ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus dated November 18, 2014, including the documents incorporated by reference, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, before the date of this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date - for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus - the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. You should read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, in their entirety before making an investment decision.

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, along with the information contained in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering.

We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties and covenants were accurate only as of the date when made; therefore, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurate representations of the current state of our affairs.

Forward-looking statements include projections, assumptions or information concerning possible or assumed future actions, events or our results of operations. These statements involve estimates and assumptions based on the judgment of the company’s management. A number of risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements include the information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These statements may be made regarding the business, operations, financial performance and condition, earnings, our prospects and products, as well as regarding our industry generally. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “should” or similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should understand that these factors, in addition to those discussed in “Risk Factors” below and elsewhere in this document, and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

RISK FACTORS

 

We are in the early stages of launching our commercial pharmaceutical revenue generating operations and do not have a history of sales revenues. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, as well any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC and the risks described below. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus and the incorporated documents also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

 
S-5

 

Sales of our Common Stock to Aspire Capital may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and the sale of the shares of our Common Stock acquired by Aspire Capital could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

This prospectus supplement relates to $30,000,000 of our Common Stock that we may issue and sell to Aspire Capital from time to time pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, together with the Commitment Shares. It is anticipated that shares offered to Aspire Capital in this offering will be sold over a period of up to 36 months from the date of this prospectus supplement. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale to Aspire Capital under this prospectus supplement is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of our Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

Aspire Capital may ultimately purchase all or some of the $30,000,000 of our Common Stock that, together with the 160,000 Commitment Shares, is the subject of this prospectus supplement. After Aspire Capital has acquired shares under the Purchase Agreement, it may sell all, some or none of those shares. Sales to Aspire Capital by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement under this prospectus supplement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock to Aspire Capital in this offering, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Aspire Capital and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds from sales of our Common Stock to Aspire Capital offered by this prospectus supplement, and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Common Stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

In addition to potential dilution associated with future fundraising transactions, we currently have significant numbers of securities outstanding that are exercisable for our Common Stock, which could result in significant additional dilution and downward pressure on our stock price.

 

As of March 23, 2015, there were 117,428,508 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. In addition, as of December 31, 2014, there were outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, convertible debt and warrants representing the potential issuance of an additional 44,411,994 shares of our Common Stock. The issuance of these shares in the future would result in significant dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock and the terms on which we could raise additional capital. In addition, the issuance and subsequent trading of shares could cause the supply of our Common Stock available for purchase in the market to exceed the purchase demand for our Common Stock. Such supply in excess of demand could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

Future sales of a significant number of our shares of Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our shares of Common Stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our shares of Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A substantial number of shares of Common Stock are being offered by this prospectus supplement, and we cannot predict if and when Aspire Capital may sell such shares in the public markets. In addition, we cannot predict the number of these shares that might be sold nor the effect that future sales of our shares of Common Stock would have on the market price of our shares of Common Stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We intend to use the estimated net proceeds from the sale of these securities for general working capital purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to pay off outstanding indebtedness and/or acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies. Although we have no specific agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to any acquisition other than those publicly disclosed, we evaluate acquisition opportunities and engage in related discussions with other companies from time to time and may use a portion of the proceeds from this offering in connection with one or more such acquisitions.

 

The amounts and timing of these expenditures will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing, scope, progress and results of our research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering efforts, and the competitive environment for our product candidates. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds of this offering received from time to time in connection with purchases under the Purchase Agreement described above,, we intend to invest the net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents, including short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

DILUTION

 

Our net tangible book value as of March 18, 2015 was approximately $2.748 million, or $0.02 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share of common stock is calculated by subtracting our total liabilities from our total tangible assets, which is total assets less intangible assets, and dividing this amount by the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

After giving effect to (i) the issuance of 160,000 Commitment Shares, and (ii) the assumed sale of 9,493,671 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $30,000,000 million at an assumed offering price of $3.16 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on March 23, 2015, and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us of $100,000, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 28, 2015 would have been approximately $32.65 million, or $0.26 per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.24 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.90 per share to investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

The foregoing dilution information assumes an offering price equal to the closing price for our Common Stock on March 23, 2015 and is based on 117,428,508 shares outstanding as of March 28, 2015. The actual price at which we sell shares in this offering may be higher or lower than this assumed price and our total shares may continue to change, and is expected to continue to change. An increase of $0.24 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $3.16 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $30,000,000 is sold at that price, would increase our adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $0.24 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $2.90 per share, after deducting estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.

 

The above discussion and table are based on the 117,428,508 shares outstanding as of March 23, 2014 and exclude the following:

 

·

38,857,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.16 per share;

   

·

1,507,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $1.14 per share; and

   

·

450,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, of which 40,977,500 shares have been granted.

THE ASPIRE TRANSACTION

 

General

 

On March 30, 2015, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock (the “Purchase Shares”) from time to time over the term of the Purchase Agreement plus, as consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 160,000 shares of our Common Stock to Aspire Capital (the “Commitment Shares”).

 

We are filing this prospectus supplement with regard to the offering of our Common Stock consisting of (i) the Commitment Shares, and (ii) additional shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000,000 million that we may sell to Aspire Capital pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

Purchase of Shares under the Purchase Agreement

 

On any business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement (until March 26, 2018), we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 200,000 Purchase Shares per business day; however, no sale pursuant to such a Purchase Notice may exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per business day, unless we and Aspire Capital mutually agree. We and Aspire Capital also may mutually agree to increase the number of shares that may be sold to as much as an additional 2,000,000 Purchase Shares per business day. The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such Purchase Notice (the “Purchase Price”) is the lower of:

 

 

(i)

the lowest sale price for our Common Stock on the date of sale; or

 

 

 
 

(ii)

the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our Common Stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date.

 

The applicable Purchase Price will be determined prior to delivery of any Purchase Notice.

 

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital for at least 200,000 Purchase Shares, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our Common Stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on the next business day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares determined by us (the “VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum”). The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) shall be the lesser of the closing sale on the VWAP Purchase Date or 95% of the volume weighted average price for our Common Stock traded on (i) the VWAP Purchase Date if the aggregate shares to be purchased on that date does not exceed the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum, or (ii) the portion of such business day until such time as the aggregate shares to be purchased will equal the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum.

 

 
S-9

 

Further, if on the VWAP Purchase Date the sale price of our Common Stock falls below the greater of (i) 80% of the closing price of our Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (ii) the price set by us in the VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Minimum Price Threshold”), the VWAP Purchase Amount will be determined using the percentage in the VWAP Purchase Notice of the total shares traded for such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the sale price of our Common Stock fell below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold and the VWAP Purchase Price will be 95% of the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock sold during such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the sale price of our Common Stock fell below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold.

 

The number of Purchase Shares covered by and timing of each Purchase Notice or VWAP Purchase Notice are determined by the Company, at our sole discretion. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. We did not pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate Aspire Capital in connection with the transaction. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

 

Events of Default

 

Aspire Capital may terminate the Purchase Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

 

   

·

the effectiveness of any registration statement that is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement between us and Aspire Capital lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable for sale of our shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of thirty business days in any 365-day period;

       
   

·

the suspension from trading or failure of our Common Stock to be listed on our principal market for a period of three consecutive business days;

       
   

·

the delisting of our Common Stock from our principal market, and our Common Stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB or OTCQX market places of the OTC Markets;

       
   

·

our transfer agent’s failure to issue to Aspire Capital shares of our Common Stock which Aspire Capital is entitled to receive under the Purchase Agreement within five business days after an applicable purchase date;

       
   

·

any breach by us of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or any related agreements which could have a material adverse effect on us subject to a cure period of five business days;

       
   

·

any person commences a proceeding against us pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law;

       
   

·

if we, pursuant to any bankruptcy law, (i) commence a voluntary case, (ii) consent to the entry of an order for relief against us in an involuntary case, (iii) consent to the appointment of a custodian for us or for all or substantially all of our property, (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors or (v) we become insolvent; or

       
   

·

if a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any bankruptcy law that (i) is for relief against us in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a custodian for all or substantially all of our property or (iii) orders the liquidation of us or any of our subsidiaries.

 

Our Termination Rights

 

We may terminate the Purchase Agreement with notice at any time, in our discretion, without any cost or penalty.

 

 
S-10

 

No Short-Selling or Hedging by Aspire Capital

 

Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our Common Stock during any time prior to the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

 

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on Our Stockholders

 

The Purchase Agreement does not limit the ability of Aspire Capital to sell any or all of the shares it currently owns or receives in this offering. It is anticipated that shares sold to Aspire Capital in this offering will be sold to Aspire Capital over a period of up to 36 months from the date of this prospectus supplement, or until March 26, 2018. The subsequent resale by Aspire Capital of a significant amount of shares sold to Aspire Capital in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline or to be highly volatile. Aspire Capital may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the additional $30.0 million of Common Stock offered, together with the Commitment Shares and Initial Purchase Shares, under this prospectus supplement. Aspire Capital may resell all, some or none of the Commitment Shares and any Purchase Shares it acquires. Therefore, sales to Aspire Capital by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and this prospectus supplement also may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common Stock. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Aspire Capital and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

 

Amount of Potential Proceeds to be Received under the Purchase Agreement

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, we may sell Purchase Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000,000 to Aspire from time to time. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale to Aspire Capital in this offering is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to Aspire Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The following table sets forth the amount of proceeds we would receive from Aspire Capital from the sale of shares at varying purchase prices:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We entered into the Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital on March 30, 2015. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we will issue the Commitment Shares to Aspire Capital. The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Aspire Capital is irrevocably committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement.

 

On any business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement (until March 26, 2018), we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase up to 200,000 Purchase Shares per business day; however, no sale pursuant to such a Purchase Notice may exceed five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per business day, unless we and Aspire Capital mutually agree. We and Aspire Capital also may mutually agree to increase the number of shares that may be sold to as much as an additional 2,000,000 Purchase Shares per business day. The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such Purchase Notice (the “Purchase Price”) is the lower of (i) the lowest sale price for our Common Stock on the date of sale; or (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our Common Stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date. The applicable Purchase Price will be determined prior to delivery of any Purchase Notice.

 

In addition, on any date on which we submit a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital for at least 200,000 Purchase Shares, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of our Common Stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on the next business day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares determined by us (the “VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum”). The purchase price per Purchase Share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) shall be 95% of the volume weighted average price for our Common Stock traded on (i) the VWAP Purchase Date if the aggregate shares to be purchased on that date does not exceed the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum, or (ii) the portion of such business day until such time as the aggregate shares to be purchased will equal the VWAP Purchase Share Volume Maximum. Further, if on the VWAP Purchase Date the sale price of our Common Stock falls below the greater of (i) 80% of the closing price of our Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date or (ii) the price set by us in the VWAP Purchase Notice (the “VWAP Minimum Price Threshold”), the VWAP Purchase Amount will be determined using the percentage in the VWAP Purchase Notice of the total shares traded for such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the sale price of our Common Stock fell below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold and the VWAP Purchase Price will be 95% of the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock sold during such portion of the VWAP Purchase Date prior to the time that the sale price of our Common Stock fell below the VWAP Minimum Price Threshold.

 

 
S-12

 

The number of Purchase Shares covered by and timing of each Purchase Notice or VWAP Purchase Notice are determined by the Company, at our sole discretion. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. We did not pay any additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate Aspire Capital in connection with the transaction. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any penalty or cost to us.

 

Aspire Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

Neither we nor Aspire Capital can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between Aspire Capital, any other shareholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this prospectus supplement. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters, or dealers and any other required information.

 

We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to Aspire Capital. We have agreed to indemnify Aspire Capital and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of Common Stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Aspire Capital has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by Aspire Capital specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

 

Aspire Capital and its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our Common Stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

 

We have advised Aspire Capital that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling shareholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.

 

We may suspend the sale of shares to Aspire Capital pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

 

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold to Aspire Capital.

Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

We are a clinical stage developmental biotechnology pharmaceutical company focused on discovering small molecule drugs for hard to treat diseases, including drug-resistant cancers, psoriasis, autism and inflammatory disease. The Company has no customers, products or revenues to date, and may never achieve revenues or profitable operations.

 

On September 4, 2013, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Polymedix Inc., and Polymedix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from a Chapter 7 trustee for the bankrupt estate of these entities (the “Polymedix Assets”). The aggregate purchase price for the sale and transfer of the Polymedix Assets was $2.1 million in cash, plus 1.4 million shares of our Class A common stock. The total aggregate purchase price was approximately $4.8 million.

 

On October 23, 2014, we announced positive top-line data from our Phase 2b ABSSSI trial with our lead antibiotic compound, Brilacidin. The trial, which began in February 2014, enrolled 215 total subjects in four treatment arms, with approximately 25% in each treatment arm. The primary endpoint was clinical success in the intent-to-treat population, defined as reduction of at least 20% in area of ABSSSI lesion, relative to baseline, when observed 48-72 hours after the first dose of study drug, and no rescue antibiotics administered. This is consistent with the 2013 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance for ABSSSI studies and is the same endpoint used in recent approvals for ABSSSI drugs. All three Brilacidin treatment arms (two single-dose regimens and one three-day dose regimen) reached the primary endpoint, with the clinical success rate for each dosing regimen statistically comparable to the clinical success rate of the FDA-approved seven-day dosing regimen of daptomycin. All Brilacidin treatment regimens were well tolerated. There were six severe adverse events (SAE) reported across the study, none of which were considered related to Brilacidin by the principal investigator. Biostatistics are being reviewed and will be made available to shareholders over the coming weeks.

 

Our lead cancer compound, Kevetrin, is presently in its 9th cohort in a Phase 1 clinical trial at Harvard Cancer Center's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and partner Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, testing Kevetrin against advanced solid tumors.

 

In June 2014, we completed a Phase 1 trial for the treatment of psoriasis with our compound, Prurisol. We are awaiting a meeting with the FDA to present our end of Phase 1 package and to discuss our planned Phase 2/ 3 protocol. Upon FDA acceptance of the protocol, we can start the Phase 2/3 study.

 

On October 13, 2014 we announced the acceptance of our filed IND (Investigational New Drug Application) by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Oral Mucositis with Brilacidin.

 

We are further developing Brilacidin for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer infections and other indications such as, ophthalmic and otitic infections. Also in development are novel compounds for Gram negative and fungal infections.

 

On October 20, 2014 the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Dr. William James Alexander as our Chief Operations Officer for the term of one year effective October 27, 2014. Dr. Alexander had been serving the Company as a medical consultant since 2012. From June 2006 to June 2008 he served as Vice President, Clinical Development at BioCryst Pharmaceuticals. From July 2008 to present he operated as a sole proprietorship under the name of Alexander Pharma Consulting, LLC. Dr. Alexander previously held clinical development and/or pharmacovigilance positions with SmithKline Beecham, Glaxo, Glaxo Wellcome, and BioCryst. He has contributed to clinical development programs supporting the approval of drugs for the treatment of bacterial and viral infections (HIV, herpes viruses, and influenza), asthma, COPD, and migraine. Dr. Alexander received his M.D. from the University of Mississippi and his M.P.H. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Alexander is board certified in internal medicine and infectious diseases.

We anticipate using our expertise and resources to manage and perform what we believe are the most critical aspects of the product development process which include: (i) engage in product discovery of compounds within our portfolio library, (ii) the design and oversight of clinical trials; (iii) the development and execution of strategies for the protection and maintenance of intellectual property rights; and (iv) the interaction with regulatory authorities.

 

The Company’s stock symbol is “CTIX” and is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

We are in the business of developing and/or acquiring innovative small molecule therapies to treat diseases with significant medical need. Our strategy is to use our business and scientific expertise to maximize the value of our diverse pipeline. We expect to develop the highest quality data and broadest intellectual property to support our compounds.

 

We currently own all development and marketing rights to our products. In order to successfully develop and market our products, we may have to partner with other companies. Prospective partners may require that we grant them significant development and/or commercialization rights in return for agreeing to share the risk of development and/or commercialization.

 

History and Corporate Structure

 

The Company was incorporated as Econoshare, Inc. on August 1, 2005, in the State of Nevada. On December 6, 2007, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, Econoshare, Inc. acquired 100% of the equity of Cellceutix Pharma, Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation, in exchange for an aggregate of 82,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, resulting in an aggregate of 91,791,000 shares of Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. As a result of such exchange, Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former holders of Cellceutix Pharma, Inc. owned approximately 89% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

On January 14, 2008, a majority of the stockholders of EconoShare, Inc. approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Cellceutix Corporation. Upon the filing of a Definitive Information Statement and the effectiveness of the name change on February 1, 2008, the Company applied to the National Association of Security Dealers (NASD) to change its stock symbol on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board which resulted in the Company’s stock symbol being changed to “CTIX”.

 

Polymedix Asset Acquisition

 

PolyMedix Inc. was founded in 2002 based on technology licensed from the University of Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price for the sale and transfer of the Polymedix Assets was $2.1 million in cash, plus 1.4 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The total aggregate purchase price was approximately $4.8 million. At any time through September 4, 2014, the Court Trustee, or any holder of these shares could have made demand upon us to repurchase the shares at $1.00 per share. No demands were made for repurchases and the agreement has expired.

 

Included in the purchase are rights to intellectual property, compounds, clinical studies and equipment, the most significant value being the clinical studies and intellectual property. The asset purchase agreement for the Polymedix Assets was filed with the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 4, 2013.

 

The Polymedix Assets also included two license agreements from University of Pennsylvania, an exclusive patent license agreement and a nonexclusive software license agreement, that were acquired by Cellceutix.

The applicable prospectus supplement will provide more details on the use of proceeds of any specific offering.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities described in this prospectus on a continuous or delayed basis directly to purchasers, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or the purchasers of the securities, in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange, or otherwise or through a combination of any such methods of sale. Discounts, concessions or commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices, which may be changed from time to time, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:

 

 

·

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including, as of the date of this prospectus, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the case of our common stock;

 

·

in the over-the-counter market;

 

·

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; or

 

·

through the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise.

 

Each time that we use this prospectus to sell our securities, we shall also provide a prospectus supplement. For each series of securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering including:

 

 

·

the public offering price;

 

·

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

·

the purchase price of the securities;

 

·

the proceeds from the sale of the securities to us;

 

·

any underwriting discounts, agency fees, or other compensation payable to underwriters or agents;

 

·

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or repaid to dealers; and

 

·

the securities exchanges on which the securities will be listed, if any.

If we use underwriters in the sale of securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may then resell the securities in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or thereafter. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered if they purchase any securities. The public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we will sell securities to such dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the time of resale. We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly, and we may sell the securities directly to institutional or other investors, who may be deemed underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of those securities. The terms of these sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we use agents in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, they will use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, if we sell directly, no underwriters, dealers or agents would be involved. We will not make an offer of securities in any jurisdiction that does not permit such an offer.

 

We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of securities an option to purchase additional securities to cover overallotments, if any, in connection with the distribution. Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with SEC orders, rules and regulations and applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law and SEC orders, rules and regulations, an overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. To the extent permitted by applicable law and SEC orders, rules and regulations, short covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the common stock originally sold by the dealer is purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in any distribution of securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions or profit they receive when they resell the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered in the prospectus supplement. We may have agreements with underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that they may be required to make.

 

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain institutions whereby the institution contractually agrees to purchase the securities from us on a future date at a specific price. This type of contract may be made only with institutions that we specifically approve. Such institutions could include banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. The underwriters, dealers or agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of these contracts.

 

Each series of securities will be a new issue of securities. Our Class A common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CTIX”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, our securities (other than our common stock) will not be listed on any exchange. It has not presently been established whether the underwriters, if any, of the securities will make a market in the securities. If the underwriters make a market in the securities, such market making may be discontinued at any time without notice.

 

 
9

 

Agents, dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers or underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

We are authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

As of the date of this prospectus we have reserved 2,248,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance upon the exercise of warrants.

Class A Common Stock

 

Each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, and each holder does not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Holders of Class A common stock do not have preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. All outstanding shares of Class A common stock are, and the shares of Class A common stock offered by us in any offering utilizing this prospectus, when issued and paid for, will be fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Class A common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate in the future.

 

Class B Common Stock

 

The holders of shares of the Class B common stock at their election shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to convert any or all of their shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, on a one for one basis, by delivery to the Company of the certificates representing such shares of Class B common stock duly endorsed for such conversion. Any shares of the Class B common stock that are transferred will automatically convert into shares of the Class A Common Stock, on a one to one basis, effective as of the date on which certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer on the books of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has sole discretion to issue the Class B common stock.

 

 
10

 

Holder of shares of the Class B common stock are entitled to cast ten (10) votes in person or by proxy for each share of Class B common stock standing in such holder's name on the transfer books of the Company. Except as otherwise provided above and subject to the limitations provided by law and subject to any voting rights applicable to shares of preferred stock, the holders of shares of the Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock shall vote together as a single class, together with the holders of any shares of the Preferred Stock which are entitled to vote, and not as a separate class.

 

Krishna Menon and Leo Ehrlich, our President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, each have vested options that they can each exercise and convert into 18,000,000 shares of Class B common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, option and other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by our board of directors, without any further vote or action by our stockholders, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

 

No shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding, however, on May 9, 2012, our board of directors designated an aggregate of 500,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”), of which no shares of Series A Stock are currently issued or outstanding.

 

Our board of directors may fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these series by adopting a certificate of designation relating to each series including:

 

 

·

the maximum number of shares in the series and the distinctive designation thereof;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms on which dividends will be paid, if any;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms on which the shares will be redeemed, if at all;

 

 

 

 

·

the liquidation preference, if any;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms of any retirement or sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of the shares of the series;

 

 

 

 

·

the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares of the series will be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of capital stock;

 

 

 

 

·

the voting rights, if any, on the shares of the series;

 

 

 

 

·

any securities exchange or market on which the shares will be listed; and

 

 

 

 

·

any other preferences and relative, participating, operation or other special rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares.

 

Our issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. Our issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of Class A common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of Class A common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our Class A common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer from time to time under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future debt securities that may be offered under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that may be offered in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below.

 

We may issue secured or unsecured debt securities offered under this prospectus, which may be senior, subordinated or junior subordinated, and which may be convertible and which may be issued in one or more series. We will issue any new senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee named in such senior indenture. We will issue any subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture that we will enter into with a trustee named in such subordinated indenture. The terms of the debt securities will include those set forth in the applicable indenture, any related supplemental indenture and any related securities documents that are made a part of the indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). You should read the summary below, the applicable prospectus supplement and the provisions of the applicable indenture, any supplemental indenture and any related security documents, if any, in their entirety before investing in our debt securities. We use the term “indentures” to refer to both the senior indentures and the subordinated indentures.

 

The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. We use the term “trustee” to refer to either a trustee under the senior indenture or a trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

 

The following summaries of material provisions of any senior debt securities, any subordinated debt securities and the related indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indentures and any supplemental indenture or related document applicable to a particular series of debt securities. In addition, the material specific financial, legal and other terms as well as any material U.S. federal income tax consequences particular to securities of each series will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the securities of that series. The prospectus supplement may or may not modify the general terms found in this prospectus and will be filed with the SEC. For a complete description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, you should read both this prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to that particular series, as well as the complete indentures that contain the terms of the debt securities. See “Prospectus Summary - Where You Can Find More Information” for information on how to obtain a copy of the appropriate indenture. Except as we may otherwise indicate, the terms of any senior indenture and any subordinated indenture will be identical.

15

 

Events of Default under the Indentures

 

Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

 

·

if we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for 30 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;

     
 

·

if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and payable and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;

     
 

·

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the debt securities or the indentures, other than a covenant solely for the benefit of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

     
 

·

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above under “Events of Default Under the Indentures,” the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above “Events of Default Under the Indentures” occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each series of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences (other than bankruptcy defaults), except there may be no waiver of defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the applicable indenture.

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

 

·

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

     
 

·

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

 
16

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

 

 

·

the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

     
 

·

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request to the trustee, and such holders have offered indemnity satisfactory to the trustee, to institute the proceeding as trustee; and

     
 

·

the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions, within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

 

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with the covenants in the indentures.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

We and the trustee may modify an indenture or enter into or modify any supplemental indenture without the consent of any holders of the debt securities with respect to specific matters, including:

 

 

·

to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture;

     
 

·

to comply with the provisions described above under “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale;”

     
 

·

to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

     
 

·

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee;

     
 

·

to provide for uncertificated debt securities and to make any appropriate changes for such purpose;

     
 

·

to add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issuance, authorization and delivery of debt securities of any unissued series;

     
 

·

to add to our covenants such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default, or to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture; or

     
 

·

to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any holder of debt securities of any series.

 

 
17

 

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, we and the trustee may only make the following changes with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

 

·

extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;

     
 

·

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities; or

     
 

·

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental indenture.

 

Discharge

 

Each indenture provides that, subject to the terms of the indenture and any limitation otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

 

·

register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

     
 

·

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

     
 

·

maintain paying agents and agencies for payment, registration of transfer and exchange and service of notices and demands;

     
 

·

recover excess money held by the trustee;

     
 

·

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

     
 

·

appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

 
18

 

“Street Name” and Other Indirect Holders

 

Investors who hold securities in accounts at banks or brokers generally will not be recognized by us as legal holders of debt securities. This manner of holding securities is called holding in “street name.” Instead, we would recognize only the bank or broker, or the financial institution that the bank or broker uses to hold its securities. These intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions pass along principal, interest and other payments on the debt securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. If you hold debt securities in “street name,” you should check with your own institution to find out, among other things:

 

 

·

how it handles payments and notices;

     
 

·

whether it imposes fees or charges;

     
 

·

how it would handle voting if applicable;

     
 

·

whether and how you can instruct it to send you debt securities registered in your own name so you can be a direct holder as described below; and

     
 

·

if applicable, how it would pursue rights under your debt securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests.

 

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee under the indentures and those of any third parties employed by us or the trustee under either of the indentures, run only to persons who are registered as holders of debt securities issued under the applicable indenture. As noted above, we do not have obligations to you if you hold in “street name” or other indirect means, either because you choose to hold debt securities in that manner or because the debt securities are issued in the form of global securities as described below. For example, once we make payment to the registered holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment even if that holder is legally required to pass the payment along to you as a “street name” customer but does not do so.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We may issue debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures will provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series (the “Depository”). See “Book-Entry” below for a further description of the terms relating to any book-entry securities.

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described below or in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

 
19

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth below in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

 

·

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of any series being redeemed in part during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

     
 

·

register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Book-Entry Securities

 

The following description of book-entry securities will apply to any series of debt securities issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, except as otherwise described in a related prospectus supplement.

 

Book-entry securities of like tenor and having the same date will be represented by one or more global securities deposited with and registered in the name of a depositary that is a clearing agent registered under the Exchange Act, as amended. Beneficial interests in book-entry securities will be limited to institutions that have accounts with the depositary, or “participants,” or persons that may hold interests through participants.

 

Ownership of beneficial interests by participants will only be evidenced by, and the transfer of that ownership interest will only be effected through, records maintained by the depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests by persons that hold through participants will only be evidenced by, and the transfer of that ownership interest within such participant will only be effected through, records maintained by the participants. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

 

Payment of principal of and any premium and interest on book-entry securities represented by a global security registered in the name of or held by a depositary will be made to the depositary, as the registered owner of the global security. Neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the depositary’s records or any participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the depositary’s records or any participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by the depositary’s procedures, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name,” and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

A global security representing a book-entry security is exchangeable for definitive debt securities in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of, or is transferable in whole or in part to, a person other than the depositary for that global security, only if (i) the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for that global security or the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series or (iii) other circumstances exist that have been specified in the terms of the debt securities of that series. Any global security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the depositary shall instruct the trustee. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in such global security.

 

Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the indentures, and no global security shall be exchangeable, except for a security registered in the name of the depositary. This means each person owning a beneficial interest in such global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indentures. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or an owner of a beneficial interest in such global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indentures, the depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participant to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

 

Information Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture and is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur. However, upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that, unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. We will designate an office or agency of the trustee as our paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

Governing Law

 

Except as otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nevada except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units composed of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

 
23

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

·

The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by Burton, Bartlett & Glogovac, Reno, Nevada.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of Cellceutix Corporation as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2014, and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014 have been incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, independent registered public accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report covering the June 30, 2014 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the Company’s constituent documents, 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 in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person connected with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our 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.
