    The Reporting Entities are each organized under the laws of Germany. Each of the Reporting Individuals are citizens of Germany with the exception of Pilar de la Huerta Martinez, who is a citizen of Spain, and Hansjoerg Plaggemars, who is a citizen of USA.
    Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     
    Reference is made to Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by BFAG, DB, VVB, DU, Mr. Zours, and Mr. Link on December 20, 2024. Since the date of such filing, none of the Reporting Persons named therein has acquired or disposed of any common stock of Biofrontera Inc. As none of the Reporting Persons has made any acquisition of securities of the Issuer required to be reported under Regulation 13D-G, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") (17 CFR 240.13d-1 through 240.13f-1), since the date of their last filing under Regulation 13D-G, this Item is inapplicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, On June 30, 2025, BFAG and its subsidiaries signed an agreement (the "Agreement") with the Issuer pursuant to which the Issuer acquired all rights in the United States (the "U.S. Rights") to Ameluz and RhodoLED. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Issuer will now pay a royalty of 12% in years where Ameluz revenue in the United States is less than $65.0 million and a royalty of 15% when Ameluz revenue in the United States exceeds $65.0 million. The royalty will replace the transfer pricing model under the Second Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement effective as of February 13, 2024 by and among the Issuer, BFAG and BFAG's subsidiaries. In exchange for the U.S. Rights, in addition to the aforementioned royalty and an agreement to transfer all costs associated with the U.S. business, BFAG received 3,019 shares of the Issuer's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will have voting rights on an as-converted to common stock basis, and will be convertible at the option of BFAG into a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to $1,000 divided by $0.6249, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Therefore, BFAG's 3,019 shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into 4,831,172 shares of the Issuer's common stock; provided however, that BFAG may not exercise such voting or conversion rights until the Issuer's stockholders approve the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof (the "Stockholder Approval").
    Item 4.Purpose of Transaction
     
    Explanatory Note: There is no agreement among the Reporting Persons, written or oral, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, voting or disposition of any securities of the Issuer, and the Reporting Persons disclaim the existence of any group among them within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") promulgated thereunder. All percentages herein are based on 9,446,197 shares of common stock outstanding as reported by the Issuer as of May 13, 2025, in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2025. The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4. Prior to November 2, 2021, the Issuer was a wholly owned subsidiary of BFAG. On November 2, 2021, the Issuer consummated its initial public offering ("IPO") of 3,600,000 units, each consisting of (i) one share of common stock of the Issuer and (ii) one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and such equity securities were registered under Section 12(b) of the Act. Immediately following the IPO, BFAG owned 8,000,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 69.0% of the Issuer's then outstanding shares of common stock. According to the Issuer's publicly-available filings with the SEC, following the IPO, the Issuer entered into numerous transactions involving the issuance of Issuer equity securities and/or rights, resulting in substantial dilution to BFAG. In addition, according to such filings, effective as of 11:59 pm, July 3, 2023, the Issuer effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its then outstanding shares of common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the 8,000,000 shares of Issuer common stock held by BFAG immediately following the IPO were converted into 400,000 shares of Issuer common stock. Other than the 3,019 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued to BFAG pursuant to the Agreement, BFAG has not acquired any equity securities of the Issuer since the IPO. BFAG has not sold any equity securities of the Issuer since the IPO. DB purchased the shares of common stock reported on this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D for investment purposes. In addition, DB sought to offset in part the economic dilution resulting to BFAG (and, indirectly, to BFAG's shareholders) as a result of the Issuer's repeated issuances of common stock and warrants, as described in the Issuer's publicly-available filings with the SEC. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the 1,177,680 shares of common stock of the Issuer purchased by DB were converted into 58,884 shares of common stock. Subject to market conditions, DB currently intends to acquire additional voting securities of the Issuer, or instruments convertible into voting securities of the Issuer, as DB may from time to time deem desirable for investment purposes. Any such acquisitions may be effected through open market purchases, block trades, privately-negotiated transactions, subscriptions made pursuant to rights offerings by the Issuer, or otherwise (including the exercise of any options or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, any such securities of the Issuer). Subject to market conditions, DB may also dispose of voting securities of the Issuer from time to time, as DB deems desirable. Any such dispositions may be effected through open market sales, block trades, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise. On December 13, 2021, DB filed an action against BFAG with the local court of Cologne, Germany. DB argues that the listing of the common stock by the Issuer on NASDAQ and the issuance of common stock to third parties as part of the IPO required approval at BFAG's general meeting. The local court of Cologne ruled that BFAG's board resolutions regarding the IPO of the Issuer are void because BFAG had to obtain its general meeting's approval. However, the former board members and members of the supervisory board of BFAG joined the litigation and lodged an appeal against such ruling to the Higher Regional Court of Cologne, Germany. The Higher Regional Court of Cologne, Germany rejected the litigation but permitted the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court. DB has not yet taken a decision on whether it will go to the Federal Supreme Court in this particular case. The Reporting Individuals, DU and VVB currently do not intend to acquire securities of the Issuer directly. BFAG, except for its contingent right to convert its shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Issuer's common stock, which it may do at any time upon the Issuer's receipt of the Stockholder Approval, does not currently intend to acquire additional securities of the Issuer directly. Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, effective as of June 30, 2025 and for three years following such date, for so long as BFAG holds any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, or any shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, BFAG shall have the right to appoint one member of the Issuer's board of directors if the board of directors consists of up to seven members, and two members if the board of directors consists of eight or more members. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no current plans or proposals with respect to (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (vii) changes to the Issuer's organizational documents or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (x) any action similar to any of the foregoing.
    Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer
    (a)
    The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons in the shares of the Issuer's common stock to which this statement relates is as follows: BFAG holds 400,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which constitutes 4.23% of the beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer's common stock. DB beneficially owns 458,884 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which constitutes 4.86% of the aggregate beneficial ownership of such class. The 458,884 shares beneficially owned consists of the 58,884 shares held directly by DB and the 400,000 shares held by BFAG. DB, directly and indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries, holds 42.6% of the outstanding voting shares in BFAG and, as of June 12, 2024, consolidates BFAG for financial reporting purposes. Mr. Link, a management board member of DB, is a member and serves as chairman of the supervisory board of BFAG. As chairman, Mr. Link is entitled to the casting vote in the event that any vote of the supervisory board would otherwise result in a tie. In addition, two other supervisory board members of BFAG, Mr. Hansjorg Plaggemars and Mr. Tobias Reich, serve as management board members of certain subsidiaries of DB. As a result of such stock ownership and relationships, DB may be deemed to have shared voting power and/or shared dispositive power over the shares of the Issuer held by BFAG. However, DB disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer held by BFAG. VVB beneficially owns 458,884 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which constitutes 4.86% of the aggregate beneficial ownership of such class. The 458,884 shares beneficially owned consists of the 58,884 shares held directly by DB and the 400,000 shares held by BFAG, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by DB. VVB owns a majority interest in DB, and therefore may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by DB. However, pursuant to a non-domination agreement between VVB and DB (the "Non-Domination Agreement"), VVB has agreed that it cannot exercise voting control (through voting more than 45%, directly or indirectly, of the shares) over DB. Accordingly, VVB disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by DB (whether directly or through BFAG) in excess of 45% of the voting power thereof. DU beneficially owns 458,884 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which constitutes 4.86% of the aggregate beneficial ownership of such class. The 458,884 shares beneficially owned consists of the 58,884 shares held directly by DB and the 400,000 shares held by BFAG, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by DB. DU owns a majority interest in VVB, which owns a majority interest in DB, and therefore may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by DB. However, based on the Non-Domination Agreement between VVB and DB, DU disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by DB in excess of 45% of the voting power thereof.
