Our Company
Q BioMed Inc. (or “the
Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 22, 2013 and is a biomedical acceleration and development company focused
on licensing, acquiring and providing strategic resources to life sciences and healthcare companies. We intend to mitigate risk
by acquiring multiple assets over time and across a broad spectrum of healthcare related products, companies and sectors. We
intend to develop these assets to provide returns via organic growth, revenue production, out-licensing, sale or spin out.
Our Platform
Metastron™ and Strontium-89
Chloride USP Injection
We have branded and generic Strontium-89
products for bone cancer pain therapy.
Strontium-89 is an FDA approved drug for
pain palliation in bone metastases, primarily from breast, prostate and lung cancers. It is Medicare and Healthcare insurance reimbursable.
Strontium-89 is a pure beta emitting radiopharmaceutical. It is a chemical analog of calcium and for this reason, localizes in
bone. Strontium-89 is preferentially absorbed at the site of active osteoblastic activity, delivering a targeted dose of radiation
therapy into the tumor environment. This is the biochemical basis for its use in treating metastatic bone disease.
Strontium-89 shows prolonged retention
in metastatic bone lesions with a biological half-life of over 50 days, remaining up to 100 days after injection of the radiopharmaceutical,
whereas the half-life in normal bone tissue is approximately 14 days. Strontium-89 has been shown to decrease pain in patients
with osteoblastic metastases resulting from prostate cancer. When Strontium-89 Chloride is used, pain palliation occurs in up to
80% of patients within 2 to 3 weeks after administration and lasts from 3 to 12 months with an average of about 6 months.
There are an estimated 10 million patients
around the world afflicted with metastatic cancer in the bone causing pain. In the United States alone, of the estimated 450,000
individuals newly diagnosed with either breast or prostate cancer, one in three will develop bone metastases, a common cause of
pain in cancer patients. These figures are expected to increase as the potential patient population ages and as better primary
treatments contribute to patients living longer with metastatic disease. There are over 500,000 External Bean Radiation Therapy
(EBRT) treatments annually for painful metastatic cancer bone disease. We believe this group of patients would benefit from our
therapy as an additional treatment that would address the micro-tumors that EBRT does not.
Strontium-89 is a non-opioid drug for the
treatment of debilitating metastatic cancer pain in the bone. We believe there is a significant opportunity to market this effective
drug as practitioners and caregivers are being encouraged to reexamine their use of opiates for treating patients in pain. Additional
therapeutic indications for Strontium-89 are possible, and we intend to pursue those in 2020, hopefully resulting in entry into
a multi-billion dollar therapeutic area in a few years.
Our Strontium-89 radiopharmaceutical drug
addresses an underserved patient group in the cancer pain palliation market, but also has a significant opportunity to expand into
a much larger market through a planned phase IV study designed to expand the label from a pain palliation to a cancer therapeutic.
Our Generic Strontium-89 Product
On May 30, 2016, we entered into a Patent
and Technology License and Purchase Option Agreement with BNI, which agreement was amended on September 6, 2016, whereby we were
granted a worldwide, exclusive license on certain BNI intellectual property and the option to acquire the BNI IP within three years
of the BNI.
The BNI IP consists of generic Strontium
Chloride SR89 (Generic Metastron®) and all of BNI’s intellectual property relating to it. Currently, SR89 is a radiopharmaceutical
therapeutic for cancer bone pain therapy. We plan on exploring options to broaden the technology platform in scope to uses beyond
metastatic cancer bone pain. In exchange for the consideration, we agreed, upon reaching various milestones, to issue to BNI an
aggregate of 110,000 shares of common stock that are subject to restriction from trading until commercialization of the product
and subsequent leak-out conditions Once we funded up to $850,000 in cash, we were allowed to exercise the option to acquire the
BNI IP at no additional charge.
Prior to November 30, 2018, we believed
that we had paid BNI all amounts required to exercise the option to acquire the asset. We exercised our option to acquire
the BNI IP, but BNI did not transfer the BNI IP to us. As a result, on December 28, 2018, we commenced litigation against BioNucleonics,
Inc. (“BNI”) and parties related to BNI in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County.
On September 23, 2019, we entered into
a settlement agreement with BNI and parties related to BNI. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we settled our dispute
with BNI and all parties to the litigation dismissed their claims in exchange for entering into a Second Amendment to the License
Agreement (entered into on September 23, 2019) pursuant to which:
|
●
|
BNI agreed to immediately transfer and/or assign to us all intellectual property, patents and products that is owned by BNI that is related to Strontium-Chloride 89;
|
|
●
|
We agreed to issue BNI 50,000 shares of our common stock upon the entry into the settlement agreement and 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of BNI’s Prior Approval Supplement (PAS) filing;
|
|
●
|
We agreed to make a cash payment to BNI of $25,000;
|
|
●
|
We agreed to an on-going royalty payment of 3% on all gross profits derived by us from the sale of Strontium-Chloride 89 and MetastronTM; and
|
|
●
|
We agreed to assume fees and expenses related to (i) all outstanding CMO fees owed by BNI to IsoTherapeutics relating to Strontium-Chloride 89 (approximately $67,000), (ii) all outstanding fees owed by BNI to the FDA relating to Strontium-Chloride 89 (approximately $208,000) and (iii) related fees for the development and approval of Strontium-Chloride 89 following the date of the Settlement Agreement.

Metastron, Our Branded Strontium-89
Product
We acquired our branded Strontium-89 product,
Metastron®, from GE Healthcare Limited (“GE”) on November 23, 2018 pursuant to an Asset Sale Agreement (“ASA”).
Metastron® is an FDA approved radiopharmaceutical drug that GE had sold for over 20 years. Under the ASA, we also acquired
all related intellectual property including, but not limited to sales and distribution data, market authorizations and trademarks
for Metastron® in various countries. We acquired these assets in exchange for an upfront payment of $500,000, a one-time milestone
payment based on future sales, and royalty payments based on future sales. We did not acquire any workforce, manufacturing, inventory,
sales agreements, or distribution agreements associated with Metastron®. Our first commercial sale of Metastron™ will
occur only after the appropriate regulatory filings required by the jurisdictions in which it is to be sold.
Recent Developments
On November 14, 2019, the Department of
Health and Human Services notified us that our supplemental abbreviated new drug application for a new drug product manufacturing
site, IsoTherapeutics Group, LLC, has been approved. IsoTherapeutics is now cleared to manufacture our FDA approved non-opioid
cancer bone pain drug Strontium-89 Chloride USP.
In anticipation of production, we have
on-boarded our commercial team tasked with infrastructure set-up, including medical information and pharmacovigilance, government
contracting, marketing, contract sales and telesales. We have announced a distribution partnership with Julibilant Radiopharma
who have the capabilities to access the US market, including warehousing/inventory management, invoicing and customer service/ordering.
It also has a sales team that calls on major providers, a national network of U.S. nuclear pharmacies and distribution and coverage
throughout the United States. We have completed a reimbursement landscape and set our pricing strategy. Our scientific platform
is complete which is informing a creative advertising campaign to coincide with the commercial launch of our product. We are assembling
a scientific advisory board specific to this product to assist in market access and phase 4 clinical trial planning.
Mannin Intellectual Property
On October 29, 2015, we entered into a
Patent and Technology License and Purchase Option Agreement, as amended in April 2019, with Mannin whereby we were granted a worldwide,
exclusive license on, and option to acquire, certain Mannin intellectual property, or IP, within a four-year term.
The Mannin IP is initially focused on developing
a first-in-class eye drop treatment for glaucoma. The technology platform may be expanded in scope beyond ophthalmological uses
and may include cystic kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases and infectious disease. This platform technology has application
in many disease states that result in ‘leaky’ vessels and the inefficient flow of fluids, like the recent Coronavirus
outbreak. Pursuant to the exclusive license from Mannin, we may purchase the Mannin IP within six years of entry into the agreement
in exchange for investing a minimum of $4,000,000 into the development of the Mannin IP. Through November 30, 2019, we have funded
an aggregate of $6,231,500 to Mannin under the Exclusive License. The purchase price for the Mannin IP is $30,000,000 less the
amount of cash paid by us for development and the value of the common stock issued to the vendor. We can make this all or part
of this payment in stock, provided that such stock does not represent 15% or more of our issued and outstanding common stock.
In the event that: (i) we do not exercise
the option to purchase the Mannin IP; (ii) we fail to invest the $4,000,000 within six years from the date of the exclusive license;
or (iii) we fail to make a diligent, good faith and commercially reasonable effort to progress the Mannin IP, all Mannin IP shall
revert back to Mannin and we shall be granted the right to collect twice the monies invested through that date of reversion by
way of a royalty along with other consideration which may be perpetual.
On March 26, 2019, we extended the option
period of the initial agreement that was entered into on October 29,2015. The extension period was extended to October 29, 2021
and 100,000 shares was issued in exchange for the extension.
MAN 01 – New Vascular Therapeutics
including Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Mannin is developing a unique set of therapeutics
that target a variety of vascular diseases. Its lead program - MAN-01 for glaucoma, is based on a research platform that targets
the activation of the Angiopoietin-Tie2 signaling pathway. While Mannin is not generating a vaccine against infectious diseases,
it is developing a new drug that may increase the survival rate of patients by reducing the severity of disease through enhancement
of host-directed therapeutic response.
Our lead indication is for a first-in-class
therapeutic eye-drop for the treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.
We are developing a first-in-class drug
targeting the Schlemm's canal and its role in regulating interocular eye pressure, one of the leading causes of glaucoma. No other
glaucoma company is targeting the Schlemm's canal, the main drainage pathway in the eye. This unique vessel is responsible for
70-90% of the fluid drainage in the eye. The MAN 01 drug is currently in the lead optimization stage of its pre-clinical testing.
We have also partnered with expert formulation and drug delivery specialists to assist in the final formulation of the novel eye
drop treatment. Supported by a recent $7.5 million grant awarded to Mannin in Germany, we aim to initiate IND enabling studies
in 2020 and file an IND in late 2020 or early 2021, to be flowed by a short phase 1 clinical trial lasting approximately 3 months.
A deep pipeline of novel therapeutics is
being developed from this research platform, which would treat a spectrum of vascular diseases including Cystic Kidney Disease,
cardiovascular disease and infectious diseases, like coronavirus. We expect to advance these efforts in 2020.
Mannin recently submitted a grant application
to the U.S. National Institutes of Health for Small Business Technology Transfer Grant Applications for approximately US $200,000
for the MAN-11 biologic. The studies will be conducted at Northwestern University to investigate treatment of vascular leakage
to treat sepsis and other infectious diseases. Mannin is also working with Canada’s National Research Council (NRC.CNRC)
since December 2019 to support the development of the biologic. In September 2019, the German state of Saxony awarded Mannin an
approximately US $7.7 million grant to advance the Mannin portfolio of vascular diseases, including development of the biologic.
GDF15 - A Novel Biomarker for the detection
and measurement of Glaucoma
On March 9, 2019, the Company entered into
an Exclusive License Agreement with Washington University for license of a diagnostic marker for determining the severity of glaucoma
using the expression levels of Growth Differentiation Factor (“GDF”). In parallel, we and Mannin Research are working
with the Biointerfaces Institute at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada to develop a GDF15 biomarker diagnostic kit for monitoring
glaucoma severity and progression. Determining the severity of glaucoma using this biomarker will aid in treatment decisions for
patients diagnosed with, and being treated for, glaucoma.
Currently, no single examination or diagnostic
test is able to accurately predict disease progression. Accurate monitoring for disease progression is critical to preserve visual
function in glaucoma patients. Today, physicians only have surrogate measures to evaluate glaucomatous neurodegeneration. GDF15
represents an attractive biomarker for glaucoma with distinct advantages including early detection, over conventional clinical
tests and has the potential to be a first-in-class diagnostic test. GDF15 was discovered by Dr. Rajendra Apte, the Paul A. Cibis
Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine. Dr Apte is currently
conducting a clinical trial to further validate GDF15 as a surrogate clinical tool in the treatment of Glaucoma patients.
Q BioMed plans to offer the GDF15 biomarker
as a companion diagnostic to its MAN-01 small molecule therapeutic with a novel mechanism of action for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.
By offering both a diagnostic and a therapeutic, Q BioMed and its technology partner Mannin Research Inc. are addressing the needs
of both patients and physicians, as well as bringing innovation to the global glaucoma market.
ASD-002
On April 21, 2017, we entered into a License
Agreement on Patent & Know-How Technology with ASDERA whereby we were granted a worldwide, exclusive, license on certain ASDERA
intellectual property, which was previously referred to as ASD-002 in our pipeline, and was intended to treat Disruption of Active
Language Development (DALD) in toddlers developing Autism Spectrum Disorders. Under that agreement, we paid ASDERA $50,000 and
issued 125,000 shares of our common stock. On November 27, 2019, we notified ASDERA that we considered the Agreement to have been
rescinded retroactively as of April 21, 2017. As a result of such rescission, we believe that we have no continuing material obligations
to ASDERA. However, we will continue to develop unique technologies for the benefit of underserved patient populations.
QBM-001
Among the more than 60,000 US children
who develop autism spectrum disorders, or ASD, every year, approximately 20,000 become nonverbal and will have to rely on assisted
living for the rest of their lives. In parallel to ASD-002, we have been developing a product, QBM-001, intended to treat the rare
condition - pediatric minimally verbal autism. Many of the children who miss this potential treatment window between the age of
2 and 5 years old, may become non-verbal for the rest of their lives. Currently, there is no treatment for this rare disorder.
QBM-001 is not intended to treat other
ASDs or to be used beyond the specific group and the estimated treatment window. The “treatment window” results from
independent research that revealed a decreased density in the cortex region of the brain in minimally verbal children with autism,
who were 7 years of age. A biomarker study performed by us has directed us to conclude that QBM-001 cannot be used for other autistic
groups. The study analyzed over 2000 known autistic markers and found two distinct biomarkers for children with pediatric minimally
verbal autism. The biomarkers did not overlap with the high functioning group of autistic children, nor the intermediate group,
which struggles with, but develops limited language. The biomarkers gave us insight into what was wrong with the children and has
given us unique insight on how to ameliorate their condition with the goal of helping them develop the ability to speak.
The biomarker study also led us to evaluate
and identify a rat model that contains the biomarkers and is thus a good model to test QBM-001. In addition, we have access to
cell lines from deceased children who had pediatric minimally verbal autism. QBM-001 consists of a combination of products that
target different mechanisms of action. Having the cell lines and rat model available to us provides us with an excellent preclinical
path to validate the safety and efficacy of QBM-001.
We recently filed an orphan drug application
for our QBM potential drug candidate and plan on filing an IND QBM-001 in 2021.
QBM-001 - Addressing Rare Pediatric
Minimally Verbal Autism
Causes of non-verbal learning disorder
have been linked to several complications that range from a specific mutated gene as with Fragile X Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Phelan
McDermid Syndrome or autoimmunity, where the body’s immune system is attacking parts of the brain. Trauma, microbial infections
and environmental factors have also been linked to non-verbal learning disorder. Ongoing research is helping to further explain
the root cause of why children become non-verbal or minimally verbal.
Cognitive intervention is the only form
for treatment that has shown to help improve speech capability and social interaction in autistic children, however, with minimal
benefit with children with pediatric minimally verbal autism. As intervention does not lead to speech progression, being minimally
verbal carries a lifetime burden of over $5 million per person for cost of care. This is further compounded by additional expenses
during the lifespan of the person due to loss in productivity in addition to severe emotional strain for the child and the parents.
As there are no treatment options for these
patients, we believe there is a significant economic opportunity to bring a drug to market in this indication. The active ingredients
in our compound are well known and have been approved by worldwide regulators for many years. Using a novel delivery and formulation
for the ingredients, we intend to advance this drug through the 505(b)2 pathway.
RGCB and OMRF Intellectual Property
On June 15, 2017, we entered into a Technology
License Agreement with RGCB and OMRF whereby they granted us a worldwide, exclusive, license on intellectual property related to
Uttroside-B. Uttroside-B is a chemical compound derived from the plant Solanum nigrum Linn, also known as Black Nightshade
or Makoi. We seek to use the Uttroside-B IP to create a chemotherapeutic agent against liver cancer.
The initial cost to acquire the exclusive
license for Uttroside was $10,000. In addition to royalties based upon net sales of the product candidate, if any, we are required
to make additional payments upon the following milestones:
●
|
the completion of certain preclinical studies;
|
●
|
the filing of an investigational new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration or the filing of the equivalent application with an equivalent governmental agency;
|
●
|
successful completion of each of Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials;
|
●
|
FDA approval of the product candidate;
|
●
|
approval by the foreign equivalent of the FDA of the product candidate;
|
●
|
achieving certain worldwide net sales; and
|
●
|
a change of control of our Company.
|
Subject to the terms of the exclusive license
for Uttroside, we will be in control of the development and commercialization of the product candidate and are responsible for
the costs of such development and commercialization. We are obligated to undertake a good-faith commitment to (i) fund the
pre-clinical trials and (ii) to initiate a Phase II clinical trial within six years of the date of the Agreement. Failure
to show a good-faith effort to meet those goals would mean that the exclusive license for Uttroside would revert to the licensors.
UTTROSIDE-B - A Novel Chemotherapeutic
for Liver Cancer
The liver is the football-sized organ in
the upper right area of the belly. Symptoms of liver cancer are uncommon in the early stages. Liver cancer treatments vary, but
may include removal of part of the liver, liver transplant, chemotherapy, and in some cases radiation. Primary liver cancer (hepatocellular
carcinoma) tends to occur in livers damaged by birth defects, alcohol abuse, or chronic infection with diseases such as hepatitis
B and C, hemochromatosis (a hereditary disease associated with too much iron in the liver), and cirrhosis. In the United States,
the average age at onset of liver cancer is 63 years. Men are more likely to develop liver cancer than women, by a ratio of 2 to
1.
The only currently marketed drug is a tryosine
kinase inhibitor antineoplastic agent, sorafinib. Current sales of sorafinib are estimated at $1 billion per year.
Uttroside-B appears to affect phosphorylated
JNK (pro survival signaling) and capcase activity (apoptosis in liver cancer). It is a natural compound fractionated Saponin derived
from the Solarim Nigrum plant. It is a small molecule that showed in early investigation to increase the cytotoxicity of a variety
of liver cancer cell types and importantly to be up to ten times more potent than Sorafenib in pre-clinical studies.
As it is not feasible to use the plant
as the source for a drug, we successfully synthesized the molecule thereby creating an exact replica of the naturally occurring
chemical compound. In a joint research program with India-based Chemveda Life Sciences in 2017, we initiated this very complex
and challenging synthesis program. After 2 years, the exceptional chemists at Chemveda and our scientists, succeeded. The synthetic
molecule has now been tested in comparison to the original plant molecule and the results confirm the same efficacy against the
same liver cancer cell lines. This is a remarkable feat. We are now preparing to advance this into the pre-clinical program leading
to an IND by the end of 2020 and a proof of concept clinical program in 2021.

RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision. You should
also consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” in the 2017 Annual Report, the 2018 Annual Report and the
2019 Annual Report. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any
of these risks or uncertainties. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part
of your investment.
CAUTIONARY NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions
for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other
than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future
results of operations and financial position, business strategy, transformation, strategic priorities and future progress, are
forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may
cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements

“expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “project,”
“believe,” “estimate” or “predict” “or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely
on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject
to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements,

USE
OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of the shares underlying the Warrants, but we will receive all proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants.
Assuming full exercise of all of the 1,711,875 Warrants covered by this prospectus
at $3.20 per share, we will receive gross proceeds of $5,478,000. The actual exercise of any of the Warrants, however, is beyond
our control and depends on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure you that all,
or even any, of the Warrants will be exercised.
While we have no specific
plan for the proceeds, we expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise, if any, of the Warrants described in this prospectus
to further develop our product candidates, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
MARKET PRICE AND TRADING HISTORY
Our common stock is
listed on the Over the Counter QB (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “QBIO”. The market for our common stock is

The last reported sales
price for our shares on the OTCQB as of March 10, 2020, was $1.72 per share. As of March 10, 2020, we had approximately 54 shareholders
of record and 6,160 round lot shareholders.
As of March 10, 2020,
we had 21,368,091 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding. Our Transfer Agent is VStock Transfer,
LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, Phone: (212) 828-8436.
Dividends
We have never declared
or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance
the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination
to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon then existing conditions, including our
financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors
that the board of directors considers relevant.
DILUTION
On November 30, 2019,
we had a negative net tangible book value of approximately $5,495,000, or approximately $0.279 per share. Net tangible book value
per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding
shares of common stock. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid
by the purchaser of shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants and the net tangible book value per share of common
stock immediately after the exercise of the Warrants.
If all of the 1,711,875
Warrants covered by this Prospectus had been exercised on or before November 30, 2019 at an exercise price of $3.20, our pro forma
negative net tangible book value as of November 30, 2019 would have been approximately $17,000, or $0.001 per share. This represents
an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.278 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net
tangible book value of $3.201 per share to shares underlying the Warrants.
The shares outstanding
as of November 30, 2019 used to calculate the information in this section exclude:
|
●
|
1,200,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding on November 30, 2019;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
We are authorized by
our articles of incorporation to issue an aggregate of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which
21,368,091 were outstanding as of March 10, 2020, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock of which none were outstanding as of
March 10, 2020.
This prospectus contains
only a summary of the securities that we are offering. The following summary of the terms of our common stock, preferred stock,
and Warrants may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of
our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and the Warrants. You should refer to, and
read this summary together with, our amended and restated articles of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the Warrants
to review all of the terms of our common stock, preferred stock and Warrants that may be important to you.
Common Stock
Holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Except as otherwise
required by Nevada law, and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, if any, all stockholder action is taken by
the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voting as a single class present at a meeting of stockholders
at which a quorum consisting of one-half of the outstanding shares of common stock is present in person or proxy.
Subject to the prior
rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of our common stock
are entitled to receive ratably, dividends when, as, and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for
that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The provisions of Nevada
law and our bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of the company.
These provisions may discourage and prevent coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.
Nevada Law
Nevada law contains
a provision governing “acquisition of controlling interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity
that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private
market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of
the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person
or entity acquires “control shares” whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition
act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: 20 to 33-1/3%; 33-1/3 to 50%; or more than 50%.
A “control share
acquisition” is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with
issued and outstanding control shares. The shareholders or Board of Directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of
the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock
from the control share acquisition act.
The control share acquisition
act is applicable only to shares of “Issuing Corporations” as defined by the Nevada law. An Issuing Corporation is
a Nevada corporation which (i) has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of
record and residents of Nevada, and (ii) does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
At this time, we do
not believe we have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada and we do not conduct business in Nevada directly. Therefore,
the provisions of the control share acquisition act are believed not to apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until
such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply, the provisions of the control share acquisition
act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of us, regardless of whether
such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.
The Nevada “Combination
with Interested Stockholders Statute” may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change
in control of us. This statute prevents an “interested stockholder” and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from
entering into a “combination,” unless certain conditions are met. The statute defines “combination” to
include any merger or consolidation with an “interested stockholder,” or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge,
transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an “interested stockholder” having
(i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (ii) an aggregate
market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, or (iii) representing
10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.
An “interested
stockholder” means the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting shares of a resident domestic corporation, or an affiliate
or associate thereof. A corporation affected by the statute may not engage in a “combination” within three years after
the interested stockholder acquires its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the Board of Directors before
the interested stockholder acquired such shares. If approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period,
the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the Board of Directors or a majority of the voting power held
by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest
of (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of
the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which he became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (ii)
the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares,
whichever is higher, or (iii) if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock.
Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws
Our articles of incorporation
are silent as to cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. Nevada law requires the existence of cumulative voting
rights to be provided for by a corporation's articles of incorporation. In the event that a few stockholders end up
owning a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock, the lack of cumulative voting would make it more difficult
for other stockholders to replace our Board of Directors or for a third party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board of
Directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not contain any explicit provisions that would have an effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of us.
Warrants
Duration
and Exercise Price.
The Warrants entitle
the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,711,875 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price
per share of $3.20, subject to adjustment as described below, and will expire five years after the date they are issued. The Warrants
will be issued separately from the common stock included in the shares and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter.
All Warrants will have the same expiration date.
Anti-Dilution
Protection. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock
dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock.
Cashless
Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises a Warrant, there is no effective registration statement registering,
or the prospectus contained therein is not available for an issuance of the shares underlying the Warrant to the holder,
then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate
exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares
of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrant.
Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, (A) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions, (i) consolidates or merges with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving
corporation) another person, or (ii) sells, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all
of the properties or assets of the Company to any other person, or (iii) makes, or allows any other person to make a purchase,
tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including
any shares of common stock held by the person(s) making or party to, or affiliated with any of the persons making or party to,
such purchase, tender or exchange offer); or (iv) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with any other person whereby
such other person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including any shares of common stock held
by the person(s) making or party to, or affiliated with any of the persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or
other business combination), or (v) reorganizes, recapitalizes or reclassifies its common stock, (B) the Company, directly
or indirectly, through one or more related transactions, allows any person or group to be or become the “beneficial owner”
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the aggregate voting
power represented by issued and outstanding common stock, or (C) the Company, directly or indirectly, through one or more
related transactions, issues or enters into any other instrument or transaction structured in a manner to circumvent, or that circumvents,
the intent of this definition, in which case this definition shall be construed and implemented in a manner to correct this definition
or any portion of this definition which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended treatment of such instrument or transaction
(each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then each holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of
a Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon
the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder
of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. Any successor to us, surviving entity
or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holder such alternate
consideration, and the other obligations, under the Warrant. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of any
Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive, in lieu of our shares and at the holders’
option, cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the form of Warrant) of the remaining unexercised
portion of the Warrant on the date of the transaction.
Transferability. The Warrants
may be transferred at the option of the Warrant holder upon surrender of the Warrants with the appropriate instruments
of transfer.
Exchange
Listing. We do not plan on making an application to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange
or other nationally recognized trading system.
Exercisability. The Warrants
will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied
by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless
exercise as discussed above). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent
that the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock
after exercise. The holder may increase or decrease this beneficial ownership limitation to any other percentage of our common
stock outstanding immediately after the exercise not in excess of 9.99%, upon notice to us, provided that, in the case of an increase,
such increase shall not be effective for 61 following the written notice to us.
Waivers
and Amendments. Subject to certain exceptions, the terms of a Warrant may be amended or waived only with
the written consent of the holder.
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation
authorize us to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We have neither issued any preferred stock nor designated the terms
of any class of preferred stock. The designation of the terms of any class of preferred stock are to be determined solely by our
board of directors. As a result, without the need for any vote by our shareholders, we could issue a class of securities that we
would be preferential in voting, distribution, liquidation or other rights to the securities that you may purchase in this offering.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent
and registrar for our common stock is V Stock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere,
NY 11598, Phone: (212) 828-8436.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to the terms
of the Warrants, the shares of common stock will be distributed to those Warrant holders who surrender exercise the Warrants together
with the payment of the exercise price. Those Warrant holders that have exercised the Warrants and received the underlying shares
will determine when, how and if they will resell those underlying shares.

DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our by-laws require
us to indemnify any of our officers or directors, and certain other persons, under certain circumstances against all expenses and
liabilities incurred or suffered by such persons because of a lawsuit or similar proceeding to which the person is made a party
by reason of a his being a director or officer of the Company or our subsidiaries, unless that indemnification is prohibited by
law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer which may cover claims for which we could not indemnify
a director or officer. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of our
officers, directors and controlling persons under these provisions, or otherwise, is against public policy and is unenforceable.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
is therefore unenforceable.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
|
Our officers and directors are indemnified
under Nevada law. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws are silent as to director and officer indemnification
other than to allow such indemnification to the greatest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Nevada Revised Statute. The registrant
is a Nevada corporation.
Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
provides that a director or officer will not be personally liable to the corporation and its stockholders unless it is proven that
(i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law. The provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes with respect to limiting personal
liability for directors and officers are self-executing and, to the extent the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation and By-laws would be deemed to be inconsistent therewith, the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes will control.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of
another entity or enterprise for which such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the corporation, who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, except an
action by or in the right of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith, arising by reason of such person’s service in such
capacity if such person (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or (ii) acted
in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the
case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, no indemnification may be made for any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom,
to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper.
Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes permits any discretionary indemnification under Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, unless ordered by
a court or advanced to a director or officer by the corporation in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, to be made by a
corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee
or agent is proper in the circumstances. Such determination must be made (1) by the stockholders, (2) by the board of
directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (3) if
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

however, that paragraphs 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) of this section 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 SEC by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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, 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:
|
a.
|
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
|
|
b.
|
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 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.
|
5.
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant
pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if
the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, each undersigned registrant
will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
a.
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
|
|
|
b.
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
|
|
|
c.
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information
about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
|
|
|
|
|
d.
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to
the purchaser.
|
6.
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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.
7.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of either 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 the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
on March 19, 2020.
