The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are sometimes referred to as the “Common Warrant Shares.”

We are filing the registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations with the Selling Stockholder to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholder of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. See “Selling Stockholder” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus for more information about the Selling Stockholder. The registration of the shares of Common Stock to which this prospectus relates does not require the Selling Stockholder to sell any of its shares of our Common Stock.

We are not offering any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares of our Common Stock covered hereby. See “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 3 of this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholder identified in this prospectus, or its pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or their respective successors-in-interest, from time to time may offer and sell through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices the shares held by them directly or through underwriters, agents or broker-dealers on terms to be determined at the time of sale, as described in more detail in this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Stockholder may sell its shares of Common Stock. The Selling Stockholder may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In connection with the Private Placement, we have agreed, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated May 31, 2024 (The “Purchase Agreement”) that we have entered into with the Selling Stockholder, to bear all of the expenses in connection with the registration of the Common Warrant Shares pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder will pay or assume all commissions, discounts, fees of underwriters, agents, selling brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses, if any, attributable to its sales of the shares of Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “AIM.” On July 10, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE American was $0.359 per share.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes “forward-looking statements”, as such term is used within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” are not based on historical fact and involve assessments of certain risks, developments, and uncertainties in our business looking to the future. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, or “believe”, or the negatives or other variations of these terms or comparable terminology. Forward- looking statements may include projections, forecasts, or estimates of future performance and developments. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based upon assumptions and assessments that we believe to be reasonable as of the date of this prospectus. Whether those assumptions and assessments will be realized will be determined by future factors, developments, and events, which are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. Actual results, factors, developments, and events may differ materially from those we assumed and assessed. Risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and developments, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), incorporated by reference herein, could cause our future operating results to differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. There can be no assurance that any such forward-looking statement, projection, forecast or estimate contained can be realized or that actual returns, results, or business prospects will not differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future results, events or developments.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary contains basic information about us and this offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, any related free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with the offering and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the information included under the heading titled “Risk Factors.” Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share information relating to our Common Stock in this prospectus has been adjusted to reflect the one-for-12 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock effected on August 26, 2016 and the one-for-44 reverse stock split effected on June 10, 2019.

Our Company

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. and its subsidiaries are an immuno-pharma company headquartered in Ocala, Florida, and focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple types of cancers, viral diseases and immune-deficiency disorders. We have established a strong foundation of laboratory, pre-clinical and clinical data with respect to the development of nucleic acids and natural interferon to enhance the natural antiviral defense system of the human body, and to aid the development of therapeutic products for the treatment of certain cancers and chronic diseases.

Our flagship products are Ampligen (rintatolimod) and Alferon N Injection (Interferon alfa). Ampligen is a double-stranded RNA (“dsRNA”) molecule being developed for globally important cancers, viral diseases and disorders of the immune system. Ampligen has not been approved by the FDA or marketed in the United States, but is approved for commercial sale in the Argentine Republic for the treatment of severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”).

We are currently proceeding primarily in four areas:

We are prioritizing activities in an order related to the stage of development, with those clinical activities such as pancreatic cancer, ME/CFS and Post-COVID conditions having priority over antiviral experimentation. We intend that priority clinical work be conducted in trials authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), which trials support a potential future NDA. However, our antiviral experimentation is designed to accumulate additional preliminary data supporting their hypothesis that Ampligen is a powerful, broad-spectrum prophylaxis and early-onset therapeutic that may confer enhanced immunity and cross-protection. Accordingly, we will conduct antiviral programs in those venues most readily available and able to generate valid proof-of-concept data, including foreign venues.

Corporate Information

Our primary executive offices are located at 2117 SW Highway 484, Ocala FL 34473 and our telephone number is (352) 448-7797. Additional information can be found on our website, https://aimimmuno.com and in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. Copies of our current and periodic reports filed with the SEC are available to the public on a website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov and on our website. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus and should not be considered as part of this prospectus or in deciding whether to purchase our securities. No portion of our website is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and have a public float of less than $250 million or annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. As a result of being considered a “smaller reporting company,” we will be entitled to certain exemptions regarding the disclosure that we are required to provide in our SEC filings. Specifically, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

THE OFFERING

The number of shares of our common stock that will be outstanding immediately after this offering as shown above is based on 57,136,680 shares outstanding as of July 10, 2024 and excludes (vested and unvested):

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our shares of Common Stock. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, or any prospectus, which risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by these risks. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Selling Stockholder will receive all of the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock offered from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock that may be sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus; however, we will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the Common Warrants. If all of the Common Warrants are exercised for cash, we will receive approximately $4,095,336 in gross proceeds.

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of the Common Warrant Shares registered hereby, which may be resold by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, such as SEC fees and legal and accounting expenses, which we will bear, the Selling Stockholder will bear any underwriting discounts, commissions, placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of the Common Warrant Shares.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not declared or paid dividends to holders of our Common Stock since inception and do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future to such Common Stockholders. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance our growth.

DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE

The prices at which the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold by the Selling Stockholder will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of our Common Stock or by negotiations between the Selling Stockholder and the buyer or buyers of our Common Stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary description sets forth some of the general terms and provisions of our capital stock. Because this is a summary description, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more detailed description of our capital stock, you should refer to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), and our Restated and Amended Bylaws (“Bylaws”). Copies of our Charter and Bylaws are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Capital Stock

We have authorized 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. As of July 10, 2024, there were 57,136,680 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, no shares of Series A Junior Participating preferred stock issued or outstanding, and 118,689 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2009 equity incentive plans at a weighted average exercise price of $19.66 per share, and 2,814,142 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2018 equity incentive plans at a weighted average exercise price of $1.54 per share, 360,000 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted to Azenova. The authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock and the authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our Common Stock or preferred stock.

Common Stock

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding preferred stock. We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but intend to retain our capital resources for reinvestment in our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that is currently outstanding or that we may designate and issue in the future.

Except as otherwise provided by law, our Charter and Bylaws, each as amended, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. In addition, except as otherwise provided by law, our Charter or our Bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Preferred Stock

Holders of our Series A Junior Participating preferred stock, if and when issued, will have the right purchase from us shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated May 12, 2023.

Pursuant to a February 2019 registration statement relating to a rights offering we distributed to our holders of Common Stock and to holders of certain options and redeemable warrants as of February 14, 2019, at no charge, one non-transferable subscription right for each share of Common Stock held or deemed held on the record date. Each right entitled the holder to purchase one unit, at a subscription price of $1,000 per unit, consisting of one share of B Preferred and 114 warrants with an assumed exercise price of $8.80. The redeemable warrants were exercisable for five years after the date of issuance. As of July 10, 2024, there were no warrants and no Series B Preferred warrants outstanding related to the rights offering.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our Common Stock is Equiniti Trust Company.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Charter, Our Bylaws and Our Stockholders’ Rights Plan

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or 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 the following exceptions:

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years before the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

Charter and Bylaws

Our Charter and/or Bylaws provide that:

Stockholder Rights Plan

On November 19, 2002, our board of directors declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2002 pursuant to our rights agreement (as subsequently amended and restated, the “Rights Agreement”) between us and our Rights Agent. Each Right entitles the registered holder of one share of our Common Stock to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share at a Purchase Price of $4.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment. All terms not specifically defined herein have the definition set forth in the Rights Agreement. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.

The current Amended and Restated Rights Agreement is included as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 (File No. 001-27072) filed with the SEC on May, 15, 2023. Such Plan and the Rights are described In Part II, ITEM 5: Other Information in the foregoing Report on Form 10-Q. All of the foregoing are incorporated by reference herein.

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

We have shares of Common Stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.

The existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, our board of directors has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law and subject to any limitations set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or could discourage a third-party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On May 31, 2024, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser/Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which we issued to the Selling Stockholder, (i) in a registered direct offering, 5,640,958 shares of our Common Stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) in the concurrent Private Placement, we issued the Common Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 11,281,916 Common Warrant Shares, each with an exercise price of $0.363. The Common Warrants consist of Class A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,640,958 shares (the “A Warrants”) and Class B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,640,958 shares (the “B Warrants”). Such registered direct offering and concurrent Private Placement are referred to herein as the “Transactions.” The purchase price for Shares was $0.363 per Share.

We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Transactions of approximately $2,047,667, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The Shares were offered by us pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262280), which was declared effective on February 4, 2022. The Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares issued in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act. Rather the Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. The A Warrants and B Warrants are not exercisable until December 3, 2024, and will expire, respectively, 24 months and five years and six months after that date.

Exercise Limitation. Selling Stockholder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Common Warrants if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.

Exercise Price Adjustment. The exercise price of the Common Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock.

Exchange Listing. There is no established trading market for Common Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the Common Warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market.

Fundamental Transactions. If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Common Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Common Warrants following such fundamental transaction. In addition, the successor entity, at the request of warrant holders, will be obligated to purchase any unexercised portion of the Common Warrants in accordance with the terms of such warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the Common Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the common warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes Value (as defined in each warrant) of the unexercised portion of the common warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of such Warrant holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Common Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises such warrant.

Resale/Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Common Warrants, we have filed this Registration Statement. We are using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 181 days following June 3, 2024 and to keep it effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

Maxim Group LLC acted as the Placement Agent on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement by and between us and the Placement Agent. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent was paid a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds paid to us for the securities sold in the Transactions and reimbursement. In addition, we have reimbursed the Placement Agent $65,000 for certain offering-related expenses.

The shares of our Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder are those issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon exercise of the Common Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of the Common Warrants and the Common Warrant Shares, see “Description of the Private Placement” elsewhere in this prospectus. We are registering these shares of our Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholder to offer them for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of shares of our Common Stock and the Common Warrants purchased in the Transactions, the Selling Stockholder has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Selling Stockholder, including (i) the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder, including and securities exercisable for shares of our Common Stock, prior to this offering without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations contained in the Common Warrants (as specified below), (ii) the number of shares of our Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the Selling Stockholder’s beneficial ownership after completion of this offering assuming the sale of all of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The registration of the shares of our Common Stock issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon the exercise of the Common Warrants does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholder will sell all or any of such shares, but the number of shares and percentages set forth in the final two columns below assume that all shares of our Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder are sold.

The table is based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and the percentage ownership of the Selling Stockholder, shares of our Common Stock subject to the Common Warrants held by the Selling Stockholder that are exercisable within 60 days after June 3, 2024, are deemed outstanding. The percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering is based on 57,136,680 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on July 10, 2024.

This prospectus covers the resale of 11,281,916 shares of our Common Stock that may be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Selling Stockholder. Such shares of our Common Stock are issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon the exercise of the Common Warrants. The A Warrants and B Warrants are not exercisable until December 3, 2024, and will expire, respectively, 24 months and five years and six months after that date. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.363 per share. See “Description of the Private Placement” above for a more complete description of the Common Warrants. Under the terms of the Common Warrants, the Selling Stockholder may not exercise the Common Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock that would exceed 4.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Common Warrants that have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the NYSE American or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

PROSPECTUS

_____, 2024

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses, payable by the Company in connection with the registration and sale of the Common Stock being registered. All amounts are estimates except the SEC registration fee.

Section 145 of the DGCL inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. We maintain policies insuring our officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Article Ninth of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify to the extent permitted by Delaware law any person whom it may indemnify thereunder, including directors, officers, employees and agents. Such indemnification (other than an order by a court) shall be made by us only upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the individual met the applicable standard of conduct. Advances for such indemnification may be made pending such determination. In addition, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, personal liability of directors to the Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors.

The foregoing discussion of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such certificate of incorporation or law.

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, executive officers, or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Selling Securityholder, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Selling Stockholder, (i) in a registered direct offering, 5,640,958 shares of our Common Stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) in the concurrent Private Placement, Common Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 11,281,916 Common Warrant Shares, each with an exercise price of $0.363. The Common Warrants consist of Class A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,640,958 shares and Class B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 5,640,958 shares. Such registered direct offering and concurrent Private Placement are referred to herein as the “Transactions.” The purchase price for Shares was $0.363 per Share.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued a total of 613,512 options under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, effective September 12, 2018 which will continue in effect for a period of 10 years from its effective date (the “2018 Plan”). During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued a total of 850,000 options under the 2018 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued a total of 400,000 options under the 2018 Plan. Since the end of fiscal 2023, the Company did not issue any securities under the 2018 Plan.

Employees and Directors Stock Purchase Plan (Not equity compensation)

On July 7, 2020, the Board approved a plan pursuant to which all directors, officers, and employees could purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $500,000 worth of shares at the market price. Pursuant to NYSE American rules, this plan was effective for a sixty-day period commencing upon the date that the NYSE American approved the Company’s Supplemental Listing Application. The Company created successive new plans following the expiration of the July 7, 2020 plan. The latest plan was approved by the Board in June 2024 and expires in August 2024.

Under these plans, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued a total of 132,238 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.16 to $2.35 for a total of $205,000. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued a total of 86,817 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.76 to $1.02 for a total of $80,000. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued a total of 419,285 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.31 to $0.67 for a total of $150,500. Since the end of fiscal 2023, the Company issued 335,603 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.33 to $0.405 for a total of $120,001.

Azenova

On December 6, 2023, the Company issued to Azenova, LLC, an option to purchase up to 360,000 shares of Company common stock at a price equal to $0.46 per share. This Option was awarded pursuant to the Consulting Agreement dated October 16, 2023 between the Company and Azenova, LLC.

The offers, sales and issuances of securities described above was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on either Section 4(a)(2) in that the issuance of securities to the accredited investors did not involve a public offering, or Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701.

The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement, which immediately precedes the Signature Page and which Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated by reference.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, That:

(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§ 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

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