1,147,500 Shares

Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 1,147,500 shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders, including 472,500 shares of our common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase our common stock held by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders acquired 675,000 of the shares of common stock and the warrants to purchase 472,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated June 16, 2019.

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares. We will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the warrants, which, if exercised in cash with respect to all of the 472,500 shares of common stock offered hereby, would result in gross proceeds to us of $7.56 million; however, we cannot predict when and in what amounts or if the warrants will be exercised and there can be no assurance the warrants will be exercised for cash, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds.

We have agreed to bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of these shares. The selling stockholders will pay or assume discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers, if any, incurred for the sale of shares of our common stock.

The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer the shares from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 11. For a list of the selling stockholders, see the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” on page 13.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SOLY”. The last reported sales price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on June 27, 2019 was $14.62 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 6 of this prospectus before you make your decision to invest in our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, incorporated by reference in this prospectus .

Overview

We are a medical device company developing a novel and proprietary platform technology that uses rapid pulses of designed acoustic shockwaves to dramatically accelerate the removal of unwanted tattoos, reduce the appearance of cellulite and potentially address a number of fibrotic skin disorders. We filed for premarket clearance with the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for accelerating tattoo removal and received notification that our device was cleared by the FDA on May 24, 2019. This initial filing is limited to our device used in conjunction with the 1064 nm Q-switched laser to enable effective multiple pass laser treatments in a single office session to accelerate removal of black tattoos on the arms, legs and torso in Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-III individuals. However, based on preclinical testing, we believe our device has the ability to accelerate tattoo removal for additional colors and skin types and in conjunction with other tattoo removal lasers and wavelengths. We are based in Houston, Texas, and we have a staff of eight that are all actively engaged in bringing this device to the market.

While we believe our technology has many potential applications, we have initially focused on the removal of tattoos, where both animal and human studies have shown promising results. The current standard of care for tattoo removal is to use a Q-switched (pulsed) laser to ablate the tattoo ink particles into pieces small enough for the body’s natural processes to remove them. Unfortunately, this current method is highly inefficient, requiring up to 10 or more office visits to achieve acceptable results. A clinical trial has demonstrated that using our Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") device in conjunction with a Q-switched laser has the potential to produce similar results in just 2 to 3 office visits. We believe our method can not only dramatically accelerate tattoo removal, but also has the potential to lower removal cost for patients, while increasing profitability to practitioners, and to reduce the potential for unwanted side effects from current laser removal methods.

A proof-of-concept clinical trial appears to have shown the ability of a higher-powered version of our designed acoustic pulses to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe cellulite. Preliminary data suggests that the stand-alone use of our device may be capable of clinically significant reduction of cellulite with a single, non-invasive treatment with minimal-to-no pain, post-treatment discomfort or downtime. Our preclinical testing further suggests these cellulite reduction results may also be long-term and we have now expanded our testing to confirm this potential. Currently, the long-term reduction of moderate to severe cellulite requires the use of invasive and potentially painful procedures (such as the Cellfina® procedure) that result in significant post-treatment discomfort and downtime. We believe there is a significant unmet need for a non-invasive procedure producing clinically significant, long-term reduction of moderate to severe cellulite.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act), and therefore, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including:

•

a requirement to only have two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis;

•

exemption from the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;

•

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation;

•

exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments; and

•

can delay adopting new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act; instead we are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods.

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our capital stock held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits of the JOBS Act. We have taken advantage of some of the reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We filed the registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into concurrently with the securities purchase agreement with the selling stockholders to provide for the resale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock offered hereby.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. If any of the risks incorporated by reference herein occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We make forward-looking statements in this prospectus, including in the documents incorporated by reference herein. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors,” and the in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus.

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this prospectus describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future prospects to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

•

our ability to obtain additional funding to commercialize RAP for tattoo removal, develop the RAP device for other indications and develop our dermatological technologies;

•

the need to obtain regulatory approval for our Generation 1 RAP device, and the potential to obtain an additional approval when we modify the Generation 1 RAP device to become our Generation 2 device before our 2019 clinical trials and to become our Generation 3 device before our nationwide launch;

•

the success of our future clinical trials;

•

whether the results of our future clinical trials for cellulite replicate the results shown in our proof-of-concept trial;

•

compliance with obligations under our intellectual property license with MD Anderson;

•

market acceptance of the RAP device;

•

competition from existing products or new products that may emerge;

•

potential product liability claims;

•

our dependency on third-party manufacturers to supply or manufacture our products;

•

our ability to establish or maintain collaborations, licensing or other arrangements;

•

our ability and third parties’ abilities to protect intellectual property rights;

•

our ability to adequately support future growth;

•

our ability to attract and retain key personnel to manage our business effectively;

•

risks associated with our identification of material weaknesses in our control over financial reporting;

•

natural disasters affecting us, our primary manufacturer or our suppliers;

•

our ability to establish relationships with health care professionals and organizations;

•

general economic uncertainty that adversely effects spending on cosmetic procedures;

•

volatility in the market prices of our stock; and

•

potential dilution to current stockholders from the issuance of equity awards.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus in the case of forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus.

This prospectus also incorporates estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders identified herein. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares.

We will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the warrants, which, if exercised in cash with respect to all of the 472,500 shares of common stock offered hereby, would result in gross proceeds to us of $7.56 million.

We intend to use any proceeds received by us from the cash exercise of the warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the cash exercise of the warrants. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds. The holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at their own discretion and at any time until their expiration in accordance with the terms of the warrants. As a result, we cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the warrants may expire and never be exercised. In addition, the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of shares of common stock for which the warrants are exercisable. As a result, we may never receive meaningful, or any, cash proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary is a description of the material terms of our capital stock and is not complete. You should also refer to the Soliton, Inc. certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stockk. We currently have 15,693,715 shares of common stock outstanding which includes 187,498 shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested and are restricted from trading.

Common Stock

Shares of our common stock have the following rights, preferences and privileges:

Voting

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Any action at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be decided by a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, except in the case of any election of directors, which will be decided by a plurality of votes cast. There is no cumulative voting.

Dividends

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for payment, subject to the rights of holders, if any, of any class of stock having preference over the common stock. Any decision to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors may or may not determine to declare dividends in the future. The board’s determination to issue dividends will depend upon our profitability and financial condition any contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and the SEC, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably on the basis of the number of shares held in any of the assets available for distribution after we have paid in full, or provided for payment of, all of our debts and after the holders of all outstanding series of any class of stock have preference over the common stock, if any, have received their liquidation preferences in full.

Other

Our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of shares of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. Shares of our common stock are not convertible into shares of any other class of capital stock, nor are they subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Warrants

As of June 19, 2019, we had outstanding (i) five-year warrants to purchase 908,333 shares of common stock underlying warrants at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 472,500 shares of common stock underlying warrants at an exercise price of $16.00 per share issued in the June 2019 private placement.

Registration Rights

In connection with the June 2019 private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders under which we have agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the SEC, covering the resale of the 675,000 shares of common stock issued in the June 2019 private placement and the 472,500 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the June 2019 private placement.

Initial Public Offering; Convertible Notes

On February 19, 2019, we consummated our IPO. In the IPO, we sold a total of 2,172,591 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of $10,862,955 and net proceeds of approximately $9,700,000. In connection with the closing of the IPO, our convertible notes (and related accrued interest) of $11,784,987 were converted into 6,825,391 shares of our common stock, accrued dividends of $4,773,480 were converted into 954,696 shares of our common stock, preferred stock, both Series A and Series B, were converted into 2,534,766 shares of our common stock. In addition, 127,500 shares of unvested restricted grants were immediately vested upon the completion of the IPO. Total shares of common stock outstanding at the closing of the IPO amounted to 14,613,000. Upon the closing of the IPO, certain notes were to be automatically converted according to their terms into our common stock to the extent and provided that certain holders of these notes are not permitted to convert such notes to the extent that the holders or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of our common stock after such conversion. Due to this 4.99% limitation, principal representing $47,781 of these notes remained outstanding and will be converted into 273,034 shares of our common stock at such time when the conversion will not result in the holders and any of its affiliates to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common shares. The maturity date of these notes is automatically extended until such date the notes are fully converted and these notes cease to accrue interest and are not repayable in cash.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of anti-takeover provisions that may have the effect of encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include:

Advance Notice Requirements . Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely and given in writing to our corporate Secretary. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not fewer than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary date on which our notice of meeting and related proxy statement were mailed to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The notice must contain the information required by the bylaws, including information regarding the proposal and the proponent.

Special Meetings of Stockholders . Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by only the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the board of directors, or in their absence or disability, by any vice president.

No Written Consent of Stockholders . Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders must be affected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be affected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation. Our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of our shares to amend, alter or repeal certain provisions in the certificate of incorporation, including, how we elect directors, our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors, our agreement to limit the liability of our directors to the extent permitted by Delaware law, the prohibition on written consents discussed in the above paragraph, and that we have elected to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as described below). The requirement to obtain a vote of two-thirds of our shares will make it more difficult for stockholders to change our certificate of incorporation.

Exclusive Forum Provision . Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors or officers to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or our certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, and (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, a court could find these provisions of our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in respect of one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, which may require us to incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any “business combination” (as defined below) with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to this plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2⁄3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 of the DGCL defines generally “business combination” to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

settlement of short sales;

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a derivative action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or serving at the request of such corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The DGCL also permits indemnification by a corporation under similar circumstances for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with the defense or settlement of a derivative action or suit, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to such corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

To the extent a present or former director or officer is successful in the defense of such an action, suit or proceeding referenced above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, a corporation is required by the DGCL to indemnify such person for actual and reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such persons in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon in the case of a current officer or director, receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be so indemnified.

The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its bylaws, disinterested directors’ vote, stockholders’ vote and agreement or otherwise.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for violations of the directors’ fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitations on liability for its directors.

The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation in a similar capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above. In connection with this offering, the Registrant will obtain liability insurance for its directors and officers. Such insurance would be available to its directors and officers in accordance with its terms.

The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation in requires the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a “covered person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or member of a committee of the Registrant, or, while a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with a proceeding.

In addition, under the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation, in certain circumstances, the Registrant shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a covered person in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding; provided, however, that the Registrant shall not be required to advance any expenses to a person against whom the Registrant directly brings an action, suit or proceeding alleging that such person (1) committed an act or omission not in good faith or (2) committed an act of intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Additionally, an advancement of expenses incurred by a covered person shall be made only upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such covered person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal or otherwise in accordance with Delaware law that such covered person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL and the full text of the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto. Reference is made to the form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto for provisions providing that the underwriters are obligated under certain circumstances, to indemnify our directors, officers and controlling persons against certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes were convertible into either the Company’s preferred or common stock (depends on the equity securities offered in the equity financing) at 75% of the price paid per share in a subsequent equity financing where the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000 or at 85% of the per share price determined by dividing the equity value of the Company that is expected to be available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders by the aggregate number of the Company’s fully-diluted common shares upon the closing of a sale, liquidation, merger, or change of control of the Company. The Notes bore interest at 8.25% per annum and initially matured on June 29, 2018, which date was extended as discussed below. At maturity, the interest rate increased to 12.0% per annum.

Options to purchase 3,750 common shares vested on the date of grant and options to purchase 3,750 common shares vest on each of the anniversary after the grant date. The options had a fair value of $46,711 that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 1.92% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (2) expected life of 5.75 years based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin, (3) expected volatility range from 79.0% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock, (4) no expected dividends and (5) fair market value of the Company's stock at $3.21 per share which value was determined by the Company's Board after reviewing and considering, among other factors, the last time a private transaction for the Company’s stock occurred.

The options have an aggregated grant date fair value of $2,694,567 that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 2.77% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (2) expected life of 6.25 years based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin, (3) expected volatility range from 84.5% to 84.7% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock, (4) no expected dividends and (5) fair market value of the Company's stock at $1.67 per share which value was determined by the Company's Board after reviewing and considering, among other factors, a valuation report issued by an independent appraisal firm.

On April 20, 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase 79,350 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75. The warrants expire on April 20, 2023. The warrants were issued to a placement agent in connection with notes issued under the Fourth Note.

On June 8, 2018, the Company issued warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75. The warrants expire on June 8, 2023. The warrants were issued to a placement agent in connection with notes issued under the Fourth Note.

On April 2, 2018, the Board approved a note purchase agreement (the "Third Note"), which was amended on August 10, 2018, allowing the Company to sell an aggregate of $500,000 of Notes. The Third Note provided that, on the closing date of the IPO, the outstanding principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest would be converted into common stock at the conversion price of $0.175. However, certain notes holders are not permitted to convert their notes when the holders or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock after such conversion. The holders of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares agreed to waive the adjustment to the preferred stock conversion price triggered by the Third Note. The Notes bore interest at 10.0% per annum and mature on April 2, 2020.

As of December 31, 2018, the total amount of issuance under the Third Note amounted to $500,000. The Company issued $250,000 to a single related party, who is a major stockholder of the Company, and $250,000 to four non-related party investors.

On April 17, 2018, the Board approved a note purchase agreement (the "Fourth Note") allowing the Company to sell an aggregate of $3,000,000 of Notes. The Fourth Note provided that the outstanding principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest would be converted into common stock at the conversion price of $1.75. The holders of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares had agreed to waive the adjustment to the preferred stock conversion price triggered by the Fourth Note. The Notes bore interest at 10.0% per annum and matured two years from the Note issuance date.

As of December 31, 2018, the total amount of issuance under the Fourth Note amounted to $3,000,000. The Company issued $1,272,000 in principal amount of such Notes to related party investors and $1,728,000 to non-related party investors.

On August 7, 2018, the Board authorized us to commence a new offering for up to $485,000 in non-convertible notes, which were accompanied by a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $1.75 per share for each dollar in principal amount of notes purchased. On August 31, 2018, the Board approved a $200,000 increase to the notes that could be issued to a maximum of $685,000. On December 21, 2018, the Board approved an additional $300,000 increase to the notes that could be issued to a maximum of $985,000. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we issued an aggregate principal amount of such notes and warrants of $685,000. The notes and warrants were sold without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering to accredited investors.

In January and February 2019, we closed the final tranches of the Fifth Note for $300,000. The principal and interest on the Fifth Note was due on the earlier of one-year from the date of issuance or upon successful completion of our IPO. For each dollar in principal amount of notes purchased by investors, we issued the investors a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share that can be exercised (i) at any time on or after the issuances of the Fifth Note and (ii) on or prior to the close of business on the five-year anniversary of the issuances of the Fifth Note.

In January 2019, Mr. Klemp, Dr. Capelli, Mr. Tanner, Ms. Bisson and one other individual agreed to the extinguishment of approximately $484,000 in deferred compensation which had been earned through September 30, 2018, and which was to be repaid out of the proceeds from the Company's IPO. In recognition of this extinguishment, on February 5, 2019, the Company granted the same parties an aggregate of 401,750 options to purchase common stock with an exercise price of $1.75 per share and a term of 10 years. These options vest in four installments over the next year.

On May 8, 2019, we issued 87,500, 87,500 and 25,000 shares of common stock to three consultants in connection with the provision of services pursuant to agreements entered into effective April 15, 2019, April 15, 2019 and April 29, 2019, respectively. The consultants were each accredited investors. 25,000 share vest within four months of the agreement. The remaining 175,000 shares vest over 42-months, beginning September 19, 2019.

On June 16, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors for the sale by us in a private placement of 675,000 units (each a “Unit”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, and (ii) 0.7 of a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $16.00 per share. The offering price of the Units was $14.00 per Unit.

The issuance of the above shares, notes and warrants was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the issuance of the options was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 701.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) Exhibits : The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules : All schedules are omitted because the required information is inapplicable or the information is presented in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

p rovided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 hereunder, 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
