FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting optimism,
satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects, as well as words such as “believes,” “hopes,” “intends,”
“estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “plans,” “anticipates” and variations
thereof, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance, and actual results could vary materially from
those contained in or expressed by such statements. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future
events and are based on currently available financial, economic, scientific, and competitive data and information on current business
plans.
Our forward-looking statements specifically
include statements about the Company’s lead oncology candidate, MI-O-101, which has shown positive results in preclinical
animal models, which results may never translate during human clinical testing or trials, studies or other programs or our ability
to continue those programs, the ability to obtain regulatory approval for commercial sales, the market for actual commercial sales,
and the impact of health epidemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and operations. You should not place
undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things:
(i) the sufficiency of the Company’s cash position, (ii) the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to fund
its operations, (iii) the Company’s ability to enter into agreements to develop, manufacture, and distribute our product
candidate for clinical trials and our reliance on these third parties which are few in number, (iv) the Company’s ability
to enter into partnership or licensing arrangements with third-parties, including the Company’s ability to license the technology,
including MI-O-101, under its current option agreement with Case Western Reserve University, (v) the Company’s ability to
initiate trials and identify patients to enroll in its clinical trials in a timely fashion, (vi) the Company’s ability to
achieve approval of a marketable product, (vii) the design, implementation and conduct of the Company’s clinical trials,
(viii) the results of the Company’s future clinical trials, including the possibility of unfavorable clinical trial results,
(ix) the market for, and marketability of, any product that is approved, if any (x) the existence or development of other treatments
that are viewed by medical professionals or patients as superior to the Company’s products, (xi) regulatory initiatives,
compliance with governmental regulations and the regulatory approval process, (xii) litigation affecting the Company or its products;
(xiii) general economic and business conditions, (ix) changes in foreign, political, and social conditions, and (xv) various other
matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties develop, or should
underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed,
estimated, or otherwise indicated by our forward-looking statements. We urge you to specifically consider the various risk factors
identified in this prospectus, including the statements set forth in the sections titled “Risk Factors” or elsewhere
in this prospectus, in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated herein or
therein by reference, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking
statements. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any responsibility to update any forward-looking statements to take
into account events or circumstances that occur after the date of this prospectus.

About Us
We are a development-stage biotechnology
company focused on a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based therapeutics and vaccines to treat
and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Mosaic’s founders came together to advance
the development of a novel nanoparticle-based intra-tumoral immunotherapy with broad potential to treat solid cancers in both humans
and companion animals.
Our lead oncology candidate, MI-O-101,
resulted from years of research by our scientific co-founders that was supported by numerous grants totaling more than $20 million
in aggregate from federal and private funding agencies. Published data from these studies and ongoing research supports MI-O-101
anti-cancer activity as a monotherapy and has established its ability to improve standard cancer therapies including chemotherapy,
radiation and immunotherapy in a wide variety of tumor types, including data from preclinical animal models, veterinary studies
in companion animals with naturally occurring cancer, as well as the potential to activate human immune cells. MI-O-101 is currently
in late-stage preclinical development with plans to advance the lead candidate towards Phase 1 as funding becomes available.
Our Modular Vaccine Platform (“MVP”) is
based on combining the same nanotechnology-based adjuvant used in immuno-oncology with carefully selected targets of interest
to direct a protective or potentially a therapeutic immune response. This technology platform has been successfully evaluated for
effectiveness with oncology cancer targets, oncology virus targets and recently in infectious diseases. Our MVP platform is designed
to facilitate the rapid development of vaccine candidates due to its modular nature. The adjuvant and linking chemistry can
be stockpiled and ready for the rapid identification of targets of interest which can be linked for testing in a shorter timeline.
The MVP platform combined with our proprietary delivery system which allows for self-administration and shipment of materials at
room temperature makes the platform ideal for rapid response situations. We and our research partners are actively working towards
a possible lead candidate for COVID-19 while simultaneously advancing the system for rapid response, as well as the development
of more traditional vaccine candidates in infectious diseases and oncology.
Corporate Information
Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. (formerly
known as Patriot Scientific Corporation) is a Delaware corporation with its principal business office at 1537 South Novato Blvd.,
# 5, Novato, CA 94947. On August 21, 2020, we closed a Reverse Merger (as defined below) by and between Patriot Scientific Corporation
(now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and private Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc, (“Private Mosaic”). On November
30, 2020, we filed amended and restated articles of incorporation in Delaware to change of the name of the Registrant to Mosaic
ImmunoEngineering Inc., to implement a 500-for-1 reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock Split”), and to reduce the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock from 600 million to 100 million, among other items as defined in the amended and restated
articles of incorporation. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on December 2, 2020. All share numbers included herein have been
adjusted to reflect the 500-for-1 Reverse Stock Split. On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a change to our
fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31.

We do not intend to incorporate any contents from our website into this prospectus.
Recent Events
Reverse Merger
On August 19, 2020, Patriot Scientific
Corporation (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) and Private Mosaic entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Stock
Purchase Agreement”), whereby one of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Patriot Scientific Corporation merged with and into
Private Mosaic, with Private Mosaic surviving as wholly owned subsidiary of Patriot Scientific Corporation (the “Reverse
Merger”). The transaction closed on August 21, 2020 (“Closing Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
On the Closing Date, Patriot Scientific
Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Private Mosaic, representing 630,000 shares of its Class
A common stock (“Class A Stock”) and 70,000 shares of its Class B common stock (“Class B Stock”) (collectively
referred to as “Target Common Stock”). In exchange for the Target Common Stock, the holders of the Class A Stock received
630,000 shares of Patriot Scientific Corporation’s (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) Series A Convertible Voting
Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and holders of the Class B Stock received 70,000 shares of Patriot Scientific
Corporation’s (now known as Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.) Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”).
Each share of Series A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) of the
Company and possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the Common Stock of the Company, as defined in the Series
A Certificate of Designation. Each share of Series B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for the
Reverse Stock Split) of the Company, possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the Common Stock of the Company
and contains certain anti-dilution rights, as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation. On a fully diluted, as converted
basis, the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, in aggregate, own 90% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.
In addition, holders of the Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred have certain investor registration rights. At any time after 180 days following the Closing Date of the
Reverse Merger, holders of at least 75% of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred can demand that the Company file a registration
statement on Form S-1 within 60 days of the holders request. Furthermore, in the event the Company is eligible to file a registration
statement on Form S-3, the holders can request the Company file the registration at any time, and the Company will have 60 days
to comply with such request. In any event, there are no penalties if the Company is unable to comply with the holders request.
Name Change
Patriot Scientific Corporation changed
its name to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. on November 30, 2020 to align the Company’s corporate name with its new strategic
direction, upon filing its amended and restated articles of incorporation, as previously approved by the majority stockholders.
The name change did not affect any stockholder’s rights or percentage ownership interest in the Company.
Change in Fiscal Year
On December 30, 2020, the Board of
Directors approved a change to our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The change in fiscal year is effective for the Company’s
2020 fiscal year, which began June 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company will be filing a transition report
on Form 10-KT for the seven-month period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 within the time period prescribed by the SEC.
License Option Agreement
On July 1, 2020, we signed a Material Transfer,
Evaluation, and Exclusive Option Agreement (“License Option Agreement”) with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”),
granting the Company the exclusive right to license technology for a novel platform technology using immunostimulatory nanotechnology-based
therapeutics and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases in humans and for veterinary use. Under the License
Option Agreement, CWRU granted the Company the exclusive option for a period of two (2) years to negotiate and enter into a license
agreement with CWRU, provided that we meet certain diligence milestones, including but not limited to, (i) delivering a development
plan within 18 months, (ii) raising $3 million in either equity, debt, or grant funding, or a combination thereof within 18 months,
(iii), generating sufficient preclinical data to support the identification of the initial field of use to support the initial
planned clinical indication for the technology, (iv) determining manufacturing processes and cGMP requirements to manufacture the
initial product for use in toxicology studies, and (v) identifying required toxicology studies required to support Phase I clinical
trials in the initial field of use.
Under the License Option Agreement, the
Company issued CWRU 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred under the Reverse Merger, which included certain anti-dilution rights.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Series B Preferred holder will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of
the fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding of the Company, including for such purposes all other convertible securities
outstanding and reserved for issuance except stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a board approved
employee stock option plans reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company
then outstanding, until we initially raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or Common Stock, or a combination
thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, net working capital acquired
under the Reverse Merger of approximately $374,000 was applied against the Capital Threshold. As of December 31, 2020,
the remaining Capital Threshold was approximately $626,000.
Reverse Stock Split
On October 21, 2020, our Board unanimously
approved the Reverse Stock Split of one (1) share of our Common Stock for every 500 shares of our Common Stock (“1-for-500”)
and filing the Amended and Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. On October 22, 2020, the
majority stockholders executed the written consent approving the Reverse Stock Split and the filing of the related Amended and
Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. On December 2, 2020, the Company implemented a 500-for-1
Reverse Stock Split. The following chart reflects the changes in our capital structure, including the assumed conversion of
Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, following the Reverse Stock Split, and the issuance of 3,017 new shares of common
stock in lieu of fractional shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders, which for this
purpose include donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in shares
of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, dividend, distribution
or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its shares of Common Stock or interests
in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions.
These sales or other dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to
the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling our shares or interests in our shares:
|
·
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
|
block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares 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;
|
|
·
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
|
|
·
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
·
|
|
short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
|
|
·
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
·
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
·
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
·
|
|
any other method permitted by applicable law.
|
The selling stockholders may, from time
to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of our shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of
their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under
this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act, amending the selling stockholders list to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also transfer our shares in other circumstances, in which case
the transferees, pledgees or other successors will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common
shares 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 our shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or
loan or pledge the Common Stock 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 the creation of one or more derivative
securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus,
which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended
to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders
from the sale of the Common Stock offered by it will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if
any. The selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole
or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from sales of shares by the selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders may also resell
all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that it
meets the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, if available,
rather than by means of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of shares of
Common Stock covered by this prospectus, broker-dealers may receive commissions or other compensation from the selling stockholders
in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. Broker-dealers may also receive compensation from purchasers of the shares
of Common Stock for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer
may be in excess of customary commissions or in amounts to be negotiated. In connection with any underwritten offering, underwriters
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or from purchasers
of the shares for whom they act as agents. Underwriters may sell the shares of Common Stock to or through dealers, and such dealers
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the
purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Any underwriters, broker-dealers, agents or other persons acting on behalf of the selling
stockholders that participate in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of Common Stock by them and any discounts, commissions
or concessions received by any of those underwriters, broker-dealers, agents or other persons may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The aggregate amount of compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions, commissions or fees and any profit on the resale of shares by the selling stockholders that may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., rules and regulations will not exceed applicable limits.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale
of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. A selling stockholder who is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities
Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
To the extent required, the shares of our
Common Stock to be sold, the name of the selling stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names
of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set
forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that
includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities
laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or
an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders
that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the
activities of the selling stockholders and its affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this
prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates
in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in
market-making activities with respect to our Common Stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration
of the Common Stock for resale by the selling stockholders, including, without limitation, filing fees and expenses of compliance
with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, the selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts
and selling commissions, if any, and any related legal expenses incurred by it.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The prices at which the shares of Common
Stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of Common
Stock, by negotiations between the selling stockholders and buyers of our Common Stock in private transactions or as otherwise
described in “Plan of Distribution.”
DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
General
We are authorized to issue up to 105,000,000
shares of capital stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As of January 19, 2021, we had 805,803 shares
of Common Stock, 630,000 shares of Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (as described below) and 70,000 shares of Series
B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (as described below) outstanding. As of December 31,
2020, we had reserved for issuance up to 802,785 shares of Common Stock under our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”),
of which, 336,328 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were issued and outstanding under the 2020 Plan as of December
31, 2020.
The additional shares of our authorized
stock available for issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share
and on the equity ownership of the holders of our Common Stock. The ability of our Board of Directors (the “Board”)
to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the Board’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover
situation but could also be used by the Board to make a change-in-control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential
to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management. The following description is a summary of the material provisions
of our capital stock. You should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Amended and Restated Certificate”)
and amended and restated bylaws (“Amended and Restated Bylaws”), both of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits
to previous SEC filings, for additional information. The summary below is qualified by provisions of applicable law.
Common Stock
Except as provided by law or in a preferred
stock designation, holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a
vote of the stockholders, have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Amended and Restated
Certificate (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms
of any outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together
with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate (including
any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the “DGCL”). Subject to prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares or series of
preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the shares of Common Stock held by them
such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out
of funds legally available for dividend payments. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
The holders of Common Stock have no preferences
or rights of conversion, exchange, pre-emption or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions
applicable to Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs,
holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets in proportion to the shares of Common Stock held by them
that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and obligations and after distribution in full of
preferential amounts to be distributed to holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.
Preferred Stock
The following is a summary of the material
terms of our Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and Series B Convertible Voting Preferred
Stock (“Series B Preferred”). This summary is not complete. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred and the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred, each
of which has been filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 25, 2020.
Our Board is authorized to issue up to
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, in one or more series, of which, 4,300,000 shares are undesignated.
Our Board of Directors has the authority,
within the limitations and restrictions prescribed by law and without stockholder approval, to provide by resolution for the issuance
of shares of preferred stock, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights,
conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference and the number of shares constituting any series
of the designation of such series, by delivering an appropriate certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation to
the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to the DGCL. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market
price of the Common Stock, impeding or delaying a possible takeover and adversely affecting the voting and other rights of the
holders of our Common Stock.
Series A Preferred
On August 21, 2020, our Board authorized
the issuance of 630,000 shares of Series A Preferred in exchange for 630,000 shares of Series A Common Stock of Private Mosaic
in conjunction with the Reverse Merger. See “Prospectus Summary — Reverse Merger” above. Each share of Series
A Preferred has a par value of $0.00001 per share, no dividend rate, a stated value of $6.50 per share, and each share of Series
A Preferred converts into 10.194106 shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Series A Conversion Number”). In addition,
the Series A Preferred possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the Common Stock of the Company, as defined in
the Series A Certificate of Designation. Furthermore, the Series A Preferred will automatically convert into Common Stock of the
Company upon (i) the Company filing an Amended and Restated Certificate so that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock so as to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred into Common
Stock (which was filed on November 30, 2020) and (ii) the effectiveness of this registration statement on Form S-3 registering
the resale of the underlying shares.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A Preferred
shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company
to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share in cash equal to the greater of (x) the stated value of $6.50 for each
share of Series A Preferred then held by the holder or (y) the amount payable per share of Common Stock which such holder
of Series A Preferred would have received if such Holder had converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event.
Series B Preferred
On August 21, 2020, our Board authorized
the issuance of 70,000 shares of Series B Preferred, in exchange for 70,000 shares of Series B Common Stock of Private Mosaic in
conjunction with the Reverse Merger. See “Prospectus Summary — Reverse Merger” above. Each share of Series B
Preferred has a par value of $0.00001 per share, no dividend rate, a stated value of $6.50 per share, and each share of Series
B Preferred converts into 11.46837 shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Series B Conversion Number”). In addition,
the Series B Preferred possesses full voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as the Common Stock of the Company, as defined in
the Series B Certificate of Designation. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred does not have any mandatory conversion rights and
only converts upon written notice from the holder.
The Series B Preferred also includes certain
anti-dilution rights, whereby the holder of Series B Preferred will continue to maintain ownership equal to 10% of the fully diluted
shares of Common Stock outstanding by adjusting the Series B Conversion Number, including for such purposes all other convertible
securities outstanding and reserved for issuance except stock options issued and outstanding and reserved for issuance under a
Board approved employee stock option plans reserving for issuance no more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company then outstanding, until we raise at least $1 million from the sale of either preferred or Common Stock, or a combination
thereof (“Capital Threshold”). In addition, pursuant to the License Option Agreement, any net working capital acquired
under the Reverse Merger is applied against the Capital Threshold. The preliminary net working capital as of the Closing Date of
the Reverse Merger was approximately $374,000. As such, remaining Capital Threshold is approximately
$626,000 as of December 31, 2020.
In the event of any Liquidation Event,
the Holders of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets
or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share in cash equal to the greater of (x) the
stated value of $6.50 for each share of Series A Preferred then held by the holder or (y) the amount payable per share of
Common Stock which such holder of Series B Preferred would have received if such Holder had converted to Common Stock immediately
prior to the Liquidation Event.
Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law and our Amended and
Restated Certificate
Some provisions of Delaware law, our Amended
and Restated Certificate and our Amended and Restated Bylaws will contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult: acquisitions of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise or removal of our incumbent officers
and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions
could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their
best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.
These provisions, which are discussed in
more detail below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also
designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased
protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure
us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could
result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Law
The Amended and Restated Certificate expressly
states that we have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of
three years after the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions, including if, prior
to such time, the board of such corporation approved the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder. “Business combinations” include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting
in a financial benefit to the “interested stockholder.” Subject to various exceptions, an “interested stockholder”
is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s
outstanding voting stock. These restrictions generally prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or other takeover or change-in-control
attempts that are not approved by a company’s board. Although we have elected to opt out of the statute’s
provisions, we could elect to be subject to Section 203 in the future.
Exclusive Forum Selection
Our Amended and Restated Certificate provides
that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, and subject to the Court of Chancery having personal
jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:
|
·
|
any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;
|
|
·
|
any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers,
employees or agents to us or our stockholders;
|
|
·
|
any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our amended
and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or
|
|
·
|
any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
|
This exclusive forum provision would not
apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or
any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon
federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any
duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the
Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability
created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Although we believe this provision benefits
us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings,
the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. Any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring any interest in our shares of capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive
forum provision, but will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other corporations’ articles of incorporation has
been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could rule that this provision in our amended and restated
articles of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate
and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws
Provisions of our Amended and restated Certificate and our Amended
and Restated Bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management,
including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders
might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Common
Stock.
Among other things, our Amended and Restated Certificate and
Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that, at any time after the first date on which our Common Stock is listed or quoted on a national
securities exchange (the “Trigger Date”):
|
·
|
any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting
of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders, subject to the rights
of the holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to such series (prior to such time, such actions may be taken without
a meeting by written consent of holders of Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize such action at a meeting);
|
|
·
|
all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled
by the stockholders (prior to such time, vacancies may also be filled by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our
then outstanding Common Stock);
|
|
·
|
our Amended and Restated Bylaws may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our then
outstanding Common Stock (prior to such time, our bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
our then outstanding Common Stock);
|
|
·
|
special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the board of directors (prior to such time, a special meeting may also be called at the request of stockholders
holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock);
|
|
·
|
our director may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of our
then outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (prior to such time, any director
may be removed at any time, either for or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power
of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors); and
|
|

our board of directors can be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible,
serving staggered three year terms, other than directors which may be elected by holders of preferred stock, if any (prior to such
time, the directors shall consist of a single class with the initial term of office to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders
to occur following the Trigger Date). This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it could have the effect of increasing the length
of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of
stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the board of directors.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the Company, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. It further provides that expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Company as authorized thereby.
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide
the Company with the power to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents or any person serving at the Company’s
request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Registrant’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission 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 of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to the 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.
All of our directors and officers are covered
by insurance policies maintained by the Company against certain liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Item 16. Exhibits.
See the index to exhibits, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
|
(a)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933,
|
|
(b)
|
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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement,
|
|
(c)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
|
Provided, however, that paragraphs
(1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(c) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic 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, or is
contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of
a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
(4)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
|
|
(a)
|
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
|
|
(i)
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
|
|
(ii)
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
|
|
(b)
|
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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 a 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.
|
(5)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
|
(a)
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(b)
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;
|
|
(c)
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and
|
|
(d)
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by a registrant to the purchaser.
|
(6)
|
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 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.
|
(7)
|
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 forgoing 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
