PROSPECTUS
Up to 16,531,508 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by the selling
securityholders of Arch Therapeutics, Inc. named herein of up to 16,531,508 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(“
Common Stock
”). These shares include the 5,624,845 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock currently
held by the selling securityholders and 10,906,663 shares of Common Stock currently underlying Series D Warrants held by the selling
securityholders, all of which were initially issued and sold in a private placement offering that was concluded on July 2, 2015
(the “
2015 Private Placement Financing
”). The Common Stock issued in the 2015 Private Placement Financing was
sold as a part of a unit (“
Unit
”) consisting of a share of our Common Stock and a Series D Warrant at a purchase
price of $0.22 per Unit. The Series D Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase a share of Common Stock at an initial exercise
price of $0.25 per share, were exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire five years thereafter.
The selling securityholders may sell the shares of Common Stock
to be registered hereby from time to time 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 one or more transactions otherwise than on these exchanges
or systems or in the over-the-counter market, such as privately negotiated transactions, or using a combination of these methods,
and 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. See the disclosure under the heading “
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
” in this prospectus for more
information.
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of Common
Stock by the selling securityholders.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the QB tier of the
OTC Marketplace (“
OTCQB
”) under the symbol “
ARTH
”. On November 16, 2016, the closing price
of our common stock was $0.593 per share.
We originally offered and sold the securities issued in the
2016 Private Placement Financing under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “
Securities Act
”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Our
Company
We are a biotechnology company in the development stage with
limited operations to date. We aim to develop products that make surgery and interventional care faster and safer by using a novel
approach that stops bleeding (referenced as “
hemostatic
” or “
hemostasis
”), controls leaking
(referenced as “
sealant
” or “
sealing
”), and provides other advantages during surgery and
trauma care. Our core technology is based on a self-assembling peptide that creates a physical, mechanical barrier, which could
be applied to seal organs or wounds that are leaking blood and other fluids. We believe our technology could support an innovative
platform of potential products in the field of stasis and barrier applications. Our lead product candidate, the AC5 Surgical Hemostatic
Device™ (which we sometimes refer to as “
AC5™
”), is designed to achieve hemostasis in minimally
invasive and open surgical procedures, and we hope to develop other hemostatic or sealant product candidates in the future based
on our self-assembling peptide technology platform. Our plan and business model is to develop products that apply that core technology
to use with human bodily fluids and connective tissues.
AC5 is designed to be a biocompatible synthetic peptide comprising
naturally occurring amino acids. When applied to a wound, AC5 intercalates into the interstices of the connective tissue where
it self-assembles into a physical, mechanical structure that provides a barrier to leaking substances, such as blood. AC5 is designed
for direct application as a liquid, which we believe will make it user-friendly and able to conform to irregular wound geometry.
Additionally, AC5 is not sticky or glue-like, which we believe will enhance its utility in the setting of minimally invasive and
laparoscopic surgeries. Further, in certain settings, AC5 lends itself to a concept that we call Crystal Clear Surgery™
because the transparency and physical properties of AC5 enable a surgeon to operate through it in order to maintain a clearer
field of vision and prophylactically stop or lessen bleeding as it starts.
Corporate
Information
We were incorporated under the laws of State of Nevada on September
16, 2009 as Almah, Inc. On May 10, 2013, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “
Merger Agreement
”)
with Arch Biosurgery, Inc., a private Massachusetts corporation (“
ABS
”), and Arch Acquisition Corporation,
our wholly owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of the transaction, pursuant to which Arch Acquisition Corporation merged with
and into ABS and ABS thereby became our wholly owned subsidiary (the “
Merger
”). The Merger closed on June 26,
2013. In contemplation of the Merger, we changed our name from Almah, Inc. to Arch Therapeutics, Inc. Our principal executive
offices are located at 235 Walnut St., Suite 6, Framingham, Massachusetts 01702. The telephone number of our principal executive
offices is (617) 431-2313. Our website address is
http://www.archtherapeutics.com.
We have not incorporated by reference
into this prospectus the information on our website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this document.
2015
Private Placement Financing
Beginning June 22, 2015 and through June 30, 2015, we entered
into a series of substantially similar subscription agreements (each a “
2015 Subscription Agreement
”) with
20 accredited investors (collectively, the “
2015 Investors
”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company
to the 2015 Investors, in a private placement, of an aggregate of 14,390,754 Units at a purchase price of $0.22 per Unit (the
“
2015 Private Placement Financing
”). Each Unit consisted of a share of Common Stock, and a Series D Warrant
to purchase a share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the
issuance date of the Series D Warrant (the “
Series D Warrants
,” and the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Series D Warrants, collectively, the “
Series D Warrant Shares
”).
The number of shares of Common Stock into which each of the
Series D Warrants is exercisable and the exercise price therefor are subject to adjustment as set forth in the Series D Warrants,
including adjustments for stock subdivisions or combinations (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
scheme, arrangement or otherwise). In addition, (i) at anytime during the term of the Series D Warrants, we may reduce the then
current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by our Board of Directors (the “
Board
”);
and (ii) certain of the Series D Warrants provide that they shall not be exercisable in the event and to the extent that the exercise
thereof would result in the holder of the Series D Warrant or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9% of our
Common Stock, but such ownership limitation may be waived at the holder’s discretion, provided that such waiver will not
become effective until the 61
st
day after delivery of such waiver notice.
We did not engage any underwriter or placement agent in connection
with the 2015 Private Placement Financing. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by us in the 2015 Private Placement Financing totaled
approximately $3,166,000, and upon the Second Closing (as later defined) on July 2, 2015, the number of shares of our Common Stock
outstanding increased by over eighteen percent (18%) from 78,766,487 to 93,157,241.
The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Units,
and the corresponding obligation of the 2015 Investors to purchase such securities were subject to a number of conditions precedent
including, but not limited to, the amendment of the Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants that we had previously issued in our
private placement financing that closed on February 4, 2014 (the “
2014 Private Placement Financing
”) to delete
certain anti-dilution provisions contained therein, and other customary closing conditions. The conditions precedent were satisfied
June 30, 2015 (the “
Initial Closing Date
”), and on that date we conducted an initial closing (the “
Initial
Closing
”) pursuant to which we sold and 19 of the 2015 Investors (the “
Initial Investors
”) purchased
13,936,367 Units at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,066,000. On July 2, 2015, we conducted a second closing (the
“
Second Closing
” and together with the Initial Closing, the “
Closings
”) pursuant to which
we sold and the remaining 2015 Investor purchased 454,387 Units at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100,000.
On the Initial Closing Date, we entered into a registration
rights agreement with the Initial Investors (the “
2015 Registration Rights Agreement
”), pursuant to which we
became obligated, subject to certain conditions, to file with the SEC within 90 days after the closing of the 2015 Private Placement
Financing one or more registration statements to register the shares of Common Stock issued in the Closings and the Series D Warrant
Shares for resale under the Securities Act. The remaining 2015 Investor became a party to the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement
upon the consummation of the Second Closing. As a result, we initially registered for resale under a registration statement on
Form S-1 (File Number 333-206873, and such registration statement, the “
2015 Registration Statement
”) an aggregate
of 28,781,508 shares of Common Stock, representing the (i) 14,390,754 shares issued at the Closings of the 2015 Private Placement
Financing and (ii) 14,390,754 shares underlying the Series D Warrants.
The 2015 Registration Rights Agreement also obligates us to
register the resale of all securities covered by the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement on a short-form registration statement
on Form S-3 as soon as we become eligible to use Form S-3. This registration statement on Form S-3 (the “
2016 S-3 Registration
Statement
” and together with the 2015 Registration Statement, the “
Registration Statements
”) is being
filed to satisfy this obligation.
Our failure to satisfy certain deadlines with respect to the
Registration Statements and certain other requirements set forth in the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement may require us to pay
monetary penalties to the 2015 Investors and/or their assignees. Because the Series D Warrants are subject to certain adjustments
and permit, in certain circumstances, the “cashless” exercise thereof, the number of shares that will actually be
issuable upon any exercise thereof may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. In the event
of any such adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants, the provisions of the 2015 Registration
Rights Agreement would obligate us to register for resale any additional shares of our Common Stock that may then be issuable
upon exercise of the Series D Warrants.
Under the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement, subject to exception
in certain circumstances, we have agreed to keep at least one of the Registration Statements effective until the earlier of the
date on which all shares of Common Stock to be registered hereunder have been sold, and the twelve month anniversary of the date
the 2015 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, which will occur on October 27, 2016. If there is not an effective
registration statement covering the resale of any of the shares issued in or issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants issued
in the 2015 Private Placement Financing, then the selling securityholders will be entitled to exercise their Series D Warrants
on a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise” basis during the period when the shares issuable upon exercise
of such Series D Warrants are not so registered
Ten of the Selling Securityholders, or their respective affiliates,
have participated in other financings that were conducted by us. In particular and as set forth in the table below, (i) Intracoastal
Capital, LLC (“
Intracoastal
”) or its affiliates, were investors in the 2014 Private Placement Financing and
convertible notes offering that closed on March 13, 2015 (the “
Notes Offering
”); and (ii) Karen Carlin and
Ronald Bryan Woodard, Drake Partners Equity LLC (“
Drake
”), Jonathan Galli, Intracoastal, the Keyes Sulat Revocable
Trust (the “
Trust
”), Lorraine A. Malanga, James M. McKeone, Tungsten III, LLC (“
Tungsten
”),
Dr. Stephanie Plent, and Popham Management, LLC (“
Popham
”) and/or their respective affiliates were investors
in the Company’s private placement financing that concluded on May 26, 2016 (the “
2016 Private Placement Financing
”).
The table below summarizes the securities purchased by each of the Selling Securityholders, or their respective affiliates, in
the 2014 Private Placement Financing, the Notes Offering, and 2016 Private Placement Financing.

James R. Sulat, who was appointed as a member of the Board
on August 19, 2015, is a co-trustee of the Trust along with his wife. In accordance with the Company’s policies governing
related party transactions, Mr. Sulat disclosed his interest in the 2016 Private Placement Financing to the remaining members
of the Board, all of whom were disinterested in the transaction (the “
Disinterested Directors
”), and recused
himself from discussing or voting on matters related to the 2016 Private Placement Financing. On May 24, 2016, The Disinterested
Directors unanimously approved the 2016 Private Placement Financing.
In addition to participating in both the 2016 Private Placement
Financing and 2015 Private Placement Financing, the Trust also previously purchased a promissory note in the aggregate principal
amount of $75,000 and warrants from our wholly-owned subsidiary, ABS, on June 19, 2013. In contemplation of the Merger, the securities
purchased by the Trust were amended and restated to provide for (i) the conversion of all amounts owed under the promissory note
into an aggregate of 273,277 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the closing of the Merger, calculating to approximately
one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each $0.27 outstanding under the promissory note, and (ii) the cancellation
of the warrants in full upon the closing of the Merger. Accordingly, upon the closing of the Merger on June 26, 2013, the promissory
note was converted into 273,277 shares of our Common Stock and the warrants were cancelled.
On June 30, 2015, the Initial Closing Date, the Series D Warrants
had an exercise price lower than the market value of our Common Stock, which closed at $0.26 on the OTCQB on such date, resulting
in an aggregate discount to the market price of our Common Stock of $139,364. On July 2, 2015, the date of the Second Closing,
Series D Warrants had an exercise price higher than the market value of our Common Stock, which closed at $0.23 on the OTCQB on
such date, and therefore did not have any discount to the market price of our Common Stock as of such date. The tables below indicate
the total possible discount to the market price of our Common Stock as of June 30, 2015 for the shares of our Common Stock underlying
the Series D Warrants issued upon the Initial Closing, as well as similar information for the Series D Warrants issued upon the
Second Closing.

circumstances but that are not currently determinable, including the following: (a) potential
partial damages for failure to register and keep registered for the period specified
in the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement the Common Stock issued in the 2015 Private
Placement Financing or issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants (in a cash amount
equal to 1.5% of the price paid to us by each investor in the 2015 Private Placement
Financing on the date of and on each 30-day anniversary of such failure until the cure
thereof, with no quantitative cap to the aggregate amount of such); and (b) payments
in respect of claims for which we provide indemnification in the 2015 Registration Rights
Agreement. Although we intend to comply with the requirements of the Subscription Agreements
and the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement and do not currently expect to make any such
payments, it is possible that such payments may be required.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider all of the information in this
prospectus and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific risk factors incorporated by reference herein and included or
incorporated by reference in any applicable prospectus supplement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive proceeds from the sale of Common Stock
under this prospectus. We will, however, receive approximately $2,726,666 from the selling securityholders if they exercise all
of the Series D Warrants on a cash basis (assuming, in each case, no adjustments are made to the exercise price or number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants), which we expect we would use primarily for working capital purposes. We also
expect we may use a portion of any such proceeds we may receive to satisfy our indebtedness to MLSC. In particular, pursuant to
the Life MLSC Loan Agreement, we are required to amortize the principal and accrued interest under the MLSC Loan Agreement by
making 13 monthly payments of approximately $106,022 each to MLSC commencing on October 3, 2016. In addition, the remaining principal
and accrued interest under the MLSC Loan Agreement will become immediately due and payable on the earlier of (i) the completion
of a sale of substantially all of our assets, a change-of-control transaction or one or more financing transactions in which we
receive net proceeds of $5,000,000 at any time after October 3, 2016; and (ii) the occurrence of an event of default by us under
the MLSC Loan Agreement.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling securityholders will determine at what price they
may sell the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, at prices
related to the prevailing market price or at privately negotiated prices.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This prospectus covers the resale from time to time by the
selling securityholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 16,531,508 shares of our Common Stock that were
either previously issued or are issuable upon the exercise of our Series D Warrants. The shares of Common Stock being offered
by the selling securityholders were issued in, or issuable upon the exercise of Series D Warrants issued in the 2015 Private Placement
Financing, and consist of (i) 5,624,845 previously issued shares of Common Stock; and (ii) 10,906,663 shares of Common Stock that
may be issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants that remained outstanding as of November 16, 2016. For additional information
regarding the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and the Series D Warrants, see the description under “
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY | 2015 PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
” elsewhere in this prospectus.
We are registering the shares of Common Stock hereby pursuant
to the terms of the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement among us and the 2015 Investors in order to permit the selling securityholders
identified in the table below to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Because the shares of Commons Stock issuable upon
the exercise of our Series D Warrants are subject to adjustments if our shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined (by
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) and our Series D Warrants
permit, in certain circumstances, the “cashless” exercise thereof, the number of shares that will actually be issuable
upon any exercise thereof may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
The table below (i) lists the selling securityholders and other
information regarding the beneficial ownership (except with respect to Column 2, as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Act
”) and the rules and regulations thereunder) of our Common Stock
by each of the selling securityholders (including securities issued in transactions unrelated to the 2015 Private Placement Financing,
if any); (ii) has been prepared based upon information furnished to us by the selling securityholders; and, (iii) to our knowledge,
is accurate as of the date of this prospectus. The selling securityholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this
offering. See the disclosure under the heading “
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
” elsewhere in this prospectus. The selling
securityholders identified in the table below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares
since the date of this prospectus in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. Information concerning the selling securityholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement
this prospectus accordingly and as required.

Reflects the total number of shares of Common Stock held or issuable
to each selling securityholder including, to the extent applicable, (a) all remaining
securities issued in the 2015 Private Placement Financing, in each case without regard
to ownership limitations on the exercise of certain of the Series D Warrants as described
in footnote (2) below; (b) all remaining securities issued in the 2016 Private Placement
Financing, none of which are being registered in the 2016 S-3 Registration Statement
of which this prospectus forms a part and in each case without regard to the ownership
limitations on the exercise of certain of the Series E Warrants as described in footnote
(2) below; (c) all shares of Common Stock underlying the remaining Series A Warrants
issued in the 2014 Private Placement Financing held by such selling securityholder, none
of which are being registered in the 2016 S-3 Registration Statement of which this prospectus
forms a part and in each case without regard to ownership limitations on the exercise
of the Series A Warrants as described in footnote (2) below; and (d) all other securities
issued in transactions unrelated to the 2016 Private Placement Financing, 2015 Private
Placement Financing, 2014 Private Placement Financing or Notes Offering (collectively,
the “
Private Placement Financings
”), if any, none of which are being
registered in the 2016 S-3 Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part
and in each case without regard to any ownership limitations upon the exercise or conversion
of such securities.

Certain of the Series E and Series D Warrants issued in the 2016
Private Placement Financing and 2015 Private Placement Financing, respectively and all
the Series A Warrants issued in the 2014 Private Placement Financing contain ownership
limitations to prevent the exercise of such warrants in certain circumstances. In particular,
certain of the Series E Warrants provide that they shall not be exercisable in the event
and to the extent that the exercise thereof would result in the holder of the Series
E Warrant, together with its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership
of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s, would be deemed to beneficially
own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock;
provided, however
, the (i) holder, upon
notice to us, may increase or decrease this ownership limitation so long as the maximum
ownership limitation does not exceed 9.99% of the Company’s Common Stock; and (ii)
any increase in the ownership limitation will not become effective until the 61st day
after delivery of such notice. Similarly, certain of the Series D Warrants and all the
Series A Warrants provide that a selling securityholder may not exercise such warrants
to the extent (but only to the extent) that the exercise thereof would result in the
selling securityholder or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9% of
our Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise;
provided, however
, that
in the case of any Series D Warrant with an ownership limitation, the holder may waive
such ownership limitation, in which case such waiver will become effective sixty-one
(61) days after the holder’s delivery of such wavier notice.
|
As a result, the number of shares of Common Stock
reflected in this column as beneficially owned by each selling securityholder includes, to the extent applicable, (a) the shares
of Common Stock that were issued in the 2016 Private Placement Financing held by such selling securityholder and/or issuable upon
exercise of the Series E Warrants held by such selling securityholder which, in the case of any Series E Warrant with an ownership
limitation that has not been previously waived, is limited to the number of shares of Common Stock that such selling securityholder
has the right to acquire without it (along with any of its affiliates or any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common
Stock would be aggregated with the selling securityholder) beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or up to 9.99% at the securityholders’
discretion) of our currently outstanding Common Stock, based on 137,857,075 outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of November
16, 2016; (b) the shares of Common Stock that were issued in the Closings conducted for the 2015 Private Placement Financing held
by such selling securityholder and/or issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants held by such selling securityholder which,
in the case of any Series D Warrant with an ownership limitation that has not been previously waived, is limited to the number
of shares of Common Stock that such selling securityholder has the right to acquire without it or any of its affiliates beneficially
owning more than 4.9% of our currently outstanding Common Stock, based on 137,857,075 outstanding shares of our Common Stock as
of November 16, 2016; (c) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by such selling securityholder
that such selling securityholder has the right to acquire without it or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.9%
of our currently outstanding Common Stock, based on 137,857,075 outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of November 16, 2016;
and (d) shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by such selling securityholder that were acquired in transactions unrelated
to the Private Placement Financings.

For each selling securityholder, the totals reported in this column
reflect the total number of shares of Common Stock registered for resale under the 2016
S-3 Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part including (a) the shares
of Common Stock held by such selling securityholder that were issued in connection with
the Closings conducted for the 2015 Private Placement Financing and/or, to the extent
applicable, acquired upon the exercise of the Series D Warrants; and (b) shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants held by such selling securityholder,
in each case without taking into account the ownership limitations set forth in the Series
D Warrants as described in footnote (2).

For each selling securityholder and to the extent applicable,

DESCRIPTION OF
SECURITIES
General
Effective May 24, 2013, we amended our Articles of Incorporation
to increase our authorized Common Stock from 75,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares. Other than our Common Stock, we have no
other class or series of authorized capital stock.
As of November 16, 2016, we had 137,857,075 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding. Of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, we are registering under the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, 5,624,845 shares of Common Stock that were issued in connection with the 2015
Private Placement Financing and outstanding as of November 16, 2016.
The additional shares of our authorized stock available for
issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity
ownership of the holders of our Common Stock. The ability of our Board to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the Board’s
ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover situation but could also be used by the Board to make a change-in-control
more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management.
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock. You should refer to our articles of incorporation,
as amended, and bylaws, both of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous SEC filings, for additional information.
The summary below is qualified by provisions of applicable law.
Common
Stock
The holders of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors.
Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, and our amended and restated
bylaws provide that directors are elected by a plurality vote of the votes cast and entitled to vote on the election of directors
at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. Matters other than the election of directors to be
voted on by stockholders are generally approved if, at a duly convened stockholder meeting, the number of votes cast in favor
of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless a different vote for the action is required
by applicable law, our articles of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws. Applicable Nevada law requires any amendment
to our articles of incorporation to be approved by stockholders holding shares entitling them to exercise at least a majority
of the voting power of the Company. The holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to cash dividends as may be declared, if
any, by the Board from funds available. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, the holders of our Common
Stock (the “
Common Stockholders
”) will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution
to the holders. All rights of our Common Stockholders described in this paragraph could be subject to any preferential voting,
liquidation or other rights of any series of preferred stock that we may authorize and issue in the future. Our Common Stock is
presently traded on the QB tier of the OTC Marketplace under the trading symbol “
ARTH
”.
Description
of Series D Warrants Whose Underlying Common Stock is Registered Hereby
Each of the 2015 Investors was issued a Series D Warrant to
purchase up to a number of shares of our Common Stock equal to 100% of the shares of Common Stock purchased by such 2015 Investor
in the 2015 Private Placement Financing. The Series D Warrants had an initial exercise price of $0.25 per share, were exercisable
immediately upon their issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five years after their issuance date. The number of shares
of our Common Stock into which each of the Series D Warrants is exercisable and the exercise price therefor are subject to adjustment
as set forth in the Series D Warrants, including adjustments for stock subdivisions or combinations (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise). In addition, (i) at any time during the term of
the Series D Warrants, we may reduce the then-current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by our Board; and (ii) certain of the Series D Warrants provide that they shall not be exercisable in the event and to the extent
that the exercise thereof would result in the holder of the Series D Warrant or any of its affiliates beneficially owning more
than 4.9% of our Common Stock, but such ownership limitation may waived at the holder’s discretion, provided that such waiver
will not become effective until the 61
st
day after delivery of such waiver notice. In addition, if there is no effective
registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D Warrants as of certain time
periods (as provided in the Series D Warrants), the Series D Warrant holders may choose to exercise such Series D Warrants on
a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise” basis.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions of Nevada State Law
Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“
NRS
”),
which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of us
or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium
over market price for their shares of Common Stock as a result of a takeover bid.
Acquisition of Controlling Interest
The NRS contain provisions governing acquisition of a controlling
interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage
of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless
certain criteria are satisfied. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that these provisions will not apply to us or to any existing
or future stockholder or stockholders.
Combination with Interested Stockholder
The NRS contain provisions governing combinations of a Nevada
corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an “interested stockholder.” These provisions only apply
to a Nevada corporation that, at the time the potential acquirer became an interested stockholder, has a class or series of voting
shares listed on a national securities exchange, or has a class or series of voting shares traded in an “organized market”
and satisfies certain specified public float and stockholder levels. As we do not now meet those requirements, we do not believe
that these provisions are currently applicable to us. However, to the extent they become applicable to us in the future, they
may have the effect of delaying or making it more difficult to affect a change in control of the Company in the future.
A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in
a combination within two years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase
is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained,
then after the expiration of the two-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of
directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders,
or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:
|
•
|
the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder
within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination
or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or
it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
|
|
•
|
the market value per share on the date of announcement of the
combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
or
|
|
•
|
if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation
value of the preferred stock, if any.
|
Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder
as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares
of a corporation, and define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease,
exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder
of assets of the corporation:
|
•
|
having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the
aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;
|
|
•
|
having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the
aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or
|
|
•
|
representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income
of the corporation.

Agent
The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Empire

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering (i) the shares of Common
Stock issued; and (ii) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants, in each case, issued originally
to the 2015 Investors in the 2015 Private Placement Financing to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the selling
securityholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by
the selling securityholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register
the shares of Common Stock.
The selling securityholders may sell all
or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling securityholders
will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be
sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined
at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
|
·
|
on any national
securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted
at the time of sale;
|
|
·
|
in the over-the-counter
market;
|
|
·
|
in transactions
otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
·
|
through the
writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise;
|
|
·
|
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
block trades
in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases by
a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
·
|
an exchange
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately negotiated
transactions;
|
|
·
|
short sales
effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
was declared effective by the SEC (October 27, 2015);
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with a selling securityholder to sell a specified number of such shares at
a stipulated price per share;
|
|
·
|
a combination
of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
·
|
any other method
permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The selling securityholders may also sell
shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In
addition, the selling securityholders may transfer the shares of Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus.
If the selling securityholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the selling securityholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or
to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved but, except as set forth in a supplement to
this prospectus to the extent required, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110).
In connection with sales of the shares
of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling securityholders
may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions
and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling securityholders may also loan or pledge shares
of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling securityholders may pledge
or grant a security interest in some or all of the Series D Warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock
from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer and donate
the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances as permitted by the 2015 Subscription Agreements, the 2015 Registration Rights
Agreement, the Series D Warrants and all applicable law, in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling securityholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution
of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. In such
event, 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. Selling securityholders who are deemed to be “underwriters” under
the Securities Act (if any) will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to
certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under
the Exchange Act.
Each selling securityholder has informed
us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to engage in a distribution of the Common Stock. Upon us being notified in writing by a selling securityholder
that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the distribution of Common Stock, a prospectus supplement,
if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being distributed and the
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms
constituting compensation from the selling securityholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed
or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states,
the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state
or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Each selling securityholder may sell all,
some or none of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part. If sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock registered hereunder
will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates that acquire such shares.
The selling securityholders 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, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing
of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling securityholders and any other participating person.
To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of
Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect
the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities
with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We have agreed to keep this prospectus
until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the securities registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part have been sold; and (ii) the twelve month anniversary of the date the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part was declared effective by the SEC, which will occur on October 27, 2016. We have also agreed to pay all expenses of
the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $150,000 in total,
including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws;
provided, however
, a selling securityholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.
We have further agreed to indemnify or
provide contribution to the selling securityholders with respect to certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the
Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements. Each selling securityholder, severally and not jointly,
has agreed to indemnify or provide contribution to us with respect to certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling securityholder specifically for use
in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We have not entered into separate indemnification agreements
with our directors and officers. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any director or officer to the
fullest extent authorized by the laws of the State of Nevada. Our amended and restated bylaws further provide that we shall pay
the expenses incurred by an officer or director (acting in his capacity as such) in defending any action, suit or proceeding in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, subject to the delivery to us by or on behalf of such director
or officer of an undertaking to repay the amount of such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled
to be indemnified by us as authorized in our bylaws or otherwise.
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide us with the power to indemnify
any of our directors, officers, employees and agents as follows:
|
·
|
a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation,
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if he or she 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 any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful;
|
|
·
|
a corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she 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. Indemnification may not be made for any claim,
issue or matter as to which such a 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, the person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
|
|
·
|
to the extent
that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify him or her against expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with the defense.
|
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation may
make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
|
·
|
by the stockholders
of the corporation;
|
|
·
|
by the board
of directors of the corporation by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
|
|
·
|
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;
|
|
·
|
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; or
|
The Nevada Revised Statutes further provide that a corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him
and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status
as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. We have secured
a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. We expect that we will continue to maintain such a policy.
Item 16. Exhibits
The Index to Exhibits listing the exhibits required by Item
601 of Regulation S-K is located on the page immediately following the signature page to this registration statement.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
|
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
|
(a)
|
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
(b)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration statement;
|
|
(c)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement.
|
Provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(a),
(1)(b) and (1)(c) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form
of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.
|
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
|
|
(4)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
|
|
(a)
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
|
|
(b)
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2),
(b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating
to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing
the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed
to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date
such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract
of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule
430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating
to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however
, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract
of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement
or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
|
|
(5)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant
under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method
used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be
a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to
such purchaser:
|
|
(a)
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating
to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(b)
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;
|
|
(c)
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the registrant; and
|
|
(d)
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by a registrant to the purchaser.
|
|
(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 forgoing 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 Act 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
