 Shares have a term of exercise of eighteen (18) months following the date of Stockholder Approval. Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The information in the table below, assumes that the Stockholder Approval has been obtained. The “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered for Resale Pursuant to this Prospectus” listed in the table below does not reflect such limitations. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in this offering. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution”.

All of the 1,945,260 shares of Common Stock to be offered hereby will be issued in reliance on the exemption from securities registration in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The shares of Common Stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders are “restricted” securities under applicable federal and state securities laws and are being registered under the Securities Act to give the Selling Stockholders the opportunity to sell these shares publicly. The registration of these shares does not require that any of the shares be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders. Subject to these resale restrictions, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their shares indicated below in privately negotiated transactions or on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other market on which our Common Stock may subsequently be listed or quoted.

The registered shares may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers, or in a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best effort basis. To the extent required, the names of any agent or broker-dealer and applicable commissions or discounts and any other required information with respect to any particular offering will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution”. The Selling Stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with any Selling Stockholder in the distribution of registered shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the registered shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

No estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of Common Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after any sales made pursuant to this prospectus because the Selling Stockholders are not required to sell any of the Securities being registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following table assumes that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the Securities listed in this prospectus.

Except for the purchase of the Note by Lind and related transactions, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a security holder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have prepared this table based on written representations and information furnished to us by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. Since the date on which the Selling Stockholders provided this information, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that (1) the Selling Stockholders are not a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer, (2) the Selling Stockholders do not have any direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute its Shares, and (3) the Selling Stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. To the extent any Selling Stockholder is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed to be, under SEC Staff interpretations, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus, if required.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock held, as of August 12, 2024, by the Selling Stockholders and the number of Shares being registered hereby and information with respect to shares to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering of the shares for resale. The percentages in the following table reflect the shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as a percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 12, 2024. As of such date, 6,240,083 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock subject to warrants, options and other convertible securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 12, 2024 are deemed outstanding. Shares subject to warrants, options and other convertible securities, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(2)

The number of shares of Common Stock reflected in this column as beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder includes (i) any outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Selling Stockholder, and (ii) if any, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and any other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock that may be held by such Selling Stockholder, in each case which such Selling Stockholder has the right to acquire as of August 12, 2024 and without it or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 12, 2024.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the Shares to permit the resale of the Shares by the holders thereof from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Shares.

Each Selling Stockholder may sell all or a portion of the Shares beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time, directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting fees, discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve cross or block transactions. The Selling Stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the Shares or interests therein:

•

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

•

in the over-the-counter market;

•

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

•

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

in privately negotiated transactions;

•

in short sales;

•

through the distribution of the Securities by any Selling Stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;

•

through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

•

in sales pursuant to Rule 144;

•

whereby broker-dealers may agree with any Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

•

in a combination of any such methods of sale; and

•

in any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

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

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer

and sell the Shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders, individually and not severally, and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of the Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Under the securities laws of some states, the Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares offered will be the purchase price of the Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of the Shares to be made directly or through agents. There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

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

We will incur costs, fees and expenses in effecting the registration of the Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants, estimated to be $150,000 in total, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws and the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent registered public accounting firm and reasonable fees; provided, however, that a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.

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

If we do not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, we agreed to call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants are no longer outstanding. Warrants to purchase up to 1,005,521 Shares have a term of exercise of five (5) years following the date of Stockholder Approval, and the remaining Warrants to purchase up to 939,739 Shares have a term of exercise of eighteen (18) months following the date of Stockholder Approval. The exercise price of the Investor Warrants is $0.61 per Share and the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $0.7625.

Pursuant to the Warrants, in the event: (i) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effect any merger or consolidation with or into another person (excluding a merger effect solely to change

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our name or domiciliation), (ii) we, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, exclusive license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by us or another person) is completed pursuant to which the holders of our Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or other property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of our common equity, (iv) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effect any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which our Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummate a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock ore more than 50% of the voting power of our common equity(each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such event, upon any subsequent exercises of the Warrants, the holders of the Warrants will have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation or is otherwise the continuing corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.

The Warrants also contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders to exercise the Warrants without making a cash payment in the event that there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants at t the time a holder exercises its Warrants. The Warrants are subject to a blocker provision which restricts the exercise of the Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or, at the election of the Selling Stockholder, 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to us, the Selling Stockholder may increase the Warrant Beneficial Ownership Limitation, but not to above 9.99%.

As of August 12, 2024, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,056,751 shares of Common Stock as follows:

•

warrants to purchase an aggregate of three (3) shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $92,880.00 per share, all of which are currently exercisable (subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations) and expire on October 17, 2024, all of which shall be automatically exercised on a “cashless” basis upon expiration if the fair market value of the Common Stock is greater than the exercise price of the warrants on the expiration date of the warrants;

•

warrants to purchase an aggregate of three (3) shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $118,080 per share, all of which are currently exercisable and expire on July 23, 2025, all of which shall be automatically exercised on a “cashless” basis upon expiration if the fair market value of the Common Stock is greater than the exercise price of the warrants on the expiration date of the warrants;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

All of the outstanding warrants contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar transactions. In addition, certain of the warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders thereof to exercise the warrants without a cash payment to us under certain circumstances. Certain of the warrants also contain provisions that provide certain rights to warrant holders in the event of a fundamental transaction, including a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, such as:

•

the right to receive the same amount and kind of consideration paid to the holders of common stock in the fundamental transaction;

•

the right to require us or a successor entity to purchase the unexercised portion of certain warrants at the warrant’s respective fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing formula; or

•

the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the unexercised portion of certain warrants for the same consideration paid to holders of common stock in the fundamental transaction at the warrant’s respective fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing formula.

Convertible Promissory Note

As of August 12, 2024, we had one outstanding convertible promissory note in an aggregate principal outstanding amount of approximately $11.4 million, which was issued on November 23, 2021, is convertible by the holder thereof into up to approximately 7,889 shares of Common Stock any time and matures on November 23, 2024.

The Note provides that, commencing on the nine (9) month anniversary of the date of issuance of the Note, the holder of the Note may convert any portion of the then-outstanding principal amount into shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $1,440.00 subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Beginning on November 23, 2022, the Note began amortizing in twenty-four (24) monthly installments equal to the quotient of (i) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note, divided by (ii) the number of months remaining until the maturity date of the Note. All amortization payments shall be payable, at our sole option, in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of both. In addition, commencing on the last business day of the first month following November 23, 2022, we must pay, on a monthly basis, all interest that has accrued and remains unpaid on the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note. Any portion of an amortization payment or interest payment that is paid in shares of common stock shall be priced at 90% of the average of the five (5) lowest daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the date of issuance of the shares.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law and Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of Nevada law and our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, could make the following more difficult:

•

acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;

•

acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or

•

removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, summarized below, could have the effect of discouraging certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions may also encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Classified Board. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that our board of directors is to be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with directors in each class serving three-year terms. This provision may have the effect of delaying or discouraging an acquisition of us or a change in our management.

Filling Vacancies. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the our board of directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall, unless otherwise provided by law or resolution of our board of directors, be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum. The directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been chosen expires.

Removal. The Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provide that any director may be removed from our board of directors by the vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors.

Special Meetings of the Stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called by our chair of our board of directors or our President, or by our board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by the total number of authorized directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

No Cumulative Voting. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The authorization of undesignated preferred stock in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The amendment of any of the above provisions set forth in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, except for the provision making it possible for our board of directors to issue undesignated preferred stock, would require approval by a stockholder vote by the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

In addition, the NRS contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. Nevada’s “acquisition of controlling interest” statutes (NRS 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive) contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These “control share” laws provide generally that any person that acquires a “controlling interest” in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights. These laws will apply to us as of a particular date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the ninety (90) days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless our articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise. These laws provide that a person acquires a “controlling interest” whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more, but less than a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become “control shares” to which the voting restrictions described above apply. These laws may have a chilling effect on certain transactions if our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, are not amended to provide that these provisions do not apply to us or to an acquisition of a controlling interest, or if our disinterested stockholders do not confer voting rights in the control shares.

Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes (NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive) provide that specified types of business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” of the corporation are prohibited for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder”) in advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an “interested stockholder”. These laws generally apply to Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but if such election is not made in the corporation’s original articles of incorporation, the amendment (1) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2) is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment. We have not made such an election in our original articles of incorporation or in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and we have not amended our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to so elect.

Further, NRS 78.139 also provides that directors may resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies pursuant to NRS 78.138(4).

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and persons controlling us pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the Common Stock 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 the issue.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Registrant’s officers and directors are indemnified under Nevada law, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and its Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, against certain liabilities. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada in effect from time to time.

Pursuant to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, none of the Registrant’s directors or officers shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for (1) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (2) the payment of dividends in violation of the applicable statutes of Nevada. Further, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide that if Nevada law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, the liability of a director or officer of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, as so amended from time to time. However, Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138 currently provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Nevada Revised Statutes, a director or officer shall not be individually liable to the Registrant or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the presumption established by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138(3) has been rebutted, (ii) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and (iii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, it shall indemnify and hold harmless 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, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Registrant or is serving at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise or by reason of actions alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all loss, liability and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, costs, damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and ERISA excise taxes or penalties, actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal. This right to indemnification shall continue for any person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, also provide that it shall pay the expenses of directors and officers incurred as a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, but, if applicable law so requires, only upon receipt by the Registrant of an undertaking from the director or officer to repay the advanced amounts in the event it is ultimately determined by a final decision, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, each director or officer of the Registrant who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise. Such indemnification shall be against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding; provided that such director or officer either is not liable pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. No such indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of any such director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action, or for any expenses of such director or officer incurred in his or her capacity as a stockholder. The Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, also require that the expenses of such directors and officers must be paid by the Registrant (or through insurance maintained, or other financial arrangements made, by the Registrant) as such expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant. Any indemnification of directors and officers under the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, shall inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify, pursuant to that statutory provision, a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of another entity or enterprise (including as a manager of a limited liability company), for which such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the corporation, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith, arising by reason of such person’s service in such capacity if such person (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, no indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes may be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, unless ordered by a court or advanced to a director or officer by the corporation in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. Such determination must be made (1) by the stockholders, (2) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (3) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes further provides that indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in the person’s official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes or for the advancement of expenses, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and such misconduct, fraud or violation was material to the cause of action.

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.

(5)

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

(6)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.

(7)

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 Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

To the addressee set forth above:

We have acted as local Nevada counsel to Seelos Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing by the Company of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), including the prospectus set forth therein (the “Prospectus”), relating to the resale by the selling stockholders identified in the Prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 1,945,260 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable upon exercise of (i) outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,879,478 shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrants”), issued by the Company to certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to those certain Inducement Offer Letter Agreements, dated July 11, 2024 (the “Inducement Letters”), and (ii) outstanding warrants to purchase up to 65,782 shares of Common Stock (together with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”), issued by the Company to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC or its designees pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement, dated July 10, 2024 (together with the Inducement Letters and the Warrants, the “Transaction Documents”). This opinion letter is being delivered at your request pursuant to the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

In our capacity as such counsel, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Warrant Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. For purposes of this opinion letter, and except to the extent set forth in the opinions below, we have assumed that all such proceedings have been or will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed in the Transaction Documents and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

For purposes of issuing this opinion letter, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of (i) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (ii) the Transaction Documents; (iii) the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company; and (iv) such agreements, instruments, resolutions of the board of directors of the Company and committees thereof and other corporate records, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. We have obtained from officers and other representatives and agents of the Company and from public officials, and have relied upon, such certificates, representations and assurances, and public filings, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in our examination, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification: (i) the statements of fact and all representations and warranties set forth in the documents we have reviewed are true and correct as to factual matters, in each case as of the date or dates of such documents and as of the date hereof; (ii) each natural person executing any of the documents we have reviewed has sufficient legal capacity to do so; (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we have reviewed are genuine and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, facsimile or electronic copies conform to the original document; (iv) all corporate records made available to us by the Company, and all public records we have reviewed, are accurate and complete; (v) the obligations of each party set forth in the Transaction Documents are its valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms; and (vi) after any issuance of Warrant Shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, together with the total number of shares of Common Stock then reserved for issuance or obligated to be issued by the Company pursuant to any agreement or arrangement or otherwise, will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized under the Company’s articles of incorporation.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and having regard to legal considerations and other information that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and if, when and to the extent any Warrant Shares are issued and sold in accordance with all applicable terms and conditions set forth in, and in the manner contemplated by, the relevant Transaction Documents (including the proper exercise of the relevant Warrant(s) and payment in full of the exercise price thereunder and any and all other consideration required for such Warrant Shares as prescribed under the Transaction Documents), and as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, such Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon the applicable laws of the State of Nevada and the facts in existence on the date hereof. In delivering this opinion letter to you, we disclaim any obligation to update or supplement the opinions set forth herein or to apprise you of any changes in any laws or facts after the later of the date hereof and such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective. No opinion is offered or implied as to any matter, and no inference may be drawn, beyond the strict scope of the specific issues expressly addressed by the opinions set forth herein.
