THE
COMPANY
PetVivo
is a veterinary biotech and biomedical device company headquartered in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota that is primarily engaged in the
business of commercializing and licensing products in the veterinary market to treat companion animals such as dogs and horses. Most
of our technology was developed for human biomedical applications, and we intend to leverage the investments already expended in their
development to commercialize treatments for pets in a capital and time-efficient way.
Many
of the Company’s products are derived from proprietary biomaterials that simulate a body’s cellular tissue by virtue of their
reliance upon natural protein and carbohydrate compositions which incorporate such “tissue building blocks” as collagen,
elastin and heparin. Since these are naturally-occurring in the body, we believe they have an enhanced biocompatibility with living tissues
compared to synthetic biomaterials such as those based upon alpha-hydroxy polymers (PLA, PLGA and the like) and other “natural”
biomaterials that may lack the multiple proteins incorporated into our biomaterials. These proprietary protein-based biomaterials appear
to mimic the body’s tissue thus allowing integration and tissue repair in long-term implantation in certain applications.
Our
initial product, Kush®, which we rebranded as Spryng™ in the second quarter of our fiscal 2022, is a veterinary
device designed to help reinforce articular cartilage tissue for the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis and other joint related
afflictions in companion animals. Spryng™ uses an intra-articular injection of non-dissolving, cartilage like patented particles
that are slippery, wet-permeable, durable and resilient to enhance the force cushioning function of the synovial fluid. The particles
mimic natural cartilage in composition, structure and hydration. Multiple joints can be treated simultaneously. Our particles are comprised
of collagen, elastin and heparin, the same components found in natural cartilage. These particles show an effectiveness to augment the
cartilage and enhance the functionality of the joint (e.g. provide cushion or shock-absorbing features to the joint and to provide joint
lubricity).
Osteoarthritis,
a common inflammatory joint disease in both dogs and horses, is a chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disease that is caused by
a loss of synovial fluid and/or the deterioration of joint cartilage. Osteoarthritis affects approximately 14 million dogs and 1 million
horses in the $11 billion companion animal veterinary care and product sales market.
Despite
the market size, veterinary clinics and hospitals have very few treatments and/or drugs for use in treating osteoarthritis in dogs, horses
and other pets. As there is no cure for osteoarthritis, current solutions treat symptoms, but do not manage the cause. The current treatment
for osteoarthritis in dogs generally consists of the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or “NSAIDs”) which are
approved to alleviate pain and inflammation but present the potential for side effects relating to gastrointestinal, kidney and liver
damage and do not halt or slow joint degeneration. The Company’s treatment using Spryng™, to our knowledge, has not elicited
any adverse side effects in dogs. Remarkably, Spryng™-treated dogs have shown an increase in activity even after they no longer
are receiving pain medication. Other treatments for osteoarthritis include steroid and/or hyaluronic acid injections, which are used
for treating pain, inflammation and/or joint lubrication, but can be slow acting and/or short lasting.
We
believe Spryng™ is an optimal solution to safely improve joint function in animals for several reasons:
| |
● |
Spryng™
addresses the underlying problem which relate to bones being too close and a lack of synovial fluid. Spryng™ provides a biocompatible
lubricious cushion to the joint, which establishes a barrier between the bones, thereby protecting the remaining cartilage and bone. |
| |
● |
Spryng™
is easily administered with the standard intra-articular injection technique. Multiple joints can be treated simultaneously. |
| |
● |
Case
studies indicate many canines have long-lasting multi-month improvement in lameness after having been treated with Spryng™. |
| |
● |
After
receiving a Spryng™ injection, many canines are able to discontinue the use of NSAID’s, eliminating the risk of negative
side effects. |
| |
● |
Spryng™
is an effective and economical solution for treating osteoarthritis. A single injection of Spryng™ is approximately $600 to
$900 per joint and typically lasts for at least 12 months. |
Historically,
drug sales represent up to 30% of revenues at a typical veterinary practice (Veterinary Practice News). Revenues and margins at veterinary
practices are being eroded because online, big-box and traditional pharmacies have recently started filling veterinary prescriptions.
Veterinary practices are looking for ways to replace lost prescription revenues with safe and effective products. Spryng™ is veterinarian-administered
and should expand practice revenues and margins. We believe that the increased revenues and margins provided by Spryng™ will accelerate
its adoption rate and propel it forward as the standard of care for canine and equine lameness related to or due to synovial joint issues.
Spryng™
is classified as an animal device under the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) rules and pre-market approval
is not required by the FDA. Spryng™ completed a safety and efficacy study in rabbits in 2007. Since that time, more than 100 horses
and dogs have been successfully treated with Spryng™. We entered into a clinical trial services agreement with Colorado State University
on November 5, 2020. We anticipate this study will be a 12-month study that will be primarily used to expand our distribution outlets
since the large international and national distributors generally require a third-party university study prior to including a product
in their catalog of products. We expect the clinical study to be completed in fiscal 2024.
We
commenced sales Spryng™ in Q2 of fiscal 2022 and plan to increase our commercialization efforts of Spryng™ and other products
developed by us in the United States through the use of in-house marketing personnel who will oversee the efforts of independent distributors
we engage on a regional or national basis. We plan to support our distributors with the use of social media and other methods to educate
and inform key opinion leaders and decision makers at the top distributors and high prescriber veterinarians for companion animals of
the availability and benefits of Spryng™.
We
have established an ISO 7 certified clean room manufacturing facility located in our Minneapolis facility using a patented and scalable
self-assembly production process, which reduces the infrastructure requirements and manufacturing risks to deliver a consistent, high-quality
product while being responsive to volume requirements. While we are not currently manufacturing commercial quantities, we have built
out an ISO 7 certified facility that will be able to handle projected production in units for at least the next five years.
In
addition to Spryng™, we have engaged a strategic partner, Emerald Organic Products, Inc. (“Emerald”), through an exclusive
license agreement, dated July 31, 2019, to allow Emerald to bring our mucoadhesive drug delivery technology to the human nutraceutical
market for the delivery of various active nutraceuticals including cannabidiol (“CBD”), caffeine, and citicoline. Since such
products tout up to a 10-times increase in bioavailability of active agents, we believe that we have an advantage over other delivery
methods in the CBD and nutritional supplement markets. We have agreed that the license to Emerald will include use of PetVivo’s
proprietary technology in the formulation, manufacture and sale of Emerald’s nutritional supplements including its hemp-based CBD
wellness products.
We
also have a pipeline which includes 17 therapeutic devices for both veterinary and human clinical applications. Some such devices may
be regulated by the FDA or other equivalent regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Center for Veterinary Medicine (“CVM”).
We anticipate growing our product pipeline through the acquisition or in-licensing of additional proprietary products from human medical
device companies specifically for use in pets. In addition to commercializing our own products in strategic market sectors and in view
of the Company’s vast proprietary product pipeline, the Company may establish strategic out-licensing partnerships to provide secondary
revenues.
Risks
Related to Our Business
Our
business, and our ability to execute our business strategy, is subject to a number of risks as more fully described in the section titled
“Risk Factors.” These risks include, among others, the following:
| |
● |
We
have a limited operating history, have not yet generated any material revenues, expect to continue to incur significant research
and development and other expenses, and may never become profitable. |
| |
● |
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |
| |
● |
We
have never generated any material revenue from operations and may need to raise additional capital to achieve our goals. |
| |
● |
We
are substantially dependent on the success of our lead product, Spryng™, and cannot be certain that this product will be successfully
commercialized by us. |
| |
● |
We
have a limited marketing and sales organization, and if our current marketing and sales personnel are insufficient or inadequate,
we may not be able to sell our products in the quantities needed to become commercially successful. |
| |
● |
Our
business will depend significantly on the sufficiency and effectiveness of our marketing and product promotional programs and incentives. |
| |
● |
Our
lead product, Spryng™, will face significant competition in our industry, and our failure to compete effectively may prevent
us from achieving any significant market penetration. |
Corporate
History and Structure
We
were incorporated as Pharmascan Corp. in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009. On September 21, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment
to our Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to Technologies Scan Corp. On April 1, 2014, we filed a Certificate of Amendment
to our Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to PetVivo Holdings, Inc. On March 11, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized
the execution of a securities exchange agreement dated March 11, 2014 (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”) with PetVivo
Inc., a Minnesota corporation. PetVivo was founded in 2013 by John Lai and John Dolan and engaged in the business of acquiring, in-licensing
and adapting human biomedical technology and products for commercial sale in the veterinary market.
In
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Securities Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of
stock of PetVivo and it became our wholly-owned subsidiary. John Lai and John Dolan were controlling shareholders of PetVivo Holdings,
Inc at the time of the securities exchange. In August of 2013, in exchange for 326,250 shares of the Company’s common stock, PetVivo
entered into an exclusive worldwide license for the commercialization of a patented biomaterials technology for the veterinary treatment
of animals having orthopedic joint afflictions (“Technology”). The Technology was developed by Gel-Del Technologies Inc.,
a Minnesota corporation (“Gel-Del”). Gel-Del was a biomaterials development and manufacturing company focused on human and
companion animal applications of its biomaterials technology; our initial product, Spryng™, is derived from the licensed Technology.
Thereafter,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (which was incorporated in Minnesota expressly for this transaction) completed a triangular merger
(the “Merger”) with Gel-Del. Pursuant to the Merger, Gel-Del was the surviving entity and concurrently became our wholly-owned
subsidiary, resulting in our obtaining full ownership of Gel-Del. Our primary reason to effect the Merger was to obtain 100% ownership
and control of Gel-Del and its patented bioscience technology, including ownership of Cosmeta, a subsidiary of Gel-Del. The effective
date for the Merger was April 10, 2017 when the Merger was filed officially with the Secretary of State of Minnesota.
Our
principal executive office is located at 5251 Edina Industrial Blvd., Minneapolis, MN 55439 and our telephone number is (952) 405-6216.
Our website is www.petvivo.com. Information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider the
risk factors set forth below, the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement, any
related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you and the information under the caption “Risk Factors”
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”) and quarterly reports on Form
10-Q that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
These
risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and affect the value of our securities. Additional
risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition
and could result in a complete loss of your investment. You could lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see “Where
You Can Find More Information.”
Risks
Related to Our Securities and the Offering
Future
sales or other dilution of our equity could depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales
of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights or convertible debt securities, or any combination of the foregoing, in the public
market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could negatively impact the price of our common stock.
In
addition, the issuance of additional shares of our common stock, securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, other
equity-linked securities, including preferred stock, warrants or rights or any combination of these securities pursuant to this prospectus
will dilute the ownership interest of our common shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability
to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
We
may need to seek additional capital. If this additional financing is obtained through the issuance of equity securities, debt securities
convertible into equity or options, warrants or rights to acquire equity securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant
dilution upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of such securities.
Our
management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive from the sale our securities pursuant to this prospectus
and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.
Our
management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from any offerings under this prospectus, and you will be relying on the
judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Except as described in any prospectus supplement or in any related
free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you, the net proceeds received by us from our sale of the securities
described in this prospectus will be added to our general funds and will be used for general corporate purposes. Our management might
not apply the net proceeds from offerings of our securities in ways that increase the value of your investment and might not be able
to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of such net proceeds. You may not have the opportunity to influence our decisions
on how to use such proceeds.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Except
as may be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided
to you, we intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate
purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of debt, repurchases of common stock, capital expenditures, the financing
of possible acquisitions or business expansions, increasing our working capital and the financing of ongoing operating expenses and overhead.

reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role, and responsibilities. From April 1, 2020, through September 8, 2021, Mr.
Lai received a base salary of $100,000 which was increased to $275,000, effective as of September 1, 2022. Mr. Folkes joined the Company
on April 14, 2021, and his initial salary was $190,000 per year, which was increased to $240,000 per year effective as of September 1,
2022. Mr. Meyer joined the Company, as its Chief Operating Officer, on September 1, 2021 and his base salary is $220,000 per year.
Bonuses
In
November 2021, the Company established a bonus plan for its executives and employees, with a performance target based on total revenues.
If the Company achieved the performance target, each employee would receive a bonus equal to a certain percentage of his or her salary.
In December 2021, the Company realized that the performance target would not be achieved because the Company’s ability to
sell its lead product, Spryng™, was limited because it did not have canine and equine studies which distributors and other vendors
needed to review before purchasing the Company’s products. The Compensation Committee determined that the performance target was
unrealistic and not an appropriate target for the Company at this time. The Compensation Committee believed that the executives and other
employees had done exceptional work in transitioning the Company from being a start-up company to a revenue-producing company. As such,
the Compensation Committee awarded discretionary bonuses to the executives and other employees. The Compensation Committee awarded discretionary
bonuses to Mr. Lai, Mr. Folkes, and Mr. Meyers for their services in fiscal 2022 in the amounts of $20,000, $100,000, and $30,000, respectively.
The Company will not make these bonus payments to the Named Executive Officers until its files its 10-K for its fiscal year ended March
31, 2022.
Equity
Compensation
Our
Compensation Committee administers our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and approves the amount of,
and terms applicable to, grants of stock options, restricted stock units, and other types of equity awards to employees, including the
Named Executive Officers. The Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU’s), and stock bonus awards (all such types of awards,
collectively, “equity awards”), although incentive stock options may only be granted to employees.
On
April 14, 2021, the Company granted 54,000 RSU’s to Mr. Folkes pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. These RSU’s
vest over a three year period, with 10,000 RSU’s vesting on January 1, 2022, 10,000 vesting on January 1, 2023, and 14,000 vesting
on January 1, 2024. Furthermore, these RSU grants are subject to Mr. Folkes remaining employed at the Company.
On
September 9, 2021, the Compensation Committee granted RSU’s to our Named Executive Officers for their exceptional performance in
assisting the Company in closing its public offering in which it raised $11.2 million in gross proceeds and listed its common stock and
warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Named Executive Officers received the following RSU grants (“November 2021 RSU Grants”):
Mr. Lai – 150,000 RSU’s, Mr. Folkes – 54,000 RSU’s, and Mr. Meyer – 65,000 RSU’s. These RSU’s
vest in three installments, with 1/3 vesting on March 31, 2022, 1/3 vesting on March 31, 2023 and 1/3 vesting on March 31, 2024, based
upon continued employment with the Company.
For
the grant date fair values of the options and RSU’s, please see the Summary Compensation Table above.

offer health insurance to our Named Executive Officers on the same basis that these benefits are offered to our other eligible employees.

Executive
Employment Agreements
Prior
Employment Agreements
The
Company entered into an employment agreement (“2019 Agreement”) with John Lai on October 1, 2019, to serve as the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer for a term of 3 years. Mr. Lai’s annual base salary was a minimum of $100,000 or such higher amount, as
determined by the Board. Mr. Lai could be terminated for Cause or without cause upon ten (10) days advance written notice. Mr. Lai was
eligible to receive discretionary bonuses, as determined by the Board, and eligible for all employee benefits provided to executives
of similar tenure. His 2019 Agreement contained customary confidentiality and non-competition provisions which survived for a period
of one year after his employment with the Company was terminated. As discussed below, Mr. Lai’s 2019 Agreement was replaced with
a new employment agreement on November 10, 2021.
The
Company entered into an employment agreement (“April 2021 Agreement”) with Robert Folkes on April 14, 2021, to serve as the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The employment
agreement was for a term of approximately two years and nine months and terminated on January 31, 2024. Mr. Folkes’ annual base
salary was $190,000 per year and he was eligible to receive a bonus of up to 50% of his base salary
based upon the achievement of performance goals developed by the Compensation Committee. He could be terminated for cause or without
cause upon ten (10) days advance written notice. His employment agreement contained customary confidentiality
and non-competition provisions which survived for a period of one year after his employment with the Company was terminated. As discussed
below, Mr. Folkes April 2021 Agreement was replaced with a new employment agreement on November 10, 2021
Current
Employment Agreements
Effective
as of November 10, 2021, the Company entered into new employment agreements with Mr. Lai, which replaced his 2019 Agreement, and Mr.
Folkes which replaced his April 2021 Agreement. In addition, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Randall Meyer to
serve as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer effective as of November 10, 2021. With the exception of salary and severance payments,
the employment agreements are substantially similar.
All
of these employment agreements expire on September 30, 2024. Messrs. Lai, Folkes, and Meyer each have annual base salaries of $275,000,
$240,000 and $220,000, respectively, subject to potential increase or decrease from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors. The employment agreements also provide for a target annual bonus as determined by the Compensation Committee.
In addition to an annual salary and bonus, the employment agreements provide that the executive officers are entitled to participate
in any equity and/or long-term compensation programs established by the Company for senior executive officers and all of the Company’s
retirement, group life, health, and disability insurance plans and any other employee benefit plans.
The
employment agreements provide for termination of the executive officers at any time by the Company for Cause (as defined in the employment
agreements) or without Cause. If an executive officer is terminated for Cause, he will receive his salary through the termination date
and reimbursement of any unpaid expenses and accrued but unused vacation/paid time off (“Accrued Obligations”). If the executive
officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, subject to the execution of a release of any and all claims or
potential claims against the Company, the executive officer will be entitled to receive a severance payment, his accrued but unpaid bonus,
if any, and any Accrued Obligations owed through the termination date, in a lump sum payment within 10 days after the termination date.
Mr. Folkes will receive a severance payment equal to 6 months of his base salary. Mr. Lai and Mr. Meyer will each receive a severance
payment equal to 1 month’s base salary. If the executive’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability,
he or his estate will receive his compensation through the date of termination, his accrued and unpaid bonus, if any, and Accrued Obligations
through the date of termination.
Each
executive officer is required to agree to non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality obligations. The confidentiality covenants
are perpetual, while the non-compete and non-solicitation covenants apply during the term of the new employment agreements and for 12
months following the executive officer’s termination.
Potential
Payments on Change in Control or Termination without Cause under November RSU Grants
The
employment agreements for Mr. Lai, Mr. Folkes, and Mr. Meyer do not contain any provisions providing for the acceleration of any salary
or bonus payments if there is a change in control. The RSU Grants awarded to Mr. Lai, Mr. Folkes, and Mr. Meyer on September 9, 2021,
and to Mr. Folkes on April 14, 2021 pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan contain provisions that provide for accelerated vesting of
the RSU’s if there is a change of control of the Company (as such term is defined in the Equity Incentive Plan). In addition, if
Mr. Lai, Mr. Folkes, or Mr. Meyer is terminated without cause, any RSU’s that would have vested on or before the first anniversary
of such termination had the executive remained employed shall be accelerated and deemed to have vested as of the termination date. Any
time-based Restricted Shares that have not vested as described above may not be transferred and will be forfeited on the date the Named
Executive Officer’s employment with the Company terminates.
Director
Compensation
Directors
who are not employees of the Company are paid director’s fees, in cash, stock, or a combination thereof. In fiscal 2022, we did
not pay any cash compensation to our non-employee directors. All compensation was paid with stock and RSU’s, which ½ of
the compensation paid with stock on October 1, 2021, the date of grant, and the remaining RSU’s vesting six months from the date

to which you should refer and both of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Voting,
Dividend, and Other Rights. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to the
shareholders for a vote. Holders of shares of common stock have no cumulative voting, pre-emptive, subscription, or conversion rights.
All shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this registration statement will be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable.
Our board of directors determines if and when distributions may be paid out of legally available funds to the holders. To date, we have
not declared any dividends with respect to our common stock. Our declaration of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our board
of directors’ determination as to whether, in light of our earnings, financial position, cash requirements and other relevant factors
existing at the time, it appears advisable to do so. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable
future.
Rights
Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation, subject to the right of any holders of the preferred stock to receive preferential distributions,
each outstanding share of common stock may participate pro rata in the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for,
all our known debts and liabilities.

of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the

Exercise
of Warrants
Each
warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price
that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified
time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration
date, unexercised warrants will become void.
Holders
of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with
specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable
prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the

of the exercise price for warrants.

DESCRIPTION
OF RIGHTS
General
We
may issue rights to purchase our common stock or preferred stock, in one or more series. Rights may be issued independently or together
with any other offered security and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the subscription rights. In
connection with any rights offering to our stockholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting arrangement with one or more underwriters
pursuant to which such underwriters will purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed after such rights offering. In connection
with a rights offering to our stockholders, we will distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our
stockholders on the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering. The applicable prospectus supplement or free
writing prospectus will describe the following terms of rights in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:
| |
● |
the
title of such rights; |
| |
● |
the
securities for which such rights are exercisable; |
| |
● |
the
exercise price for such rights; |
| |
● |
the
date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
| |
● |
the
number of such rights issued to each security holder; |
| |
● |
the
extent to which such rights are transferable; |
| |
● |
if
applicable, a discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the issuance or exercise of
such rights; |
| |
● |
the
date on which the right to exercise such rights shall commence, and the date on which such rights shall expire (subject to any extension); |
| |
● |
the
conditions to completion of the rights offering; |
| |

any
provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the rights; |

the
extent to which such rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; |
| |
● |
if
applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or other purchase arrangement that we may enter into in connection with
the rights offering; and |
| |
● |
any
other terms of such rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of such rights. |
Each
right will entitle the holder thereof the right to purchase for cash such amount of shares of common stock or preferred stock, or any
combination thereof, at such exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus
supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration
date for such rights set forth in the prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights
will become void. Rights may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Upon receipt
of payment and the proper completion and due execution of the rights certificate at the office of the rights agent, if any, or any other
office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the shares of common stock and/or preferred stock
purchasable upon such exercise. We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to persons other than stockholders,
to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements,
as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Rights
Agent
The
rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
The
following description, together with the additional information that we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the
material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply
generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more
detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms
described below.
We
will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series
of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries
of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of
the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus
supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses
and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.
General
As
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue, in one more series, units consisting of common stock, preferred stock,
debt securities and/or warrants or rights for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in any combination.

traded; |
| |
● |

Issuance
in Series
We
may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we may determine.
Enforceability
of Rights by Holders of Units
Each
unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency
or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit
agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty
or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the
consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any
security included in the unit.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
securities covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| |
● |
through
agents; |
| |
● |
to
or through underwriters; |
| |
● |
to
or through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal); |
| |
● |
in
“at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or
into an existing trading market, on an exchange, or otherwise; |
| |
● |
directly
to purchasers, through a specific bidding or auction process or otherwise; or |
| |
● |
through
a combination of any such methods of sale. |
Agents,
underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form
of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us, from the purchasers of the securities or from both us and the purchasers.
Any underwriters, dealers, agents or other investors participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters,”
as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and compensation and profits received by them on sale of the securities may be deemed
to be underwriting commissions, as that term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act.
Each
time securities are offered by this prospectus, the prospectus supplement, if required, will set forth:
| |
● |
the
name of any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities; |
| |
● |
the
terms of the offering; |
| |
● |
any
discounts concessions or commissions and other items constituting compensation received by the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents; |
| |
● |
any
over-allotment option under which any underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; and |
| |
● |
any
initial public offering price. |
The
securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating
to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The distribution of securities may be affected from time to time in one or more
transactions, by means of one or more of the following transactions, which may include cross or block trades:
| |
● |
transactions
on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded; |
| |
● |
in
the over-the-counter market; |
| |
● |
in
negotiated transactions; |
| |
● |
under
delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments; or |
| |
● |
a
combination of such methods of sale. |
If
underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to
time in one or more transactions. Our securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one
or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in
the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for
the sale is reached. This prospectus and the prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the shares of our securities.
If
5% or more of the net proceeds of any offering of our securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating
in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule
5121.
To
comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities offered by this prospectus will be offered and sold
in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
Agents,
underwriters and dealers may be entitled to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities incurred under
the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The prospectus
supplement will describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers,
or their respective affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of
business. We will describe in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter the nature of any such relationship.
Certain
persons participating in the offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty
bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude
of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information
under the heading “Underwriting” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
LEGAL
MATTERS
Unless
otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters in connection with the offering and the validity of
the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, will be passed upon by Fox Rothschild LLP, Minneapolis, MN.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers. |
Nevada
Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee
or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein.
NRS
78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may 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, except an action by or in
the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of 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 by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138;
or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS
Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses,
including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense
or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim,
issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there
from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court
in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
NRS
Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually
liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court
as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
Our
articles of incorporation, as amended and bylaws, as amended, provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and
agents to the full extent permitted by NRS, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under such
law.
These
indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers, directors and other corporate agents
for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
We
have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was
serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business
against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these capacities, or arising out of the person’s
fulfilling one of these capacities, and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person against the
claim under the provisions of the NRS. We currently maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our directors and
officers.

Exhibits
and Financial Schedule |
See
the Exhibit Index attached to this registration statement and incorporated herein by reference.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
| |
(1) |

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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

dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation

amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at the 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: |
(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 is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance
on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter,
such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such effective date.
| (5) | That,
for the purpose of determining liability of a Registrant under the Securities Act to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
The
undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold
to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
(ii)
any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
| (6) | The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: |
(i)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
effective.
(ii)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
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.
The
Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 4, 2022.
