PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
following is a summary of what we believe to be the most important aspects of our business and the offering of our securities under this
prospectus. We urge you to read this entire prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated
financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC. Investing in our securities

About
Incannex Healthcare Inc.
We
are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative medicines for patients living with serious chronic
diseases and significant unmet needs. We are advancing oral synthetic cannabinoid and psilocybin drug candidates targeting sleep apnea,
anxiety, and inflammatory diseases. Our lead programs include IHL-42X, an oral fixed dose combination of dronabinol and acetazolamide,
designed to act synergistically in the treatment of OSA, in a global Phase 2/3 study for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, PSX-001
in a Phase 2 trial conducted in the U.S. and UK to assess the combination of an oral synthetic psilocybin treatment with psychotherapy
for patients with generalized anxiety disorder, and IHL-675A, an oral fixed dose combination of cannabidiol and hydroxychloroquine sulfate,
acting synergistically to alleviate inflammation, in an Australian Phase 2 trial. Each of these programs target indications that have
limited, inadequate, or no approved pharmaceutical treatment options.
To
date, we have not generated any revenue and do not expect to generate significant revenue from the sale of our drug candidates in development
in the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our drug candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval, we may
generate revenue in the future from these sales. We cannot predict if, when, or to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization
and sale of our drug candidates. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any of our drug candidates.
Implications
of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company
We
are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
We may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have
our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden
parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of
the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier. We will cease to be an emerging growth company
prior to the end of such period if certain earlier events occur, including if we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined
in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible
debt in any three-year period.
Under
the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards
apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until the earlier of the date we
(i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided
in the JOBS Act.
We
are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company
even after we are no longer an emerging growth company, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions available
to emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. We will be able to take advantage of the scaled
disclosures available to smaller reporting companies for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is
less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million
during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0
million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties and all other information,
documents or reports included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and, if applicable, any prospectus supplement or other
offering materials, including the risks and uncertainties discussed and described in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2024, as updated by our subsequent
filings with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference, in this prospectus, and any updates to those risk factors
included from time to time in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before
making any decision to invest in shares of our Common Stock. If any of the events discussed in these risk factors occurs, our business,
prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially harmed. If that were to happen, the trading
price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not currently known to us
or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations .
Risks
Related to this Offering
It
is difficult to predict the actual number of shares we will issue upon conversion of the First Tranche Debenture and under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement.
The
conversion price of the First Tranche Debenture is based on the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common
Stock during a specified period of time and is also subject to adjustment for certain security issuances by us deemed to be below the
conversion price, all subject to a floor price of $0.33 per share. Accordingly, the exact number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the First Tranche Debenture cannot be determined at this time and may change over time.
In
addition, under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share to be paid by the Arena Global for the shares of our common
stock that we may elect to sell to Arena Global, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable
Pricing Period (as defined below). Additionally, the price per share on which the Commitment Shares is based will fluctuate based on
VWAP of our Common Stock during the applicable time periods following and preceding the date of initial effectiveness of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part during which the VWAP for such issuable shares is calculated. The Commitment Shares are
also subject to a true-up based on based on market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable time periods during which the VWAP
for the true-up is calculated. As a result, 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 our common stock that we will sell to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the number
of Commitment Shares we will issue to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Arena Global
will pay for shares purchased from us under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those
purchases by Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any.
Therefore,
because the market prices of our Common Stock may fluctuate from time to time after the date of this prospectus and the actual purchase
prices to be paid by Arena Global for shares of our Common Stock that we direct it to purchase under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if
any, also may fluctuate, it is possible that we may need to issue and sell more than the number of shares being registered for resale
under this prospectus to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to Arena Global’s
$50 million Commitment Amount under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
If
it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement more shares of our Common Stock than
are being registered for resale under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $50 million from sales of
our Common Stock to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration
statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by Arena Global of any such additional shares of our common stock we wish
to sell to Arena Global from time to time under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and the SEC must declare such additional registration statements
effective before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our Common Stock to Arena Global under the Purchase Agreement. The number
of shares of our Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by Arena Global is dependent upon the number of shares of our Common Stock,
if any, we ultimately sell to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
Investors
who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution
and different outcomes in their investment results. The selling stockholders may sell such shares at different times and at different
prices. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the selling stockholders in this offering as
a result of sales made by us in future transactions to the selling stockholders at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The
issuance of Common Stock to the selling stockholders may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of such
shares acquired by the selling stockholders could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
We
are registering for resale by the selling stockholders up to 61,389,758 shares of Common Stock, consisting of up to 50,000,000 shares
of Common Stock issuable to Arena Global under the equity line, (ii) up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Arena Global as a
commitment fee, (iii) up to 585,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the ELOC Warrant, (iv) up to 10,101,009 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the First Tranche Debenture, and (v) up to 453,749 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the First Tranche Warrant. The number of shares of our Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by the selling stockholders under
this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares converted under the First Tranche Debenture, the number of shares issued upon
exercise of the Warrants, and the number of shares issued under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Depending on a variety of factors, including
market liquidity of our Common Stock, the issuance of shares to selling stockholders may cause the trading price of our Common Stock
to decline.
In
particular, the purchase price of our Common Stock to be sold to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement is derived from the market
price of our common stock on Nasdaq. Shares to be sold to Arena Global pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a
discounted price. We may effect sales at a price equal to 96% of the market price, defined as the VWAP of our Common Stock on the trading
day commencing on the date of the Advance Notice (as defined below).
If
and when we do issue shares to the selling stockholders, after the selling stockholders have acquired the shares, the selling stockholders
may resell all, some, or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to the selling stockholders
by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, the sale or issuance
of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock to the selling stockholders, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more
difficult for us to sell securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such financing.
We
expect to require additional capital to fund our operations, and we may be unable to raise capital or additional financing when needed
on acceptable terms, or at all.
We
expect to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future to fund our operations and execute our business plan. Our business plans
may change, general economic, financial or political conditions in our markets may deteriorate or other circumstances may arise, in each
case that have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and the anticipated cash needs of our business. Any of these events or circumstances
could result in significant additional funding needs, requiring us to raise additional capital. We cannot predict the timing or amount
of any such capital requirements at this time. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or at all, we may be unable to expand
our business at the rate desired and our results of operations may suffer. In addition, any financing through issuances of equity securities
would be dilutive to holders of our shares.
Our
need for future financing may result in the issuance of additional securities, which will cause investors to experience dilution.
Our
cash requirements may vary from those now planned. We expect our expenses to increase as we continue to develop our drug candidates.
Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Other than pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the ELOC Purchase Agreement, each of which have conditions to be met in order to receive funding,
there are no other formal agreements by any person for future financing. Our securities may be offered to other investors at a price
lower than the price per share offered to current stockholders, or upon terms which may be deemed more favorable than those offered to
current stockholders. In addition, the issuance of securities in any future financing may dilute an investor’s equity ownership
and have the effect of depressing the market price for our securities. Moreover, we may issue derivative securities, including options
and/or warrants, from time to time, to procure qualified personnel or for other business reasons. The issuance of any such derivative
securities, which is at the discretion of our board of directors, may further dilute the equity ownership of our stockholders.
Our
management team will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds from our sale or issuance of Common Stock to the selling stockholder.
You may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our
management team will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock to the selling stockholders,
and we could use such proceeds 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 team with regard to the use of those 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 proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management team
to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE TRANSACTIONS
$50
MILLION EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
On
September 6, 2024, we entered into the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena Global, pursuant to which Arena Global has committed to purchase
up to $50,000,000 of our Common Stock at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the ELOC Purchase
Agreement.
Such
sales of our Common Stock, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time at our sole discretion over
the approximately 36-month period commencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement, provided that this registration statement, of which
this prospectus forms a part, and any other registration statement the Company may file from time to time, covering the resale by Arena
Global of the shares of our Common Stock purchased from us by Arena Global is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective, and
the other conditions set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement are satisfied.
Arena
Global has no right to require any sales by us, but Arena Global is obligated to make purchases at our direction subject to certain conditions.
There is no upper limit on the price per share that Arena Global could be obligated to pay for our Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement.
Actual
sales of shares of our Common Stock to Arena Global from time to time will depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market
conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for us and our operations.
The net proceeds that we may receive under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, cannot be determined at this time, since it will depend
on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our Common Stock to Arena Global, our ability to meet the conditions of the ELOC
Purchase Agreement and the other limitations, terms and conditions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement and any impacts of the Ownership Limitation
(as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement).
The
Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties.
Purchase
of Shares under the ELOC Purchase Agreement
Under
the ELOC Purchase Agreement, after the satisfaction of certain commencement conditions, we have the right to present the Investor with
an advance notice (each, an “Advance Notice”) directing the Investor to purchase any amount up to the Maximum Advance Amount
(as described below) The Maximum Advance Amount is calculated as follows (unless otherwise agreed amongst the parties): (a) if the Advance
Notice is received by 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, the lower of: (i) an amount equal to 70% of the average of the Daily Value Traded (as
defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) of our Common Stock on the ten Trading Days (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) immediately
preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $20,000,000, and (b) if the Advance Notice is received after 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, but prior to
10:30 a.m., Eastern Time, the lower of (i) an amount equal to 40% of the average of the Daily Value Traded of our Common Stock on the
ten Trading Days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $15,000,000, or (c) if the Advance Notice is received after 10:30 a.m.
Eastern Time but prior to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the lower of: (i) an amount equal to 20% of the Daily Value Traded of our Common Stock
on the ten Trading Days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, or (ii) $10,000,000.
During
the Commitment Period, the purchase price to be paid by Arena Global for the Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be 96%
of the market price, defined as the daily VWAP of our Common Stock on the trading day commencing on the date of the Advance Notice. Separately,
the Company may be obligated to pay to JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC a fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross subscription
price paid to the Company by Arena Global.
Consideration
In
connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement we agreed, among other things, to issue to Arena Global as a commitment fee, that number
of shares of our Common Stock equal to 250,000 (the “Initial Commitment Fee Shares”) divided by the simple average of the
daily VWAP of our Common Stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the effectiveness date of this registration statement,
on which the estimated Initial Commitment Fee Shares are registered. As additional consideration for Arena Global’s execution
and delivery of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, we issued on October 31, 2024, a five-year warrant exercisable for 585,000 shares of our
Common Stock with an exercise price equal to $1.66 per share.
The
ELOC Purchase Agreement also has a provision that provides that the number of Initial Commitment Fee Shares shall be subject to a true-up
whereby we shall issue to the Arena Global or its designee(s) that number of additional Common Stock (“True-Up Shares” if
any, equal (i) to the number of True-Up Shares issuable in accordance with the pricing formula below minus (ii) the number of Initial
Commitment Fee Shares issuable pursuant to the pricing formula above, if and to the extent such number is a positive number. The number
of True-Up Shares issuable shall be equal to 250,000 divided by the lower of (a) the simple average of the three (3) lowest daily intraday
trade prices over the 25 Trading Days after (and not including) the date of effectiveness of this registration statement and (b) the
closing price on the 25th Trading Day after the effectiveness of this registration statement (the “True-Up End Date”). The
Company shall issue to the Company any True-Up Shares promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Trading Day) after the True-Up End
Date to the extent such True-Up Shares are issuable pursuant to the terms of this the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The
Commitment Shares and the ELOC Warrant Shares are covered by this prospectus.
Description
of the ELOC Warrant
As
described above, the ELOC Warrant is exercisable for up to 585,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.66 per share,
exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date and has a term of five years from the issuance date. The exercise price of the
ELOC Warrant is subject to adjustment in the event of an issuance of Common Stock at a price per share lower than the exercise price
then in effect, as well as upon customary stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, combinations or similar events. The
ELOC Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, if at any time after 180 days following the issuance date, there is not an effective
registration statement in place registering the ELOC Warrant Shares for resale.
Conditions
to Delivery of Advance Notices
Our
ability to deliver Advance Notices to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including, among other things, the following:
| ● | the
accuracy in all material respects of our representations and warranties included in the ELOC
Purchase Agreement; |
| ● | the

more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include the Commitment Shares
and shares of our Common Stock that may be issued and sold by us to Arena Global under the
ELOC Purchase Agreement); |
| ● | the
Company having obtained all required permits and qualifications for the offer and sale of
all shares of our Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Advance Notice; |

with by us; |
| ● | the

authority of competent jurisdiction which prohibits or directly, materially and adversely
affects any of the transactions contemplated by the ELOC Purchase Agreement; |
| ● | trading
in our Common Stock shall not have been suspended by Nasdaq, we shall not have received any
final and non-appealable notice that the listing or quotation of our Common Stock on Nasdaq
shall be terminated; |
| ● | there
shall be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of
Common Stock for the issuance of all the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Advance Notice; |
| ● | the
representations contained in the applicable Advance Notice shall be true and correct in all
material respects; |
| ● | the
Pricing Period for all prior Advance Notices shall have been completed; and |
| ● | the
issuance and registration of all of the Commitment Shares and ELOC Warrant Shares and obtained
Shareholder Approval (as defined in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) to issue Common Stock in
excess of the Exchange Cap (a cap limiting the issuance of shares pursuant to the ELOC Agreement
and ELOC Warrant to 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on the date
of the ELOC Agreement (3,526,802 shares of Common Stock) to the extent such prior stockholder
approval would be required for compliance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq). |
We
have filed a proxy statement for our annual meeting of stockholders at which we are requesting approval to issue shares pursuant to the
ELOC Purchase Agreement in excess of the Exchange Cap, including the Commitment Share and shares issuable upon exercise of the ELOC Warrant,
at our annual meeting scheduled for December 11, 2024. However, we cannot predict at this time when or whether approval will be obtained.
Limitations
on Sales
The
ELOC Purchase Agreement prohibits us from directing the Arena Global to purchase any shares of our Common Stock if those shares, when
aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then beneficially owned by Arena Global and its affiliates as a result of purchases
under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, would result in Arena Global and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of
our then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “ELOC Beneficial Ownership Cap”).
No Short-Selling
or Hedging by Arena Global
Arena
Global has agreed that, during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, neither Arena Global nor any of its affiliates will engage in
any short sales or hedging transactions with respect to our Common Stock.
Termination
of the Purchase Agreement
Unless
earlier terminated as provided in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earliest to
occur of:
| ● | the
first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the date of the ELOC Purchase
Agreement; or |
| ● | the
date on which Arena Global shall have purchased shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase
Agreement for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to the Commitment Amount. |
We
have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice
to Arena Global, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices, the shares of Common Stock under which have not yet been issued
and we have paid all amounts owed to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. We and Arena Global may also terminate the ELOC
Purchase Agreement at any time by mutual written consent.
Prohibition
of “Dilutive Issuances” During Pending Purchases and Certain Variable Rate Transactions
Pursuant
to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, from the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date that Arena Global has
purchased $25 million worth of shares of our Common Stock, (ii) 12 months after effectiveness of this registration statement or (iii)
three months after the termination of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, pursuant to its terms, the Company is prohibited from effecting or
entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of our Common Stock or common share equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement), other than in connection with an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or with
the prior written consent of Arena Global.
Dilutive
Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on our Stockholders
All
Common Stock registered in this offering which have been or may be issued or sold by us to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement
are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that the Common Stock registered in this offering will be sold over a period starting
on the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective and ending on the first day of the
month immediately following the thirty-six month anniversary of the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The sale by Arena Global of
a significant amount of Common Stocks registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our Common Stock
to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our Common Stock to Arena Global, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other
factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Arena Global all, some or none of the additional shares of Common
Stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
If
and when we do sell shares to Arena Global, after Arena Global has acquired the Common Stock, Arena Global may resell all, some or none
of the Common Stock at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Arena Global by us under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of Common Stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial
number of Common Stock to Arena Global under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales
of Common Stock or the mere existence of our arrangement with Arena Global may make it more difficult for us to sell securities in the
future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and
amount of any additional sales of Common Stock to Arena Global and the ELOC Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at
our discretion without any cost to us.
The
following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from Arena Global from our sale of Common Stock to Arena Global
(excluding the Commitment Shares and the ELOC Warrant Shares) under the ELOC Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices without giving
effect to the ELOC Beneficial Ownership Cap, for illustrative purposes only. The ELOC Beneficial Ownership Cap may not be increased above
9.99% of our then outstanding common stock. Furthermore, as noted above, we are not obligated to submit any Advance Notices
under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.

ELOC Purchase Agreement and the ELOC Warrant, which are filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part.
Issuance
of Secured Convertible DEBENTURES and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
On
September 6, 2024, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with Arena Opportunities, providing for the issuance of (i) 10%
original issue discount secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) with an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000
at an aggregate purchase price of up to $9,000,000, divided into three separate tranches that are each subject to certain closing conditions,
which Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock, and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to 25% of the total principal amount of the related Debenture purchased on the applicable closing date of each tranche divided
by 115% of the closing price of our Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding that closing date.
Description
of the First Tranche Debenture
On
October 17, 2024, we consummated the closing of the first tranche, in which we issued and sold the First Tranche Debenture to Arena Opportunities
with an aggregate principal amount of $3,333,333 at an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 and the First Tranche Warrant (as described
below). The First Tranche Debenture shall accrue interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate of five percent per annum paid-in-kind
(the “PIK Interest”). The PIK Interest shall be added to the outstanding principal
amount of the First Tranche Debenture on a monthly basis as additional principal obligations thereunder for all purposes thereof (including
the accrual of interest thereon at the rates applicable to the principal amount generally). The maturity date of the First Tranche
Debenture is April 14, 2026. Separately, the Company may be obligated to pay to JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC a fee equal to
7% of the aggregate gross subscription price paid to the Company by Arena Opportunities.
The
First Tranche Debenture is convertible, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, into the First Tranche Debenture Shares
at a price per share equal to $1.84, provided that if the closing price of our Common Stock is less than the conversion price for five
or more trading days during any 20-trading day period following the issue date, the holder is entitled to convert the First Tranche Debenture
at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the then-current conversion price and (ii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average
price of our Common Stock during the five trading days prior to the delivery by the holder of the applicable notice of conversion (the
“Alternate Conversion Price”), provided that the Alternate Conversion Price is no less than (i) initially, $1.50, (ii) thereafter,
50% of the closing price of our Common Stock on April 14, 2025, and (iii) thereafter, 50% of the closing price of our Common Stock on
October 14, 2025, provided further that no conversion price of the First Tranche Debenture is at a price per share less than $0.33. The
conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of an issuance of Common Stock at a price per share lower than the conversion
price then in effect, as well as upon customary stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, combinations or similar events.
The
First Tranche Debenture is redeemable by us at a redemption price equal to 110% of the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed plus
accrued but interest, if any. While the First Tranche Debenture is outstanding, if we or any of our subsidiaries receive cash proceeds
from the issuance of equity or indebtedness (other than the issuance of additional secured convertible debentures as contemplated by
the Securities Purchase Agreement), in one or more financing transactions, whether publicly offered or privately arranged (including,
without limitation, pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement (as defined below), we shall, within one business day of our receipt of such
proceeds, inform the holder of such receipt, following which the holder shall have the right in its sole discretion to require us to
immediately apply up to 25% of all proceeds received by us to repay the outstanding amounts owed under the First Tranche Debenture.
The
First Tranche Debenture contains standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when
due under the First Tranche Debenture, failure to comply with certain covenants contained in the First Tranche Debenture, or bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default
under the applicable First Closing Debenture, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of such First Closing Debenture
at the rate of two percent per month, and such default interest shall be due and payable monthly in arrears in cash on the first of each
month following the occurrence of any event of default for default interest accrued through the last day of the prior month. In
connection with an event of default, Arena Opportunities may require us to redeem the First Tranche Debenture in cash at a price equal
to the sum of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the First Tranche Debenture and 100% of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we and Arena Special Opportunities (Offshore) Master II LP entered into a registration rights agreement
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file this registration statement with the SEC to register
the First Tranche Debenture Shares (using the $0.33 conversion floor price to calculate the number of registrable shares) and the First
Tranche Warrant Shares within 20 calendar days after the closing date of the first tranche (the “Filing Deadline”) and to
have such registration statement declared effective within 60 days after the Filing Deadline (or in the event of full review by the SEC,
within 90 calendar days after the Filing Deadline). This registration statement is being filed
in order to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. In the event the number of shares available under this registration
statement is insufficient to cover the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the First Tranche Debenture or First Tranche
Warrant, we are obligated to file one or more new registration statements until such time as all securities issuable upon conversion
or exercise of the First Tranche Debenture or First Tranche Warrant have been included in registration statements that have been declared
effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by Arena Opportunities.
We
may not issue the First Tranche Debenture Shares and/or First Tranche Warrant Shares to the extent such issuances would result in an
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following
such conversion or exercise, provided however, Arena Opportunities may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving
61 days’ notice to us, but not to any percentage in excess of 9.99%. Without giving effect
to the beneficial ownership limitation discussed above, assuming we converted all of the First Tranche Debenture into Common Stock at
the floor price, approximately 10,101,009 shares of our Common Stock would be issuable upon conversion. The Securities Purchase Agreement
also contains provisions that limit the Company’s ability to issue more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (3,526,802 shares of Common Stock) to the extent that the rules and regulations
of Nasdaq require prior stockholder approval for such issuance.
We
have filed a proxy statement for our annual meeting of stockholders at which we are requesting approval to issue shares pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, including any issuances of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debentures or upon exercise of Warrants
issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in excess of this 19.99% cap, at
our annual meeting scheduled for December 11, 2024. However, we cannot predict at this time when
or whether approval will be obtained.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from entering into a variable rate transaction other than the ELOC Purchase Agreement
described below until such time as no Debentures remain outstanding. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that from
the (i) First Registration Statement Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) Second Registration Statement
Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) until 60 days after the Second Registration Statement Effectiveness
Date, (iii) Third Registration Statement Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) until 60 days after the
Third Registration Statement Effectiveness Date, and any Subsequent Registration Statement Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) until 60 days after the Subsequent Registration Statement Effectiveness Date, neither the Company nor any subsidiary
may issue any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, except for certain exempted issuances, such as stock options, employee grants,
or shares issuable pursuant to outstanding securities, acquisitions and strategic transactions and the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) and Arena Opportunities entered
into a security agreement effective as of October 14, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which we (i) pledged the
equity interests in the Subsidiaries and (ii) granted to Arena Opportunities a security interest in, among other items, all of our owned
assets, whether currently owned or later acquired, and all proceeds therefrom (the “Assets”), as set forth in the Security
Agreement. In addition, our Subsidiary, Incannex Healthcare Pty Ltd (IHPL) entered into a patent security agreement (the “Patent

Description
of the First Tranche Warrant
In
connection with the issuance of the First Tranche Debenture, we also issued to Arena Opportunities the First Tranche Warrant to purchase
up to 453,749 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.89 per share. The First Tranche Warrant is exercisable at any time on
or after the issuance date and has a term of five years from the issuance date. The exercise price of the First Tranche Warrant is subject
to adjustment in the event of an issuance of Common Stock at a price per share lower than the exercise price then in effect, as well
as upon customary stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, combinations or similar events. The First Tranche Warrant may
be exercised on a cashless basis, if at any time after 180 days following the closing date of the first tranche, there is not an effective
registration statement in place registering the First Tranche Warrant Shares for resale.
The
First Tranche Debenture and the First Tranche Warrant were offered and sold to the investors in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
The
foregoing summary of the financing transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of each of the
Debentures, the Debenture Warrants, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Patent Security Agreement, the Trademark
Security Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Subsidiary Guarantee, which are filed or incorporated by reference as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We
are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement
and the ELOC Purchase Agreement, both of which we entered into with the selling stockholders, in which we agreed to provide certain registration
rights with respect to resales by them of the shares of our Common Stock that have been or may be issued to them under the Securities
Purchase Agreement and the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
The
column “Number of Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering” lists the number of shares of our Common Stock
beneficially owned by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and
sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of Common Stock described under the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common
Stock To be Sold in this Offering” in the table below. The table below has been prepared based upon information furnished to us
by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all
of its shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject
to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time
and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly and as required.
The
following table and footnote disclosure following the table sets forth the name of the selling stockholders and the number of shares
of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders before this offering. The number of shares reflected are those beneficially
owned, as determined under applicable rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for
any other purpose. Under applicable SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of Common Stock as to which a person has sole
or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of Common Stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days after
November 22, 2024 through the exercise of any option, warrant or right or through the conversion of any convertible security. Unless
otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table below and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe, based on
information furnished to us that the each selling stockholder named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to
the shares indicated as beneficially owned.
We
have assumed that all shares of Common Stock reflected in the table as being offered in the offering covered by this prospectus will
be sold from time to time in this offering. We cannot provide an estimate as to the number of shares of Common Stock that will be held
by the selling stockholders upon termination of the offering covered by this prospectus because the selling stockholders may offer some,
all or none of the shares of Common Stock being offered in the offering. Information about the selling stockholders may change over time.
Except with respect to the ELOC and Securities Purchase Agreement, we do not have and have not had relationships with the selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The
following description summarizes some of the terms of capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information
that may be important to you and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which are
filed as exhibits to this registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, and are incorporated by reference
herein. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws for additional information.
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $0.0001 par value per share.
Common
Stock
As
of November 22, 2024, there were 17,642,832 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding and held of record by 4899 stockholders.
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled
to vote, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. At any meeting of stockholders at which directors
are to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. All corporate actions to be taken by stockholder vote
shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of our stockholders having a majority in voting power of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy and voting on such matter. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that our directors may be removed
only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital
stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power
of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon is required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision
contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and add or insert other provisions authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, (the “DGCL”), and to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding
series of preferred stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or preferred stock may also be increased or decreased, but
not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the capital
stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
Subject
to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably
those dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the assets legally available for distribution
to stockholders after the payment of or provision for all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the rights of any preferred
stock then outstanding. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights and there are no
redemption or sinking funds provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the Common Stock
to be outstanding upon the closing of this offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 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 that we may designate and issue in the future.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The transfer agent and registrar’s address
is 150 Royall St., Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
Stock
Exchange Listing
Our
Common Stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “IXHL.”
Preferred
Stock
As
of November 22, 2024, there were no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Under the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, our
board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designations,
powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each wholly unissued series and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not
below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.
Our
board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting
power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with
possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of
Common Stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Prior
to the issuance of shares of each series, the board of directors is required by the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation to adopt
resolutions and file a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The certificate of designation
fixes for each class or series the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including
dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences.
All
shares of preferred stock offered by this prospectus will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable and will not have any preemptive
or similar rights. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely
affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility
in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the voting and other rights of
the holders of Common Stock.
We
will describe in a prospectus supplement relating to the class or series of preferred stock being offered the following terms:
| ● | the
title and stated value of the preferred stock; |
| ● | the
number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and
the offering price of the preferred stock; |
| ● | the
dividend rate(s), period(s) or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation applicable to
the preferred stock; |
| ● | whether
dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends
on the preferred stock will accumulate; |
| ● | the
procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for the preferred stock; |
| ● | the
provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock; |
| ● | the
provision for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock; |
| ● | any
listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange; |
| ● | the
terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into
Common Stock, including the conversion price or manner of calculation and conversion period; |
| ● | voting
rights, if any, of the preferred stock ; |
| ● | a
discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to
the preferred stock; |
| ● | the
relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights
upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
| ● | any
limitations on issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on
a parity with the class or series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; and |
| ● | any
other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock. |
Unless
we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the preferred stock will rank, relating to dividends and upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up:
| ● | senior
to all classes or series of our Common Stock and to all of our equity securities ranking
junior to the preferred stock; |
| ● | on
a parity with all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the
equity securities rank on a parity with the preferred stock; and |
| ● | junior
to all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the equity securities
rank senior to the preferred stock. |
The
term equity securities does not include convertible debt securities.
Convertible
Debenture
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 10% original issue discount secured convertible debentures with an aggregate
principal amount of up to $10,000,000 at an aggregate purchase price of up to $9,000,000, or the Debentures, divided into three separate
tranches. On October 14, 2024, we consummated the closing of the first tranche, in which we issued and sold a Debenture to certain purchasers
with an aggregate principal amount of $3,333,333, or the “First Tranche Debenture.” The First Tranche Debenture is convertible,
subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of common stock at a price per share equal to $1.84, provided that if
the closing price of our common stock is less than the conversion price for five or more trading days during any 20 trading day period
following the issue date, the holder is entitled to convert the First Tranche Debenture at a price per share equal to the lower of (i)
the then-current conversion price and (ii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five
trading days prior to the delivery by the holder of the applicable notice of conversion, or the Alternate Conversion Price, provided
that the Alternate Conversion Price is no less than (i) initially, $1.50, (ii) thereafter, 50% of the closing price of our Common stock
on April 14, 2025, and (iii) thereafter, 50% of the closing price of our Common stock on October 14, 2025, provided further that no conversion
price of the First Tranche Debenture is at a price per share less than $0.33.
As
of November 22, 2024, approximately 1,811,594 shares of our common stock were issuable upon conversion of the First Tranche Debenture,
assuming a conversion price of $1.84 per share.
The
Debentures also contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the conversion
of the Debentures in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent equity sales, reorganizations and reclassifications and consolidations.
Warrants
As
of November 22, 2024, 1,978,338 shares of our common stock were issuable upon
exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $20.04 per
share.
Each
of the outstanding warrants has a net exercise provision under which the holder may, if at any time after 180 days following the closing
of the first tranche of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the issuance date of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September
6, 2024, or the ELOC Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, Ltd, or Arena Business,
there is no effective registration statement in place registering the shares of common stock issued, the shares issuable upon conversion
of the Debentures or the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Securities Purchase Agreement or ELOC Purchase Agreement,
in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of shares of our common stock based
on the volume weighted average price of our common stock at the time of the net exercise of the warrant after deduction of the aggregate
exercise price. These warrants also contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the aggregate number of shares issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent equity sales, reorganizations and reclassifications
and consolidations.
Registration
Rights
In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we are party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file
a registration statement, within twenty days after the first closing date, with the SEC to register the shares of our common stock issuable
upon (i) the conversion of 10% original issue discount secured convertible debentures and (ii) the exercise of warrants issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement. We also are party to the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena Business, pursuant to which, among
other things, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days of the Purchase Agreement, to register shares of
our common stock issuable (i) under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, including the commitment shares thereunder and (ii) upon the exercise
of warrants issued pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement. We are filing this registration statement in connection with our obligations
pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement entered in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with the registration rights, we are required to pay all expenses incurred by us related to any registration effected pursuant
to the exercise of these registration rights. These expenses may include all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of our counsel, reasonable fees and disbursements of a counsel for the selling securityholders, blue sky fees and expenses
and the expenses of any special audits incident to the registration.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Some
provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the
removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could
deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions
which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.
These
provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are
also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the
benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal
to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could
result in an improvement of their terms.
Undesignated
Preferred Stock
The
ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock
with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change
control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management
of our company.
Stockholder
Meetings
Our
Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our
Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals to be brought before a stockholder meeting and the nomination
of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee
of the board of directors.
Elimination
of Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.
Staggered
Board
Our
board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class will serve for a three-year term, one class being elected
each year by our stockholders. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender
offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority
of the directors.
Removal
of Directors
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that no member of our board of directors may be removed from office by our stockholders except
for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of our
outstanding voting stock then entitled to vote in the election of directors.
Stockholders
Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting
Our
Certificate of Incorporation does not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors
standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to elect.
Delaware
Anti-Takeover Statute
We
are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders”
from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these
persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder”
is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder
status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger,
asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision
may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.
Choice
of Forum
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative form, (i) the sole and exclusive
forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims (as defined below) will be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
and (b) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act shall be the federal
district courts of the United States of America. The term “internal corporate claims” means claims, including claims in the
right of the Corporation that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder
in such capacity, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery. This exclusive forum provision would
not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. To the extent that any such claims may be based
upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any
duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum
provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that
a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide
that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice
of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision.
Amendment
of Charter Provisions
The
amendment of any of the above provisions, except for the provision making it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock,
would require approval by holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote
thereon.
The
provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting
hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often
result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition
of our board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders
may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq Global Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities
are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or
more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately
negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement
of short sales; |
| ● | in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| ● | through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| ● | any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
We
are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify
the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Pursuant
to applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M,
prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders
and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware
Law
Section
102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders
for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to
act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a
stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or
a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in
related capacities against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification
shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Amended
and Restated Bylaws
Our
Bylaws provide that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or is or was serving at our
request, as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged
to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
and any appeal therefrom, to the fullest extent allowed under the DGCL. Our Bylaws also provide that we shall advance to any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to 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 executive officer of the Company, or is or was serving at our request as
a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition
of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with
such proceeding. However, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her
capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including
service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to
repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under our Bylaws or otherwise.
Indemnification
Agreements and Insurance Matters
In
addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements
require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason
of their service to us and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and executive officers.
We
also maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against losses arising from
claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such directors
and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law.
The
above discussion of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, our indemnification agreements with our current directors and executive
officers and Sections 102 and 145 of the DGCL is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, such indemnification agreements and such statutes.
To
the extent that our directors, officers and controlling persons are indemnified under the provisions contained in our Certificate of
Incorporation, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that
in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
November 28, 2023, the Company acquired all the outstanding ordinary shares of Incannex Australia, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement
under Australian law. Until the redomiciliation, Incannex Australia’s ordinary shares were listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange (“ASX”) and American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 25 ordinary shares of Incannex
Australia, traded on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Following
completion of the redomiciliation, Incannex Australia’s ordinary shares were delisted from the ASX and Incannex assumed Incannex
Australia’s listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Pursuant
to the redomiciliation, holders of Incannex Australia’s ordinary shares received one share of Common Stock in Incannex
for every 100 ordinary shares held in Incannex Australia and holders of ADSs in Incannex Australia received one share
of Common Stock of Incannex for every 4 ADSs held in Incannex Australia.
The
shares of common stock and options issued by the Company upon implementation of the redomiciliation were exempt from registration under
the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
On
September 6, 2024, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with Arena Opportunities, providing for the issuance of (i) the
Debentures of an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 at an aggregate purchase price of up to $9,000,000, divided into three
separate tranches that are each subject to certain closing conditions, which Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock,
and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the total principal amount of the related
Debenture purchased on the applicable closing date of each tranche divided by 115% of the closing price of our Common Stock on the trading
day immediately preceding that closing date. On October 17, 2024, we consummated the closing of the first tranche, in which we issued
and sold the First Tranche Debenture to Arena Opportunities with an aggregate principal amount of $3,333,333 at an aggregate purchase
price of $3,000,000 and the First Tranche Warrant to purchase up to 453,749 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.89 per
share. The First Tranche Debenture is convertible, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of common stock at
a price per share equal to $1.84, provided that if the closing price of our common stock is less than the conversion price for five or
more trading days during any 20 trading day period following the issue date, the holder is entitled to convert the First Tranche Debenture
at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the then-current conversion price and (ii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average
price of our common stock during the five trading days prior to the delivery by the holder of the applicable notice of conversion, or
the Alternate Conversion Price, provided that the Alternate Conversion Price is no less than (i) initially, $1.50, (ii) thereafter, 50%
of the closing price of our Common stock on April 14, 2025, and (iii) thereafter, 50% of the closing price of our Common stock on October
14, 2025, provided further that no conversion price of the First Tranche Debenture is at a price per share less than $0.33
The
First Tranche Debenture and the First Tranche Warrant were offered and sold to the investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On
September 6, 2024, we entered into the ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena Global, pursuant to which Arena Global has committed to purchase
up to $50,000,000 of our Common Stock at our direction from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the ELOC Purchase
Agreement. In connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement we agreed, among other things, to issue to Arena Global as a commitment fee,
the Initial Commitment Fee Shares equal to 250,000”) divided by the simple average of the daily VWAP of our Common Stock during
the five trading days immediately preceding the effectiveness date of this registration statement, on which the estimated Initial
Commitment Fee Shares are registered. As additional consideration for Arena Global’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Purchase
Agreement, we issued on October 31, 2024, a five-year warrant exercisable for 585,000 shares of our Common Stock with an exercise price
equal to $1.66 per share.
The
ELOC Warrant was offered and sold to the investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee
Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier
of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the
offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date
an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(5)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of a Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-1 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in Melbourne, Australia, on November 26, 2024.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to
Incannex Healthcare Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company
of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration
for resale by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”) of:
1. up
to 50,000,000 shares of common stock (the “ELOC Shares”), $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) issuable
to Arena Business Solutions Global SPC II, Ltd (“Arena Global”) pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 6,
2024 (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Arena Global;
2. up
to 250,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) issuable to Arena Global as a commitment fee pursuant to the ELOC
Purchase Agreement;
3. 585,000
shares of Common Stock (the “ELOC Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to Arena Global as a commitment
fee pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement;
4. up
to 10,101,009 shares of Common Stock (the “First Tranche Debenture Shares”) issuable upon conversion of the 10% original issue
discount secured convertible debenture (the “First Tranche Debenture”) that was issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders
pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 6, 2024 (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) by and
between the Company and the Selling Stockholders named therein; and
5. 453,749
shares of Common Stock (the “First Tranche Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of a warrant (the “First Tranche
Warrant”) issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement.
The ELOC Warrant and the First
Tranche Warrant are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants,” and the ELOC Warrant Shares and the First Tranche Warrant
Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”
In connection with this opinion,
we have examined the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as restated
and/or amended to date and currently in effect; such other records of the corporate proceedings of the Company and certificates of the
Company’s officers as we have deemed relevant; and the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto.
In our examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity
of the originals of such copies, and the truth and correctness of any representations and warranties contained therein.

Our opinion is expressed only
with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable
to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law,
rule or regulation.
With respect to the Warrant
Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company, adjustments to outstanding securities
of the Company and/or other matters cause the Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock than the number that remain available
for issuance. Further, we have assumed the exercise price of the Warrants will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share
of the Common Stock. With respect to the First Tranche Debenture Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of
securities of the Company, adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company and/or other matters cause the First Tranche Debenture
to be convertible for more shares of Common Stock than the number that remain available for issuance. Further, we have assumed the conversion
price of the First Tranche Debenture will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share of the Common Stock
Based upon and subject to
the foregoing, it is our opinion that (i) the ELOC Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the ELOC Purchase Agreement will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) the Commitment Shares, when issued will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
(iii) the First Tranche Debenture Shares, when issued against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the First Tranche Debenture,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (iv) the Warrant Shares, when issued against payment therefor in accordance
with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Please note that we are opining
only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is based upon
currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in
any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.
We understand that you wish
to file this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)
of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act and to reference the firm’s name under the caption “Legal Matters”
in the prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent thereto. In giving this consent, we do not admit
that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours, |
