Overview
We are a life science company committed to realizing the potential of mRNA cell engineering to provide patients with transformational new medicines. We have in-licensed a portfolio of over 100 patents covering key mRNA cell engineering technologies, including technologies for mRNA cell reprogramming, mRNA gene editing, the NoveSliceTM and UltraSliceTM gene-editing proteins, and the ToRNAdoTM mRNA delivery system, which we collectively refer to as our “mRNA technology platform.” We plan to develop and advance a pipeline of therapeutic products, both internally and through strategic partnerships, with the near-term focus on deploying our mRNA technology platform through strategic partnerships. We license our mRNA technology platform from Factor Bioscience Limited under an exclusive license agreement.
Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder
On April 5, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions, from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 5, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to register for resale under the Securities Act, the shares of our common stock that have and may be issued to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement.
This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the Selling Stockholder of up to 2,930,237 shares of common stock, consisting of (i) 73,659 Commitment Shares and (ii) up to 2,856,578 shares of common stock that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder from time to time from and after the Commencement Date (as defined below) under the Purchase Agreement.
We do not have the right to commence any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement until certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of the Selling Stockholder’s control, have been satisfied, including that the SEC has declared effective the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (the “Commencement Date”). Thereafter, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion for a period that ends on the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Maturity Date”), on any business day that we select on which the closing sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $0.50 per share, direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to 30,000 shares of our common stock, which amount may be increased depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale, subject to a maximum commitment of $1,000,000 per purchase (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”). The maximum number of shares the Company may sell to the Selling Stockholder in a Regular Purchase may be increased by certain amounts to up to 90,000 shares, with the applicable maximum share limit determined by whether the closing sale price per share of common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the applicable purchase date for such Regular Purchase equals or exceeds certain minimum price thresholds set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase other “accelerated amounts” or “additional accelerated amounts” under certain circumstances, as described in more detail in “The Lincoln Park Transaction.” We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price of the shares of our common stock that may be sold to the Selling Stockholder in Regular Purchases under the Purchase Agreement will be based on the market price of our common stock at or preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share will be equitably adjusted as provided in the Purchase Agreement for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Following the satisfaction of conditions for the commencement

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks below and the risk and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to purchase our common stock. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to this Offering
The issuance and sale of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder may cause dilution to our other stockholders and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the Selling Stockholder, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On April 5, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of our shares of common stock. Upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we issued 73,659 Commitment Shares to the Selling Stockholder as consideration for its commitment to purchase our shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The remaining shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to the Selling Stockholder at our discretion from time to time over a 24-month period commencing after the Commencement Date. The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of such shares by the Selling Stockholder may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall.
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any future sales of our shares to the Selling Stockholder. Any sales of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we sell shares to the Selling Stockholder, the Selling Stockholder may then resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information. Therefore, our sales to the Selling Stockholder could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of common stock we may sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Lincoln Park at our discretion from time to time over an approximately 24-month period commencing on the Commencement Date.
We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $10.0 million of shares of common stock, subject to the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement. Sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock at the time we elect to sell shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.
Moreover, although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park, only 2,930,237 shares of common stock are being registered under the Securities Act

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for resale by Lincoln Park under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, consisting of (i) the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement and (ii)  2,856,578 shares of our common stock that we may elect to sell to Lincoln Park, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date under the Purchase Agreement.
If, after the Commencement Date, we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder the 2,930,237 shares of common stock being registered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus that are available for sale by us to the selling stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the market prices of our common stock at the time of such sales, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares of common stock by us to Lincoln Park may be substantially less than the $10,000,000 total purchase commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.
If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Lincoln Park shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) under the Purchase Agreement in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $10,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, then for so long as the Exchange Cap continues to apply to issuances and sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, we must first obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Furthermore, if we elect to issue and sell to Lincoln Park more than the 2,856,578 shares of our common stock that registered for resale by Lincoln Park hereunder, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act for resale by Lincoln Park such additional shares of our common stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of common stock in addition to the 2,930,237 shares of common stock being registered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares of our common stock ultimately offered for sale by Lincoln Park is dependent upon the number of shares of common stock, if any, we ultimately sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and number of shares sold to Lincoln Park. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Lincoln Park in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and may therefore experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Lincoln Park in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to Lincoln Park at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds, if any, from our sale of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park, and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park, and we could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We may not have access to the full amount available under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park. We may require additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations, and the terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.
We may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock in a Regular Purchase from time to time under the Purchase Agreement over a 24-month period generally in daily amounts up to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

30,000 shares of our common stock, which may be increased to up to 90,000 shares of our common stock depending on the closing sale price of our common stock at the time of sale, provided that Lincoln Park’s maximum purchase obligation under any single Regular Purchase shall not exceed $1,000,000. Moreover, under certain circumstances as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of common stock in “Accelerated Purchases,” and “Additional Accelerated Purchases” (each as defined below) as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Depending on the prevailing market price of our common stock, we may not be able to sell shares to Lincoln Park for the maximum $10,000,000 over the term of the Purchase Agreement. We will need to seek stockholder approval before issuing more than the Exchange Cap limit of 1,024,901 shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, unless the average price per share of common stock for all shares of common stock sold by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $3.6094 per share (representing the lower of the official closing price of the common stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement and the average official closing price of the common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, as adjusted under applicable Nasdaq rules to take into account the issuance of Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park in exchange for non-cash consideration), such that the Exchange Cap limitation would no longer apply to issuances and sales of common stock by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, Lincoln Park will not be required to purchase any shares of our common stock if such purchase would result in Lincoln Park’s beneficial ownership of our common stock exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Our inability to access a portion or the full amount available under the Purchase Agreement, in the absence of any other financing sources, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial position.
The extent to which we rely on Lincoln Park as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. Assuming a purchase price of $3.29 (which represents the closing price of our common stock on April 13, 2023), the purchase by Lincoln Park of the entire 2,856,578 shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement and being registered for resale by Lincoln Park hereunder would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $9,400,000. If obtaining sufficient funding from Lincoln Park were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we will need to secure other sources of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we sell all $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, we may still need additional capital to finance our future business plans and working capital needs, and we may have to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities.
Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders’ rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. A financing could involve one or more types of securities, including preferred stock, common stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common or preferred stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common stock. In addition, if we issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid. Interest on these debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results and liquidity. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.
Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

THE LINCOLN PARK TRANSACTION
General
On April 5, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement.
Also on April 5, 2023, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we filed with the SEC the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register under the Securities Act for resale by Lincoln Park up to 2,930,237 shares of common stock, consisting of (i) the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we previously issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock at our direction from time to time after the Commencement Date under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 2,856,578 shares of our common stock that we may elect to sell to Lincoln Park, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date under the Purchase Agreement.
We do not have the right to commence any sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement until all of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement have been satisfied on the Commencement Date, including that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC. From and after the Commencement Date, on any business day that we select as the purchase date therefor (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) on which the closing sale price of our common stock is not below $0.50 share (the “Floor Price”), we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion for a period of up to 24-months after the Commencement Date, by written notice delivered by us to Lincoln Park, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) in a Regular Purchase, at a purchase price per share that will be determined and fixed in accordance with the Purchase Agreement at the time we deliver such written notice to Lincoln Park on the purchase date for such Regular Purchase. The maximum share limit for a Regular Purchase shall be increased to higher share threshold amounts in the Purchase Agreement, up to a maximum share limit of 90,000 shares of common stock, with the applicable maximum share limit determined by whether the closing price for our common stock on the applicable purchase date exceeds certain price thresholds set forth in the Purchase Agreement, in each case, subject to adjustment for any recapitalization, non-cash dividend, forward or reverse stock split or other similar transactions as provided in the Purchase Agreement; however, Lincoln Park’s maximum purchase commitment in any single regular purchase may not exceed $1,000,000. The purchase price per share of common stock sold in each such Regular Purchase, if any, will be based on market prices of the common stock over a specified period immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement.
In addition, at our discretion, Lincoln Park has committed to purchase other “accelerated amounts” or “additional accelerated amounts” under certain circumstances. We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park. The purchase price per share of common stock sold in each such Accelerated Purchase and Additional Accelerated Purchase, if any, will be based on market prices of the common stock on the applicable purchase dates for such Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases as computed under the Purchase Agreement.
Under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules, in no event may we issue to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement more than the Exchange Cap limit of 1,024,901 shares of our common stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, unless (i) the Company first obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing rules, or (ii) at the time the Company has issued shares of common stock equal to the Exchange Cap and at all times thereafter, the average price per share of common stock for all shares of common stock sold by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $3.6094 per share (representing the lower of the official closing price of the common stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement and the average official closing price of the common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, as adjusted under applicable Nasdaq rules to take into account the issuance of Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park for non-cash consideration), such that the Exchange Cap limitation would no longer apply to issuances and sales of common stock by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement under applicable Nasdaq listing rules.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits the Company from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has no right to require the Company to sell any shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases of common stock as the Company directs, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Neither we nor Lincoln Park may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement without consent of the other party, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by the Company or Lincoln Park.
Actual sales of shares of common stock by the Company to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.
As consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock from us at our direction from time to time from and after the Commencement Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, promptly following our execution of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, we issued 73,659 Commitment Shares to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023. All 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park are included in the 2,930,237 shares of common stock being registered under the Securities Act for resale by Lincoln Park under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
As of April 13, 2023, there were 5,200,729 shares of common stock outstanding (which includes the 73,659 Commitment Shares we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 in consideration of Lincoln Park’s obligation to purchase shares of our common stock at our direction under the Purchase Agreement), of which 1,119,903 shares were held by affiliates of the Company. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may, in our discretion, from time to time after the date of this prospectus and during the term of the Purchase Agreement, direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares of our common stock from us in one or more purchases under the Purchase Agreement, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of up to $10,000,000, only 2,930,237 shares of common stock (73,659 of which represent the Commitment Shares that have been issued by us to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023, for which we will receive no cash proceeds) are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. If, in addition to the 73,659 Commitment Shares that are currently outstanding, all of the additional 2,856,578 shares of common stock offered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation applicable to issuances and sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement) were issued and outstanding as of April 13, 2023, such shares would represent approximately 35.45% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding, and approximately 41.18% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates of the Company, in each case as of April 13, 2023.
Purchases of Shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement
Regular Purchases
From and after the Commencement Date, on any business day that we select as the purchase date therefor on which the closing sale price of our common stock is not below the Floor Price (and provided all shares of common stock subject to all prior Regular Purchases that we have effected under the Purchase Agreement, if any, have been received by Lincoln Park before we deliver notice to Lincoln Park for such Regular Purchase in accordance with the Purchase Agreement), the Company may, by written notice delivered by us to Lincoln Park, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock on such purchase date in a Regular Purchase, provided, however, that the maximum number of shares we may sell to Lincoln Park in a Regular Purchase may be increased to:
up to 40,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock on the applicable purchase date is not below $4.50;
up to 50,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock on the applicable purchase date is not below $5.00; and
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

up to 90,000 shares, provided that the closing sale price of the common stock on the applicable purchase date is not below $6.00 (each of such share and dollar amounts subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the Purchase Agreement).
In any case, however, Lincoln Park’s maximum purchase commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1,000,000.
The purchase price per share of common stock sold in each such Regular Purchase, if any, will be equal to the lower of:
the lowest sale price for our common stock on the purchase date for such Regular Purchase; and
the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 10 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date for such Regular Purchase.
Accelerated Purchases
In addition to Regular Purchases described above, on any purchase date for a Regular Purchase on which we have properly submitted a Regular Purchase notice directing Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that we are then permitted to include in a single Regular Purchase notice (and provided all shares of common stock subject to all prior Regular Purchases, Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases that we have effected under the Purchase Agreement prior to such purchase date, if any, have been received by Lincoln Park before we deliver notice to Lincoln Park for such Accelerated Purchase in accordance with the Purchase Agreement), we may, by written notice delivered by us to Lincoln Park simultaneously with such Regular Purchase notice for such corresponding Regular Purchase, direct Lincoln Park to purchase an additional amount of our common stock, which we refer to as an “Accelerated Purchase,” on the next business day following such purchase date for such corresponding Regular Purchase, which we refer to as the “Accelerated Purchase Date,” not to exceed the lesser of:
30% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date, the portion of the normal trading hours 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
300% of the number of shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase.
The purchase price per share for the shares of common stock subject to an Accelerated Purchase will be equal to 96% of the lower of:
the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date; and
the closing sale price of our common stock on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date.
Additional Accelerated Purchases
We may also direct Lincoln Park, by written notice delivered to Lincoln Park not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on an Accelerated Purchase Date (and provided all shares of common stock subject to all prior Regular Purchases, Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases that we have effected under the Purchase Agreement, including those prior Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases effected on the same Accelerated Purchase Date as the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase, if any, have been received by Lincoln Park in accordance with the Purchase Agreement before we deliver notice to Lincoln Park for such Additional Accelerated Purchase), to purchase an additional amount of our common stock on such same Accelerated Purchase Date, which we refer to as an “Additional Accelerated Purchase,” of up to the lesser of:
30% of the aggregate number of shares of our common stock traded during the portion of the normal trading hours on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, which period of time on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date we refer to as the Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period; and
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

300% of the number of shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the Regular Purchase corresponding to the Accelerated Purchase effected on such same Accelerated Purchase Date.
The purchase price per share for the shares subject to an Additional Accelerated Purchase will be equal to 96% of the lower of:
the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase Measurement Period for such Additional Accelerated Purchase; and
the closing sale price of our common stock on the applicable same Accelerated Purchase Date.
We may, in our sole discretion, submit multiple Additional Accelerated Purchase notices to Lincoln Park prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a single Accelerated Purchase Date, again provided all shares of common stock subject to all prior Regular Purchases, Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases, including those prior Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases effected on the same Accelerated Purchase Date as the applicable Additional Accelerated Purchase have been properly delivered to Lincoln Park in accordance with the Purchase Agreement prior to such time.
In the case of Regular Purchases, Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases, the purchase prices per share of common stock to be sold therein will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during the business days used to compute the purchase price.
Other than as described above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park.
Suspension Events
“Suspension Events” under the Purchase Agreement include the following:
the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or any required prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for the resale by Lincoln Park of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues 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 principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of one business day;
the de-listing of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our principal market, or any nationally recognize successor thereto, unless our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NYSE American, the NYSE Arca, or the OTCQX Best Market or the OTCQB Venture Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any nationally recognized successors thereto);
the failure of our transfer agent to issue to Lincoln Park shares of our common stock within two business days after the applicable date on which Lincoln Park is entitled to receive such shares of our common stock;
our breach of any of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement that has or could have a material adverse effect on us and, in the case of a breach of a covenant that is reasonably curable, that is not cured within five consecutive business days;
any voluntary or involuntary participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us;
if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically; or
if at any time we have issued and sold under the Purchase Agreement an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to the Exchange Cap (to the extent applicable under the terms of the Purchase Agreement) and our stockholders have not approved the issuance of shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing rules.
Lincoln Park does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the Suspension Events set forth above, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, although the Purchase Agreement would automatically terminate without any action of the Company or Lincoln Park in the event of any
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company that are not discharged within 90 days. So long as a Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing, or if any event which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would reasonably be expected to become a Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing, we may not direct Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement.
Our Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon one business day’s prior written notice to Lincoln Park. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company that are not discharged within 90 days, the Purchase Agreement would automatically terminate without any action of the Company or Lincoln Park. No termination of the Purchase Agreement will be effective during the pendency of any Regular Purchase, Accelerated Purchase or Additional Accelerated Purchase that has not then fully settled in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
No Short-Selling or Hedging by Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park has represented to us that at no time prior to the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement has Lincoln Park or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to our common stock. Lincoln Park agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.
Prohibitions on Similar Transactions
There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, except the Company is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, during the term of the Purchase Agreement or 90 days following the effective date of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, whichever occurs first, from effecting or entering into any agreement to effect an “equity line of credit”, “at-the-market offering” or other similar offering with another third party in which the Company may issue and sell common stock, from time to time over a certain period of time, at future determined prices based on the market prices of the common stock at the time of each such issuance and sale. The foregoing prohibition is subject to certain exceptions, including that we may issue shares of common stock in an “at-the-market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act exclusively through one or more registered broker-dealer(s) acting as our agent(s) pursuant to a written agreement between us and such registered broker-dealer(s).
Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders
All shares of our common stock being registered for resale hereunder which may be issued or sold by us to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold from time to time over a period of up to 24-months commencing on the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to Lincoln Park. Sales of our common stock, if any, to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock at the time we elect to sell shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.
If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after Lincoln Park has acquired such shares, Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time

or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from Lincoln Park in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from Lincoln Park in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to Lincoln Park at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.
Moreover, although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may, in our discretion, from time to time after the date of this prospectus and during the term of the Purchase Agreement, direct Lincoln Park to purchase shares of our common stock from us in one or more purchases under the Purchase Agreement, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of up to $10,000,000, only 2,930,237 shares of common stock (73,659 of which represent the Commitment Shares that have been issued by us to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023, for which we will receive no cash proceeds) are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Therefore, only 2,856,578 of such shares of common stock represent shares that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park for cash consideration in purchases under the Purchase Agreement from time to time, at our sole discretion, during the 24-month period commencing on the Commencement Date. If after the Commencement Date we elect to sell to the selling stockholder all of the 2,856,578 shares of common stock being registered for resale under this prospectus that are available for sale by us to the selling stockholder in purchases under the Purchase Agreement, depending on the market prices of our common stock at the time of such sales, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $10,000,000 total purchase commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.
If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Lincoln Park shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $10,000,000 in under the Purchase Agreement, then for so long as the Exchange Cap continues to apply to issuances and sales of common stock under the Purchase Agreement, we must first obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing rules. Furthermore, if we elect to issue and sell to Lincoln Park more than the 2,856,578 shares of our common stock that we may elect to issue and sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement that are being registered for resale by Lincoln Park hereunder, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act for resale by Lincoln Park such additional shares of our common stock, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any such additional shares of our common stock. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of common stock in addition to the 2,930,237 shares of common stock being registered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders.
The number of shares of common stock ultimately resold by Lincoln Park through this prospectus is dependent upon the total number of shares of common stock, if any, we elect to issue and sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date and during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Issuances of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares of our common stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares of our common stock after any such issuance of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from Lincoln Park from our sale of up to 2,856,578 shares of our common stock (which excludes the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023, for which we will receive no cash proceeds) that we are registering hereby that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park in the future under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices from and after the Commencement Date:

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $10,000,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park, we are only registering 2,930,237 shares of our common stock for resale under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, including the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 in consideration of Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares of our common stock at our direction under the Purchase Agreement, for which received no cash proceeds. Therefore, only 2,856,578 of such shares represent shares that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park for cash consideration in purchases under the Purchase Agreement. We have included in this column only the 2,856,578 shares that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park for cash consideration in purchases under the Purchase Agreement that are being registered for resale in the offering made by this prospectus (excluding the 73,659 Commitment Shares), giving effect to the Exchange Cap but without regard for the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any common stock by the Selling Stockholder offered under this prospectus, but we will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock being offered for resale hereunder by the Selling Stockholder.
We may receive up to $10.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds under the Purchase Agreement from any sales we make to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The net proceeds, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder after the date of this prospectus. Because we are not obligated to sell any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, other than the Commitment Shares, the actual total offering amount and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information. We expect to use any proceeds that we receive under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of the material terms of our capital stock is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read our restated certificate of incorporation, including the amendments thereto, which we refer to as our certificate of incorporation, and our amended and restated bylaws, which we refer to our bylaws, in its entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our capital stock.
Authorized and Outstanding Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “preferred stock”). A total of 156,112 shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of March 20, 2023, 5,127,070 shares of common stock were outstanding and 156,112 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Votes may be cast in person or by proxy. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to election of directors.
Dividends
The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends of $0.10 per share per annum, payable semiannually in equal installments of $0.05 per share on June 1 and December 1 of each year. After the requirements with respect to the preferential dividends of the preferred stock have been met, holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared and paid on common stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.
Liquidation and Dissolution
In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock.
Other Rights
Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights and there are no sinking fund provisions with respect to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock. All of the shares of the common stock currently issued and outstanding are fully-paid and nonassessable.
Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware General Corporation Law may have Anti-Takeover Effects
Our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and are designed in part to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the board of directors.
Number of Directors; Vacancies
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of directors is established by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the composition of a majority of the board. The board has the exclusive right to elect a director to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship.
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Removal of Directors
A director may be removed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of our stockholders can only be called by the board of directors. These provisions may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Delaware Business Combination Statute
We are a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Under Section 203, certain “business combinations” between a Delaware corporation whose stock is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an “interested stockholder” are prohibited for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
the corporation has elected in its certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203;
the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the date of the business combination or the date such stockholder became an interested stockholder, as applicable;
upon consummation of the transaction that made such stockholder an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the “voting stock” (as defined in Section 203) of the corporation outstanding at the commencement of the transaction excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender stock held by the plan in a tender or exchange offer; or
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the stockholders (acting at a meeting and not by written consent) by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not “owned” (as defined in Section 203) by the interested stockholder.
The three-year prohibition also does not apply to some business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of an extraordinary transaction involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors. The term “business combination” is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder, transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The term “interested stockholder” is defined generally as those stockholders who become beneficial owners of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock, together with the affiliates or associates of that stockholder.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered, changed or repealed in any manner prescribed by law; provided, that (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all

Exclusive Forum Selection
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the a state court located in the State of Delaware (or if no state court has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to our company or stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling stockholder, Lincoln Park, of up to 2,930,237 shares of our common stock, consisting of: (i) 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 2,856,578 shares of common stock that we have reserved for issuance and sale to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from time to time from and after the Commencement Date, if and when we determine to sell shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement.
We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with Lincoln Park on April 5, 2023 concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement, in which we agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to resales by Lincoln Park of the shares of our common stock that have been or may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of the shares of common stock included in this prospectus. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares of our common stock before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares of common stock. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder as of April 13, 2023. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are based on 5,200,729 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 13, 2023, which includes the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 following our execution of the Purchase Agreement on April 5, 2023. The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholder has been obtained from the selling stockholder.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the person named below.
Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of common stock being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder, we are referring to the shares of common stock that have been and may be issued and sold by us to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.

Josh Scheinfeld and Jonathan Cope, the Managing Members of Lincoln Park Capital, LLC, the manager of Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, are deemed to be beneficial owners of all of the shares of common stock owned directly by Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC. Messrs. Cope and Scheinfeld have shared voting and investment power over the shares of common stock being offered under the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

Represents the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 as consideration for its commitment to purchase our common stock at our direction under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the 2,856,578 shares of our common stock that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement from and after commencement that are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, because the issuance and sale of such shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement is solely at our discretion and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, including the registration statement that includes this prospectus becoming and remaining effective under the Securities Act. Furthermore, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, issuances and sales of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are subject to certain limitations on the amounts we may sell to Lincoln Park at any time, including the Exchange Cap and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. See the description under the heading “The Lincoln Park Transaction” for more information about the Purchase Agreement.

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $10,000,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park, we are only registering 2,930,237 shares of our common stock for resale under this prospectus, including the 73,659 Commitment Shares that we issued to Lincoln Park on April 6, 2023 as consideration for its commitment to purchase our common stock at our direction under the Purchase Agreement, for which we will receive no cash proceeds. Therefore, only 2,856,578 of such shares represent shares that we may issue and sell to Lincoln Park for cash consideration in purchases under the Purchase Agreement from time to time, at our sole discretion, during the 24-month period commencing on the Commencement Date. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may need to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the full $10,000,000 available to us under
