| PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED AUGUST 28, 2026 |
25,148,970 Shares of
Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the proposed resale or other disposition by the selling stockholders identified herein (the “Selling Stockholders”), of up to 25,148,970 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Adial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), consisting of: (i) 437,421 shares of Common Stock (the “Merger Common Shares”) issued by us to the former stockholders of Azora Therapeutics, Inc. (“Azora”); (ii) 12,930,601 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 12,930.601 shares (the “Merger Preferred Shares”) of our Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), issued by us to the former stockholders of Azora; (iii) 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”) that we issued to accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) in a private placement transaction (the “PIPE”) on June 12, 2026, and (iv) 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants”) that we issued to the former convertible noteholders (the “Former Azora Noteholders”) of Azora on June 11, 2026 in exchange for the extinguishment of the payment guaranty and the retirement of the notes held by the Former Azora Noteholders in the principal amount of $5,500,000 (the “Azora Notes”). Subject to receiving approval by our stockholders of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Merger Preferred Shares and exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, and subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, each Merger Preferred Share will convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock on the third day after the receipt of such stockholder approval and each Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Merger Preferred Shares registered pursuant to this prospectus are referred to herein as the “Merger Conversion Shares,” the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Warrant Shares,” and the Merger Common Shares, Merger Conversion Shares and the Initial Closing Warrant Shares registered pursuant to this prospectus are collectively referred to herein as the “Resale Shares.”
On June 11, 2026, we acquired Azora, in accordance with the terms of that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 11, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Adial Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Adial Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Azora. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into Azora, pursuant to which Azora was the surviving corporation and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger” and the effective time of the First Merger, the “First Effective Time”). Immediately following the First Merger, Azora merged with and into Second Merger Sub, pursuant to which Second Merger Sub was the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (together with the First Merger, the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, in exchange for the outstanding shares of capital stock of Azora immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, we issued to the stockholders of Azora (i) the 437,421 Merger Common Shares, and (ii) the 12,930.601 Merger Preferred Shares. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we agreed to guarantee the payment of the Azora Notes to the Former Azora Noteholders. On June 11, 2026, in connection with the Merger, we entered into exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with the Former Azora Noteholders to extinguish the payment guaranty and retire the Azora Notes in exchange for Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock.
The Merger Common Shares, Merger Preferred Shares and Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as applicable. We are registering the Resale Shares for resale by the Selling Stockholders.
We are filing this registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations with certain of the Selling Stockholders to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholders of the Resale Shares offered hereby. See “Selling Stockholders” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus for more information about the Selling Stockholders. The registration of the shares of Common Stock to which this prospectus relates does not require the Selling Stockholders to sell any of their shares of Common Stock. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by this prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may sell their Resale Shares hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
We are not offering any Resale Shares under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Resale Shares being registered pursuant to this prospectus. See “Use of Proceeds” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus, or their pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or their respective successors-in-interest, may sell the Resale Shares on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, on the over-the-counter market, in one or more transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems, such as privately negotiated transactions, or using a combination of these methods, and at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. See the disclosure under the heading “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of their Resale Shares hereunder.
You should carefully read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, as well as any documents incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, before you invest in any of the securities being offered.
No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of the Resale Shares in this offering. We have agreed to bear all of the expenses in connection with the registration of the Resale Shares pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will pay or assume all commissions, discounts, fees of underwriters, agents, selling brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the shares of Common Stock.
Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ADIL.” On August 26, 2026, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq was $5.94 per share. There is no established public trading market for any of the Merger Preferred Shares or Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop.
We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make an investment decision.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain predictive or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements that express our intentions, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “will,” “should,” “would” and similar words or expressions, or the negative of those words or expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections made by management about our business, our industry and other conditions affecting our financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties.
The section in this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and the sections in our periodic reports, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC, on March 5, 2026, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as other sections in this prospectus and the documents or reports incorporated by reference into this prospectus, discuss some of the other factors that could contribute to differences.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this document and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are made as of the date of this prospectus and the dates of the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Investors should evaluate any statements made by us in light of these important factors.

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference carefully, especially the risks of investing in our Common Stock discussed under and incorporated by reference in “Risk Factors” on page 6 of this prospectus, along with our consolidated financial statements and notes to those consolidated financial statements and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision..
Company Overview
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for serious inflammatory diseases, and the development of therapeutics for the treatment or prevention of addiction and related disorders. On June 11, 2026, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Azora, a biopharmaceutical company developing treatments for serious inflammatory diseases, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On June 12, 2026, we received approximately $24.3 million in net proceeds from the closing of the PIPE, which is in addition to the retirement of the $5.5 million of the Azora Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, with potential additional milestone closings (the “Milestone Closings”) in the future. The Merger brought Azora’s lead investigational candidate, AT177, into our pipeline.
Azora has historically focused on developing aryl hydrocarbon (“AhR”) receptor agonists to treat autoimmune diseases including ulcerative colitis. Following the Merger, our focus has shifted to the treatment of serious inflammatory diseases and our lead program is AT177 being studied for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (“UC”). AT177 is a fully synthetic, patented, oral AhR agonist designed to restore mucosal immune homeostasis at the site of disease with minimal systemic exposure. Its active ingredient is a prodrug of indirubin, the most potent AhR agonist within indigo naturalis, a botanical extract with best-in-category clinical efficacy in ulcerative colitis. AT177’s colon-targeted formulation delivers therapeutic AhR engagement directly to the colonic mucosa with exquisite gut restriction, minimizing the systemic AhR exposure associated with adverse effects. In preclinical studies, AT177 demonstrated robust local colonic AhR activation with markedly limited systemic exposure and superior colon-to-systemic selectivity compared to other AhR agonists in development. AT177 is currently in IND-enabling studies, with an investigational new drug filing planned for the second quarter of 2027, initiation of a Phase 1a single- and multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial planned to commence in the second half of 2027, followed by a Phase 1b proof-of-concept study in UC patients.
Merger, PIPE and Note Exchange
On June 11, 2026, we acquired Azora, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, in exchange for the capital stock of Azora outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, we issued to the former stockholders of Azora an aggregate of (i) 437,421 shares of Common Stock, which represented 19.99% of our Common Stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) 12,930.601 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, all options to purchase Azora common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 1,177,782 shares of Common Stock, the exercise of which is subject to stockholder approval. The Merger added Azora’s lead asset, AT177, a proprietary colon-targeted aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist in development for ulcerative colitis, to our pipeline.
1
In connection with the Merger and as a condition to closing, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, at the initial closing of the PIPE on June 12, 2026 (the “Initial Closing Date”), we issued and sold to the PIPE Investors PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $26.8 million, and agreed to issue and sell, at one or more Milestone Closings, pre-funded warrants (“Milestone Pre-Funded Warrants”) together with common warrants (the “Milestone Incentive Warrants” and, together with the “Milestone Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Milestone Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we agreed to guarantee the payment of the Azora Notes to the Former Azora Noteholders. In addition, we entered into Exchange Agreements with the Former Azora Noteholders to extinguish our payment guaranty and retire the Azora Notes in exchange for (i) Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the right to purchase, at one or more Milestone Closings, Milestone Warrants (the “Azora Note Exchange,” and together with the Merger and the PIPE, the “Transactions”).
In connection with the Transactions, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the several investors signatory thereto requiring us to prepare and file an initial registration statement within 80 days following the Initial Closing Date to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants. We are also required to hold a stockholders’ meeting to, among other things, seek approval of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the exercise of the assumed options and warrants issued or issuable in the transactions, and a change of control under Nasdaq rules.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, certain Company stockholders entered into support agreements to vote in favor of the meeting proposals, and certain Company and Azora officers, directors and stockholders entered into 180-day lock-up agreements, subject to specified exceptions.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreements, as promptly as practicable following the closing of the Merger, we are required to call and hold a meeting of our stockholders to obtain the requisite approval from our stockholders, in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, for, among other things, conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the exercise of the assumed options issued by the Company in the Merger, the exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants issued and any Milestone Warrants that may be issued by Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and/or the Exchange Agreements, and a change of control under Nasdaq rules (collectively, the “Required Company Stockholder Matters”). We have filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC to solicit approval of the Required Company Stockholder Matters, among other matters, at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. For more information on the Series A Preferred Stock, please refer to the Certificate of Designation, which is incorporated by reference herein and attached as Exhibit 3.6 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We have filed an initial Listing Application with Nasdaq. If the Required Company Stockholder Matters and the Nasdaq Listing Application are approved, it is expected that we will change our name to “Azora Therapeutics, Inc.” and our Common Stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AZR.”
In connection with the Merger, Dr. Davidson, Azora’s co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer, was appointed as our Chief Development Officer and as a member of our Board of Directors, and Dr. Julie Saiki was appointed Executive Vice President of Strategy. Our existing management team, including Cary J. Claiborne, our Chief Executive Officer, and Vinay Shah, our Chief Financial Officer, continues to lead the Company, and Wendy Young, Ph.D., formerly Senior Vice President of Small Molecule Drug Discovery at Genentech, was appointed to our Board of Directors as an independent director upon closing of the Merger.

Summary of Risks Related to this Offering
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth below. These risks include, among others, the following:
| ● | Resales of our Common Stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall. |
| ● | The number of shares being registered for resale is significant in relation to the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
| ● | We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock. |
| ● | Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices. |
| ● | An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained. |
| ● | Our share price may be subject to substantial volatility, and stockholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. |
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. Such reduced disclosure and corporate governance obligations may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We may be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company.

We also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to become effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Selling Stockholders have resold or otherwise disposed of all of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus and (ii) the date on which the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus no longer constitute “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement, such that they may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. We are filing this registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholders of the Resale Shares offered hereby. | |
| Terms of the offering | The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest will determine when and how they sell the Resale Shares offered in this prospectus and may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in privately negotiated transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution.” |

| Use of proceeds | The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of any Resale Shares sold by them pursuant to this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares; provided, however, that if any Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised for cash, we will receive the nominal exercise price. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 9 in this prospectus. |

Our business, results of operations and financial condition and the industry in which we operate are subject to various risks. Accordingly, investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus does not describe all of those risks. You should consider the risk factors described in this prospectus below, as well as those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
We have described below and, in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. New risks may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all potential risks or to assess the likely impact of all risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any amendment to this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below. See the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Resales of our Common Stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.
We are registering the Resale Shares for resale by the Selling Stockholders. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants could result in resales of our Common Stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable or convertible into Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.
The number of shares being registered for resale is significant in relation to the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.
We have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to register the shares offered hereunder for sale into the public market by the Selling Stockholders. These shares represent a large number of shares of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, and if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price of our Common Stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital.
We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock.
We may from time to time issue additional shares of Common Stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock. We have a substantial number of convertible securities outstanding. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, which may provide for the issuance of debt securities or shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other securities. Any future issuances of Common Stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of our Common Stock, including upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants or options, the vesting of restricted stock awards, would further dilute the percentage ownership of us held by holders of Common Stock and may have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of certain securities may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders of our Common Stock.
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase Resale Shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results.
An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained.
Although our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq, the market for our Common Stock has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our Common Stock may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares of Common Stock at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares of Common Stock and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to utilize our shares as consideration in any licensing or other collaboration transactions with third parties.
Our share price may be subject to substantial volatility, and stockholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.
Our Common Stock is currently traded on Nasdaq. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our Common Stock may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our Common Stock trades may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of sources of revenues, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS
The Merger
On June 11, 2026, we completed our acquisition of Azora in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, and Azora. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, First Merger Sub merged with and into Azora, with Azora surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and immediately thereafter Azora merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, in exchange for the capital stock of Azora outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger, we issued to the former stockholders of Azora an aggregate of (i) 437,421 shares of Common Stock, which represented 19.99% of our Common Stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) 12,930.601 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to stockholder approval and certain beneficial ownership limitations. In addition, all options to purchase Azora common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 1,177,782 shares of Common Stock, the exercise of which is subject to stockholder approval. The Merger added Azora’s lead asset, AT177, a proprietary colon-targeted aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist in development for ulcerative colitis, to our pipeline.
Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, but prior to giving effect to the PIPE and the Azora Note Exchange, and assuming the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement into shares of Common Stock without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations, pre-Merger equityholders of the Company held approximately 13.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and former equityholders of Azora held approximately 86.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis.
The Company has agreed to hold a stockholders’ meeting to submit certain matters to its stockholders for consideration, including approval of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, approval of the exercise of the assumed options, approval of the exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants, approval of the exercise of the Milestone Pre-Funded Warrants and Milestone Incentive Warrants that may be issued at Milestone Closings, approval of a change of control under Nasdaq rules and certain other related matters.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Azora entered into support agreements with certain of the Company’s officers and directors, solely in their capacities as stockholders, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the meeting proposals, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the support agreements. In addition, certain officers, directors and stockholders of Azora as of immediately prior to the Merger, and certain directors and officers of the Company as of immediately prior to the Merger, entered into lock-up agreements with the Company and Azora, pursuant to which each such person is subject to a 180-day lock-up on the sale or transfer of shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, held by such person at the Merger Closing, subject to certain exceptions.
The PIPE
On June 11, 2026, in connection with and as a condition to closing of the Merger, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, at the initial closing, PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.7489 per PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $26.8 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the closing were approximately $24.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Purchase Agreement also provides that, at one or more Milestone Closings, PIPE Investors may purchase Milestone Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock and Milestone Incentive Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock, at a combined price equal to $2.7489 per Milestone Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Milestone Incentive Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $26.8 million.
A milestone event will occur upon either (i) the Company’s public announcement that the first human has been dosed with AT177 in a Phase 1 clinical trial in a single ascending dose/multiple ascending dose study, or acceptance of the IND for AT177, or (ii) the achievement of a volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock equal to or greater than 400% of the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment, measured during any 10 consecutive trading days during any 30 trading-day period. Regardless of whether a milestone event has occurred, each PIPE Investor has the right to complete one or more milestone purchases at any time following the date of the Initial Closing and prior to the date that is 30 calendar days following delivery of the milestone event notice.
Each Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrant has, and each Milestone Pre-Funded Warrant will have, an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.001, will never expire until fully exercised and, subject to receipt of the applicable stockholder approval and certain beneficial ownership and other limitations, will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock. Each Milestone Incentive Warrant will have an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to the Purchase Price, will expire five years from the date of issuance and, subject to receipt of the applicable stockholder approval and certain beneficial ownership and other limitations, will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock.
7
The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants or Milestone Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, unless the holder elects a different limit of 9.99% or up to 19.99%, subject to the terms of the Warrants. Any increase to the beneficial ownership limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after the applicable notice is delivered to the Company.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, from the Initial Closing Date until the date that is ten business days following the later of (i) the Milestone Funding Period Expiration (or, if earlier, the date on which all PIPE Investors have (x) closed their Milestone Closing or (y) have lost their right to participate in a Milestone Closing) and (ii) provided that a resale registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Initial Closing Pre-funded Warrants is effective, the Shareholder Approval Date (as defined in the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrant), the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the PIPE Investors holding a majority of the then-outstanding pre-funded warrants issued to the PIPE Investors and the Former Azora Noteholders, issue shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share of Common Stock that is less than $4.25 (the “Minimum Issuance Price”). On August 12, 2026, the Company and certain of the PIPE Investors, constituting holders of a majority of the outstanding PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchase Agreement was amended to decrease the Minimum Issuance Price from $4.25 to $4.00.
Wendy Young, who was appointed as a director of the Company in connection with the Merger, participated in the PIPE and agreed to purchase Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 36,378 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 at the Initial Closing.
Lucid Capital Markets, LLC (“Lucid”) served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the PIPE pursuant to an engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”), dated April 23, 2026 and amended on June 11, 2026, entered into between the Company and Lucid, pursuant to which Lucid is entitled to receive (i) a cash fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Initial Closing of the PIPE, provided that Lucid is only entitled to receive a cash fee equal to 2.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from certain investors.
The Note Exchange
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Merger, we agreed to guarantee the payment of $5.5 million in principal amount of Azora Notes issued by Azora to the Former Azora Noteholders. On June 11, 2026, we entered into Exchange Agreements with the Former Azora Noteholders to extinguish the payment guaranty and retire the Azora Notes in exchange for Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock, and, as a result, the Azora Notes were deemed repaid in full and all outstanding obligations thereunder were extinguished.
The Former Azora Noteholders are entitled to participate in Milestone Closings to purchase Milestone Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock and Milestone Incentive Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock, at a combined price equal to the Purchase Price, on substantially the same terms as the PIPE Investors under the Purchase Agreement.
Post-Transaction Ownership
Following the consummation of the Initial Closing of the PIPE, the consummation of the Azora Note Exchange and the consummation of the Merger, assuming the full exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants, and further assuming the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Azora stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations, equityholders of Adial immediately prior to the Merger owned approximately 7.7% of Adial’s Common Stock, equityholders of Azora immediately prior to the Merger owned approximately 51.0% of Adial’s Common Stock and the investors in the PIPE, including the Azora Noteholders, owned approximately 41.3% of Adial’s Common Stock, in each case calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted-basis (and without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations) using the treasury stock method and based on the implied equity values of Adial and Azora.
Registration Rights
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the PIPE and the Note Exchange, and as a condition to closing of the Merger, on June 11, 2026, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the several investors signatory thereto. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed, as promptly as practicable following the initial closing of the PIPE, and in any event within 80 days following the Initial Closing Date, to prepare and file with the SEC an initial registration statement to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants issued or issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and issued to the Former Azora Noteholders pursuant to the Exchange Agreements.
We have also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the signatories to the Registration Rights Agreement and certain related persons under the registration statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses, excluding legal fees of the selling holders and any underwriting discounts and selling commissions, incident to our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
8
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares covered hereby by the Selling Stockholders. The net proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares offered by this prospectus will be received by the Selling Stockholders. If any Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised by the Selling Stockholders for cash, we will receive the nominal exercise price.
Subject to limited exceptions, the Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in disposing of any of the Resale Shares. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.
9
This prospectus covers the resale or other disposition from time to time by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 25,148,970 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (i) 437,421 Merger Common Shares issued to the former stockholders of Azora upon closing of the Merger, (ii) 12,930,601 Merger Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of 12,930.601 shares of Merger Preferred Shares issued to the former stockholders of Azora upon closing of the Merger; (iii) 9,749,345 Initial Closing Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants issued to the PIPE Investors; and (iv) 2,031,603 Initial Closing Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants issued to the Former Azora Noteholders. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Resale Shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.
Subject to stockholder approval, certain beneficial ownership limitations and other limitations, each Merger Preferred Share will be convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock.
Each Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.001, will never expire until fully exercised and, subject to stockholder approval, certain beneficial ownership limitations and other limitations, will be exercisable by the holder thereof for one share of Common Stock.
We are registering the Resale Shares to permit the Selling Stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive their shares after the date of this prospectus to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares in the manner contemplated under “Plan of Distribution” herein.
Except as otherwise disclosed herein, the Selling Stockholders do not have, and within the past three years have not had, any material position, office or other material relationship with us.
The following table sets forth the names of the Selling Stockholders; the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as of August 26, 2026 (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Merger Preferred Shares or exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants); the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus; and the number of shares of our Common Stock that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after this offering, assuming the exercise of all Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants and that all of the Resale Shares registered for resale hereby are sold by the Selling Stockholders.
The Resale Shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the Selling Stockholders, provided that Resale Shares may only be offered after the Merger Preferred Shares have converted into Merger Conversion Shares and the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised pursuant to their terms, as applicable. The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of their Resale Shares. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the Resale Shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the Resale Shares, except for pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation, the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreements and the Lock-Up Agreements, as applicable. For purposes of the table below, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders and further assumed that the Selling Stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of our Common Stock during the offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Resale Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.
Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage (to be established by the holder between 4.99% and 19.99%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, provided that following approval of the Nasdaq Listing Application and the Company Stockholder Matters, such beneficial ownership blockers may be waived by each holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon written notice to the Company to be effective on the 61st day following receipt of such notice. Additionally, shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted into shares of Common Stock unless and until stockholder approval of such conversion is obtained, which has not yet occurred. Solely for purposes of the table below, the number of shares included in the second and fourth columns and the percentage in the fifth column disregards the foregoing limitations on exercise.
10
Under the terms of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise its Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of derivative securities which have not been converted or exercised. Additionally, the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants may not be exercised by the Selling Stockholders unless and until stockholder approval of such exercise is obtained, which has not yet occurred. Solely for purposes of the table below, the number of shares included in the second and fourth columns and the percentage in the fifth column disregards the foregoing limitations on exercise.
The information set forth below is based upon information obtained from the Selling Stockholders and upon information in our possession regarding the issuance of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants in the PIPE and the Azora Note Exchange. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes our shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholders have sole or shared voting and investment power. The percentages of Common Stock owned after the offering by each Selling Stockholder below are based on 2,625,890 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 26, 2026, and, for each Selling Stockholder, assume the conversion of only the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of only the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants owned by such Selling Stockholder but not the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants owned by any other Selling Stockholder.

The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Resale Shares or interests in Resale Shares received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their Resale Shares or interests in Resale Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of Resale Shares or interests therein:
| ● | distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the selling stockholders; | |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| ● | short sales and settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; | |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Resale Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Resale Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the Resale Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the Selling Stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of Resale Shares or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Resale Shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Resale Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Resale Shares offered by them will be the purchase price of the Resale Shares less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Resale Shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. If any Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised for cash, we will receive the nominal exercise price.
31
The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Resale Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Resale Shares or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the Selling Stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the Resale Shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling Stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the Resale Shares to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Resale Shares may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Resale Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Resale Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the Resale Shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the Selling Stockholders to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to become effective and to remain continuously effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Selling Stockholders shall have resold or otherwise disposed of all the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus and (ii) the date on which the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus no longer constitute “Registrable Securities” as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, such that they may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.
There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the Resale Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), and amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
| ● | transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; |
| ● | act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| ● | unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or |
| ● | breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. |
Our Certificate of Incorporation includes such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery to it of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us.
II-1
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, that require us to indemnify such persons against any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’, witness or other professional fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including derivative actions), whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or is or was acting or serving as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any of our affiliated enterprises. Under these agreements, we are not required to provide indemnification for certain matters, including:
| ● | indemnification beyond that permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; |
| ● | indemnification for any proceeding with respect to the unlawful payment of remuneration to the director or officer; |
| ● | indemnification for certain proceedings involving a final judgment that the director or officer is required to disgorge profits from the purchase or sale of the our stock; |
| ● | indemnification for proceedings involving a final judgment that the director’s or officer’s conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct or a breach of his or her duty of loyalty, but only to the extent of such specific determination; |
| ● | indemnification for proceedings or claims brought by an officer or director against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents, except for claims to establish a right of indemnification or proceedings or claims approved by the our board of directors or required by law; |
| ● | indemnification for settlements the director or officer enters into without the our consent; or |
| ● | indemnification in violation of any undertaking required by the Securities Act or in any registration statement filed by us. |
The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
Except as otherwise disclosed in our filings with the SEC, there is at present no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrant’s directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and the Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
We have an insurance policy in place that covers its officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
Item 16. Exhibits and financial statement schedules.
See the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the signature page hereto for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-3, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| (a) (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” in the effective registration statement; and |
II-2
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| (A) | Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| (B) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
| (b) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (h) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Re: Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-3
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of the resale of an aggregate of 25,148,970 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), consisting of: (i) 437,421 shares of Common Stock (the “Merger Common Shares”) issued by the Company to the former stockholders of Azora Therapeutics, Inc. (“Azora”); (ii) 12,930,601 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 12,930.601 shares (the “Merger Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), issued by the Company to the former stockholders of Azora; (iii) 9,749,345 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”) that the Company issued to accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) in a private placement transaction on June 12, 2026, and (iv) 2,031,603 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants (the “Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants”) that the Company issued to the former convertible noteholders (the “Former Azora Noteholders”) of Azora on June 11, 2026 in exchange for the extinguishment of the payment guaranty and the retirement of the notes held by the Former Azora Noteholders in the principal amount of $5,500,000. The Merger Common Shares and the Merger Preferred Shares were issued to the former stockholders of Azora pursuant to that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 11, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Adial Merger Sub I, Inc., Adial Merger Sub II, LLC, and Azora. The PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants were sold and issued to the PIPE Investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June 11, 2026, by and among the Company and the PIPE Investors. The Noteholder Pre-Funded Warrants were issued to the Former Noteholders pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”), dated June 11, 2026, by and between the Company and the Former Azora Noteholders. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Merger Preferred Shares are referred to herein as the “Merger Conversion Shares” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants are referred to herein as the “Initial Closing Warrant Shares.” This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Certificate of Designation”); (iv) the Purchase Agreement; (v) the Exchange Agreements; (vi) the form of Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants; (vii) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company; (viii) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”); (ix) the amended and restated bylaws of the Company; and (x) such other corporate records, agreements, certificates, including, but not limited to, certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, statutes and other instruments and documents as we considered relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed without inquiry, (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (ii) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies; (iii) the legal capacity of all natural persons and the genuineness of all signatures on the Registration Statement and all documents submitted to us; and (iv) that the books and records of the Company are maintained in accordance with proper corporate procedures. We have also assumed that the Company will, at the time of any issuance of the Merger Conversion Shares and Initial Closing Warrant Shares have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation to so issue the relevant number of Merger Conversion Shares and Initial Closing Warrant Shares and that such Merger Conversion Shares and Initial Closing Warrant Shares will be issued for not less than the par value of the Common Stock.
We have also assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Securities Act and comply with all applicable laws and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded; and (ii) at the time of the issuance of the Merger Preferred Shares and Initial Closing Warrant Shares, the Company will be validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, exceptions and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
| ● | the Merger Common Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
| ● | the Merger Conversion Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
| ● | the Initial Closing Warrant Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Initial Closing Pre-Funded Warrants, including the payment of the exercise price therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. |
The opinions expressed herein are limited exclusively to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL and such provisions of the Delaware Constitution and we have not considered, and express no opinion on, any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction.
