EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed by LifeMD, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) to register 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
In addition, this Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “Reoffer Prospectus”) prepared in accordance with General Instruction C of Form S-8 and in accordance with the requirements of Part I of Form S-3. This Reoffer Prospectus may be used for the reoffer and resale of 1,751,529 shares of Common Stock on a continuous or delayed basis that may be deemed to be “restricted” or “control securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are issuable to certain of our employees, executive officers and directors identified in the Reoffer Prospectus. The number of shares of Common Stock included in the Reoffer Prospectus represents shares of Common Stock issuable to the selling stockholders pursuant to equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, granted to the selling stockholders and does not necessarily represent a present intention to sell any or all such shares of Common Stock.
PROSPECTUS
1,751,529 Shares of Common Stock Offered by Selling Stockholders
This reoffer prospectus (“Reoffer Prospectus”) relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this Reoffer Prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 1,751,529 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of LifeMD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Common Stock”), which are issuable to each Selling Stockholder pursuant to awards granted by the Company to the Selling Stockholders under (i) certain agreements with directors of LifeMD, Inc. (the “Director Agreements”) or (ii) certain agreements and arrangements with executive officers and employees of LifeMD, Inc. (the “Employee Agreements”).
We are not offering any shares of Common Stock and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders are certain of our employees and certain of our directors and executive officers, each of whom is an “affiliate” of our company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).
Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to vesting of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the relevant award agreements, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the shares of Common Stock, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. We do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may offer the shares of Common Stock for sale. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 11 for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or dispose of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, including any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Stockholders.
Shares of Common Stock that will be issued pursuant to restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options granted to Selling Stockholders will be “restricted securities” or “control securities” under the Securities Act before their sale under this Reoffer Prospectus. This Reoffer Prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by Selling Stockholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without restriction.
Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “LFMD.” On January 3, 2025, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.75.
We are a “smaller reporting company” under federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 4 of this Reoffer Prospectus and under similar headings in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this Reoffer Prospectus, as well as “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this Reoffer Prospectus.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this Reoffer Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this Reoffer Prospectus is January 13, 2025.

The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “grow,” “target,” “if” and similar expressions and their negatives are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Reoffer Prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Reoffer Prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● | changes in the market acceptance of our products; |
● | the impact of competitive products and pricing; |
● | our ability to successfully commercialize our products on a large enough scale to generate profitable operations; |
● | our ability to maintain and develop relationships with customers and suppliers; |
● | our ability to respond to new technological developments quickly and effectively, including applications and risks of artificial intelligence (“AI”); |
● | Our ability to prevent, detect and remediate cybersecurity incidents; |
● | our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights; |
● | our ability to successfully acquire, develop or commercialize new products and equipment; |
● | our ability to collaborate successfully with other businesses and to integrate acquired businesses or new brands; |
● | supply chain constraints or difficulties; |
● | current and potential material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; |
● | our need to raise additional funds in the future; |
● | our ability to successfully recruit and retain qualified personnel; |
● | the impact of industry regulation, including regulation of compounded medications, privacy and digital healthcare; |
● | general economic and business conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession; |
● | changes in political or regulatory conditions in the markets in which we operate; and |
● | business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war, and terrorism or disease outbreaks. |
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Reoffer Prospectus. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
You should read this Reoffer Prospectus, the documents that incorporated by reference herein, and the documents we have filed with the Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Overview
LifeMD, Inc. is a direct-to-patient telehealth company providing patients a high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient way of accessing comprehensive, virtual healthcare. We believe the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, traveling to a local pharmacy, and returning for follow up care or prescription refills is complex, inefficient, and costly, and discourages many individuals from seeking much needed medical care. LifeMD, Inc. is positioned to elevate the healthcare experience through telehealth with our proprietary technology platform, affiliated provider network, broad treatment capabilities, and unique ability to nurture patient relationships.
The LifeMD telehealth platform integrates best-in-class capabilities including a 50-state medical group, a nationwide pharmacy network, nationwide laboratory and diagnostic testing capabilities, a fully integrated electronic medical records (“EMR”) system and an internal patient care and service call center. These capabilities are integrated by an industry-leading, proprietary telehealth technology that supports a broad range of primary care, chronic disease and lifestyle healthcare needs. Currently, LifeMD treats patient subscribers across a range of their medical needs including primary care, men’s sexual health, weight management, sleep, hair loss and hormonal therapy by providing telehealth clinical services and prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) treatments, as medically appropriate. Our virtual primary care services are primarily offered on a subscription basis.
Our mission is to empower people to live healthier lives by increasing access to high quality and affordable virtual and in-home healthcare. We believe our success has and will continue to be attributable to an amazing patient experience, retaining the highest-quality providers in the industry, and our end-to-end technology platform. As we continue to pursue long-term growth, we plan to continue to introduce new telehealth product and service offerings that complement our already expansive treatment areas.
The mailing address of our principal executive office is located at 236 Fifth Avenue, Suite 400, New York, New York 10001, and can be reached by telephone at (866) 351-5907.

Investors should carefully consider the risks we have described below and under Part I, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as updated under Part II, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024, together with all the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our Common Stock.

As a result, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.

The Selling Stockholders may sell shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.
In connection with their sales, a Selling Stockholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Stockholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares of Common Stock and activities of the Selling Stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person.

Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of shares of Common Stock in the secondary market.

(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.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
