2,638,042 shares of Common Stock
We are offering an aggregate of 2,638,042 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to certain institutional and accredited investors in a registered direct offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, filed as part of our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282297).

About Glucotrack, Inc.
The Company was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are currently developing an Implantable Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for persons with Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes.
The Company was founded with a mission to develop Glucotrack®, a non-invasive glucose monitoring device designed to help people with diabetes and pre-diabetics obtain glucose level readings without the pain, inconvenience, cost and difficulty of conventional (invasive) spot finger stick devices. The first generation Glucotrack, which successfully received CE Mark approval, obtained glucose measurements via a small sensor clipped onto one’s earlobe. A limited release beta test in Europe and the Middle East demonstrated the need for an updated product with improved accuracy and human factors. As the glucose monitoring landscape rapidly moved away from point-in-time measurement to continuous measurement since then, the Company recently determined that it would focus its efforts on developing its Implantable CBGM. As such, we have since withdrawn our CE Mark for Glucotrack and are no longer pursuing commercialization of this product or development of any further iterations.
The Company is currently developing an Implantable CBGM for use by Type 1 diabetes patients as well as insulin-dependent Type 2 patients. Implant longevity is key to the success of such a device. We have continued to evolve our sensor chemistry following our successful in-vitro feasibility study demonstrating that a minimum two-year implant life is highly probable with the current sensor design. Recently we announced a 3-year longevity is feasible leveraging both in-vitro and in-silico test results. We have also completed four animal studies with evolving prototype systems, all four of which consistently demonstrated a simple implant procedure, good functionality, and safety. The Company has also successfully demonstrated continuous glucose sensing in the epidural space via two additional animal trials, both of which demonstrated a simple implant procedure, good functionality, and safety. This latter approach is of importance for patients with painful diabetic neuropathy contemplating spinal cord stimulation therapy for their condition. The results of these animal trials were recently presented in poster form at the American Diabetes Association, the Diabetes Technology Society, and the DiabetesMine annual conferences.
A regulatory submission has been made for a first in human study. This will be an acute study intended to demonstrate device performance and safety. All preparatory clinical activities and applicable regulatory approvals are complete and the study is expected to initiate in Q4 2024. In parallel, the Company is also preparing for a long-term clinical trial expected to begin in late Q2 2024. As part of this effort, the Company is working towards ISO13485 certification, an internationally agreed-upon standard of quality system requirements for the design, production, distribution, and sale of medical devices. The Company has successfully completed the first audit and is scheduled to complete the second audit in December 2024. A successful second audit results in certification of compliance to the standard, which is recognized and accepted by the FDA, the European Union, and many other geographies worldwide.
We believe our technology, if successful, has the potential to be more accurate, more convenient and have a longer duration than other implantable glucose monitors that are either in the market or currently under development.
Our Senior Management team includes; CEO and President, Paul V. Goode PhD, who has a decorated career developing innovative medical technologies, including at Dexcom and MiniMed, CFO, Peter Wulff, James P. Thrower PhD, Vice President of Engineering, a seasoned executive formerly of Sterling Medical Devices, Mindray DS USA and Dexcom, Inc., Mark Tapsak PhD, Vice President of Sensor Technology, a medical research scientist who brings over 25 years of experience in the diabetes industry, including previous senior roles at Dexcom and Medtronic, Drinda Benjamin, Vice President of Marketing, a medical device professional with over 20 years of experience in the medical device and diabetes industry with senior roles at Intuity Medical, Senseonics, Abbott Diabetes, and Medtronic Diabetes, Vincent Wong, Vice President of Quality, a medical device professional with 15 years of experience in quality system for implantable medical device manufacturing with senior roles at Cirtec Medical and TOMZ, and Sandie Martha, Vice President Clinical Operations, a medical device professional with over 20 years of experience in the medical device and diabetes industry with senior roles at Dexcom and GlySens.

Recent Developments
Completion of Preclinical Study
On May 16, 2024, we announced that our implantable continuous glucose monitor successfully completed 30 days of a 60-day long-term preclinical study on measuring glucose in the epidural space. The Glucotrack sensor, implanted in the epidural space of animals, closely tracked both blood glucose and a commercially available subcutaneous CGM throughout the 30-day period. The implantation procedure took approximately 20 minutes, and the animals recovered without complications. No abnormal clinical signs or findings in the spinal cord or surrounding tissues were observed at the 30-day mark. On June 13, 2024, we announced that the 60-day long-term study was completed, demonstrating the feasibility of glucose monitoring in the epidural space. No abnormal clinical signs were observed throughout the study period, and no abnormal findings were observed in the spinal cord or surrounding tissues during post-explant analysis. The study also confirmed that the implanted sensor did not cause any delayed latent effects over the long-term period, which is particularly important as a complete healing process in animal studies with implanted devices may take several weeks. With the completion of this study, the durability of the epidural approach for continuous glucose monitoring has now been confirmed over the 60-day period.
ISO 13485:2016 Certification
On January 21, 2025, we announced that we received ISO 13485:2016 certification from the British Standards Institute (“BSI”). We successfully completed Stage I and Stage II Assessments performed by the notified body, BSI, to verify it has established, and is maintaining, a quality management system that meets all requirements of the ISO 13485:2016 standard for design and development of the Company’s products. ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard for quality management systems, created by the International Organization for Standardization to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. It builds on the ISO 9001 standard with additional regulatory requirements specific to medical devices. In 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the Quality Management System Regulation Final Rule, which harmonizes U.S. requirements with global standards through the adoption of ISO 13485 for medical devices. ISO 13485 is also strongly recommended and widely used in the European Union.
Reverse Stock Split
2024 Reverse Stock Split
We filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment (the “May Certificate of Amendment”), to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), which became effective at 4:30 p.m. on May 17, 2024 (the “Effective Time”) to implement a one-for-five (1:5) reverse stock split (the “2024 Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of our Common Stock. The 2024 Reverse Stock Split was approved by our stockholders at the 2024 annual meeting of the stockholders on April 26, 2024.
As a result of the 2024 Reverse Stock Split, every five (5) shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the 2024 Reverse Stock Split, and any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the 2024 Reverse Stock Split was entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price per share of the Common Stock on Nasdaq at the close of business on the date prior to the Effective Time.
Following the 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding was proportionally reduced. The shares of Common Stock underlying the outstanding stock options and warrants were similarly adjusted along with corresponding adjustments to their exercise prices. The 2024 Reverse Stock Split also proportionally reduced the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.
2025 Reverse Stock Split
We filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “2025 Certificate of Amendment”) which became effective at 4:30 p.m. on February 3, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “2025 Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of our Common Stock. The 2025 Reverse Stock Split was approved by our stockholders at the special meeting of our stockholders held on January 3, 2025 (the “Special Meeting”).
In addition, the stockholders approved at the Special Meeting an increase in our authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000, as well as the full issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable by us upon the exercise of Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants (further described below).
S-4 |
Increase in Authorized Common Stock
On January 3, 2025, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.
Nasdaq Listing Status
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). On May 21, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, indicated that we no longer meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Failure to meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement is a basis for delisting our Common Stock.
Because we were not in compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) at the time we were notified about the non-compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, we were not eligible to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Staff. However, we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and paid the fee, which has resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. The hearing took place on July 9, 2024, and on August 5, 2024, we received the decision of the Panel, and they granted us an extension until November 18, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
On November 19, 2024, the Company received a compliance letter (the “Compliance Letter”) from Nasdaq, informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Compliance Letter noted, that because the Company’s bid price has closed below the minimum required by the Bid Price Rule following the November Offering (defined below), the Panel has determined to impose on the Company a Discretionary Panel Monitor, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), for a period of one year from the date of the Compliance Letter, to ensure that the Company maintains long-term compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Bid Price Rule, and all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
On December 31, 2024, we received a notification from Nasdaq that for at least the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time before June 30, 2025, the bid price of our Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us with a written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Rule and the matter will be deemed closed.
If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by June 30, 2025, we may be eligible for an additional 180-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 Rule, and would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Bid Price Rule, or other Nasdaq listing requirements.
Financing
$10.0 Million Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On November 12, 2024, we announced the launch of a “best efforts” public offering (the “November Offering”) for the offer and sale of an aggregate of (i) 121,867 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, (ii) 237,845 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 237,845 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) in lieu of Shares, (iii) 359,712 Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 359,712 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant Shares”) and (iv) 359,712 Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 359,712 shares of Common Stock (“the “Series B Warrant Shares” together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). Each Share or Pre-Funded Warrant, as applicable, was sold together with one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock and one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The public offering price for each Share and accompanying Common Warrants was $27.80, and the public offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants was $27.78.
S-5 |
The Pre-Funded Warrants had an exercise price of $0.02 per share, were exercisable immediately and expire when exercised in full. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, there are no Pre-Funded Warrants issued and outstanding.
Each Series A Common Warrant has an exercise price per share of $36.20 and are exercisable as of January 3, 2025 (the “Initial Exercise Date” or the “Stockholder Approval Date”). The Series B Warrants also contain an alternative cashless exercise feature, pursuant to which the holder of a Series B Warrant can exchange such Series B Warrant to acquire, on a cashless basis, additional shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a formula set forth in the Series B Warrants that provides for the acquisition of up to 300% of the number of shares that could otherwise be purchased under such Series B Warrant pursuant to a cash exercise of such Series B Warrant. The Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price per share of $36.20 and are exercisable as of the Initial Exercise Date. The Series B Warrants will expire on the two and one-half year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Common Warrants are subject to certain adjustments, as set forth therein (the “Adjustments”). Our stockholders approved the issuance of Common Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Common Warrants at the Special Meeting on January 3, 2025.
Beginning on January 6, 2025, through January 22, 2025, the Company received exchange notices from certain holders of the Series B Warrants, with respect to an aggregate of 359,512 of the Series B Warrants, requiring the delivery of 6,971,965 shares of Common Stock. The remaining 200 Series B Warrants are exchangeable for an aggregate of approximately 3,879 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend and split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction).
In a private placement offering completed concurrently with the Offering (the “Concurrent Private Offering”), an existing investor, which is controlled by a director of the Company (the “Investor”), converted approximately $4,093,112 of debt, which represented the then outstanding principal and accrued interest under a convertible promissory note dated July 30, 2024 (the “Debt”). The Debt was converted to Common Stock and Common Warrants on substantially the same terms as the November Offering, resulting in the issuance of 132,036 shares of Common Stock, 132,036 accompanying Series A Common Warrants, and 132,036 accompanying Series B Common Warrants, based on a conversion price of $31.00 per share, which is equal to the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 12, 2024.
In addition, concurrently with the Offering, the Company converted on substantially the same terms as the Offering, three convertible promissory notes, each dated July 18, 2024, with an aggregate outstanding principal and accrued interest in the amount of $304,494 (the “July 18 Notes”). The July 18 Notes were converted at a conversion price of $31.20, which is equal to the Floor Price as defined in the July 18 Notes, for an aggregate of 9,759 shares of common stock, 9,759 Series A Warrants, and 9,759 Series B Warrants (the “July 18 Note Conversion”).
The Common Stock and the Common Warrants issued in connection with the Concurrent Private Offering and the July 18 Note Conversion are not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
July 30 Note and Warrants
On July 30, 2024, we entered into a convertible promissory note and three warrant agreements (the “July 30 Warrants”) with the Investor, providing for the private placement of a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of 4,000,000 (the “July 30 Note”). The July 30 Note was not convertible unless and until approved at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which occurred on September 24, 2024. The July 30 Note bore simple interest at a rate of eight percent (8%). As issued, the July 30 Warrants become exercisable 12 months after issuance and have a term of 10 years. The first July 30 Warrant is for 106,667 shares at $37.50 per share. The second July 30 Warrant is for 76,191 shares at $52.50 per share. The third July 30 Warrant is for 59,259 shares at $67.50 per share. Following the closing of the Concurrent Private Offering, the July 30 Note is no longer outstanding and each of the July 30 Warrants is immediately exercisable.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and all of the other information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If any of these risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we think are immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering
Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.
The price per share of our Common Stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding Common Stock prior to this offering. Based on an offering price of $1.15 per share, we estimate our as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after this offering will be $(0.47). As a result, purchasers of Common Stock in this offering will experience an immediate decrease of $(1.62) per share in net tangible book value of our Common Stock. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement. To the extent outstanding stock options, warrants, or RSUs, are exercised or vested, as applicable, there will be further dilution to new investors. New investors may be further diluted in the event Common Stock is issued pursuant to the Plan. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our Common Stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Common Stock offered in this offering.
We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering, if any. We may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.
Although we currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, in the manner described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement, we will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock and the Securities Market
The market price of our Common Stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control, and stockholders could lose all or part of their investment.
The market price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:
● | future announcements about us, our collaborators, or competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations, or new products and services; | |
● | depletion of cash reserves; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
● | operating results that fall below expectations; | |
● | announcements by us relating to any strategic relationship; | |
● | Sales, or the perception that future sales may occur, of equity securities or issuance of debt; | |
● | industry developments; | |
● | changes in state, provincial, or federal regulations affecting us and our industry; | |
● | the continued large fluctuations in major stock market indexes which causes investors to sell our Common Stock; | |
● | economic, political, and other external factors; and | |
● | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
In addition, the stock market in general, and the stock companies in industries like ours, in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the issuer. During the 12-month period ended February 4, 2025, our Common Stock has traded as high as $99.00 per share and as low as $1.024 per share.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock. These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our Common Stock to fluctuate, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Common Stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our Common Stock. While the market price of our Common Stock may respond to developments regarding operating performance and prospects, expansion plans, and developments regarding our industry, we believe that the extreme volatility we experienced in recent periods reflects market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business, our actual or expected operating performance, our financial condition, or macro or industry fundamentals, and we do not know if these dynamics will continue or how long they will last. Under these circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Common Stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.

If shares of our Class A Common Stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell such shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The OTC Bulletin Board does not meet such requirements and if the price of shares of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 and such shares are no longer listed on a national securities exchange such as the Nasdaq, shares of our Common Stock may be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, at least two business days prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver to the customer a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information and to obtain from the customer a signed and dated acknowledgment of receipt of such document. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive: (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for shares of our Common Stock, and therefore, our stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
If we are unable to continue to satisfy the applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our Common Stock could be delisted, and we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences.
In order to remain listed on Nasdaq, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.
For example, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on Nasdaq to comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. On May 21, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, indicated that we no longer meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Failure to meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement is a basis for delisting our Common Stock.
Because we were not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule at the time we were notified about the non-compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, we were not eligible to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Staff. However, we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and paid the fee, which has resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. The hearing took place on July 9, 2024, and on August 5, 2024, we received the decision of the Panel, and they granted us an extension until November 18, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
On November 19, 2024, the Company received the Compliance Letter from Nasdaq, informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Compliance Letter noted, that because the Company’s bid price has closed below the minimum required by the Bid Price Rule following the November Offering (defined below), the Panel has determined to impose on the Company a Discretionary Panel Monitor, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), for a period of one year from the date of the Compliance Letter, to ensure that the Company maintains long-term compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Bid Price Rule, and all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
On December 31, 2024, we received a notification from Nasdaq that for at least the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time before June 30, 2025, the bid price of our Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide us with a written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Rule and the matter will be deemed closed.
If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by June 30, 2025, we may be eligible for an additional 180-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 Rule, and would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
S-10 |
There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Bid Price Rule, or other Nasdaq listing requirements. If we are not able to comply with applicable listing standards, our shares of Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
If Nasdaq delists our Common Stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet comply with the Bid Price Rule, or any other listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including, but not limited to:
● | a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; | |
● | a reduction in liquidity and market price of our Common Stock; | |
● | a reduction in the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; | |
● | a determination that our Common Stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Common Stock; | |
● | a limited amount of analyst coverage; and | |
● | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Common Stock under this prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, as described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds in the category of general corporate purposes and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering.
The precise amount and timing of the application of these proceeds, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, such as our funding requirements and the availability and costs of other funds. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Depending on the outcome of our efforts and other unforeseen events, our plans and priorities may change and we may apply the net proceeds of this offering in different manners than we currently anticipate.
The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing instruments. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations and you may experience further dilution if we issue additional equity securities in future fundraising transactions.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations. To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Further, the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants may result in further dilution of your investment.

We expect the net proceeds to us from this offering after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses to be approximately $2.6 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered by this prospectus for general corporate and working capital purposes.
In this offering, we are offering shares of our Common Stock.
Authorized Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), the rights and preferences of which may be established from time to time by our Board.

Common Stock
Voting
For all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share registered in his or her name on our books. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. As a result, holders of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock can elect all of the directors who are up for election in a particular year.
Dividends
If our board of directors declares a dividend, holders of Common Stock will receive payments from our funds that are legally available to pay dividends. However, this dividend right is subject to any preferential dividend rights we may grant to the persons who hold Preferred Stock, if any is outstanding.
Liquidation and Dissolution
If we are liquidated or dissolve, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to the right to receive ratably, all of the assets and funds that remain after we pay our liabilities and any amounts we may owe to the persons who hold Preferred Stock, if any is outstanding.
Other Rights and Restrictions
Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive or subscription rights, and they have no right to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. Our Common Stock is not subject to redemption by us. The rights, preferences and privileges of common stockholders are subject to the rights of the stockholders of any series of Preferred Stock which we may designate in the future. Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws do not restrict the ability of a holder of Common Stock to transfer his or her shares of Common Stock.
Market, Symbol and Transfer Agent
Our Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GCTK”. The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Pl, Woodmere, NY 11598, and its telephone number is (212) 828-8436.

If you invest in our Common Stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value of our Common Stock as of September 30, 2024 was $(4.0) million, or $(13.94) per share of Common Stock based upon 288,602 shares outstanding. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
After giving effect to the sale of 2,638,042 shares Common Stock and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been $(1.4) million, or $(0.47) per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $13.47 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.62 per share to new investors in this offering.

Overview
The Company (formerly known as Integrity Applications, Inc.) was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are a medical device company focused on the development of an Implantable Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for persons with Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes (the “Glucotrack CBGM Product”).
The Company was founded with a mission to develop Glucotrack®, a noninvasive glucose monitoring device designed to help people with diabetes and pre-diabetics obtain glucose level readings without the pain, inconvenience, cost and difficulty of conventional (invasive) spot finger stick devices. The first generation Glucotrack, which successfully received CE Mark approval, obtained glucose measurements via a small sensor clipped onto one’s earlobe. A limited release beta test in Europe and the Middle East demonstrated the need for an updated product with improved accuracy and human factors. As the glucose monitoring landscape rapidly moved away from point-in-time measurement to continuous measurement since then, the Company recently determined that it would focus its efforts on developing its Implantable continuous glucose monitor (“CGM”). As such, we have since withdrawn our CE Mark for Glucotrack and are no longer pursuing commercialization of this product or development of any further iterations.
The Company is currently developing an Implantable CBGM for use by Type 1 diabetes patients as well as insulin-dependent Type 2 patients. Implant longevity is key to the success of such a device. We have continued to evolve our sensor chemistry following our successful in-vitro feasibility study demonstrating that a minimum two-year implant life is highly probable with the current sensor design. Recently we announced a 3-year longevity is feasible leveraging both in-vitro and in-silico test results. We have also completed our animal study with an initial prototype system which demonstrated a simple implant procedure and good functionality. The results of both were recently presented in poster form at the American Diabetes Association annual conference. The Company has also initiated a longer-term animal trial (to support projected longevity studies) as well as development of its commercial device. A regulatory submission has been made for a first in human study, expected to initiate in Q3 2024. Further to the above progress on our CBGM product, we have also successfully demonstrated continuous glucose sensing in the epidural space. This latter approach is of importance for patients with painful diabetic neuropathy contemplating spinal cord stimulation therapy for their condition. We believe our technology, if successful, has the potential to be more accurate, more convenient and have a longer duration than other implantable glucose monitors that are either in the market or currently under development.
Our Senior Management team includes Chief Executive Officer and President, Paul V. Goode PhD, who has a decorated career developing innovative medical technologies, including at DexCom, Inc. (“DexCom”) and MiniMed; CFO, James Cardwell, CPA who has over 16 years of experience as a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer with a concentration in both SEC financial reporting and tax compliance; James P. Thrower PhD, Vice President of Engineering, a seasoned executive formerly of Sterling Medical Devices, Mindray DS USA and DexCom; Mark Tapsak PhD, Vice President of Sensor Technology, a medical research scientist who brings over 25 years of experience in the diabetes industry, including previous senior roles at DexCom and Medtronic plc (“Medtronic”); and Drinda Benjamin, Vice President of Marketing, a medical device professional with over 20 years of experience in the medical device and diabetes industry with senior roles at Intuity Medical, Senseonics, Abbott Diabetes, and Medtronic. Luis J. Malavé, formerly of Insulet Corp, Medtronic and MiniMed is the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”). Several highly talented and accomplished executives joined the Company as senior advisors to the Board. These include Daniel McCaffrey MBA MA, a world-renowned behavioral scientist and digital health expert formerly at Samsung Health and Dexcom, Inc., and Dr. David C. Klonoff, world renowned endocrinologist and diabetes technology thought leader. We intend to continue to invest in our talent and to expand and strengthen all areas within the Company.

Recent Developments
Completion of Preclinical Study
On May 16, 2024, we announced that our implantable continuous glucose monitor successfully completed 30 days of a 60-day long-term preclinical study on measuring glucose in the epidural space. The Glucotrack sensor, implanted in the epidural space of animals, closely tracked both blood glucose and a commercially available subcutaneous CGM throughout the 30-day period. The implantation procedure took approximately 20 minutes, and the animals recovered without complications. No abnormal clinical signs or findings in the spinal cord or surrounding tissues were observed at the 30-day mark. On June 13, 2024, we announced that the 60-day long-term study was completed, demonstrating the feasibility of glucose monitoring in the epidural space. No abnormal clinical signs were observed throughout the study period, and no abnormal findings were observed in the spinal cord or surrounding tissues during post-explant analysis. The study also confirmed that the implanted sensor did not cause any delayed latent effects over the long-term period, which is particularly important as a complete healing process in animal studies with implanted devices may take several weeks. With the completion of this study, the durability of the epidural approach for continuous glucose monitoring has now been confirmed over the 60-day period.
Reverse Stock Split
We filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) which became effective at 4:30 p.m. on May 17, 2024 (the “Effective Time”) to effect a one-for-five (1:5) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of our common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by our stockholders at the 2024 annual meeting of the stockholders on April 26, 2024.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every five (5) shares of issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, and any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of common stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing price per share of the common stock on Nasdaq at the close of business on the date prior to the Effective Time.
Following the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding was proportionally reduced from 27,392,996 shares to approximately 5,478,599 shares. The shares of common stock underlying the outstanding stock options and warrants were similarly adjusted along with corresponding adjustments to their exercise prices. The Reverse Stock Split also proportionally reduced the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.

Nasdaq Listing Status
Nasdaq Stockholder Equity Requirement
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). On May 21, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, indicated that we no longer meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Failure to meet the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement is a basis for delisting our common stock.
Because we were under review for failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share) at the time we were notified about the non-compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, we were not eligible to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Staff. However, we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and paid the fee, which has resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. The hearing took place on July 9, 2024, and on August 5, 2024, we received the decision of the Panel granting us an extension until November 18, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the hearing or that we will be able to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, and maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. Please also read carefully the section below titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
The risk factors set forth below supplement the risk factors previously disclosed and should be read together with the risk factors incorporated by reference herein and any additional risk factors that we may include in subsequent periodic filings with the SEC.
We have debt which is secured by all our assets. If there is an occurrence of an uncured event of default, the lender can foreclose on all our assets, which would make any stock in the Company worthless.
On July 30, 2024, we entered into a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of 4,000,000 (the “Note”) with a certain lender (the “lender”). The Note is secured by a first-priority security interest on all Company assets. The Note is due and payable in cash on the earlier of: (a) the twelve (12) month anniversary of Note, or (b) the date of closing of a Sale Transaction (as defined in the Note). The Note is secured by a first-priority security interest on all Company assets. In the event we are unable to make payments, when due, on our secured debt, the lender may foreclose on all our assets. In the event the lender forecloses on our assets, any stock in the Company would have no value. Our ability to make payments on secured debt, when due, will depend upon our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. At the moment, we have no funding commitments that have not been previously disclosed, and we may not obtain any in the future.
We rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our product.
We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial production of Glucotrack CBGM, other than a prototype lab. We have no experience in medical device manufacturing and lack the resources and the capability to manufacture the Glucotrack CBGM on a commercial scale.
If our manufacturing partners are unable to produce our products in the amounts, timing or pricing that we require, we may not be able to establish a contract and obtain a sufficient alternative supply from another supplier on a timely basis and in the quantities or pricing we require. We expect to depend on third-party contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future.
Glucotrack CBGM does, and our future product candidates, if any, likely will require precise, high quality manufacturing. Any of our contract manufacturers will be subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance with quality system regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and other applicable government regulations and corresponding standards. If our contract manufacturers fail to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards in compliance with quality system regulations, we may experience manufacturing errors resulting in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or interruptions of production or failures in product testing or delivery, delay or prevention of filing or approval of marketing applications for our products, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business.
Any performance failure on the part of our contract manufacturers could delay clinical development or regulatory clearance or approval of our product candidates or commercialization of our future product candidates, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting in additional losses. In addition, our dependence on a third-party for manufacturing may adversely affect our future profit margins. Our ability to replace an existing manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers is limited, and the FDA must approve any replacement manufacturer before it can begin manufacturing our product candidates. Such approval would require additional non-clinical testing and compliance inspections. It may be difficult or impossible for us to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all.

Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy.
All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, our examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our expectations and beliefs, but they are inherently uncertain. We may not realize our expectations, and our beliefs may not prove correct.

● | our ability to internally develop new inventions and intellectual property; | |
● | the existence of undetected software defects in our products and our failure to resolve detected defects in a timely manner; | |
● | our ability to remain a going concern; | |
● | our ability to raise additional capital and the risk of such capital not being available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all; | |
● | our ability to be profitable; | |
● | interpretations of current laws and the passages of future laws; | |
● | acceptance of our business model by investors; | |
● | intense competition in our industry and the markets in which we operate, and our ability to successfully compete; | |
● | the risks inherent with international operations; |
6 |
● | the impact of evolving information security and data privacy laws on our business and industry; | |
● | the impact of governmental regulations on our business and industry; | |
● | our ability to protect our intellectual property and our ability to operate our business without infringing on the rights of others; | |
● | the risk of being delisted from Nasdaq if we fail to meet any of its applicable listing requirements; and | |
● | the difficulty of predicting our quarterly revenues and operating results and the chance of such revenues and results falling below analyst or investor expectations, which could cause the price of our common stock to fall. |
All forward-looking statements in this prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference, apply only as of the date made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Reverse Stock Split
On May 17, 2024, we effected a 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split of our common stock. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the par value per share of our common stock remained unchanged at $0.001 per share. Concurrently with the Reverse Stock Split, we reduced our authorized shares of common stock proportionately. Our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024 that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus are presented without giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of any securities offered under this prospectus for general corporate purposes unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. General corporate purposes may include research and development and clinical development costs to support the advancement of our product; repayment and refinancing of debt; working capital; and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to our own, although we have no commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus. Pending these uses, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities, or may hold such proceeds as cash, until they are used for their stated purpose. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus our intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of any securities sold pursuant to the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.

This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the securities we may offer from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The particular terms of any security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each of par value $0.001 per share. Except as otherwise provided in the certificate of designation of any series of preferred stock we may issue, the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock.
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 5,478,436 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Unless stated otherwise, the following discussion summarizes the term and provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) and our bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”).
Common Stock
Registration
Our common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Dividends
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any preferred stock then outstanding.
Voting
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held of record for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights.
Distributions on Liquidation
In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets legally available after the payment of all our debts and other liabilities, subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Other Rights
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights, and no sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock.
Relationship to Preferred Stock
Under our Charter, our board of directors is authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to designate and issue up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon our liquidation.
11 |
The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series and determine the number of shares in the series and its rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible future financings and acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company. See the section entitled “Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Charter, our Bylaws and Delaware Law—Undesignated Preferred Stock” for more information.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our Charter provides for 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of our common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.
Other Convertible Securities
In July 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Board was authorized to grant options exercisable into common stock of the Company. On April 26, 2024, the Company adopted the Glucotrack, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). Following the adoption of the 2024 Plan, no additional stock awards will be granted under the 2010 Plan, provided that any awards outstanding will continue to be outstanding and in effect, until they are exercised, vest or are terminated under the provisions of the 2010 Plan. The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to provide employees, directors, and consultants with opportunities to acquire the Company’s common stock, or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares. Equity awards and equity-linked compensatory opportunities are intended to assist in further aligning the interests of directors, employees, and consultants with those of our stockholders. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. Up to 535,127 shares of our common stock may be issued under the 2024 Plan.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Charter, our Bylaws and Delaware Law
Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and of our Charter and Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and, as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions are also designed in part to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. However, we believe that the advantages gained by protecting our ability to negotiate with any unsolicited and potentially unfriendly acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including those priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, the negotiation of such proposals could improve their terms.
12 |
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
● | before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; | |
● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or | |
● | at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
● | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; | |
● | any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; | |
● | subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; | |
● | subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and | |
● | the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
Board Composition and Filling Vacancies
In accordance with our Charter, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. These provisions may discourage a third-party from voting to remove incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by that removal with its own nominees.
Meetings of Stockholders
Our Charter and our Bylaws provide that only a majority of the members of our board of directors then in office, the Chairman of the Board, or the President may call special meetings of stockholders, and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before the meeting. These provisions may discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer, even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting stock, because the person or entity could only take action at a duly called stockholders’ meeting relating to the business specified in the notice of meeting and not by written consent.
13 |
Advance Notice Requirements
Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the notice for the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. These provisions could delay stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock until the next stockholders’ meeting.
Amendment to our Charter and our Bylaws
As required by the DGCL, any amendment of our Charter must first be approved by a majority of our board of directors, and if required by law or our Charter, must thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class.
Our Bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, subject to any limitations set forth in the Bylaws, provided that, any Bylaw adopted or amended by the directors of the Company, and any powers thereby conferred, may be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters
For a discussion of liability and indemnification, see “Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers”.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed VStock Transfer, LLC to serve as transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.
We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act. We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from, reports that we file with the SEC.
The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities.
General
The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us.
We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount,” or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of debt securities being offered, including:
● | the title of the series of debt securities; | |
● | any limit upon the aggregate principal amount that may be issued; | |
● | the maturity date or dates; | |

15 |
● | if the price (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount thereof) at which such debt securities will be issued is a price other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or if applicable, the portion of the principal amount of such debt securities that is convertible into another security or the method by which any such portion shall be determined; | |
● | the interest rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the dates interest will be payable and the regular record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates; | |
● | our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period; | |
● | if applicable, the date or dates after which, or the period or periods during which, and the price or prices at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional or provisional redemption provisions and the terms of those redemption provisions; | |
● | the date or dates, if any, on which, and the price or prices at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt securities and the currency or currency unit in which the debt securities are payable; | |
● | the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof; | |
● | any and all terms, if applicable, relating to any auction or remarketing of the debt securities of that series and any security for our obligations with respect to such debt securities and any other terms which may be advisable in connection with the marketing of debt securities of that series; | |
● | whether the debt securities of the series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of a global security or securities; the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such global security or securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual securities; and the depositary for such global security or securities; | |
● | if applicable, the provisions relating to conversion or exchange of any debt securities of the series and the terms and conditions upon which such debt securities will be so convertible or exchangeable, including the conversion or exchange price, as applicable, or how it will be calculated and may be adjusted, any mandatory or optional (at our option or the holders’ option) conversion or exchange features, the applicable conversion or exchange period and the manner of settlement for any conversion or exchange; | |
● | if other than the full principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of debt securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; | |
● | additions to or changes in the covenants applicable to the particular debt securities being issued, including, among others, the consolidation, merger or sale covenant; | |
● | additions to or changes in the events of default with respect to the securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the holders to declare the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to such securities to be due and payable; | |
● | additions to or changes in or deletions of the provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance; | |
● | additions to or changes in the provisions relating to satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; | |
● | additions to or changes in the provisions relating to the modification of the indenture both with and without the consent of holders of debt securities issued under the indenture; | |
● | the currency of payment of debt securities if other than U.S. dollars and the manner of determining the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars; | |
● | whether interest will be payable in cash or additional debt securities at our or the holders’ option and the terms and conditions upon which the election may be made; | |
● | the terms and conditions, if any, upon which we will pay amounts in addition to the stated interest, premium, if any and principal amounts of the debt securities of the series to any holder that is not a “United States person” for federal tax purposes; |
16 |
● | any restrictions on transfer, sale or assignment of the debt securities of the series; and | |
● | any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities, any other additions or changes in the provisions of the indenture, and any terms that may be required by us or advisable under applicable laws or regulations. |
Conversion or Exchange Rights
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale
Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets (other than any subsidiary of ours) must assume all of our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, as appropriate.
Events of Default under the Indenture
Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
● | if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; | |
● | if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any; | |
● | if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and | |
● | if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. |
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal mount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.
17 |
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.
Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:
● | the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and | |
● | subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding. |
A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:
● | the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series; | |
● | the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, | |
● | such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and | |
● | the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer. |
These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.
We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.
Modification of Indenture; Waiver
We and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:
● | to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series; | |
● | to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities—Consolidation, Merger or Sale”; | |
● | to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities; | |
● | to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture; | |
● | to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture; | |
● | to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect; | |
● | to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under “Description of Debt Securities—General” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities; | |
● | to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or |
18 |
● | to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. |
In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:
● | extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series; | |
● | reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or | |
● | reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver. |
Discharge
Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:
● | provide for payment; | |
● | register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series; | |
● | replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series; | |
● | pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series; | |
● | maintain paying agencies; | |
● | hold monies for payment in trust; | |
● | recover excess money held by the trustee; | |
● | compensate and indemnify the trustee; and | |
● | appoint any successor trustee. |
In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
19 |
Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.
We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.
If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:
● | issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or | |
● | register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part. |
Information Concerning the Trustee
The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.
We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.
All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 is applicable.

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we indicate in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement, which includes this prospectus.
General
We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, and, or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock, and, or preferred stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.
We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate warrant agreement. We will enter into the warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
● | the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered; | |
● | the currency for which the warrants may be purchased; | |
● | if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security; | |
● | if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; | |
● | in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise; | |
● | the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants; | |
● | the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; | |
● | any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; | |
● | the periods during which, and places at which, the warrants are exercisable; | |
● | the manner of exercise; | |
● | the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire; | |
● | the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified; | |
● | federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; | |
● | the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and | |
● | any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants. |
21 |
We may issue units comprised of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock and warrants in any combination. We may issue units in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish. This section outlines certain provisions of the units that we may issue. If we issue units, they will be issued under one or more unit agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or other financial institution, as unit agent. The information described in this section may not be complete in all respects and is qualified entirely by reference to the unit agreement with respect to the units of any particular series. The specific terms of any series of units offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If so described in a particular supplement, the specific terms of any series of units may differ from the general description of terms presented below. We urge you to read any prospectus supplement related to any series of units we may offer, as well as the complete unit agreement and unit certificate that contain the terms of the units. If we issue units, forms of unit agreements and unit certificates relating to such units will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement, which includes this prospectus.
Each unit that we may issue will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:
● | the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; | |
● | any provisions of the governing unit agreement; | |
● | the price or prices at which such units will be issued; | |
● | the applicable United States federal income tax considerations relating to the units; | |
● | any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and | |
● | any other terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units. |
The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Capital Stock,” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to the securities included in each unit, to the extent relevant and as may be updated in any prospectus supplements.
Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish. This section summarizes terms of the units that apply generally to all series. Most of the financial and other specific terms of a particular series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unit Agreements
We will issue the units under one or more unit agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or other financial institution, as unit agent. We may add, replace or terminate unit agents from time to time. We will identify the unit agreement under which each series of units will be issued and the unit agent under that agreement in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The following provisions will generally apply to all unit agreements unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement:
Modification without Consent
We and the applicable unit agent may amend any unit or unit agreement without the consent of any holder:
● | to cure any ambiguity; any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; | |
● | to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision; or | |
● | to make any other change that we believe is necessary or desirable and will not adversely affect the interests of the affected holders in any material respect. |
We do not need any approval to make changes that affect only units to be issued after the changes take effect. We may also make changes that do not adversely affect a particular unit in any material respect, even if they adversely affect other units in a material respect. In those cases, we do not need to obtain the approval of the holder of the unaffected unit; we need only obtain any required approvals from the holders of the affected units.
22 |
Modification with Consent
We may not amend any particular unit or a unit agreement with respect to any particular unit unless we obtain the consent of the holder of that unit, if the amendment would:
● | impair any right of the holder to exercise or enforce any right under a security included in the unit if the terms of that security require the consent of the holder to any changes that would impair the exercise or enforcement of that right; or | |
● | reduce the percentage of outstanding units or any series or class the consent of whose holders is required to amend that series or class, or the applicable unit agreement with respect to that series or class, as described below. |
Any other change to a particular unit agreement and the units issued under that agreement would require the following approval:
● | If the change affects only the units of a particular series issued under that agreement, the change must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding units of that series; or | |
● | If the change affects the units of more than one series issued under that agreement, it must be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding units of all series affected by the change, with the units of all the affected series voting together as one class for this purpose. |
These provisions regarding changes with majority approval also apply to changes affecting any securities issued under a unit agreement, as the governing document.
In each case, the required approval must be given by written consent.
Unit Agreements Will Not Be Qualified under Trust Indenture Act
No unit agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no unit agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act. Therefore, holders of units issued under unit agreements will not have the protections of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to their units.
Mergers and Similar Transactions Permitted; No Restrictive Covenants or Events of Default
The unit agreements will not restrict our ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets to, another corporation or other entity or to engage in any other transactions. If at any time we merge or consolidate with, or sell our assets substantially as an entirety to, another corporation or other entity, the successor entity will succeed to and assume our obligations under the unit agreements. We will then be relieved of any further obligation under these agreements.
The unit agreements will not include any restrictions on our ability to put liens on our assets, nor will they restrict our ability to sell our assets. The unit agreements also will not provide for any events of default or remedies upon the occurrence of any events of default.
23 |
Governing Law
The unit agreements and the units will be governed by New York law.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We will issue each unit in global—i.e., book-entry—form only. Units in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary, which will be the holder of all the units represented by the global security. Those who own beneficial interests in a unit will do so through participants in the depositary’s system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depositary and its participants. We will describe book-entry securities, and other terms regarding the issuance and registration of the units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Each unit and all securities comprising the unit will be issued in the same form.
If we issue any units in registered, non-global form, the following will apply to them.
The units will be issued in the denominations stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders may exchange their units for units of smaller denominations or combined into fewer units of larger denominations, as long as the total amount is not changed.
● | Holders may exchange or transfer their units at the office of the unit agent. Holders may also replace lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated units at that office. We may appoint another entity to perform these functions or perform them ourselves. | |
● | Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange their units, but they may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the transfer or exchange. The transfer or exchange, and any replacement, will be made only if our transfer agent is satisfied with the holder’s proof of legal ownership. The transfer agent may also require an indemnity before replacing any units. | |
● | If we have the right to redeem, accelerate or settle any units before their maturity, and we exercise our right as to less than all those units or other securities, we may block the exchange or transfer of those units during the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of exercise and ending on the day of that mailing, in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers of or exchange any unit selected for early settlement, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unsettled portion of any unit being partially settled. We may also block the transfer or exchange of any unit in this manner if the unit includes securities that are or may be selected for early settlement. |
Only the depositary will be entitled to transfer or exchange a unit in global form, since it will be the sole holder of the unit.
Payments and Notices
In making payments and giving notices with respect to our units, we will follow the procedures as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
24 |
We may sell securities:
● | through underwriters; | |
● | through dealers; | |
● | through agents; | |
● | directly to purchasers; | |
● | in an “at the market offering”, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act; or | |
● | through a combination of any of these methods or any other method permitted by law. |
In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities, or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. In the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, we will name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act and describe any commissions that we must pay to any such agent. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:
● | at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time; | |
● | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; | |
● | at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or | |
● | at negotiated prices. |
Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:
● | the name of the agent or any underwriters; | |
● | the public offering or purchase price; | |
● | any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters; | |
● | all other items constituting underwriting compensation; | |
● | any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to dealers; and | |
● | any exchanges on which the securities will be listed. |
If any underwriters or agents are used in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement, sales agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.
25 |
In connection with the offering of securities, we may grant to the underwriters an option to purchase additional securities with an additional underwriting commission, as may be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement. If we grant any such option, the terms of such option will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for such securities.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities in respect of which the prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer, who may be deemed to be an “underwriter” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.
If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.
Agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements which they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:
● | the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and | |
● | if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts. |
Offered securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with their remarketing of offered securities.
Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates, may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.
26 |
We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than one scheduled business day after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the first business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than one scheduled business day after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
The anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offer.
27 |
Certain legal matters in connection with this offering will be passed upon for us by Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina. Any underwriters will also be advised about the validity of the securities and other legal matters by their own counsel, which will be named in the prospectus supplement.
The audited financial statement incorporated by reference in the prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement have been so incorporated by reference in reliance upon the report of Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel, independent registered public accountants, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
