PROSPECTUSSUMMARY

 

Thissummary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all the information that may be importantto you, and we urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors,” “Information on theCompany” and “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” sections and our consolidated financial statements, includingthe notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein, before deciding to invest in our commonshares.

 

Overview

 

Weare a clinical-and commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics that address important unmet medical needs. Weare currently active in three areas: the development of RNA therapeutics for extrahepatic therapeutic targets (OligoPhore™ / SemaPhore™platforms; preclinical), nasal sprays for protection against airborne viruses and allergens (Bentrio™; commercial) or the treatmentof vertigo (AM-125; Phase 2), and the development of therapeutics for intratympanic treatment of tinnitus or hearing loss (Keyzilen®and Sonsuvi®, Phase 3). We have announced our intention to reposition the Company around RNA therapeutics while exploring strategicoptions to either divest our traditional businesses or spin them off as a separate entity to shareholders.

 

CommittedEquity Financing

 

OnApril 23, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,LPC has agreed to subscribe for up to $10,000,000 of our common shares over the 30-month term of the Purchase Agreement following theCommencement (as defined below). On April 29, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,we filed a registration statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-237907) to register up to 1,500,000 common shares of the Companyfor resale by LPC. On November 16, 2021, we filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-237907) to (i) toincorporate by reference into the Form F-1 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 filedwith the SEC on March 31, 2021 and (ii) to include certain other information in the Form F-1. Such 1,500,000 common shares have now beensold and the purpose of this registration statement on Form F-1 is to register an additional 5,000,000 common shares of the Company forresale by LPC, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Uponsatisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement, including that a registration statement is declared effective by the SEC anda final prospectus in connection therewith is filed by the SEC, which first occurred on May 11, 2020 (the “Commencement”),we have the right, from time to time so long as this registration statement remains effective, at our sole discretion over the remainingportion of the 30-month period from and after the Commencement, to require LPC to subscribe for up to 150,000 of our common shares, subjectto adjustments as set forth below (such maximum number of shares, as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Regular Purchase ShareLimit”; each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”); provided, however, that (i) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shallbe increased to 300,000 of our common shares if the total number of outstanding common shares on the purchase date exceeds 10,000,000,(ii) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shall be increased to 350,000 of our common shares if the closing sale price of our common sharesis not below $1.00 on the purchase date and the total number of outstanding common shares on the purchase date exceeds 12,500,000 and(iii) the Regular Purchase Share Limit shall be increased to 400,000 of our common shares if the closing sale price of our common sharesis not below $1.00 on the purchase date and the total number of outstanding common shares on the purchase date exceeds 15,000,000. TheRegular Purchase Share Limit is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend,stock split or other similar transaction; provided, that if after giving effect to such full proportionate adjustment, the adjusted RegularPurchase Share Limit would preclude us from requiring LPC to subscribe for common shares at an aggregate purchase price equal to or greaterthan $150,000 in any single Regular Purchase (which dollar threshold shall not be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction), then the Regular Purchase Share Limit for such Regular Purchase will notbe fully adjusted, but rather the Regular Purchase Share Limit for such Regular Purchase shall be adjusted as specified in the PurchaseAgreement, such that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Regular Purchase Share Limit will be equal to (or as close as can bederived from such adjustment without exceeding) $150,000. We may not require LPC to purchase in any single Regular Purchase common shareshaving an aggregate purchase price greater than $1,000,000 (which dollar threshold shall not be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction). We may not issue any of our common shares as a Regular Purchase on a datein which the closing sale price of our common shares is below the sum of (x) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the then applicable par valueper common share and (y) $0.01 (which dollar amount shall not be subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cashdividend, stock split or other similar transaction). The purchase price for Regular Purchases shall be equal to the lesser of (i)the lowest sale price of our common shares on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale pricesof our common shares during the 10 business days immediately prior to the applicable purchase date, as reported on the Nasdaq CapitalMarket.

Inaddition to Regular Purchases described above, we may also direct LPC to purchase “accelerated amounts” and/or “additionalaccelerated amounts” on any business day on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase Notice, and/or an Accelerated Purchase(as defined elsewhere in this prospectus) has been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder have been properly deliveredto LPC in accordance with the Purchase Agreement prior to such time on such business day, and provided that the closing price of ourcommon shares on such business day is not less than $1.00 per share.

 

Inall instances, we may not issue common shares to LPC under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in LPC beneficially owning morethan 4.99% of our outstanding common shares.

 

ThePurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the parties, certain limitations and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights of LPC and other obligations of the parties. LPC has covenanted not to causeor engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our common shares.

 

Asof February 4, 2022, there were 15,264,261 of our common shares outstanding (approximately 1.5 million of which common shares are heldby affiliates), excluding the 5,000,000 common shares to which this prospectus relates that we may issue to LPC pursuant to the PurchaseAgreement after the effective date. If all of the 5,000,000 common shares offered hereby were issued and outstanding as of February 4,2022, such shares would represent approximately 24.7% of the total common shares outstanding, or approximately 26.6% of the common sharesoutstanding held by non-affiliates, as of February 4, 2022. The actual number of common shares offered for sale by LPC is dependent uponthe number of common shares we ultimately elect to issue to LPC under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Thenet proceeds under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency and prices at which we issue our common shares to LPC. We expectthat any proceeds received by us from such issuances to LPC will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We havethe right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time for any reason upon one business day’s written notice to LPC.

These forward-looking statements are basedon estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to anumber of risks and uncertainties.

 

Forward-lookingstatements appear in a number of places in this prospectus and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our intent, beliefor current expectations. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currentlyavailable to our management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from thoseexpressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

 

  our operation as a development-stage company with limited operating history and a history of operating losses;

 

  the COVID-19 outbreak, which continues to evolve, and which could significantly disrupt our preclinical studies and clinical trials, and therefore our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals;

 

  our need for substantial additional funding to continue the development of our product candidates before we can expect to become profitable from sales of our products and the possibility that we may be unable to raise additional capital when needed, particularly in light of the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which continues to evolve;

 

  the timing, scope, terms and conditions of a potential divestiture or spin-off of the Company’s traditional business as well as the cash such transaction(s) may generate;

 

  the market acceptance and resulting sales from Bentrio™ in international markets;

 

  our dependence on the success of AM-125, AM-201, AM-401, Keyzilen® (AM-101) and Sonsuvi® (AM-111), which are still in clinical development, may eventually prove to be unsuccessful;

 

  the chance that we may become exposed to costly and damaging liability claims resulting from the testing of our product candidates in the clinic or in the commercial stage;

 

  the chance our clinical trials may not be completed on schedule, or at all, as a result of factors such as delayed enrollment or the identification of adverse effects, particularly in light of the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which continues to evolve;

 

  uncertainty surrounding whether any of our product candidates will receive regulatory approval, which is necessary before they can be commercialized;

 

  if our product candidates obtain regulatory approval, our product candidates being subject to expensive, ongoing obligations and continued regulatory overview;

 

  enacted and future legislation may increase the difficulty and cost for us to obtain marketing approval and commercialization;

 

  the chance that we do not obtain orphan drug exclusivity for Sonsuvi®, which would allow our competitors to sell products that treat the same conditions;

 

  dependence on governmental authorities and health insurers establishing adequate reimbursement levels and pricing policies;

 

  our products may not gain market acceptance, in which case we may not be able to generate product revenues;

 

  our reliance on our current strategic relationships with INSERM or Xigen and the potential success or failure of strategic relationships, joint ventures or mergers and acquisitions transactions;

 

  our reliance on third parties to conduct our nonclinical and clinical trials and on third-party, single-source suppliers to supply or produce our product candidates;

 

  our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights and operate our business without infringing or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others;

 

  our ability to meet the continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq and remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market;

 

  the chance that certain intangible assets related to our product candidates will be impaired; and

 

  other risk factors discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5.

USEOF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the salesof our common shares by LPC. We may receive gross proceeds of up to $8,376,505 under the Purchase Agreement over the remaining portionof the 30-month period following the Commencement, assuming that we issue all of the common shares available thereunder and excludingestimated offering fees and expenses. However, there can be no assurance we will issue any or all of the common shares to LPC or thatthey will resell such common shares offered hereby. Because there is no minimum offering amount required, we may issue less than all ofthe common shares offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us.

 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from theissuance of our common shares to LPC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be up to approximately $6,305,555 over the remaining portionof the 30-month period following the Commencement, assuming the issuance of 5,000,000 common shares we are registering on behalf of theselling shareholders based at an assumed offering price of $1.27 per common share, the closing price of our common shares as listed onNasdaq on February 4, 2022 and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from the issuanceof the securities for working capital and general corporate purposes. Such purposes may include research and development expendituresand capital expenditures. Pending the use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing, investment-gradesecurities. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying any net proceeds that we receive pursuant to thePurchase Agreement.

THELPC TRANSACTION

 

General

 

On April 23, 2020, we entered into the PurchaseAgreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with LPC. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, LPC has agreed to subscribefor up to $10,000,000 of newly issued Company common shares (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over a 30-month period.Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectusto register for resale under the Securities Act the common shares that have been or may be issued to LPC under the Purchase Agreement.

 

We have the right, from time to time at our solediscretion over the 30-month period from and after the Commencement, to require LPC to subscribe for up to 150,000 common shares in aRegular Purchase, which amount may be increased to up to 400,000 common shares, provided that certain thresholds on the closing priceof our common shares and the number of our outstanding common shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied; provided thatLPC’s maximum commitment obligation under any single Regular Purchase will not exceed $1,000,000 (which dollar threshold shall notbe adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction).

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have sold1,500,000 of our common shares for an aggregate offering price of $1,623,495 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which represents thefull number of shares registered under the Registration Statement on Form F-1 previously filed by us with the SEC under the terms of thePurchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and declared effective by the SEC.

 

Purchases of Common Shares Under the PurchaseAgreement

 

The Purchase Agreement provides that, from timeto time at our sole discretion over the 30-month period from and after the Commencement, so long as at least one business day has passedsince the most recent prior Regular Purchase was completed in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, we may require LPC to subscribefor up to 150,000 of our common shares in a Regular Purchase. We may increase the amount of common shares we may issue to LPC pursuantto a Regular Purchase to up to (i) 300,000 of our common shares, provided that the total number of outstanding common shares on the purchasedate exceeds 10,000,000, (ii) 350,000 of our common shares, provided that the closing sale price of our common shares is not below $1.00on the purchase date and the total number of outstanding common shares on the purchase date exceeds 12,500,000 and (iii) 400,000 of ourcommon shares, provided that the closing sale price of our common shares is not below $1.00 on the purchase date and the total numberof outstanding common shares on the purchase date exceeds 15,000,000. The Regular Purchase Share Limit is subject to proportionate adjustmentin the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction; provided, that if aftergiving effect to such full proportionate adjustment, the adjusted Regular Purchase Share Limit would preclude us from requiring LPC tosubscribe for common shares at an aggregate purchase price equal to or greater than $150,000 in any single Regular Purchase, then theRegular Purchase Share Limit for such Regular Purchase will not be fully adjusted, but rather the Regular Purchase Share Limit for suchRegular Purchase shall be adjusted as specified in the Purchase Agreement, such that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the RegularPurchase Share Limit will be equal to (or as close as can be derived from such adjustment without exceeding) $150,000. We may not requireLPC to purchase in any single Regular Purchase common shares having an aggregate purchase price greater than $1,000,000. We may not issueany of our common shares as a Regular Purchase on a date in which the closing sale price of our common shares is below the sum of (x)the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the then applicable par value per common share and (y) $0.01 (which dollar amount shall not be subject toadjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction).

 

The purchase price for Regular Purchases shallbe equal to the lesser of (i) the lowest sale price of our common shares on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the average ofthe three lowest closing sale prices of our common shares during the 10 business days immediately prior to the applicable purchase date,as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

-11-

 

 

In addition to Regular Purchases described above,we may also direct LPC, on any business day on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice directing LPC to purchase themaximum number of our common shares that we are then permitted to include in a single Regular Purchase notice and the closing sale priceof our common shares on such business day is not below $1.00 per share, to purchase an additional amount of our common shares, which werefer to as an Accelerated Purchase, not to exceed the lesser of (i) 30% multiplied by the aggregate of our common shares traded duringall or, if certain trading volume or market price thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable AcceleratedPurchase Date, which is defined as the next business day following the purchase date for the corresponding Regular Purchase, the portionof the normal trading hours on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date prior to such time that any one of such thresholds is crossed,which period of time on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date we refer to as the Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period and (ii) threetimes the number of purchase shares purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase.

 

The purchase price per share of each such AcceleratedPurchase shall be equal to 96% of the lower of (i) the volume weighted average price of our common shares during the applicable AcceleratedPurchase Measurement Period on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date and (ii) the closing sale price of our common shares on the applicableAccelerated Purchase Date.

 

We may also direct LPC, not later than 1:00 p.m.,Eastern time, on a business day on which an Accelerated Purchase has been completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder (andunder the corresponding Regular Purchase) have been properly delivered to LPC in accordance with the Purchase Agreement prior to suchtime on such business day, and provided that the closing price of our common shares on the business day immediately preceding such businessday is not less than $1.00 per share, to purchase an additional amount of our common shares, which we refer to as an Additional AcceleratedPurchase, of up to the lesser of (i) 30% multiplied by the aggregate of our common shares traded during a certain portion of the normaltrading hours on the Additional Accelerated Purchase date as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, which period of timewe refer to as the Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period and (ii) three times the number of purchase shares purchased pursuantto the Regular Purchase corresponding to the Accelerated Purchase that was completed on such Accelerated Purchase Date on which an AdditionalAccelerated Purchase Notice was properly received.

 

We may, in our sole discretion, submit multipleAdditional Accelerated Purchase notices to LPC prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a single Accelerated Purchase Date, provided thatall prior Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases (including those that have occurred earlier on the same day) havebeen completed and all of the shares to be purchased thereunder (and under the corresponding Regular Purchase) have been properly deliveredto LPC in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

 

The purchase price per share for each such AdditionalAccelerated Purchase shall be equal to 96% of the lower of (i) the volume weighted average price of our common shares during the applicableAdditional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase date and (ii) the closing sale priceof our common shares on the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Date.

 

-12-

 

 

There is no upper limit on the price per sharethat LPC could be obligated to pay for the common shares under the Purchase Agreement.

 

In all instances, we may not issue common sharesto LPC under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in LPC beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common shares.

 

Other than as set forth above, there are no tradingvolume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any issuances of our commonshares to LPC.

 

Events of Default

 

Events of default under the Purchase Agreementinclude the following:

 

the effectiveness of the registrationstatement of which this prospectus is a part, or any future registration statement relating to the resale of shares issuable pursuantto the Purchase Agreement, lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or any required prospectussupplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for the resale by LPC of our common shares offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailabilitycontinues for a period of 10 consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of 30 business days in any 365-day period;

 

suspension by our principalmarket of our common shares from trading for a period of one full business day;

 

the de-listing of our commonshares from the NASDAQ Capital Market, provided our common shares are not immediately thereafter trading on The NASDAQ Global Market,The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE American, the NYSE Arca, the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets (or nationally recognized successorto any of the foregoing);

 

our transfer agent’sfailure for two business days to issue to LPC the common shares which LPC is entitled to receive under the Purchase Agreement;

any voluntary or involuntaryparticipation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us; or

 

if at any time we are not eligibleto transfer our common shares electronically.

 

LPC does not have the right to terminate the PurchaseAgreement upon any of the events of default set forth above. During an event of default, all of which are outside of LPC’s control,we cannot initiate any Regular Purchases or Additional Purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

 

-13-

 

 

Termination Rights

 

We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement,without any cost to us, at any time for any reason upon one business day’s prior written notice to LPC. In the event of bankruptcyproceedings by or against us, the Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate without action of any party.

 

LPC may not assign or transfer its rights andobligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

No Short-Selling or Hedging by LPC

 

LPC has represented to us that at no time priorto the Purchase Agreement has LPC or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directlyor indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common shares or anyhedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common shares. LPC agreed that during the term of thePurchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoingtransactions.

 

Prohibition of Certain Continuous Offerings

 

We agreed with LPC that we will not, for a periodcommencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement and ending on the later of: (i) the 30-month anniversary of the date of the PurchaseAgreement and (ii) the 30-month anniversary of the date of Commencement, in either case irrespective of any earlier termination of thePurchase Agreement, enter into any agreement relating to or otherwise effect any issuance of our securities in certain types of continuousofferings in which we may issue securities at a future determined price.

 

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreementon Our Shareholders

 

All 5,000,000 shares registered in this offeringare expected to be freely tradable. The sale by LPC of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time couldcause the market price of our common shares to decline and to be highly volatile. LPC may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the5,000,000 common shares registered in this offering. If we issue these shares to LPC, LPC may sell all, some or none of such shares. Therefore,issuances to LPC by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our commonshares. In addition, if we issue a substantial number of shares to LPC under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we willdo so, the actual issuance of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with LPC may make it more difficult for us to issue equityor equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such issuances. However, wehave the right to control the timing and amount of any issuances of our shares to LPC and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated byus at any time at our discretion without any cost to us upon one business day’s prior written notice to LPC.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement,we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct LPC to subscribe for up to $8,376,505 of our common shares over the remaining termof the Purchase Agreement. Depending on the price per share at which we issue our common shares to LPC, we may be authorized to issueto LPC under the Purchase Agreement more of our common shares than are offered under this prospectus. If we choose to do so, we must firstregister for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our shareholders.The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by LPC under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct LPC topurchase under the Purchase Agreement.

(1)Although the Purchase Agreementprovides that we may issue up to $8,376,505 of our common shares to LPC, we are only registering 5,000,000 common shares under this prospectus,which may or may not cover all of the common shares we ultimately issue to LPC under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the purchaseprice per common share. As a result, we have included in this column only the common shares that we are registering in this offering.

 

(2)The denominator is based on15,264,261 common shares outstanding as of February 4, 2022, plus the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column which we wouldhave sold to LPC at the applicable assumed average purchase price per share. The number of shares in such column does not include sharesthat may be issued to LPC under the Purchase Agreement which are not registered in this offering. The table does not give effect to theprohibition contained in the Purchase Agreement that prevents us from issuing to LPC shares such that, after giving effect to such issuance,LPC would beneficially own more than 4.99% of our common shares.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common shares, your interestwill be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per common share and the as adjusted net tangible book valueper common share after this offering.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had a net tangible bookvalue of $6.0 million, corresponding to a net tangible book value of $0.44 per common share. Net tangible book value per share representsthe amount of our total assets less our total liabilities, excluding intangible assets, divided by 13,643,130, the total number of ourcommon shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

 

After giving effect to the issuance by us of 5,000,000 common sharesto LPC at the assumed offering price of $1.27 per common share, the closing price of our common shares as listed on Nasdaq on February4, 2022, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value estimated as of June 30, 2021would have been $12,295,822, representing $0.66 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.22per common share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.61 per common share to LPC.Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the price per common share paid by LPC and net tangible book value per commonshare immediately after the completion of the offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilutionto LPC.

 

Assumed offering price per common share  $1.27 
Net tangible book value (deficit) per common share as of June 30, 2021  $0.44 
Increase in net tangible book value per common share attributable to LPC  $0.22 
As adjusted net tangible book value per common share after the offering  $0.66 
Dilution per common share to LPC  $0.61 
Percentage of dilution in net tangible book value per common share for LPC   48%

 

The above discussion and table are based on 13,643,130common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and excludes:

 

1,146,854 of our common sharesissuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of June 30, 2021 at a weighted average exercise price of $1.79 per commonshare; and

 

246,102 common shares issuableupon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2021 at a weighted average exercise price of $59.77 per common share.

 

1,621,131 of our common shares issued after June 30, 2021, consistingof 1,184,700 shares issued pursuant to a sales agreement, dated November 30, 2018, as amended, with A.G.P., 300,000 shares issued pursuantto the Purchase Agreement with LPC, and 136,431 shares pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

 

To the extent that outstanding options or warrantsare exercised, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions orstrategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additionalcapital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities may result in further dilutionto our shareholders.

EXPERTS

 

The financial statements of Altamira TherapeuticsLtd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, incorporated by referencein this Prospectus by reference to Altamira Therapeutics Ltd.’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020,have been audited by Deloitte AG, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report.

ENFORCEMENTOF JUDGMENTS

 

Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. is a Bermuda exemptedcompany. As a result, the rights of holders of its common shares will be governed by Bermuda law and its memorandum of continuation andbye-laws. The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.Many of our directors and some of the named experts referred to in this prospectus are not residents of the United States, and a substantialportion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of processon those persons in the United States or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or those personsbased on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. It is doubtful whether courts in Bermuda will enforce judgments obtainedin other jurisdictions, including the United States, against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictionsor entertain actions in Bermuda against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of other jurisdictions.

Item6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section98 of the Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liabilitywhich by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breachof trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guiltyin relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors againstany liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor orin which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act.

 

Wehave adopted provisions in our bye-laws that provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors in respect of their actions andomissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. Our bye-laws provide that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of actionthat they might have, individually or in right of the company, against any of the company’s directors or officers for any act orfailure to act in the performance of such director’s or officer’s duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty ofsuch director or officer. Section 98A of the Companies Act permits us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officeror director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust,whether or not we may otherwise indemnify such officer or director.

 

Wehave entered into indemnification agreements with each of the members of our board of directors and executive officers.

 

Insofaras indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers andcontrolling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, suchindemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
