ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This document is part of the registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process, and consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference, which describes the specific terms of this offering. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, gives more general information, some of which does not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to the “prospectus,” we are referring to both parts combined. This prospectus supplement adds to, updates and changes information in the accompanying prospectus and may add to, update or change information in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

 

If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus or with any document incorporated by reference herein or therein that was filed with the SEC before the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date, the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into each include important information about our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations, the shares of common stock being offered hereby and other information purchasers should consider before investing in our common stock. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference” in this prospectus supplement.

 

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

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including any information incorporated by reference. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, or in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, is accurate as of any date other than the date of those respective documents, or that information contained in any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the document incorporated by reference. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. In particular, in light of the completion of the reorganization transactions described in the “Prospectus Supplement Summary - Reorganization” section of this prospectus supplement, our business, financial condition and results of operations reflect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our wholly owned subsidiary, EMI Holding, Inc. and its direct and indirect operating subsidiaries. Accordingly, the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus supplement and the risk factors, description of our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects in the documents incorporate herein by reference supersede and replace the “Risk Factors” section and corresponding information set forth or incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information about us, this offering and information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. Before purchasing any of the common stock that we are offering, please read carefully in their entirety this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In particular, you should carefully review the “Risk Factors” sections that are contained in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-10 and in our filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

 

Our Company

 

Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Emmaus” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, marketing and sale of innovative treatments and therapies, primarily for rare and orphan diseases. On July 7, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved our lead product, Endari (prescription-grade L-glutamine oral powder), to reduce the severe complications of sickle cell disease, or SCD, in adult and pediatric patients five years of age and older. Endari has received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA which affords marketing exclusivity for Endari for a seven-year following marketing approval.

 

Reorganization

 

As reported in more detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 22, 2019, as amended by our Form 8-K/A filed on August 14, 2019 and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, on July 17, 2019 we completed our merger transaction with EMI Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“EMI”) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of January 4, 2019, among us, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc., and EMI, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 10, 2019, which we refer to as the merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Athena Merger Subsidiary, Inc. merged into EMI, with EMI surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary. On July 17, 2019, immediately after completion of the merger, we changed our name to “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.”

 

The merger was treated as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. For accounting purposes, EMI is considered to have acquired us. The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

In connection with and prior to the merger, we contributed and transferred to Telemynd, Inc. (“Telemynd”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the company, all or substantially all of our historical business, assets and liabilities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2019, which we refer to as the separation agreement, among us, Telemynd and MYnd Analytics, Inc., wholly owned subsidiary of the company. On July 15, 2019, our board of directors declared a dividend with respect to the shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on that day of one share of the Telemynd common stock held by the company for each outstanding share of our common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split described below. The dividend, which together with the contribution and transfer of our historical business, assets and liabilities described above, is referred to as the spin-off, was paid on July 16, 2019.

 

On July 17, 2019, in connection with and prior to the completion of the merger, we effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split, or reverse split, of our outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse split had no effect on our authorized common stock, the par value or rights and privileges of the common stock or our authorized preferred stock.

 

S-4

 

 

As a result of the spin-off and the merger, our ongoing business is the EMI business, which is that of a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, marketing and sale of innovative treatments and therapies, including those in the rare and orphan disease categories. We operate our business through EMI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. EMI has no business or operations apart from Emmaus Medical, Inc. and subsidiaries, and we may choose to eliminate EMI in the foreseeable future.

 

Pursuant to the merger agreement, we issued shares of our common stock to EMI stockholders at an exchange ratio of 1.050457 shares of common stock, after giving effect to the reverse split, for each share of EMI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger, including shares deemed outstanding immediately prior to the merger upon the conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes of EMI. The exchange ratio was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between us and EMI. We also assumed the stock options outstanding under EMI’s Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, with such stock options henceforth representing the right to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to the exchange ratio multiplied by the number of shares of EMI common stock previously purchasable under such options at an exercise price per share equal to the former exercise price thereunder divided by such exchange ratio. Upon the merger, EMI’s outstanding Amended and Restated 10% Senior Secured Debentures due October 21, 2020, or debentures, and outstanding warrants to purchase EMI common stock generally became convertible and exercisable in accordance with their terms into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the exchange ratio multiplied by the number of shares of EMI common stock previously purchasable under the debentures and the warrants at an adjusted conversion or exercise price per share equal to former conversion or exercise price thereunder divided by the exchange ratio.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on March 20, 1987 under the name Age Research, Inc. Prior to January 16, 2007, our company (then called Strativation, Inc.) existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets and whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On January 16, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CNS Response, Inc., and CNS Merger Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, pursuant to which CNS Merger Corporation merged with and into CNS Response, Inc., which survived the merger. On March 7, 2007, we changed our corporate name to CNS Response, Inc. On November 2, 2015, we changed our corporate name to MYnd Analytics, Inc. As described above, on July 17, 2019, we changed our corporate name to Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.

Agreement with Lincoln Park

 

On February 28, 2020, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $25,000,000 of shares of our common stock, including 100,000 shares of our common stock that we will sell and issue to Lincoln Park on the commencement date of the Purchase Agreement at a price of $2.00 per share.

 

As consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we issued 415,743 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park on the date of the signing of the Purchase Agreement, which shares are sometimes referred to as the “commitment shares.”

 

We are filing this prospectus supplement to cover the offer and sale of (i) up to $25,000,000 of shares of our common stock, including the 100,000 shares initially being sold to Lincoln Park as described above, which we may sell from time to time at our discretion to Lincoln Park over the next 36 months, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the 415,743 commitment shares. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the commitment shares. The number of shares offered for resale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus supplement is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement in our sole discretion.

 

As often as every business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement on which the closing price of our common stock is at least $1.00 (the “Floor Price”), and up to an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (subject to certain limitations) of shares of our common stock, we have the right, from time to time, in our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 20,000 shares (the “Regular Purchase Share Limit”) of our common stock (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”). The Regular Purchase Share Limit will increase to (a) 30,000 shares, if the closing price of our common stock on the purchase date is not below $2.00, (b) 40,000 shares, if the closing price of our common stock on the purchase date is not below $3.00 and (c) 50,000 shares, if the closing price of our common stock on the purchase date is not below $4.00. In any case, Lincoln Park’s maximum obligation under any single Regular Purchase will not exceed $1,000,000, unless we mutually agree to increase the maximum amount of such Regular Purchase. The purchase price for shares of our common stock to be purchased by Lincoln Park under a Regular Purchase will be the equal to lower of:

 

the lowest sale price for our common stock on the purchase date; and
   
the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 12 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date.

 

If we direct Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares of our common stock we may sell in a Regular Purchase, subject to certain conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement we may direct Lincoln Park to make an “accelerated purchase” of additional shares of common stock that may not exceed the lesser of (i) 300% of the number of shares purchased pursuant to the corresponding Regular Purchase and (ii) 30% of the total number of shares of our common stock traded during a specified period on the applicable purchase date as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price for such shares will be 94% of the lower of:

 

the closing sale price for our common stock on the date of sale; and
  
the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over certain periods of the day of sale as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Under certain circumstances and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, provided that we have directed Lincoln Park to make an accelerated purchase, on the following business day we may direct Lincoln Park to make an “additional accelerated purchase” on the following business day on the same terms as applicable to an accelerated purchase. Under certain circumstances, we may also direct Lincoln Park to make multiple accelerated purchases or additional accelerated purchases on the same business day.

 

S-7

 

 

We will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, but in no event may we sell shares to Lincoln Park on a day our closing price is less than the Floor Price.

 

The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any shares of our common stock if those shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, would result in Lincoln Park and its affiliates having beneficial ownership, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then total outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

The Purchase Agreement does not limit our ability to raise capital from other sources at our sole discretion, except that (subject to certain exceptions) we may not enter into any variable rate transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, including the issuance of any floating conversion rate or variable priced equity-like securities) during the period ending on the earlier of 36 months from the date of the Purchase Agreement and 12 months from the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

 

Events of default under the Purchase Agreement include the following:

 

the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are a part, lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order), or this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus are unavailable for sale by us or the resale by Lincoln Park of our common stock offered hereby, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten consecutive business days or for more than an aggregate of thirty business days in any 365-day period;

 

the suspension of our common stock from trading on the OTCQB for a period of one (1) business day;

 

the delisting of our common stock from OTCQB; provided, however, that our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NYSE American, the NYSE Arca, the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQX operated by the OTCQB Group, Inc. (or nationally recognized successor to any of the foregoing);

 

the failure for any reason by the transfer agent to issue the securities offered hereby to Lincoln Park within three (3) business days after the applicable purchase date which Lincoln Park is entitled to receive such securities;

 

any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement or any related agreements with Lincoln Park if such breach would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and such breach is not cured within five (5) business days;

 

our participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement; or

 

if at any time we are not eligible to transfer our common stock electronically via the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC program.

 

Lincoln Park does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon any of the events of default set forth above. During an event of default, all of which are outside the control of Lincoln Park, shares of our common stock cannot be sold by us or purchased by Lincoln Park under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

S-8

 

 

We may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time in our sole discretion without fee, penalty or cost, upon one (1) business day’s written notice to Lincoln Park. In the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against us, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically without action of either party.

 

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement on our Stockholders

 

All shares registered in this offering that we issue to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be freely tradable. Shares registered in this offering may be sold to Lincoln Park over a period of up to 36 months commencing on the date of this prospectus supplement. The sale by Lincoln Park of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Lincoln Park all, some or none of the additional shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If and when we do sell shares to Lincoln Park, after Lincoln Park has acquired the shares, Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Lincoln Park by us under the Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with Lincoln Park may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any additional sales of our shares to Lincoln Park and we may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

 

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from Lincoln Park assuming we were to sell all shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement at varying assumed purchase prices:

 

Assumed Average

Purchase Price Per Share

   Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase(1)   Percentage of Outstanding Shares After Giving Effect to the Issuance to Lincoln Park(2)   Proceeds from the Sale of Shares to Lincoln Park Under the Purchase Agreement(3)

Excludes the 415,743 commitment shares issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement and the 100,000 shares initially purchased by Lincoln Park at a price of $2.00 per share.
(2) The denominator is based on 48,471,446 shares outstanding as of February 28, 2020, adjusted to include the issuance of (i) the 415,743 commitment shares, (ii) the 100,000 initial purchase shares and (iii) the number of shares of common stock which we would have sold and issued to Lincoln Park assuming we were to sell $24,800,000 of shares of our common stock at the average purchase price set forth in the adjacent column. The numerator is based on the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column which we would have sold under the Purchase Agreement at the corresponding assumed average purchase price set forth in the adjacent column.
(3) Gives effect to the sale of the initial shares at a price of $2.00 per share.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the risks described below, you should carefully consider the information under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 52 of our Registration Statement on Form S-4, filed with the SEC on June 10, 2019, as amended on June 11, 2019, which information is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, and other information included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and reports we file from time to time with the SEC that we incorporate by reference herein for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the identified risks occur, it could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects and the market price of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and the market price of our common stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have operated at a loss and will likely continue to operate at a loss for the foreseeable future

 

We have operated at a loss due to substantial expenditures related to research and development, marketing approval and commercialization of Endari, research and development of our other product candidates, interest on outstanding indebtedness and general and administrative expenses. We incurred net losses of $58.9 million and $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $216.9 million as of September 30, 2019. We are likely to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and there is no assurance that we will ever become profitable.

 

We are dependent on financing to sustain our operations, and there is substantial uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our net revenue was $6.1 million and $17.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $4.9 million and $8.2 million in the comparable periods in 2018. On February 5, 2020, we reported preliminary gross sales of $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, but did not report net revenue, which is not yet finalized. We expect net revenue to continue to increase, but unless and until we become profitable, we will continue to depend upon proceeds from sales of debt or equity securities to generate funds needed to finance our business and operations. At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.5 million, which included $12.2 million of cash held by EJ Holding, Inc., a VIE, substantially all of which was subsequently used to fund EJ Holding, Inc.’s purchase in December 2019 of an amino acid production facility in Ube, Japan.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we also had investments in marketable securities of $27.6 million. Our marketable securities (the “Telcon Shares”) are pledged to secure our obligations under our API Supply Agreement with Telecon RF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Telcon”). The API Supply Agreement was amended in December 2019 to release the Telcon Shares from the pledge and to permit us to sell the shares in exchange for our agreement to use a portion of the net sale proceeds to purchase at face value a 10-year convertible bond of Telcon in the principal amount of KRW36 billion, or approximately US$31.0 million, to be pledged to Telcon pursuant to the API Agreement in substitution of the pledge of the Telcon Shares. Upon our purchase of the convertible bond, the balance of the net proceeds from any sale of the Telcon Shares will be released to us, free and clear of any pledge, encumbrance or restriction. As of February 28, 2020, the Telcon Shares had a market value of approximately KRW29.7 billion, or approximately US$24.7 million, based upon the closing price of the Telcon Shares on that date as reported on the Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. We intend to sell the Telcon Shares from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or market transactions at prevailing prices, but there can be no assurance as to when, in what amounts or at what prices we will be able to sell the Telcon Shares or the amount of net sale proceeds that we may eventually realize. Until we purchase the convertible bond of Telcon, the Telcon Shares and the net proceeds from sales of the Telcon Shares will be held in a brokerage account established for this purpose in which Telcon has a security interest to secure our obligations under the API Agreement. Depending upon whether, in what amounts and at what prices we may be able to sell the Telcon Shares, our future results of operations and other factors, we will need additional financing to fund our business and operations and will continue to be dependent on future financing until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient net revenues to become profitable. We have no commitments from the third parties to purchase any of the Telcon Shares or provide us with any additional financing, and we may not be able to sell the Telcon Shares or obtain future financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain needed future financing, we may have to curtail some of our business activities or modify our business plans. In light of the foregoing, there is substantial uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

S-10

 

 

We are dependent on the commercial success of our only approved product, Endari.

 

Our ability to become profitable will depend upon the commercial success of Endari. In addition to the risks discussed elsewhere in this section, our ability to generate future revenues from the sale of Endari will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

 

achievement of broad market acceptance and coverage by third-party payors for Endari;

 

our ability to compete effectively against competing products, including Oxbryta (voxelotor) and Adakveo® (crizanaliziumab), which were approved recently by the FDA to treat SCD in certain patients;

 

the effectiveness of our efforts in marketing and selling Endari;

 

our and our contract manufacturers’ ability to successfully manufacture commercial quantities of Endari at acceptable cost levels and in compliance with regulatory requirements;

 

our ability to maintain a cost-efficient commercial organization and, to the extent we seek to do so, successfully partner with additional third parties;

 

our ability to effectively work with physicians to ensure that patients are treated to an effective dose of Endari;

 

the efficacy and safety of Endari; and

 

our ability to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict the extent to which we will generate revenues from Endari or the timing for when or the extent to which we will become profitable, if ever.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds of this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds of this for general corporate and working capital purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness and general and administrative purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the actual use of the net proceeds of this offering and will have the right to use the net proceeds for purposes that differ substantially from our current plans. Management may use the net proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material and adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline, perhaps materially.

 

S-11

 

 

If we sell shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement, our stockholders will experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may go down.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may sell up to $24,800,000 (excluding the 100,000 shares of our common stock that we will sell and issue to Lincoln Park on the commencement date of the Purchase Agreement at a price of $2.00 per share) of shares of our common stock over a 36-month period at our discretion and subject to certain limitations, and, as consideration for Lincoln Park’s entering into the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue to Lincoln Park an aggregate of up to 415,743 commitment shares. For additional details, please refer to “Agreement with Lincoln Park” in this prospectus supplement.

 

The sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our existing stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Lincoln Park under this prospectus supplement is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the $24,800,000 of shares of common stock that, together with the commitment shares and the 100,000 initial shares, are the subject of this prospectus supplement.

 

Lincoln Park may resell all, some or none of the shares we issue to it under the Purchase Agreement. Sales by Lincoln Park of shares acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which decline could be significant. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by Lincoln Park, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish.

 

Our outstanding warrants may result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

As described in our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020 and incorporated herein by reference, we have entered into a securities amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with the holders of $9.2 million principal amount of our outstanding amended and restated 10% senior secured convertible debentures due October 21, 2020 and related outstanding amended and restated common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 1,537,200 shares of our common stock. The Amendment amends in certain respects the securities purchase agreement among the company and the holders of the Debentures originally entered into on September 8, 2018, as previously amended, and provides that the debentures and the warrants are to be further amended in certain respects and restated in their entirety. The second amended and restated debentures (the “Debentures”) and the second amended and restated warrants (the “Warrants”) provide for a so-called full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustment in the event we sell or issue shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price less than the $3.00 conversion price of the Debentures and exercise price of the Warrants, subject to certain exceptions. As a result, the issuance and sale to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement of the initial 100,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share will trigger a reduction in the conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the Warrants to $2.00 per share.

 

These anti-dilution provisions also would be triggered by the future issuance and sale of the shares being offered hereby or upon any other future issuance by us of shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share below the then-exercise price of the Debentures and the Warrants. To the extent that these anti-dilution provisions are triggered in the future, we would be required to reduce the conversion price of the Debentures and exercise price of the Warrants on a full-ratchet basis, which would have a dilutive effect on our stockholders.

 

S-12

 

 

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

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the prices at which we sell shares in this offering or Lincoln Park may resell the shares. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock in future transactions may be lower than the price per share paid by purchasers in this offering.

 

We may experience volatility in our stock price, which may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

Between July 18, 2019 and February 28, 2020, the closing sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB ranged from a low of $1.10 to a high of $6.86 and may continue to exhibit volatility. Factors such as the following may affect the volatility in our stock price:

 

our quarterly operating results;

 

marketing approvals or other developments regarding Endari or competing products;

 

announcements of regulatory developments or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

 

changes in our relationship with our vendors, distributors or other strategic partners;

 

government regulation of drug pricing; and

 

developments in patent or other technology ownership rights;

 

Other factors which may affect our stock price include general changes in the economy, the financial markets or the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries.

 

Trading on the OTCQB is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our security holders to resell their common stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Trading in securities quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our business or operating performance. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a stock exchange like The Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE American. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.

 

Since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, our stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to state “blue sky” laws and the sale of common stock in this offering is subject to state “blue sky” laws.

 

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (i) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (ii) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or the transaction must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker must also be registered in that state. Since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, a determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our common stock. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to effect any required blue sky registrations or qualifications.

 

S-13

 

 

There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our common stock. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your common stock without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The proceeds from this offering will vary depending on the number of shares that we offer, the offering price per share and the applicable offering discount rate. We may receive gross proceeds of up to $25,000,000 over the term of the Purchase Agreement, including $200,000 of gross proceeds we will receive from the initial sale of 100,000 shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. We may sell fewer than all of the shares offered by this prospectus supplement, in which case our net offering proceeds will be less, and we may raise less than the maximum $25,000,000 in gross offering proceeds permitted by this prospectus supplement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance to Lincoln Park of the commitment shares.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by this prospectus supplement for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness and general and administrative purposes.

 

We may also use any net proceeds from this offering for acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses, but we do not have any current plans, agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time. We have not reserved or allocated specific amounts for any of these purposes and we cannot specify with certainty how we will use any net proceeds, and the timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including, among others, cash flows from operations and any growth of our business. Our management will have broad discretion in applying any net proceeds of this offering. Until the funds are used as described above, we intend to invest any net proceeds from this offering in interest bearing, investment grade securities.

 

DILUTION

 

The sale of our common stock to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our right to sell shares to Lincoln Park, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the greater dilution our existing stockholders will experience.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had a negative net tangible book value of approximately $18.3 million, or $(0.38) per share of common stock. After giving effect to (a) the sale of 100,000 shares of our commons stock at a price of $2.00 per share, (b) the assumed sale of an aggregate of 16,533,333 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on February 27, 2020, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $25.0 million, and (c) the issuance of 415,743 shares to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase shares, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, the as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2019 would have been approximately $6.7 million, or $0.10 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the as adjusted net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.48 per share and an immediate decrease to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering of $1.40 per share, as illustrated by the following table:

 

Average public offering price per share      $1.50 
Net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2019  $(0.38)     
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to¼ existing holders of our common stock  $0.48      
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2019 after giving effect to this offering       $0.10 
Decrease per share to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering       $1.40 

 

S-14

 

 

The information above is based on 47,671,446 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019, and excludes as of such date:

 

7,245,350 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our stock option plans at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.68 per share;

 

4,931,321 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted- average exercise price of $7.20 per share;

 

1,281,514 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debentures at an exercise price of $9.52 per share; and

 

2,167,150 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our stock option plans.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relate to the issuance and sale of (i) up to $25,000,000 of shares of our common stock that we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase from time to time at our discretion under the Purchase Agreement that we entered into with Lincoln Park on February 28, 2020, including 100,000 shares that we are initially selling to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement at a price of $2.00 per share, and (ii) an additional 415,743 shares of our common stock issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitments to purchase shares of our common stock as provided in the Purchase Agreement. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus also cover the resale of these shares by Lincoln Park to the public.

 

The Purchase Agreement provides that, from time-to-time over the 36 -month term of the Purchase Agreement, on any business day, and at our sole discretion, we may require Lincoln Park to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock as a Regular Purchase with such amount increasing as the closing sale price of our common stock increases, provided that the closing price of our Common Stock on the purchase date exceeds the Floor Price and subject to a maximum of $1,000,000 per Regular Purchase. In addition, upon notice to Lincoln Park, we may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of our common stock in “accelerated purchases,” and “additional accelerated purchases” as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share is based on the market price of our common stock at the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement. See the section entitled “Lincoln Park Transaction” above.

 

Lincoln Park is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Lincoln Park has informed us that it will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate all sales, if any, of the common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made on the OTCQB at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Lincoln Park has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from Lincoln Park that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

 

S-15

 

 

We know of no existing arrangements between Lincoln Park and any stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock being offered hereby.

 

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to Lincoln Park.

 

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus supplement to Lincoln Park. We also have agreed to indemnify Lincoln Park and certain other persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of our common stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the state’s registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

 

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

 

Lincoln Park represented to us that at no time prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement has Lincoln Park or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our common stock or any hedging transaction. Lincoln Park agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, it, its agents, representatives or affiliates will not enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.

 

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219.

 

The Purchase Agreement is included as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March __, 2020 and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The above description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Commission utilizing a “shelf” registration process or continuous offering process, which allows us to offer and sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. You should rely only on the information we have provided or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the prospectus. Using this prospectus, we may offer up to a total dollar amount of $75,000,000 of these securities.

 

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer.

Business Overview

 

MYnd Analytics, Inc. (the “Company” or “MYnd”) employs a clinically validated scalable technology platform to support personalized care for mental health patients. The Company utilizes its patented machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics platform for the delivery of telebehavioral health services and its PEER predictive analytics product offering. On November 13, 2017, the Company acquired Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC (“Arcadian”), which manages the delivery of telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health services through a nationwide network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and master’s-level therapists. The Company is commercializing its PEER predictive analytics tool to help physicians reduce trial and error treatment in mental health. MYnd’s patented, clinically validated technology platform (“PEER Online”) utilizes complex algorithms to analyze electroencephalograms (“EEGs”) to generate Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (“PEER”) Reports to predict individual responses to a range of medications prescribed for the treatment of behavioral disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and other non-psychotic disorders.

 

The Market for Telebehavioral Health and Predictive Healthcare

 

Telebehavioral health services involve the use of video conferencing equipment to conduct real time mental health consultations between a clinician and patient including individuals living in underserved areas or those with limited access to services. Over eighty-nine million Americans live in federally designated Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas. Two-thirds of U.S. primary care physicians report not having adequate access to psychiatric care for their patients. Arcadian facilitates on-demand telebehavioral health services to expedite assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and disposition of patients in a wide variety of settings.

 

Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC

 

Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary acquired in November 2017, manages the delivery of telebehavioral health services through a multi-state network of licensed and credentialed psychiatrists, psychologists and other behavioral health therapists (“Providers”). Although many companies provide broad telehealth services within the United States, only a few companies have a primary focus on telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health. Arcadian’s business model is unique, because it has access to a broad network of licensed behavioral health professionals exclusively focused on telepsychiatry and telebehavioral health. These Providers collectively offer a full suite of behavioral health and wellness services, including short-term (urgent), medium-term (rehabilitation) and long-term (management) behavioral care.

 

Arcadian’s telehealth service delivery model is optimized to deliver behavioral health care anytime and anywhere, offering unprecedented access to behavioral health services. All technology for scheduling and videoconferencing is accessible through a secure portal, creating a seamless experience for the patient, referring physician, and Arcadian provider. The Providers’ services include initial and follow-up psychiatric evaluations and diagnoses, medication prescribing and monitoring, urgent on-call evaluations, forensic and legal evaluations, individual and family counseling (e.g., grief, behavior problems, job loss) and drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation counseling. Arcadian also arranges for services through Employee Assistance Programs (teleEAP) that many employers include as part of their employee benefits packages.

 

4

 

 

Arcadian contracts for most of its Providers’ services through contracts (each a “Service Agreement”) with the Providers. Neither the Company nor Arcadian has an ownership interest in any Provider, nor any employment relationships with any Provider with which it has a Service Agreement. All Providers are required to maintain proper state licensing, credentialing and malpractice insurance. In a typical Service Agreement, Arcadian provides certain management and administrative services in support of the Providers’ non-medical functions and the Providers provide telebehavioral health services.

 

Arcadian and its Providers currently have contracts with 22 insurance companies, human capital management corporations (i.e., EAP benefits), outpatient diagnostic and treatment centers, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers (outpatient and residential), community behavioral health clinics, treatment and rehabilitation centers, corrections facilities, and post-acute care centers. Arcadian is exploring expansion opportunities by providing services to emergency departments, schools (K-12 and college) and large employers. Arcadian’s contracts span from Pennsylvania to California and North Dakota to Louisiana and Texas.

 

PEER Report and PEER Online Database

  

A PEER Report is a personalized report for a patient which is generated after the patient receives an EEG. An EEG is a painless, non-invasive test that records the brain’s electrical activity and provides a basis for comparison against others within the PEER database. MYnd utilizes AI, machine learning and data analytics in order to inform therapeutic regimens, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. The PEER Reports use data from EEG tests, outcomes and machine learning to identify endophenotypic markers of drug response. This big data approach has allowed MYnd to generate a large clinical registry and database of predictive algorithms from more than 10,000 unique patients with psychiatric or addictive problems and 38,000 clinical outcomes.

 

The PEER Online database is maintained in two parts:

 

1. The QEEG Database

 

The QEEG Database includes EEG recordings and neurometric data derived from analysis of these recordings. QEEG is a standard measure that adds cloud-based computerized statistical analysis to traditional EEG studies. We have used two separate QEEG databases from different vendors, which provide statistical and normative information in the generation of a PEER Report.

 

2. The PEER Outcomes Database

 

The PEER Outcomes Database consists of physician-provided assessments of the clinical long-term outcomes of patients and their associated medications. The clinical outcomes of patients are recorded using an industry-standard outcome rating scale, the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (“CGI-I”). The CGI-I allows a clinician to rate how much the patient’s illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state. A patient’s illness is compared to change over time and rated as: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, or very much worse. The format of the data is standardized and that standard is enforced at the time of capture by a software application. Outcome data is input into the database by the treating physician or their office staff. Each physician has access to their patient data through the software tool that captures the clinical outcome data.

Analysts have identified predictive healthcare as one of the fastest-growing markets in healthcare, particularly, healthcare startups using advanced machine learning algorithms for medical imaging and diagnostics, remote patient monitoring, and risk prediction. The global healthcare analytics market is expected to reach USD $42.8 billion by 2024, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Efforts to reduce the spiraling healthcare costs are facilitating the usage of healthcare analytics. Additionally, the benefits of healthcare analytics include the improvement of patient access to customized care, the furthering of transparent operations to enable better public oversight, and innovation in patient care delivery and services.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

The Company will pursue aggressively the expansion of its Arcadian telebehavioral health network, by increasing the number of contracted payors and providers and its geographic reach. The Company will continue to focus marketing efforts on the geographies where there might be fewer available therapists as it continues to develop Arcadian’s network. The Company will rely upon its in-house marketing staff to continue to market Arcadian services to insurance companies, EAPs and community behavioral health centers.

 

The Company will actively pursue cross sales of Arcadian managed care and health system clients. The Company will continue to market paid pilot programs such as the Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield pilot, while it campaigns for coverage determinations from large health plans and health systems.

 

The Company also plans to bring this platform to primary care providers, currently the main locus of treatment for behavioral disorders and a physician group that deals every day with the limited access to behavioral health specialists and the poor efficacy of current treatments.

 

Acquisition of Arcadian Telepsychiatry Services LLC

 

On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Arcadian and Mr. Robert Plotkin, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Equity Interests”) of Arcadian from Mr. Plotkin. In consideration for the Equity Interests, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Plotkin, pursuant to which the Company will continue to employ Mr. Plotkin as the CEO of Arcadian for an annual salary of $215,000, and granted him 35,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company entered into the Guaranty (as described below).

 

In connection with the Agreement, Arcadian entered into the Side Agreement and Seed Capital Amendment with Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania (“BFTP”), pursuant to which BFTP waived its rights (a) to an equity conversion contemplated by the existing funding agreements (as they may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BFTP Loan Documents”) between Arcadian and BFTP, under which BFTP has loaned Arcadian, as of August 31, 2017, the aggregate principal amount of $700,000 and upon which an aggregate of $85,496 of interest had then accrued (collectively, the “Loan Amount”) and (b) to act as an observer to Arcadian’s board. Under the Side Agreement and Seed Capital Amendment, Arcadian acknowledged and reaffirmed all of BFTP’s claims, encumbrances granted by Arcadian to BFTP, and BFTP’s other rights, interests and remedies pursuant to the BFTP Loan Documents and otherwise. The effectiveness of the Side Agreement and Seed Capital Amendment are conditioned upon (i) Arcadian making a one-time payment to BFTP of $175,000 as payment for the redemption and cancellation of two warrants to purchase equity interests in Arcadian and (ii) the Company entering into a guaranty with respect to Arcadian’s obligations (including the Loan Amount) to BFTP under the BFTP Loan Documents, as amended by the Side Agreement and Seed Capital Amendment. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the aforementioned BFTP rights will be waived and the BFTP warrants will be cancelled. The Side Agreement and Seed Capital Amendment further provide that following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Company will be obligated to complete all financial reporting to BFTP required under the BFTP Loan Documents.

In addition, the Company executed an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and suretyship (the “Guaranty”) in favor of BFTP, pursuant to which it unconditionally guaranteed the prompt payment and performance, when due, of all loans (including the Loan Amount), advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by Arcadian to BFTP under the BFTP Loan Documents. Under the Guaranty, if Arcadian defaults under any obligation under the BFTP Loan Documents, the Company will be required to pay the amount then due to BFTP. The Guaranty contains representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type.

 

Corporate Background

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on March 20, 1987, under the name Age Research, Inc. Prior to January 16, 2007, the Company (then called Strativation, Inc.) existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets whose sole business was to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies to acquire or with which to merge. On January 16, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation formed on January 11, 2000 (“CNS California”), and CNS Merger Corporation, a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”) pursuant to which we agreed to acquire CNS California in a merger transaction wherein MergerCo would merge with and into CNS California, with CNS California being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). On March 7, 2007, the Merger closed, CNS California became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and on the same date we changed our corporate name from Strativation, Inc. to CNS Response, Inc.

 

At the meeting of shareholders of CNS Response, Inc. held on October 28, 2015, the shareholders approved a proposal to change the Company’s name to MYnd Analytics, Inc. The Company’s charter was amended on November 2, 2015.

 

The Company actively operates its businesses through MYnd Analytics, Inc. (California) (formerly called CNS Response, Inc. (California) until November 22, 2017) and, until September 30, 2012, also operated the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. (“NTC”), which was acquired as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2008, when it was the Company’s largest customer. NTC operations were discontinued effective September 30, 2012, as the Company chose to focus its limited cash resources on its clinical trial.

 

Our current address is 26522 La Alameda, Suite 290, Mission Viejo, California 92691. Our telephone number is (949) 420-4400 and we maintain a website at www.MYndAnalytics.com.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below or in any applicable prospectus supplement and other information, including our financial statements and related notes previously included in our periodic reports, filed with the Commission, and in the documents incorporated therein by reference before deciding to invest in our securities. However, those risks are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. The following risks, among others, could cause our actual results, performance, achievements or industry results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements contained herein and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. In such case, the market price of our securities would likely decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Before you invest in any of our securities, in addition to the other information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below, the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item IA in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we file after our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under the Exchange Act.

 

Risks Pertaining to Our Common Stock

 

Ownership of our common stock will entail certain risks associated with the volatility of prices for our shares and the fact that we do not pay dividends on our common stock.

 

The price of our common stock may rise and fall rapidly.

 

The market price of our common stock like that of the shares of many biotechnology companies, is highly volatile. The price of our common stock may rise or fall rapidly as a result of a number of factors, including:

 

sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock;

 

results of preclinical testing or clinical trials of our product candidates or those of our competitors;

 

announcements about us or about our competitors, including clinical trial results, regulatory approvals, new product introductions and commercial results;

 

the cost of our development programs;

 

the success of competitive products or technologies;

 

litigation and other developments relating to our issued patents or patent applications or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors;

 

conditions in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries;

 

actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;

 

8

 

 

variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us, including the failure of our earnings to meet analysts’ expectations; and

 

general economic, industry and market conditions.

 

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies in particular, have been experiencing extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of the equity securities without regard to the operating performance of the issuing companies. Broad market fluctuations, as well as industry factors and general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our stock price could decline due to the large number of outstanding shares of our common stock eligible for future sale.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

 

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on any of our classes of securities and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on the appreciation in the price of our securities.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any class of our securities. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund our future growth and do not expect to declare or pay any dividend on any class of our securities in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only realize a gain on your investment in our securities if the market price of our securities appreciates and you sell your securities at a price above your cost after accounting for any taxes. The price of our securities may not appreciate in value or ever exceed the price that you paid for our securities.

 

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

 

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present shareholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 250,000,000 shares of common stock. We are also authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As of June 7, 2018, we had issued and outstanding 6,039,375 shares of Common Stock, 550,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and 500,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. We have also reserved 5,617,481 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. We have also reserved 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under our stock option plan, of which, 216,890 shares are available for issuance.

 

We may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other securities in order to raise additional capital, or in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, or in connection with future acquisitions of licenses to technology or rights to acquire products, in connection with future business acquisitions, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

We may also issue 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock having rights, preferences, and privileges senior to the rights of our common stock with respect to dividends, rights to share in distributions of our assets if we liquidate our company, or voting rights. Any preferred stock may also be convertible into common stock on terms that would be dilutive to holders of common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will retain broad discretion over the use of net proceeds to us from the sale of our securities offered hereby. Except as may be otherwise described in a prospectus supplement or a free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, we currently anticipate using any net proceeds to us for general corporate purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors.

 

Pending the application of such proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in short-term, interest bearing, investment-grade marketable securities or money market obligations.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes us to issue an aggregate of 265,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which (i) 250,000,000 are shares of common stock par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 15,000,000 are shares of “blank check” preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share.

 

As of June 7, 2018, we had 6,039,375 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and as of March 31, 2018 we had an additional 5,617,481 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants. As of June 7, 2018, we had 550,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding and 500,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding.

 

The following summary description of our capital stock is based on the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This information is qualified entirely by reference to the applicable provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law. For information on how to obtain copies of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, see “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. We may issue Preferred Stock in one or more series, at any time, with such powers, preferences, and rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as our Board of Directors may determine, all without further action of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors may, by resolution, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. Any series of Preferred Stock which may be authorized by the Board of Directors in the future may be senior to and have greater rights and preferences than the Common Stock. As of June 7, 2018 we had 550,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 500,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. For additional information pertaining to the rights and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, please refer to Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 3, 2018 and May 4, 2018, respectively incorporated herein by reference.

Common Stock

 

Rights and Preferences

 

Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock that we may designate in the future.

 

Voting Rights

 

Each holder of record of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Common Stock owned on every matter properly submitted to the shareholders for their vote.

 

Subject to any voting rights that might be afforded to holders of any Preferred Stock that might be outstanding, matters submitted to our shareholders for a vote will generally require for approval the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter, without distinction as to class or series, present and voting at a meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present, unless Delaware law requires a different vote. Delaware law requires the following vote for approval of the following matters:

 

A merger or consolidation for which a vote of our shareholders is required, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or a corporate dissolution, will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter, without distinction as to class or series.

 

An amendment of our certificate of incorporation will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the amendment, and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote on the amendment as a class. Under Delaware law, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote on the amendment by our certificate of incorporation, if the amendment would increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of the class, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of the class, or alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of the class so as to affect them adversely. If any proposed amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of one or more series of any class so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for the purposes of the vote required to approve the amendment.

 

Directors may be elected by a plurality of the shares of stock entitled to vote, voted at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

 

A majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. Any action required or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of our shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter were present and voted.

 

11

 

 

Dividend Rights

 

Subject to the dividend rights of holders of any shares of the Preferred Stock that may be issued from time to time, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. We have not paid any cash dividends on the Common Stock, and it is unlikely that any cash dividends will be declared or paid on any series of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain our cash for use in financing our future operations and growth.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

Subject to the prior payment of the liquidation preference to holders of any shares of Preferred Stock that may be issued, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis, all of our remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock in the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our operations.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

Holders of our Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights to become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any series of our capital stock.

 

Outstanding Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2018, there are 5,617,481 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.74.

 

Delaware Law

 

Delaware Statutory Business Combinations Provision

 

We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. Section 203 could discourage or make it more difficult to effect a change in our management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of our voting stock, even if our stockholders might consider such a change to be in their best interest. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

General

 

Pursuant to this prospectus, we may issue, in one or more series, warrants to purchase Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The warrants may be issued independently or together with any securities and may be attached to or separate from the securities. If the warrants are issued pursuant to warrant agreements, we will so specify in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants being offered pursuant to the prospectus supplement. While the following terms described below will apply generally to any warrants we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may specify different or additional terms than those specified below.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants. These terms may include the following:

 

the title of the warrants;

 

the securities (i.e., Preferred Stock or Common Stock) for which the warrants are exercisable;

 

the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

 

if applicable, the designation and terms of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock with which the warrants are issued, and the number of warrants issued with each share of Preferred Stock or Common Stock;

 

the aggregate number of warrants;

 

the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence, and the date on which the right will expire;

 

any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of warrants.

 

Holders of warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being such holders, to vote, consent, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as our stockholders.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash such principal amount of securities or shares of stock 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 warrants offered thereby. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

13

 

 

The warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. Upon receipt of payment and the taking of other action specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

The following description, together with the additional information we may 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 an applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under an applicable prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or 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 sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

General

 

We may issue units comprised of one or more shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or units in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued, if applicable, may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in an applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including:

 

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

 

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

14

 

 

The provisions described in this section will apply to each unit, and, if the unit contains any preferred stock, common stock, or warrant, then the provisions as described under “Description of Capital Stock,” and “Description of Warrants,” shall apply to each unit, as applicable.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in the amounts and in numerous distinct series as we 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.

 

Title

 

We, the unit agent and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units, despite any notice to the contrary.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities being offered by us in this prospectus pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or any combination of such methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters, dealers, agents or directly to one or more purchasers. We and our agents reserve the right to accept and to reject in whole or in part any proposed purchase of securities. A prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, which we will file each time we effect an offering of any securities, will provide the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, involved in the sale of such securities, and any applicable fees, commissions, or discounts to which such persons shall be entitled to in connection with such offering.

 

We and our agents, dealers and underwriters, as applicable, may sell the securities being offered by us in this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions at:

 

a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

prices related to such prevailing market prices;

 

varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

 

negotiated prices.

 

15

 

 

We may determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe how any auction will determine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the underwriters’ obligations in the applicable prospectus supplement or amendment.

 

We may solicit directly offers to purchase securities. We may also designate agents from time to time to solicit offers to purchase securities. Any agent that we designate, who may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such agent at the time of resale.

 

We may engage in at the market offerings of our securities. An at the market offering is an offering of our securities at a fixed price through a market maker. We shall name any underwriter that we engage for an at the market offering in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement containing this prospectus. We shall also describe any additional details of our arrangement with such underwriter, including commissions or fees paid, or discounts offered, by us and whether such underwriter is acting as principal or agent, in the related prospectus supplement.

 

If we use underwriters to sell securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them, which agreement shall be filed with the Commission. Underwriters may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities. Underwriters may also use dealers to sell securities. In such an event, the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

 

Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements that may be entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribution with respect to payments which they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Underwriters and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize underwriters, dealers or other persons to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the securities offered by us under this prospectus pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date or dates. The obligations of any purchaser under these contracts will be subject only to those conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the price to be paid for securities pursuant to those contracts and the commissions payable for solicitation of the contracts.

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing and syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M of the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of 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 selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by such dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “MYND.” The other securities offered hereby are not listed on any securities exchange or other stock market and, unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for listing of the other securities on any securities exchange or other stock market. Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities that they purchase, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we give you no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for the securities.

 

16

 

 

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered hereby will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offering.

 

In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, the securities may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the securities may not be sold unless the securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from regulation or qualification is available and is complied with. Sales of securities must also be made by us in compliance with all other applicable state securities laws and regulations.

 

We shall pay all expenses of the registration of the securities.
