Overview

 

PolarityTEis a clinical stage biotechnology company developing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials. PolarityTE’s first regenerativetissue product is SkinTE, which is intended for the repair, reconstruction, replacement, and supplementation of skin in patients whohave a need for treatment of acute or chronic wounds, burns, surgical reconstruction events, scar revision, or removal of dysfunctionalskin grafts.

 

Sincethe beginning of 2017, PolarityTE has incurred substantial operating losses and its operations have been financed primarily by publicequity financings. The clinical trials for SkinTE and the regulatory process will likely result in an increase in PolarityTE’sexpenses. PolarityTE will continue to incur substantial operating losses as we pursue an investigational new drug application (“IND”)and biologics license application (“BLA”), and PolarityTE expects to seek financing from external sources over the foreseeablefuture to fund its operations.

 

RegenerativeTissue Product

 

Ourfirst regenerative tissue product is SkinTE. On July 23, 2021, we submitted an IND for SkinTE to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(the “FDA”) through our subsidiary, PolarityTE MD, Inc. (“PTE-MD”), as the first step in the regulatory processfor obtaining licensure for SkinTE under Section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. The FDA subsequently issued clinical hold correspondenceto us identifying certain issues that needed to be addressed before the IND could be approved. We provided responses to the FDA, andon January 14, 2022, the FDA notified us that the clinical hold had been removed. The IND approval enables us to commence the first oftwo expected pivotal studies needed to support a BLA seeking a chronic cutaneous ulcer indication for SkinTE. Our first planned pivotalstudy under our IND is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial evaluating SkinTE in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (“DFUs”)classified as Grade 2 in the Wagner classification system (“Wagner 2 DFUs”) entitled “Closure Obtained with VascularizedEpithelial Regeneration for DFUs with SkinTE,” or “COVER DFUs Trial.” We plan to enroll up to 100 patients at up to20 sites in the U.S. in the COVER DFUs Trial, which will compare treatment with SkinTE plus the standard-of-care to the standard-of-carealone. The first subject was enrolled in the trial on April 27, 2022, and additional subjects have been screened and enrolled since then.The primary endpoint is the incidence of DFUs closed at 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints include percent area reduction (“PAR”)at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 weeks, improved quality of life, and new onset of infection of the DFU being evaluated.

 

InMarch 2022, we submitted to the FDA a request for a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (“RMAT”) designation for SkinTEunder our IND. Established under the 21st Century Cures Act, RMAT designation is a dedicated program designed to expedite the drug developmentand review processes for promising regenerative medicine products, including human cellular and tissue-based therapies. A regenerativemedicine therapy is eligible for RMAT designation if it is intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threateningdisease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug or therapy has the potential to address unmet medicalneeds for such disease or condition. RMAT designation provides the benefits of intensive FDA guidance on efficient drug development,including the ability for early interactions with the FDA to discuss potential ways to support accelerated approval and satisfy post-approvalrequirements, potential priority review of the BLA, and other opportunities to expedite development and review. By letter dated May 11,2022, we were advised by the FDA that it concluded SkinTE meets the criteria for RMAT designation for the treatment of DFUs and venousleg ulcers. The next step for us under the RMAT designation is to complete a Type B meeting with the FDA, which we expect to occur inthe third quarter of 2022 and is intended to be a multidisciplinary, comprehensive discussion between PolarityTE and the FDA regardingthe SkinTE development program, including planned clinical trials and plans for expediting the manufacturing development strategy.

Weexpect to incur significant operating costs in the next three to four years as we pursue the regulatory process for SkinTE with the FDA,conduct clinical trials and studies, and pursue product research, all while operating our business and incurring continuing fixed costsrelated to the maintenance of our assets and business. We expect to incur significant losses in the future, and those losses could bemore severe as a result of unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events. Our net losses may fluctuatesignificantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending upon the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures for satisfyingall the conditions of obtaining FDA licensure for SkinTE.

 

RecentDevelopments

 

Saleof IBEX

 

Atthe beginning of May 2018, we acquired a preclinical research and veterinary sciences business, which we have used for preclinical studieson our regenerative tissue products and to offer preclinical research services to unrelated third parties on a contract basis. We operatedthis business through our indirect subsidiary, IBEX Preclinical Research, Inc. (“IBEX”). Utah CRO Services, Inc., a Nevadacorporation (“Utah CRO”), is our direct subsidiary and held all the outstanding capital stock of IBEX (the “IBEX Shares”).Utah CRO also holds all the member interest of IBEX Property LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“IBEX Property”), thatowned two unencumbered parcels of real property in Logan, Utah, consisting of approximately 1.75 combined gross acres of land, togetherwith the buildings, structures, fixtures, and personal property (the “Property”), which was leased by IBEX Property to IBEXfor IBEX to conduct its preclinical research and veterinary sciences business.

 

OnApril 14, 2022, Utah CRO entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) with an unrelated third party (“Buyer”),pursuant to which Utah CRO agreed to sell all the outstanding IBEX Shares to Buyer in exchange for an unsecured promissory note in theprincipal amount of $400,000 bearing simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable interest only on a quarterly basis and allprincipal and remaining accrued interest due on the five-year anniversary of the closing of the sale of the IBEX Shares to Buyer. Furthermore,on April 14, 2022, IBEX Property entered into that certain Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Real Estate Agreement”)with another unrelated third party (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which IBEX Property agreed to sell to Purchaser the Propertyat a gross purchase price of $2.8 million payable in cash at closing of the transaction. The Buyer and Purchaser are affiliates as aresult of common ownership. On April 28, 2022, the parties to the Stock Agreement and Real Estate Agreement signed the documents requiredto close the transactions contemplated thereby and funds required to close the transaction under the Real Estate Agreement were depositedwith the title company handling the closing. Title documents were recorded, and funds disbursed on April 29, 2022, and we received thepromissory note described above in the principal amount of $400,000, which was consideration for sale of the IBEX common shares, andnet cash proceeds of $2.6 million, after deducting closing costs and advisory fees, from sale of the Property under the Real Estate Agreement.We do not expect to realize a significant gain or loss as a result of the sale.

 

OurBusiness Facility

 

OnDecember 27, 2017, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (“Lease”) with Adcomp LLC, or the landlord, pursuant to whichwe lease approximately 178,528 rentable square feet of warehouse, manufacturing, office, and lab space in Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Property”)from the landlord. The initial term of the Lease is five years and expires on November 30, 2022. Under the Lease we have a one-time optionto renew for an additional five years and an option to purchase the Property at a purchase price of $17.5 million. The initial base rentunder the Lease is $98,190 per month ($0.55 per sq. ft.) for the first year of the initial lease term and increases 3.0% per annum thereafter.

 

OnDecember 16, 2021, we gave written notice to the landlord of our election to exercise the option to purchase the Property, and on March14, 2022, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with the landlord that provides for a closing of the transaction onNovember 15, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with exercising the option to purchase the Property, we madean earnest money deposit of $150,000 that may be refunded if closing conditions or contingencies running in our favor are not satisfiedor the landlord defaults in its obligations under the Lease or the Purchase Agreement for the Property.

OnOctober 25, 2021, we signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement, the terms of which were finalized on December 10, 2021, and subsequently amendedby Amendment No. 1 thereto dated March 15, 2022 (the “BCG Agreement”), with BCG Acquisitions LLC (“BCG”), pursuantto which we agreed to sell the Property to BCG or its assigns for $17.5 million after our purchase of the Property described above. TheBCG Agreement provides that we and BCG will enter into at closing of the sale of the Property to BCG a 126-month lease, which is includedas an exhibit to the BCG Agreement, for approximately 62,500 square feet of space in the building on the Property. Under the BCG Agreement,BCG made an initial earnest money deposit totaling $200,000, which the parties subsequently agreed to reduce to $150,000, that will berefunded if we are unable to complete the purchase of the Property from the Landlord on a timely basis, closing conditions or contingenciesrunning in favor of BCG are not satisfied, or we default in our obligations under the BCG Agreement.

 

Theclosing of the transactions described above are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, satisfactionof all closing conditions, including obtaining financing for the purchase, and closing on the purchase of the Property from the landlordunder the Purchase Agreement, and satisfaction of all closing conditions, including obtaining financing for the purchase, and closingon the sale of the Property to BCG under the BCG Agreement.

  share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
  additions or departures of key personnel;
     
  changes in the structure of health care payment systems in the United States or overseas;
     
  failure of any of our products or product candidates to perform safely or effectively or achieve commercial success;
     
  economic and other external factors or other disasters or crises;
     
  period-to-period fluctuations in our financial condition and results of operations;
     
  general market conditions and market conditions for biopharmaceutical stocks; and
     
  overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets.

 

Inaddition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class actionlitigation against the company that issued the stock. Defending such litigation could result in substantial defense costs and divertthe time and attention of our management, which could seriously harm our business.

Inthe event that we fail to satisfy any of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted, whichcould affect our market price and liquidity.

 

Ourcommon stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be required to complywith the continued listing requirements, including the minimum market capitalization standard, the minimum stockholders’ equityrequirement, the corporate governance requirements, and the minimum closing bid price requirement, among other requirements. In the eventthat we fail to satisfy any of the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market our common stock may be delisted. If our securitiesare delisted from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and we are not able to list our securities on another exchange or to have themquoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Markets or on the Pink Open Market. As a result, we couldface significant adverse consequences including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
     
  a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which would require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage;
     
  a decreased ability to obtain additional financing because we would be limited to seeking capital from investors willing to invest in securities not listed on a national exchange; and
     
  the inability to use short-form registration statements on Form S-3, including the registration statement on Form S-3 we filed in February 2022, to facilitate offerings of our securities.

 

Futuresales of our common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

 

Salesof a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depressthe market price of our common stock, and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.As of June 16, 2022, we had 4,464,321 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which, other than shares held by our directorsand certain officers, were eligible for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to compliance with the requirements of Rule144, including the volume limitations and manner of sale requirements. Furthermore, there were 127,305 shares of common stock issuableupon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units that are eligible for sale in the public market as they vest, except for any limitationson our directors and certain officers under Rule 144.

 

Alarge number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and preferred investment options sold inthe Placements may be sold in the market, which may depress the market price of our common stock.

 

Atotal of 5,891,136 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (including the registered pre-funded warrantsissued in the RD Placement) and preferred investment options sold in the Placements will be registered for sale and resale by the SellingStockholder, subject to the limitation that the Selling Stockholder may not exercise the purchase rights for those securities to theextent that the Selling Stockholder would own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, which percentagemay be changed at the Selling Stockholder’s election to a lower percentage at any time or to a higher percentage not to exceed9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to us. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, a large number of shares issued in the Placements maybe sold in the market, which may depress the market price of our common stock and could cause the market price of our common stock todecline. If there are more shares of our common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price ofour common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of our common stock and sellersremain willing to sell the shares.

OurCharter, our Restated Bylaws and Delaware law could deter a change of our management, which could discourage or delay offers to acquireus.

 

Certainprovisions of Delaware law, of our Charter and by-laws could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest or otherchange in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock. It is possible that theseprovisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be intheir best interests or in our best interests. These provisions include:

 

  we have a classified Board requiring that members of the Board be elected in different years, which lengthens the time needed to elect a new majority of the Board;
     
  our Board is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be issued by our Board to increase the number of outstanding shares or change the balance of voting control and thwart a takeover attempt;
     
  stockholders are not entitled to remove directors other than by a two-thirds vote and only for cause;
     
  stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders;
     
  we require all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent; and
     
  stockholders must give advance notice to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholder meetings.

 

Weare subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitionsby prohibiting Delaware corporations from engaging in specified business combinations with particular stockholders of those companies.These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control transaction. They couldalso have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our common stock, including transactions that may be in yourbest interests. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management or limit the price that investors are willing to pay forour stock.

 

Becausewe do not expect to declare cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely on appreciation of thevalue of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Registered Pre-Funded Warrants and Preferred Investment Options for any returnon their investment.

 

Whilewe have in the past declared and paid cash dividends on our capital stock, we currently anticipate that we will retain future earningsfor the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not expect to declare or pay any additional cash dividends in theforeseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our common stock, if any, will provide a return to our stockholderswith respect to our common stock.

USEOF PROCEEDS

 

Wewill not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. Upon the cash exercise of the pre-fundedwarrants and preferred investment options we issued in the Placements, however, if all such securities are exercised, we will receivethe exercise price in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.6 million. If at the time of exercise there is no effective registrationstatement registering the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants and preferred investment options, or the prospectus contained ina registration statement is not available for the issuance of such shares, the pre-funded warrants and preferred investment options maybe exercised on a cashless basis, which would result in the underlying shares being issued without any further consideration paid tous. We intend to use the proceeds received from the exercise of pre-funded warrants and preferred investment rights, if any, for generalcorporate purposes and working capital, including among other things, capital expenditures and research and development expenses.

DESCRIPTIONOF THE SECURITIES

 

TheSelling Stockholder is offering up to 4,752,477 shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants andpreferred investment options issued in the Placements. The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of ourcapital stock, including the common stock the Selling Stockholder may offer under this prospectus. The following description of our capitalstock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws,which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by applicable law. The terms of our capitalstock may also be affected by Delaware law.

 

AuthorizedCapital Stock

 

Ourauthorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 25,000,000 shares of preferredstock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are undesignated preferred stock. As of June 16, 2022, we had 4,464,321 sharesof common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

CommonStock

 

Theholders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Theholders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably anydividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rightsof any outstanding preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemptionor sinking fund provisions.

 

Inthe event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assetsremaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. All outstandingshares are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Sharesof common stock issued or issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and preferred investment options,will be fully paid and non-assessable and will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights.

 

UndesignatedPreferred Stock

 

Ourboard of directors is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock in one or more series without stockholderapproval. Our board of directors may determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, dividendrights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

 

Thepurpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series and determine the number of shares in theseries and its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. Examples of rightsand preferences that the Board may fix are:

 

  dividend rights;
     
  conversion rights;
     
  voting rights;
     
  preemptive rights;
     
  terms of redemption;
     
  liquidation preferences;

 

13

 

 

  sinking fund terms; and
     
  the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock.

 

Theexistence of authorized but unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficultor to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if inthe due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interestsof us or our stockholders, our board of directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval inone or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer, stockholder,or stockholder group. The rights of holders of our common stock described above, will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by,the rights of any preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. The issuance of shares of undesignated preferred stockcould decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may alsoadversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring, orpreventing a change in control of us.

 

AntitakeoverEffects of Delaware Law and Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws

 

Certainprovisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and of our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws couldhave the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us unless such takeover or change ofcontrol is approved by the board of directors. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain typesof coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and, therefore, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the marketprice of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions are also designed in partto encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. These provisions might also havethe effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactionsthat stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. However, we believe that the advantages gained by protecting ourability to negotiate with any unsolicited and potentially unfriendly acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals,including those priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, the negotiation of suchproposals could improve their terms.

 

DelawareTakeover Statute. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder”for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination isapproved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibitedunless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

 

  before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
     
  upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
     
  at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

14

 

 

Section203 defines a business combination to include:

 

  any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
     
  any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, exchange, mortgage, or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
     
  subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
     
  subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
     
  the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

Ingeneral, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding votingstock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

 

Provisionsof our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amendedand restated bylaws include several provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiringcontrol of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate withour board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.

 

Boardcomposition and filling vacancies. In accordance with our restated certificate of incorporation, our board is divided into threeclasses serving staggered three-year terms, with one class being elected each year, subject to the rights of the holders of shares ofany series of our preferred stock then outstanding to elect additional directors under specified circumstances. Our restated certificateof incorporation also provides that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirdsor more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any seriesof our preferred stock then outstanding. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resultingfrom an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office evenif less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock thenoutstanding.

 

Nowritten consent of stockholders. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that all stockholder actions are required tobe taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consentin lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions and would prevent the amendmentof our bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholder without holding a meeting of stockholders.

 

Meetingsof stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors pursuant toa resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previouslyauthorized directorships, and upon written request from our corporate secretary, who shall be required to submit such a request statingthe purpose of such a meeting, if at least one-quarter of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitledto vote generally in the election of directors, requesting together as a single class, call for a special meeting. Only those mattersset forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws limitthe business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to the election of directors whose terms expire and for the transactionof such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

 

Advancenotice requirements. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures regarding stockholder proposals pertaining to the nominationof candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide thatnotice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action isto be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. The notice must contain certain information specifiedin our bylaws.

 

15

 

 

Amendmentto certificate of incorporation and bylaws. As required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, any amendment of our certificateof incorporation must be approved by a majority of our board of directors, and in addition to the vote of the holders of any class orseries of our capital stock required by applicable law or the certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of sharesof voting stock representing two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to votegenerally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, alter, repeal, or adopt any provisioninconsistent with Articles FIFTH (Management of PolarityTE), SIXTH (Board Size, Vacancies and Removals), SEVENTH (Amendment of the Bylaws),EIGHTH (Indemnification), NINTH (Director Personal Liability), TENTH (Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation), and TWELFTH (Section157 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) of the certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws may be amended or repealed by the affirmativevote of a majority vote of the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorizeddirectorships, subject to any limitations set forth in the bylaws, or by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting powerof all the outstanding shares of our capital stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class,at any meeting at which a proposal to amend or repeal the bylaws is properly presented.

 

Undesignatedpreferred stock. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorizedbut unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtaincontrol of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of us or our stockholders, our board ofdirectors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactionsthat might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard,our restated certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors’ broad power to establish the rights and preferences ofauthorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings andassets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers,including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control of us.

OnMarch 16, 2022, we sold to the Selling Stockholder in a registered direct offering an aggregate of $5,000,000 of preferred stock andcommon warrants consisting of: (i) 3,000.000435 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”); (ii) 2,000.00029shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Stock,” and together with the Series A Stock, the “PreferredStock”); and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 655,738 shares of common stock (the “March Warrants”).

Each common warrant has an exerciseprice of $8.75 per share and will become exercisable six months after the original issuance date and will expire two years followingthe issuance date. In connection with this transaction, we made an agreement with the Selling Stockholder to lower the exercise priceof the January 14 Warrants and January 22 Warrants to $8.75 per share and amend the exercise period for those warrants to commence onSeptember 16, 2022. The Preferred Stock was subsequently converted to common stock by the Selling Stockholder.

 

Concurrentlywith the closing of this registered direct offering we called a special meeting of stockholders to approve an amendment to our restatedcertificate of incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-25 reverse split in the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Series A Stockwas entitled to vote on an as converted basis on the proposed amendment (131 votes per share of Series A Stock). The Series B Stock wasentitled vote up to 120,000 votes per share on the proposed amendment. Further, the votes of the Series B Stock on the proposed amendmentwould be voted in a manner that mirrors the proportions on which the shares of common stock and Series A Stock were voted on the proposedamendment. In the securities purchase agreement for the Preferred Stock the Selling Stockholder agreed to vote the shares of PreferredStock for the proposed amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split, and the shares ofPreferred Stock were so voted by the Selling Stockholder.

 

TheSelling Stockholder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the January 14 Warrants, January 22 Warrants, or MarchWarrants to the extent that the Selling Stockholder would own more than 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of said holder) of the outstandingcommon stock immediately after exercise, which percentage may be changed at the Selling Stockholder’s election to a lower percentageat any time or to a higher percentage not to exceed 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to PolarityTE.

Item14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporationagainst expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurredin connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of thecorporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interestsof the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reason to believe his or her conductwas unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), indemnification may be provided only forexpenses actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action orsuit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interestsof the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation,unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly andreasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

 

Pursuantto Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article NINTH of the Company’s certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a directorto the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for such a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising:

 

  from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Polarity or its stockholders;
  from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  under Section 174 of the DGCL; or
  from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Inaddition, the Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to bemade a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Company oris or was serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation, or of a partnership, jointventure, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceedingis alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officeror trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expense, liabilityand loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonablyincurred or suffered by such.

 

26

 

 

Further,the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors and executive officers that may bebroader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements require the Company, amongother things, to indemnify the Company’s directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of theirstatus or service. These indemnification agreements also require the Company to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executiveofficers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding.

 

Theindemnification provisions contained in the DGCL, the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are included in theCompany’s certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements that the Company has enteredinto with its directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Company’s directorsand executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against theCompany’s directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Company and other stockholders.Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Company pays the costs of settlement and damageawards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

 

Section145(g) of the DGCL 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 such at any other enterprise against anyliability asserted against and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whetheror not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL. Consistent with the DGCL,the Company has obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to the Company’sdirectors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts asa director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to the Company with respect to paymentsthat may be made by the Company to these directors and executive officers pursuant to the Company’s indemnification obligationsor otherwise as a matter of law.

 

Insofaras indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling thecompany pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is againstpublic policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
