About This Prospectus Supplement

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate to a registration statement (No. 333-219202) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, in one or more offerings sell any combination of common stock, preferred stock, warrants or units, such combination not to exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate.

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus provide specific information about the offering by us of our securities under the shelf registration statement. This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of this offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus dated March 28, 2018, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference that was filed with the SEC before the date of this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date—for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus—the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

 

Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this prospectus supplement to “PolarityTE,” “the Company,” “our company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar references mean collectively PolarityTE, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated herein and therein by reference include trademarks, service marks and trade names owned by us or other companies. All trademarks, service marks and trade names included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus are the property of their respective owners.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement, along with our consolidated financial statements and notes to those consolidated financial statements and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision.

 

Overview

 

We are a commercial-stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering and material sciences. We believe that our PolarityTE platform technology is a new approach to pragmatic and functional tissue regeneration that has the potential to address many of the challenges currently facing the regenerative medicine and cell therapy markets to date. Recognizing the natural complexity of human tissue, our core “TE” platform begins with a small piece of the patient’s own, or autologous, healthy tissue, rather than artificially manipulated individual cells. From this small piece of healthy autologous tissue, we create an easily deployable, dynamic and self-propagating product, which is designed to enhance and stimulate the patient’s own cells to regenerate the target tissues. Rather than manufacturing with synthetic and foreign materials within artificially engineered environments, we believe our proprietary method promotes and accelerates the patient’s tissues to undergo a form of effective regenerative healing, and uses the patient’s own body to support the regenerative process to create the same tissue from which they were derived.

 

We believe our core “TE” platform has applications across many different indications, including, but not limited to, the regrowth of skin, bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels and neural elements as well as solid and hollow organ composite tissue systems. Our first product, SkinTE™, is registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) pursuant to the regulatory pathway for human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”) regulated solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (“361 HCT/Ps”), which permits qualifying products to be marketed without first obtaining FDA marketing authorization or approval, and is commercially available for the repair, reconstruction, replacement and regeneration of skin (i.e., homologous uses) for patients who have suffered from wounds, burns or injuries that require skin coverage over both small and large areas of their body.

 

To date, SkinTE has been used in a limited number of patients suffering from replacement of prior skin grafts, acute surgical reconstruction, acute wound treatment, chronic wound treatment, acute burn treatment, post-burn reconstruction, scar and contracture revision, keloid and hypertrophic scar revision, subacute burn and wound reconstruction, coverage and/or replacement of skin substitutes, failed skin graft replacement, failed flaps coverage and soft tissue coverage in previously infected defects. The results we have observed from the ongoing early stages of the human clinical application of SkinTE continue to be correlative with our preclinical observations.

 

Recent Developments

 

On February 6, 2018, 15,756 Series B Preferred Shares were converted into 262,606 shares of common stock. 

 

On March 6, 2018, we entered into separate exchange agreements with holders of 100% of our outstanding Series F Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock issued in connection with the Series F Preferred Stock (such warrants and Series F Preferred Stock collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities”) to exchange the Exchange Securities and unpaid dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock, for common stock (the “Exchange”).

 

The Exchange resulted in the following issuances: (A) all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock were exchanged into 972,067 shares of restricted common stock at an effective conversion price of $18.26 per share of common stock (the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 26, 2018); (B) the right to receive 6% dividends underlying Series F Preferred Stock was terminated and in exchange 31,324 shares of restricted common stock were issued; and (C) 322,727 warrants to purchase common stock were exchanged for 151,872 shares of restricted common stock.

 

 

S-1

 

 

 

As part of the Exchange, the holders relinquished any and all rights related to the Exchange Securities, the respective governing and other related agreements and certificates of designation, including any related dividends, adjustment of conversion or exercise prices and repayment options. The registration rights agreement with the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock was terminated and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock waived the Company’s obligation to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series F Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the warrants, and waived any damages, penalties and defaults related to the Company failing to file or have declared effective a registration statement covering those shares.

 

On March 6, 2018, we received conversion notices from holders of 100% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock and issued an aggregate of 7,949,252 shares of common stock to such holders (the “Conversions”).

 

The shares of Series E Preferred Stock were held by Dr. Denver Lough, our Chief Executive Officer. On March 6, 2018, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Dr. Denver Lough, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of 7,050,000 shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock within six months and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible following its filing. Any sales of shares under the registration statement are subject to certain limitations as specified with more particularity in the registration rights agreement. In connection with the Exchange, certain of the holders of Exchange Securities granted Dr. Lough an irrevocable proxy to vote an aggregate of 797,296 shares of common stock held by such holders at any vote of our stockholders. Following the Exchange, Dr. Lough is entitled to vote a total of 7,847,296 shares of common stock (inclusive of all shares which he beneficially owns and holds as of the date of this prospectus), plus any shares he acquires pursuant to the exercise of vested options, on any matter for which a vote of our stockholders is sought or required. In connection with this offering, Dr. Lough entered into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters that prevents him from selling any shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of the underwriting agreement for this offering.

 

On March 7, 2018, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware terminating our Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F Preferred Stock and thereafter no shares of our preferred stock remained so designated.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below and discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds of this offering.

 

We have not designated the amount of net proceeds we will receive from this offering for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of these net proceeds. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for the Company.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the stock you purchase.

 

The public offering price of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Therefore, if you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate substantial dilution of $           per share, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of January 31, 2018, after giving effect to the Exchange, the Conversion and this offering, and the public offering price. If outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, you will experience additional dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see “Dilution.”

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

 

To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock, preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

 

Our stock price is likely to be volatile and the market price of our common stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.

 

You should consider an investment in our common stock as risky and invest only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above the public offering price due to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock arising from changes in our operating performance or prospects. In addition, the stock market has recently experienced significant volatility, particularly with respect to life sciences company stocks. The volatility of life sciences company stocks often does not relate to the operating performance of the companies represented by the stock. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decrease below the price paid in this offering include:

 

● our ability to develop and commercialize our lead product candidate, SkinTE;

 

S-4

 

 

● results and timing of our clinical trials;

 

● failure or discontinuation of any of our development programs;

 

● issues in manufacturing our product candidates or future approved products;

 

● issues in designing or constructing our commercial manufacturing facilities;

 

● regulatory developments or enforcement in the United States and foreign countries with respect to our product candidates or our competitors’ products;

 

● competition from existing products or new products that may emerge;

 

● developments or disputes concerning patents or other proprietary rights;

 

● introduction of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors;

 

● announcements by us, our collaborators or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;

 

● changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if any cover our common stock;

 

● fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

 

● public concern over our product candidates or any future approved products;

 

● threatened or actual litigation;

 

● future or anticipated sales of our common stock;

 

● share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;

 

● additions or departures of key personnel;

 

● changes in the structure of health care payment systems in the United States or overseas;

 

● failure of any of our product candidates to achieve commercial success;

 

● economic and other external factors or other disasters or crises;

 

● period-to-period fluctuations in our financial condition and results of operations;

 

● general market conditions and market conditions for biopharmaceutical stocks; and

 

● overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets.

 

In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and divert the time and attention of our management, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Because we do not expect to declare cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely on appreciation of the value of our common stock for any return on their investment.

 

While we have in the past declared and paid cash dividends on our capital stock, we currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not expect to declare or pay any additional cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our common stock, if any, will provide a return to investors in this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $            million, or approximately $            million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase            additional shares of common stock, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs payable by us.

DILUTION

 

Purchasers of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of common stock. Our net tangible book value as of January 31, 2018 was approximately $(0.51) per share of our common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by 7,094,544 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2018.

 

After giving effect to the Exchange and the Conversions, our pro forma net tangible book value as of January 31, 2018 would have been approximately $11.9 million, or approximately $0.72 per share of common stock, based on 16,457,664 shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma basis.

 

After giving effect to (i) the Exchange and the Conversions and (ii) the sale by us of           shares of common stock in this offering at a public offering price of $          per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of January 31, 2018 would have been approximately $           million, or approximately $             per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $            per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $           per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

Public offering price per share of common stock      $

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase             additional shares of common stock at the public offering price, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering and after giving effect to the Exchange and the Conversions would be $          per share, representing an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $            per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $            per share to the investors in this offering.

 

The information above does not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options having a per share exercise price less than the public offering price per share in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

The information above is based on 7,094,544 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2018, and excludes:

 

  4,804,069 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, with a weighted average exercise price of $10.95 per share; and
     
  2,812,256 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans.

UNDERWRITING

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, dated          , 2018, between us and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., 499 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, as representative of the underwriters named below (the “Representative”) and the sole book-running manager of this offering, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters has agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us, the shares of common stock shown opposite its name below:

 

Underwriter   Number of Shares
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.    
Total    

 

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent such as the receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions and approval of certain legal matters by their counsel. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters will purchase all of the shares of common stock if any of them are purchased. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and certain of their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

The underwriters are offering the shares of common stock subject to their acceptance of the shares of common stock from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of shares from us at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, less underwriting discounts and commissions. If the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment as indicated in the table above.

 

Commission and Expenses

 

The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers, which may include the underwriters, at that price less a concession not in excess of $           per share of common stock. The underwriters may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession not in excess of $            per share of common stock to certain brokers and dealers. After the offering, the Representative may change the offering price and other selling terms.

 

The following table shows the public offering price, the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay the underwriters and the proceeds, before expenses, to us in connection with this offering. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate total offering expenses payable by us, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $800,000. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters’ up to $72,500 for their FINRA counsel fees and other expenses related to the offering. We granted the Representative the right to participate in future financings by the Company (the “Right”) and have paid it a one-time fee of $177,500 in connection with its waiver of the Right in connection with a prior transaction. The foregoing payments are included in the total offering expenses. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, these payments to the Representative and the Right are deemed underwriting compensation for this offering.

 

Listing

 

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “COOL.”

 

No Sales of Similar Securities

 

We, our officers and our directors have agreed, subject to certain specified exceptions, not to directly or indirectly, for a period of 90 days (180 days, in the case of Dr. Denver Lough, our Chief Executive Officer) after the date of the underwriting agreement:

 

  sell, offer to sell, contract to sell or lend, effect any short sale or establish or increase a Put Equivalent Position (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or liquidate or decrease any Call Equivalent Position (as defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act), pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest in, or in any other way transfer or dispose of, any common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock,
     
  make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to the registration of securities, or the filing of any registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) in connection therewith, under the Securities Act,
     
  enter into any swap, hedge or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of common stock, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock, or
     
  publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

In addition, we and each such person agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, we or such other person will not, during the restricted period, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock.

 

S-14

 

 

The restrictions in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply in certain circumstances, including:

 

  as a bona fide gift or gifts; or
     
  to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such person or the immediate family of such person (meaning any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or
     
  pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; or
     
  by will or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or immediate family of such person upon the death of such person.

 

The Representative may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the 90-day (or 180-day, in the case of Dr. Denver Lough, our Chief Executive Officer) period release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

The underwriters may make a market in the common stock as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so, and the underwriters may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice in their sole discretion. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the common stock, that you will be able to sell any of the common stock held by you at a particular time or that the prices that you receive when you sell will be favorable.

 

The underwriters have advised us that they, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales.

 

“Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in this offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock or purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares.

 

“Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional shares of our common stock. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

 

A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of shares of common stock on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of shares of common stock on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the common stock originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.

 

Neither we, nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. The underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, may end any of these activities at any time.

 

S-15

 

 

Passive Market Making

 

The underwriters may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares of our common stock in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriters are not required to engage in passive market making and, if commenced, may end passive market making activities at any time.

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available by e-mail or on the web sites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters, selling group members (if any) or their affiliates. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of shares of common stock for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriters’ web sites and any information contained in any other web site maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus supplement, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Other Activities and Relationships

 

The underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in a wide range of activities for their own accounts and the accounts of customers, which may include, among other things, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, merchant banking, equity and fixed income sales, trading and research, derivatives, foreign exchange, futures, asset management, custody, clearance and securities lending. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

 

In addition, in the ordinary course of its business, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may, directly or indirectly, hold long or short positions, trade and otherwise conduct such activities in or with respect to debt or equity securities and/or bank debt of, and/or derivative products. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments.

ABOUT POLARITYTE, INC.

 

Overview

 

PolarityTE™ is a commercial-stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering and material sciences. We believe that our PolarityTE platform technology is a new approach to pragmatic and functional tissue regeneration that has the potential to address many of the challenges currently facing the regenerative medicine and cell therapy markets to date. Recognizing the natural complexity of human tissue, our core “TE” platform begins with a small piece of the patient’s own, or autologous, healthy tissue, rather than artificially manipulated individual cells. From this small piece of healthy autologous tissue, we create an easily deployable, dynamic and self-propagating product, which is designed to enhance and stimulate the patient’s own cells to regenerate the target tissues. Rather than manufacturing with synthetic and foreign materials within artificially engineered environments, we believe our proprietary method promotes and accelerates the patient’s tissues to undergo a form of effective regenerative healing, and uses the patient’s own body to support the regenerative process to create the same tissue from which they were derived.

 

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology and life sciences company focused on the advancement of self-complexing intelligent regenerative materials. We believe our core “TE” platform has applications across many different indications, including, but not limited to, the regrowth of skin, bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels and neural elements as well as solid and hollow organ composite tissue systems. Our first product, SkinTE™, is registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) pursuant to the regulatory pathway for human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) regulated solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (“361 HCT/Ps”), which permits qualifying products to be marketed without first obtaining FDA marketing authorization or approval, and is commercially available for the repair, reconstruction, replacement and regeneration of skin (i.e., homologous uses) for patients who have suffered from wounds, burns or injuries that require skin coverage over both small and large areas of their body.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including and for general working capital purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses and products that are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus.

 

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

 

General

 

We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 26, 2018, we have 16,457,664 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds. Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

 

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time in one or more series. As of March 26, 2018, we have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Preferred stock is available for possible future financings or acquisitions and for general corporate purposes without further authorization of stockholders unless such authorization is required by applicable law, the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange or market on which our stock is then listed or admitted to trading.

 

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

  the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred stock;

  the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock;

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of some provisions of the securities warrants is not complete. You should refer to the securities warrant agreement, including the forms of securities warrant certificate representing the securities warrants, relating to the specific securities warrants being offered for the complete terms of the securities warrant agreement and the securities warrants. The securities warrant agreement, together with the terms of the securities warrant certificate and securities warrants, will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific warrants.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, where applicable, of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

 

  the title of the warrants;
     
  the aggregate number of the warrants;
     
  the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the purchased securities. If less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

 

Prior to the exercise of any securities warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, including in the case of securities warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock, the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends on the preferred stock or common stock purchasable upon exercise.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any these methods. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. The prospectus supplement will include the following information:

 

  the terms of the offering;
     
  the names of any underwriters or agents;
     
  the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;

  any initial public offering price;
     
  any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
     
  any commissions paid to agents; and
     
  any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

 

 10 

 

 

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

 

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

 

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

Continuous Offering Program

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
