Company Overview
We are developing the next generation of precision-targeted alpha therapies (TAT) for oncology that have the potential to treat a large population of cancer patients across multiple tumor types, including those with metastatic disease. By leveraging our proprietary TAT platform, we aim to develop alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals that can be attached to targeting peptides to deliver the radioactive payload directly to difficult-to-treat tumors. The foundation of our TAT platform is our Pb-specific chelator (PSC) and peptide linker technology, which is designed to enable us to connect our alpha-emitting isotope of choice, Lead-212 (212Pb or Pb-212), to a desired targeting peptide to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. Unlike commercially available chelators and linkers, our proprietary PSC and peptide linker have shown, in preclinical studies, the differentiated ability to promote enhanced clearance of the non-tumor localized 212Pb payload without sacrificing the uptake of the alpha particle into the tumor. Rapid clearance of the alpha-emitting isotope from normal tissues is important to enhance tolerability and widen the therapeutic window of our program candidates. We are also developing complementary diagnostics that utilize the same targeting peptide and imaging isotopes such as Lead-203 (203Pb or Pb-203), Gallium-68 (68Ga or Ga-68) or Copper-64 (64Cu or Cu-64) to provide the opportunity to understand which patients may respond to targeted therapy.
Our platform generates TATs that are comprised of three components: (i) a targeting peptide that is designed to selectively target ligands that are unique to, or preferentially expressed on, cancer cells throughout the body; (ii) the alpha-emitting medical isotope 212Pb designed to kill cancer cells; and (iii) our proprietary linker that attaches the targeting molecule to the radioactive payload.
We utilized our TAT platform to discover, design and develop our initial programs, VMT-α-NET and VMT01, which are currently in ongoing Phase 1 clinical trials, and we plan to continue to leverage our platform to assess the potential of and develop multiple additional pipeline programs. Using our proprietary platform technology, VMT-α-NET and VMT01 are engineered to target cancer-specific receptors on tumor cells.
[212Pb]VMT-α-NET is a TAT in development for patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2)-expressing tumors who have not previously received peptide-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy, such as Lutathera. We have initiated dosing in Cohorts 1 and 2 of our Phase 1/2a study of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In April 2024, we announced that this program was selected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to participate in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) Development and Readiness Pilot (CDRP) Program. FDA’s CDRP Program was initiated in 2022 to facilitate alignment of CMC development of novel products under investigational new drug (IND) applications with expedited clinical development timeframes based upon the anticipated clinical benefits of earlier patient access. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the observation period was completed for dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in seven patients enrolled in Cohort 2. Subsequently, the safety monitoring committee (SMC) determined that the safety data observations during the DLT period supported proceeding with dose escalation to Cohort 3, as well as expanding the number of patients for inclusion in Cohort 2 by 40 for a total of up to 47. The protocol amendment to expand the number of patients dosed at 5 mCi has been allowed to proceed, and patient enrollment is open. Data informing the SMC’s recommendation and FDA consultation is expected to be submitted to an upcoming scientific forum in the second half of 2024. Based on FDA interactions prior to the initiation of patient dosing in this study, the decision to open a Cohort 3 would follow after consultation and alignment with the agency, which is expected prior to year end.
[212Pb]VMT01 is a TAT in development for second-line or later treatment of patients with progressive MC1R-positive metastatic melanoma. In January 2024, we announced that we began patient recruitment for the second dosing cohorts (Cohort 2) in clinical studies for [212Pb]VMT01, after the SMC unanimously recommended moving forward. As of August 9, 2024, we had initiated dosing of patients in Cohort 1 and in Cohort 2 of the Phase 1/2a clinical study of [212Pb]VMT01. A total of seven patients received activities of 5 mCi of [212Pb]VMT01 in Cohort 2. In March 2024, we entered into a clinical trial collaboration with Bristol Meyer’s Squibb to evaluate the safety and tolerability of [212Pb]VMT01 in combination with Bristol Meyer’s Squibb’s nivolumab in patients with histologically confirmed melanoma and positive MC1R imaging scans. An amendment has been submitted to explore the combination of the checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab with [212Pb]VMT01 in patients with histologically confirmed melanoma and positive MC1R imaging scans in our ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical study of [212Pb]VMT01.
In January 2024, we announced that we have a license agreement with Mayo Clinic for the rights to Mayo's prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Alpha-PET DoubLET platform technology for the treatment of PSMA-expressing cancers, with an initial focus on prostate. This radiopharmaceutical platform provides detailed PET imaging-based diagnosis and dosimetry using long-lived CU-64 for imaging and alpha-particle targeted therapies using 212Pb. Preclinical studies are ongoing to assess whether this new molecular entity meets the hurdle for progressing into the clinic with potential to achieve best-in-class profile.
In March 2024, we disclosed a novel pre-IND stage asset (PSV359) that targets fibroblast activation protein-α, which is associated with a variety of solid tumors. We are currently working on an IND which we expect to file in late 2024. If the study may proceed, we expect that the U.S. Phase 1 study would commence in 2025.
Pre-targeting technology enabling the use of antibodies to direct radiolabeled ligands to tumor sites. Antibodies can bind with high specificity to a wider variety of cancer-specific proteins preferentially expressed on the surface of tumor cells. However, the amount of time required for an adequate amount of antibodies to bind to the cancer-specific proteins may not align with the properties of the desired isotope. By attaching an additional chemical entity to an antibody that would bind to a radioligand, the resultant modified antibodies may be administered separately from and in advance of the radioligand as appropriate. Preclinical optimization of this platform is underway, and initial targeting antibodies have been identified for further investigation.

Some of these factors relate principally to our business and the industry in which we operate. Other factors relate principally to your investment in our securities. The risks and uncertainties described therein and below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
If any of the matters included in the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to this Offering
A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price for our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Although there can be no assurance that any of the $250 million worth of shares of our common stock being offered under this prospectus supplement will be sold or the price at which any such shares might be sold, assuming that an aggregate of 20,798,668 shares of our common stock are sold, for example, at a price of $12.02 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on August 9, 2024, upon completion of this offering, based on our shares outstanding as of June 30, 2024, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 88,223,835 shares of common stock, assuming no exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants. A substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, and all of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering upon issuance will be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless these shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
In addition, as of June 30, 2024, we had outstanding options to purchase 6,934,020 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.33 per share, outstanding common stock warrants to purchase 416,164 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.26, and outstanding pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,155,120 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.01. As of June 30, 2024, there were 5,578,023 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our Third Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares of our common stock issuable under the Third Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan may be immediately eligible for resale in the open market. Such shares of our common stock, along with any other market transactions, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Additional dilution may result from the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with additional financings or in connection with commercial transactions.
Moreover, if we issue options, restricted stock units, warrants or other securities to purchase or acquire our common stock in the future and those options, restricted stock units, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or settled you may experience further dilution. Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series.
You may experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 20,798,668 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $12.02 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on August 9, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $250 million, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of approximately $6.22 per share, representing the difference between our as-adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price. The exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and pre-funded warrants will result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.
You may experience additional dilution as a result of certain covenants related to our Investment Agreement with Lantheus.
Pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated January 8, 2024, between us and Lantheus Alpha Therapy, LLC (“Lantheus”), we are required to notify Lantheus within 10 business days of the end of a fiscal quarter in which we issued shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued during such fiscal quarter pursuant to the Sales Agreement and (ii) the average price per share received by the Company before commissions (the “ATM Average Price”). Upon receipt of such notice, Lantheus may elect, at its option, to purchase all or a portion of its pro rata portion (as defined in the Investment Agreement) of the number of shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the Sales Agreement during such fiscal quarter at a price per share equal to the average price per share received by us before commissions. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Lantheus may not exercise this right more than two times per calendar year. If we issue shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, and Lantheus subsequently elects to exercise its option, our existing stockholders will be diluted to the extent of the number of shares Lantheus purchases.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer and issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or settled in, our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater 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 other securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or settled in, our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. As of June 30, 2024, we had reserved 12,512,043 shares of our common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and the issuance of awards available for grant under our equity incentive plans. You will incur dilution upon the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to such plans, upon vesting and settlement of any stock awards under any such plan, or upon exercise of any such outstanding options.
We have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering and, despite our efforts, we may not use these net proceeds effectively or in ways with which you agree.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, product candidates or other intellectual property, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so. However, we have not determined the specific allocation of the net proceeds among these potential uses. Our management will have broad discretion over the use and investment of the net proceeds of this offering, and, accordingly, investors in this offering will need to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of proceeds, with only limited information concerning our specific intentions. Our stockholders
may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase the market price of our common stock. Please see the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement for further information.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future; accordingly, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain and you may never receive a return on your investment.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and you should not rely on an investment in our common stock to provide dividend income. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we may in the future become subject to additional contractual restrictions on, or prohibitions against, the payment of dividends.
It is not possible to predict the aggregate proceeds resulting from sales made under the Sales Agreement, or the actual number of shares that we will issue under the Sales Agreement.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the Agents at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares of our common stock that are sold through the Agents after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, any limits we may set with the Agents in any applicable placement notice and the demand for our common stock. Because this offering can be terminated at any time and the price per share of each share sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will fluctuate over time, it is not currently possible to predict the aggregate proceeds to be raised or the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued in connection with sales under the Sales Agreement.
Sales of common stock offered hereby will be in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and accordingly may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and number of shares of our common stock sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors or a committee thereof, or any restrictions we may place in any applicable placement notice delivered to the applicable Agent, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares of our common stock they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the potential that regulatory authorities may not grant or may delay approval for our program candidates; uncertainties and delays relating to the design, enrollment, completion and results of clinical trials; unanticipated costs and expenses; early clinical trials may not be indicative of the results in later clinical trials; clinical trial results may not support regulatory approval or further development in a specified indication or at all; actions or advice of regulatory authorities may affect the design, initiation, timing, continuation and/or progress of clinical trials or result in the need for additional clinical trials; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our program candidates; delays, interruptions or failures in the manufacture and supply of our program candidates; the size and growth potential of the markets for our program candidates, and our ability to service those markets; our cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to support our operating plan for as long as anticipated; our expectations, projections and estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and the availability of and the need for additional financing; our ability to obtain additional funding to support our clinical development programs; the availability or potential availability of alternative products or treatments for conditions targeted by us that could affect the availability or commercial potential of our program candidates; our ability to manage growth and successfully integrate our businesses; whether we can retain our key employees; whether there is sufficient training and use of our programs and program candidates; the market acceptance and recognition of our programs and program candidates; our ability
to maintain and enforce our intellectual property rights; whether we can maintain our therapeutic isotope supply agreement with the Department of Energy; whether we will continue to comply with the procedures and regulatory requirements mandated by the Food and Drug Administration for additional trials, Phase 1 and 2 approvals, Fast Track approvals, and 510(k) approval and reimbursement codes; and any changes in applicable laws and regulations. Other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, each filed with the SEC, in our other filings with the SEC, and in our future reports to be filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov.
Should known or unknown risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected in the forward-looking statements. You should bear this in mind as you consider any forward-looking statements.
You should read this prospectus supplement, the base prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement are made as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and we undertake no duty to update such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
We may issue and sell shares of common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $250 million from time to time, before deducting sales agent commissions and expenses. The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares of our common stock under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement as a source of financing.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development expenditures, preclinical study and clinical trial expenditures, manufacturing expenditures, commercialization expenditures, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies, products or businesses and investments. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, product candidates or other intellectual property, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so.
The amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds from this offering will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering efforts, technological advances and the competitive environment for our product candidates. 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 the sale of the shares of common stock offered by us hereunder. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to temporarily invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments.
Purchasers of common stock in this offering will experience immediate dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering.
Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $266.9 million, or $3.96 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing total tangible assets less total liabilities, excluding items such as intangibles, by the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following the completion of this offering.
After giving effect to the sale of 20,798,668 shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement at an assumed public offering price of $12.02 per share (the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on August 9, 2024), and after deducting the commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $511.5 million, or $5.80 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.84 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $6.22 per share of common stock issued to the new investors purchasing securities in this offering:

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 20,798,668 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $12.02 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE American on August 9, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $250 million. The shares of our common stock sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. The information discussed above is illustrative only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered.
The above table is based on 67,425,167 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the information in this prospectus supplement is as of June 30, 2024, and excludes:
•6,934,020 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 at a weighted-average exercise price of $5.33 per share;
•5,578,023 shares of our common stock available for future issuance under our equity incentive plans as of June 30, 2024;
•416,164 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024 at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.26 per share; and
•3,155,120 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024 at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.01 per share.
To the extent that options or warrants are exercised, or if we issue options, restricted stock units, warrants or other securities to purchase or acquire our common stock in the future and those options, restricted stock units, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or settled, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.
Except as otherwise indicated, the information in this prospectus supplement reflects or assumes (i) no exercise or forfeiture of any outstanding stock options, common stock warrants or pre-funded warrants since June 30, 2024 and (ii) the exclusion of 344,250 shares of our common stock underlying equity awards granted subsequent to June 30, 2024 through August 9, 2024.
We have entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (together, the “Agents”). Pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $250,000,000 from time to time through the Agents acting as sales agents. A copy of the Sales Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agents may sell shares of our common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct the Agents not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or the Agents may suspend the offering of common stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Each time we wish to issue and sell shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, we will notify an Agent (the “Designated Agent”) of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed the Designated Agent, unless the Agent declines to accept the terms of such notice, the Designated Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase the common stock under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement.
We will pay the Designated Agent commissions, in cash, for its service in acting as agent in the sale of our common stock. The Designated Agent will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the sales price per share sold under the Sales Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse the Agents for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their legal counsel in an amount not to exceed (a) $75,000 in connection with the execution of the Sales Agreement, (b) $25,000 per calendar quarter thereafter pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, and (c) $40,000 for each program “refresh” (filing of a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to shares of our common stock and/or an amendment of the Sales Agreement) executed pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to the Agents under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $415,000.
Settlement for sales of shares of our common stock will occur on the first business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Designated Agent in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Agents may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, the Designated Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Designated Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We and each Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five days’ prior notice.
The Agents and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, the Agents will not engage in any market making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a website maintained by the Agents, and the Agents may distribute this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.
The validity of the shares of our common stock we are offering will be passed upon by Hogan Lovells US LLP. Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., New York, New York has acted as counsel to the Agents in connection with this offering.
The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 have been so incorporated in reliance on the reports of Assure CPA, LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Company Overview
We are developing the next generation of precision-targeted alpha therapies (“TAT”) for oncology that have the potential to treat a large population of cancer patients across multiple tumor types, including those with metastatic disease. By leveraging our proprietary TAT platform, we aim to develop alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals that can be attached to targeting peptides to deliver the radioactive payload directly to difficult-to-treat tumors. The foundation of our TAT platform is our Pb-specific chelator (“PSC”) and peptide linker technology, which is designed to enable us to connect our alpha-emitting isotope of choice, Lead-212 (“212Pb” or “Pb-212”), to a desired targeting peptide to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. Unlike commercially available chelators and linkers, our proprietary PSC and peptide linker have shown, in preclinical studies, the differentiated ability to promote enhanced clearance of the non-tumor localized 212Pb payload without sacrificing the uptake of the alpha particle into the tumor. Rapid clearance of the alpha-emitting isotope from normal tissues is important to enhance tolerability and widen the therapeutic window of our program candidates. We are also developing complementary diagnostics that utilize the same targeting peptide and imaging isotopes such as Lead-203 (“203Pb” or “Pb-203”), Gallium-68 (68Ga or Ga-68) or Copper-64 (“64Cu” or “Cu-64”) to provide the opportunity to understand which patients may respond to targeted therapy.
Our platform generates TATs that are comprised of three components: (i) a targeting peptide that is designed to selectively target ligands that are unique to, or preferentially expressed on, cancer cells throughout the body; (ii) the alpha-emitting medical isotope 212Pb designed to kill cancer cells; and (iii) our proprietary linker that attaches the targeting molecule to the radioactive payload.
We utilized our TAT platform to discover, design and develop our initial programs, VMT-α-NET and VMT01, which are currently in ongoing Phase 1 clinical trials, and we plan to continue to leverage our platform to assess the potential of and develop multiple additional pipeline programs. Using our proprietary platform technology, VMT-α-NET and VMT01 are engineered to target cancer-specific receptors on tumor cells.
[212Pb]VMT-α-NET is a TAT in development for patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor type 2 (“SSTR2”)-expressing tumors who have not previously received peptide-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy, such as Lutathera. In January 2024, we announced that we began patient recruitment for the second dosing cohort (Cohort 2) in the clinical study for [212Pb]VMT-α-NET, after the safety monitoring committee unanimously recommended moving forward. We have initiated dosing of nine patients in Cohorts 1 and 2 of its Phase 1/2a study of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-expressing NETs. A total of seven patients received activities of 185 MBq (5mCi) of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in Cohort 2. In April 2024, we announced the selection of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET for the treatment of certain patients with neuroendocrine tumors by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to participate in the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (“CMC”) Development and Readiness Pilot (“CDRP”) Program. Applicants for inclusion in the CDRP Program are required to submit planned CMC tasks and activities intended to yield complete CMC data and information to be included in a marketing application, such as plans for ensuring product availability for commercial launch. We were informed by the investigator that updated results from 12 patients treated with [212Pb]VMT-α-NET have been accepted for presentation at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging meeting taking place during June 8 – 11, 2024 in Toronto.
[212Pb]VMT01 is a TAT in development for second-line or later treatment of patients with progressive MC1R-positive metastatic melanoma. In January 2024, we announced that we began patient recruitment for the second dosing cohort (Cohort 2) in the clinical study for [212Pb]VMT01, after the safety monitoring committees for each study unanimously recommended moving forward. In addition, the first patient in Cohort 2 of the [212Pb]VMT01 study was already dosed. As of May 15, 2024, we continue to dose patients in Cohort 1 and in Cohort 2 of the Phase 1/2a clinical study of [212Pb]VMT01 in patients with progressive MC1R-positive metastatic melanoma. As of March 31, 2024 [212Pb]VMT01 was well tolerated with no unexpected adverse events.

decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, 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 the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents that we file with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference as described in this prospectus under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” The risks and uncertainties we have described in such documents are not the only risks that we face.

We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents or remarketing firms, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
•at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
•at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
•at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:
•the name or names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;
•if the securities are to be offered through the selling efforts of brokers or dealers, the plan of distribution and the terms of any agreement, arrangement, or understanding entered into with broker(s) or dealer(s) prior to the effective date of the registration statement, and, if known, the identity of any broker(s) or dealer(s) who will participate in the offering and the amount to be offered through each;
•the purchase price of the securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds, if any, we will receive from the sale;
•if any of the securities being registered are to be offered otherwise than for cash, the general purposes of the distribution, the basis upon which the securities are to be offered, the amount of compensation and other expenses of distribution, and by whom they are to be borne;
•any delayed delivery arrangements;
•any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
•any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
•any public offering price;
•any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
•the identity and relationships of any finders, if applicable; and
•any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any purchase option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.
We may use a remarketing firm to offer the securities in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own account or as agents for us. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities pursuant to the terms of the securities. A prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket.
If we offer and sell securities through a dealer, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
We may sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.
We may provide agents, underwriters and dealers with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents, underwriters and dealers, or their respective affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
All securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any underwriter may engage in purchase options, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Purchase options involve sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the purchase option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
Any underwriters that are qualified market makers on the New York Stock Exchange may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in
excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The summary of general terms and provisions of our common stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws,” and together with the Certificate of Incorporation, the “Charter Documents”), each of which is included as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein. For additional information, please read the Charter Documents and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
General
We are authorized to issue up to 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares of common stock. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of our common stock when issued will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
Voting. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders, provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation. The Bylaws provide that except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or the Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum.
Dividends. Our Board of Directors (our “Board”), in its sole discretion, may declare and pay dividends on our common stock, payable in cash or other consideration, out of funds legally available, if all dividends due on the preferred stock have been declared and paid. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
Liquidation, Subdivision, or Combination. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us or upon the distribution of our assets, all assets and funds remaining after payment in full of our debts and liabilities, and after the payment to holders of any then outstanding preferred stock of the full preferential amounts to which they were entitled, would be divided and distributed among holders of the common stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, we elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with certain exceptions.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding are able to elect all of our directors. The Bylaws provide that directors may be removed by the stockholders with or without cause upon the vote of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board, and vacancies and newly created directorships on our Board may, except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, only be filled by a majority vote of the directors then serving on our Board, even though less than a quorum.
The Bylaws also provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or any other business to be properly brought at a meeting of stockholders must provide timely advance notice in writing and specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.
The Certificate of Incorporation provides our Board the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in control.
The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board. Since our Board has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us.
These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Choice of Forum
Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any claim or counterclaim, including without limitation (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our Bylaws. This may require significant additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions
These exclusive forum provisions may result in increased costs for investors to bring a claim. Further, these exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm our business.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR PREFERRED STOCK
The summary of general terms and provisions of our preferred stock set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, each of which is included as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein. For additional information, please read the Charter Documents and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
We are authorized to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Our Board may, without further action by our stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine and fix the number of shares of such series of preferred stock and the designation of such series of preferred stock, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series of preferred stock, the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of the shares of such series of preferred stock. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of our preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of our preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. In some circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Upon the affirmative vote of our Board, without stockholder approval, we may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of our preferred stock on the rights of holders of our common stock until the Board determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock.
If we offer a specific series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will describe the terms of the preferred stock in the prospectus supplement for such offering and will file a copy of the certificate establishing the terms of the preferred stock with the SEC. To the extent required, this description will include:
•the title and stated value;
•the number of shares of preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share of preferred stock, and the purchase price of preferred stock;
•the dividend rate(s), period(s), and/or payment date(s), or method(s) of calculation for such dividends;
•whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate;
•the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any;
•the provisions for a sinking fund, if any;
•the provisions for redemption, if applicable;
•any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;
•whether the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock or our other securities and, if applicable, the conversion price (or how it will be calculated), the conversion period and any other terms of conversion (including any anti-dilution provisions, if any);
•whether the preferred stock will be exchangeable into debt securities, and, if applicable, the exchange price (or how it will be calculated), the exchange period and any other terms of exchange (including any anti-dilution provisions, if any);
•voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock;
•a discussion of any material and/or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;
•the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our affairs;
•any material limitations on issuance of any series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; and
•any other affirmative, negative or other covenants or contractual rights which might be attendant with the specific series of preferred stock.
The preferred stock offered by this prospectus, when issued, will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Of the 7,000,000 shares of presently authorized preferred stock, 5,000,000 are designated as Series B convertible preferred stock. As of May 24, 2024, no shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Each share of Series B convertible preferred stock is entitled to a cumulative 15% dividend annually on the stated par value per share, which is $1.20 per share. These shares of Series B convertible preferred stock are convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each share of Series B convertible preferred stock, and are subject to automatic conversion into our common stock upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of our common stock in which the gross proceeds to us are at least $4.0 million. Holders of Series B convertible preferred stock have voting rights equal to the voting rights of our common stock, except that the vote or written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares our Series B convertible preferred stock is required for any changes to the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or Certificate of Designation, or for any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or liquidation of us. Upon liquidation of our company, our assets will be distributed ratably first to the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock and second to the holders of our common stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for any series of preferred stock will be set forth in each applicable prospectus supplement.

If we do, we will describe the restrictions, elections, and general tax considerations relating to the debt securities and the foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Exchange and/or Conversion Rights
We may issue debt securities which can be exchanged for or converted into shares of our common stock or preferred stock. If we do, we will describe the terms of exchange or conversion in the prospectus supplement relating to these debt securities.
Transfer and Exchange
We may issue debt securities that will be represented by either:
•“book-entry securities,” which means that there will be one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or
•“certificated securities,” which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive registered form.
We will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry or certificated securities.
Certificated Debt Securities
If you hold certificated debt securities issued under an indenture, you may transfer or exchange such debt securities in accordance with the terms of the indenture. You will not be charged a service charge for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities but may be required to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or exchange.
Global Securities
The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominees identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In such a case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series to be represented by such global security or securities.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary and except in the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.
Protection in the Event of Change of Control
Any provision in an indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus that includes any covenant or other provision providing for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of our debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of our company, or a highly leveraged transaction will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Covenants
Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, our debt securities may not have the benefit of any covenant that limits or restricts our business or operations, the pledging of our assets or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities.
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease
We may agree in any indenture that governs the debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus that we will not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer or lease (as lessor) our properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any person, unless such person and such proposed transaction meets various criteria, which we will describe in detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Defaults and Notice
The debt securities of any series will contain events of default to be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, which may include, without limitation:
•default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;
•default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series at its maturity;
•default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a debt security of that series;
•default in the performance or breach of any other covenants or agreements in the indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series; and
•certain events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, we may agree that the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of such series are issued at an original issue discount, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of the debt securities of such series) of all debt securities of such series or such other amount or amounts as the debt securities or supplemental indenture with respect to such series may provide, to be due and payable immediately. Any provisions pertaining to events of default and any remedies associated therewith will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus may require that the trustee under such indenture shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, give to holders of debt securities of any series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults with respect to such series known to it. However, in the case of a default that results from the failure to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities of any series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with respect to debt securities of such series, if any, the trustee may withhold such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of debt securities of such series. Any terms and provisions relating to the foregoing types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus will contain a provision entitling the trustee to be indemnified by holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any trust or power under the indenture at the request of such holders. Any such indenture may provide that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series. However, the trustee under any such indenture may decline to follow any such direction if, among other reasons, the trustee determines in good faith that the actions or proceedings as directed may not lawfully be taken, would involve the trustee in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to the holders of the debt securities of such series not joining in such direction.
Any indenture that governs our debt securities covered by this prospectus may endow the holders of such debt securities to institute a proceeding with respect to such indenture, subject to certain conditions, which will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and which may include, that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding make a written request upon the trustee to exercise its power under the indenture, indemnify the trustee and afford the trustee reasonable opportunity to act. Even so, such holders may have an absolute right to receipt of the principal of or premium, if any, and interest when due, to require conversion or exchange of debt securities if such indenture provides for convertibility or exchangeability at the option of the holder and to institute suit for the enforcement of such rights. Any terms and provisions relating to the foregoing types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Modification of the Indenture
We and the trustee may modify any indenture that governs our debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus with or without the consent of the holders of such debt securities, under certain circumstances to be described in a prospectus supplement.
Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge
The prospectus supplement will outline the conditions under which we may elect to have certain of our obligations under the indenture discharged and under which the indenture obligations will be deemed to be satisfied.
Regarding the Trustee
We will identify the trustee and any relationship that we may have with such trustee, with respect to any series of debt securities, in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. You should note that if the trustee becomes a creditor of us, the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limit the rights of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates may engage in, and will be permitted to continue to engage in, other transactions with us and our affiliates. If, however, the trustee acquires any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
Governing Law
The law governing the indenture and the debt securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable indenture and debt securities.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR UNITS
The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with one or more of the securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.
The form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, will describe the terms of the series of units we may offer under this prospectus. The following summaries of material provisions of the units, and the unit agreements, are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units.

General
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the securities that may be offered under this prospectus. Each unit 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.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including:
•the designation and the material 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;
•the rights and obligations of the unit agent, if any;
•the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the units;
•any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described herein; and
•any material provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Our Common Stock,” “Description of our Preferred Stock,” “Description of Our Debt Securities” and “Description of Our Warrants,” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants included in each unit, respectively.
