Under this shelf registration process, we may sell shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock (including convertible preferred shares), warrants for equity securities, units and subscription rights comprised of any combination thereof from time to time in one or more offerings for up to an initial aggregate offering price of $50,000,000. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell securities from time to time and in one or more offerings as described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time that we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. However, no prospectus supplement will offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.

Our Company
Cosmos Holdings Inc. together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to collectively as “us”, “we”, or the “Company”) is an international healthcare group that was incorporated in 2009 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. On August 2, 2022, the Company filed a Fictitious Firm Name Certificate in Nevada to do business under the name Cosmos Health, Inc. and will seek shareholder approval at its annual shareholders meeting scheduled for December 2, 2022 to amend its Articles of Incorporation for the name change. Cosmos Health is engaged in the nutraceuticals sector through its own proprietary lines of products “Sky Premium Life” and “Mediterranation.” Additionally, the Company is operating in the pharmaceutical sector through the provision of a broad line of branded generics and over-the-counter (“OTC”) medications and is involved in the healthcare distribution sector through its subsidiaries in Greece and UK serving retail pharmacies and wholesale distributors. Cosmos Health is strategically focused on the research and development (“R&D”) of novel patented nutraceuticals and intellectual property (“IP”) and specialized root extracts as well as on the R&D of proprietary complex generics and innovative OTC products. Cosmos has developed a global distribution platform and is currently expanding throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Currently, the Company has offices and distribution centers through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Cosmos Holdings Inc., the parent company headquartered in Chicago, USA (ii) SkyPharm S.A., headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece; (iii) Decahedron Ltd., head-quartered in Harlow, United Kingdom; and (iv) Cosmofarm S.A., headquartered in Athens, Greece.
The Company’s cross-border pharmaceutical business serves wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies across the European Union (“EU”) through a network of two strategic distribution centers, one in Greece and one in the UK, as well as an additional warehousing facility. The Company focuses on leveraging its growing purchasing scale and supplier relationships to secure discounts and provide pharmaceuticals at reduced prices and on continuing to drive organic growth at attractive margins for its cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business.
The Company operates in the business of full-line pharmaceutical wholesale distribution and serves approximately 1,500 independent retail pharmacies and 40 pharmaceutical wholesalers in Greece region by providing brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and nutraceuticals. We invest in technology to enhance safety, distribution and warehousing efficiency and reliability. Specifically, the Company operates a fully automated warehouse system with three robotic systems, two ROWA™ types and one A-frame type, that ensure 0% error selection rate, accelerate order fulfillment, and yield higher cost-efficiency in our distribution center.
Taking into consideration the growing demand of various vitamins and nutraceuticals, the Company entered the market with its own brand of nutraceuticals: Sky Premium Life® (“SPL”). Our current business has provided us with access to wholesalers both from the sourcing and the sales division of our wholesale business. We sell our products to vendors that supply us with pharmaceutical products as well as to our clients to whom we currently sell pharmaceutical products. We serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of nutraceuticals in the European market. The development and manufacturing of our own line is assigned to a related party which operates according to our specifications and GMP protocols.

| Table of Contents |
Moreover, our nutraceutical products have penetrated several markets during 2021 and early 2022 through digital channels such as Amazon and Tmall. We focus on nutraceutical products because we foresee it as a relatively underpenetrated market throughout Europe with the potential of high growth opportunities due to its large market size and margin contribution as the demand for nutraceutical products is increasing globally.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On October 3, 2022, Cosmos Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with each holder of Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,238,256 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February 28, 2022, as described below. On October 20, 2022, each holder exchanged the existing warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) for new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase twice the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The New Warrants are exercisable at $0.12 per share for a seven-year period from the date of issuance. The Company agreed to register all of the Exchange Shares in a resale registration statement to be filed with the SEC within ninety (90) days from the Closing Date.
As additional consideration for the Exchange Agreement, the Company paid each Holder up to five hundred thousand ($500,000) U.S. Dollars, plus liquidated damages and interest paid by the Company to the Holders pursuant to a registration rights agreement relating to the initial registration of the shares underlying the Existing Warrants. The total liability amounts to $2,159,090 ($2,000,000 additional consideration plus $159,090 liquidated damages) and the Company has paid a total of $2,096,525 to the corresponding U.S. Holders up to the date of this registration statement. Thus, the remaining outstanding liability amounts to $62,565. As further consideration for the Exchange Agreement, all Holders shall have, in the aggregate, a thirty (30%) percent right of participation into all equity offerings in which there is a placement agent or underwriter for the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date. In the event that any Holder does not exercise its right of participation in any offering, the remaining Holders will not have the right to participate for more than its pro rata share.
On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with certain investors and the Company’s CEO, for a private placement of the Company’s securities (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 6,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series A Shares, at a price of $1,000 per share, and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, or the Warrants, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6,000,000. The Series A Shares are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock as determined by dividing the number of Series A Shares to be converted by the lower of (i) $3.00 or (ii) 80% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The holders of Series A Shares are not entitled to receive distributions in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary.
The Company filed its initial registration statement on May 25, 2022 and thus accrued for liquidated damages payable to the Holders in the amount of $187,970, calculated as described above, for both the late filing of the registration statement (event) and the 1st anniversary (30 days following the event date) of the event. Following the effective date of the Company’s registration statement, the Series A Shares conversion price was adjusted to $0.62152. The Company recorded a deemed dividend in the amount of $8,189,515 upon reducing the conversion price from $3.00 to $0.62152 which was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase to accumulated deficit.
The Warrants are exercisable to purchase shares of common stock at $3.30 per share, or 110% of the Series A Shares’ initial conversion price and will expire five and one-half years following the initial exercise date of the Warrants. The Company determined that the 2,000,000 warrants are additional value being distributed to the preferred stockholders and presented the warrants’ fair value of $5,788,493 as a deemed dividend in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As a condition to the closing of the sale, the Company’s common stock received conditional approval for listing and trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on February 28, 2022, under the trading symbol “COSM.” Concurrent with the issuance of the Series A Shares, the Company executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A Shares. The registration statement was declared effective on June 7, 2022. The Company was required to pay an aggregate of $187,970 in liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Series A Shares rank senior to all of the Company’s Common Stock and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. While the Series A Shares are outstanding, the Company may not amend, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Shares, create, or authorize the creation of, any additional class or series of capital stock of the Company (or any security convertible into or exercisable for any class or series of capital stock of the Company), including any class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks superior to or in parity with the Series A Shares, alter, amend, modify, or repeal its Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A Shares, increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Shares, any agreement, commitment or transaction that would result in a Change of Control, any sale or disposition of any material assets outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company, any material change in the principal business of the Company, including the entry into any new line of business or exit of any current line of business, and circumvent a right or preference of the Series A Shares. Any holder of the Series A Shares has the right by written election to the Company to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Series A Shares. Immediately upon effectiveness of a registration statement registering for sale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. As of October 25, 2022, an aggregate of 1,500 Series A Preferred Shares remained outstanding.

Risks Associated with Our Business and this Offering
|
| · | Our business and our ability to implement our business strategy are subject to numerous risks, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 under Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” You should read these risks before you invest in our securities. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to implement our business strategy. In particular, risks associated with our business include: |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We have a history of significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and our future profitability is uncertain. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may affect our ability to obtain future financing and may require us to curtail our operations. We will need to raise additional capital to support our operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Our revenues are concentrated in the distribution and sale of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, OTC medications and medical devices. When these markets experience a downturn, demand for our products and revenues may be adversely affected. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We do not have the financial resources necessary to successfully complete our drug product development program, marketing and certain acquisitions. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We are subject to various regulations and compliance requirements under both the European Union, the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”), the Hellenic Ministry of Health and other related regulatory agencies. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We face significant competition, including competition from larger and better funded pharmaceutical enterprises. |
| -8- |
| Table of Contents |
|
| · | We are exposed to potential product liability or similar claims, and insurance against these claims may not be available to us at a reasonable rate in the future. Additionally, discovery of safety issues with our products could create product liability and could cause additional regulatory scrutiny and requirements for additional labeling, withdrawal of products from the market, and the imposition of fines or criminal penalties. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We may be unable to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | If you purchase our securities in this offering, you may incur dilution. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively. Additionally, Grigorios Siokas, our Chief Executive Officer, owns approximately 23% of our outstanding shares of common stock and 88% beneficially owned upon conversion of his derivative securities, which may give him the ability to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Risks associated with doing business internationally, as well as international economic conditions, the global COVID-19 pandemic, other market disruptions, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and other acts of war, macroeconomic events, and inflation could negatively impact our business and operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | We have received a notice from Nasdaq of non-compliance with continued listing standards, which if we fail to comply with, our common stock could be delisted. |
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific risk factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and as described or may be described in any subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” as well as in any applicable prospectus supplement and contained or to be contained in our filings with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, or any applicable prospectus supplement. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of the value of your investment.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this document and the materials accompanying this document are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. Frequently, but not always, forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the future tense and by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “future,” “plans,” “continues,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the important factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act and in our other filings with the SEC, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
| -9- |
| Table of Contents |
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include operating expenses, research and development, and funding for pending or future acquisitions. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to a specific offering any intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of securities in that offering. We will have significant discretion in the use of any net proceeds. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of securities. We may invest the net proceeds temporarily until we use them for their stated purpose, as applicable.
We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:
|
| · | through underwriters or dealers; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | directly to purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | in a rights offering; |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
| · | through agents; |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | through a combination of any of these methods; or |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in a prospectus supplement. |
In addition, we may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.
Some or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell our securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at fixed prices or at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. We will include in the applicable prospectus supplement the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
If agents are used in an offering, the names of the agents and the terms of the agency will be specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment.
Dealers and agents named in a prospectus supplement may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify in the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters, dealers or agents and will describe their compensation. We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

| Table of Contents |
Underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in other transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If so indicated in a prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase securities pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. We may enter contracts with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutional investors. The obligations of any institutional investor will be subject to the condition that its purchase of the offered securities will not be illegal at the time of delivery. The underwriters and other agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of contracts.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may also sell the securities through agents designated by us from time to time. In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any sales of these securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.
At the Market Offerings
We may also sell the securities offered by any applicable prospectus supplement in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise.
Remarketing Arrangements
Securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future.
The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
General Information
We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the shares of Common Stock and shares of preferred stock to which any prospectus supplement may relate.
We have 400,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized of which 300,000,000 are shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 are shares of “blank check” preferred stock.
As of October 28, 2022, we had 84,184,905 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 415 stockholders of record. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various broker-dealers and registered clearing agencies.
Common Stock
The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, are declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors are authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time-to-time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have the number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
The ability to authorize “blank check” preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our Company.
It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our Common Stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of our preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things:
|
| · | Impairing dividend rights of our Common Stock; |
|
| · | Diluting the voting power of our Common Stock; |
|
| · | Impairing the liquidation rights of our Common Stock; and |
|
| · | Delaying or preventing a change of control without further action by our stockholders. |

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares
We have designated 6,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred (the “Series A Shares”), with a Stated Value of $1,000 per share. An aggregate of 6,000 Series A Shares were issued on February 28, 2022. As of October 28, 2022, there were 1,500 Series A Shares issued and outstanding. The Series A Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the lower of (i) $3.00 or (ii) 80% of the average VWAP for the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately following the effectiveness of the resale registration statement. On June 14, 2022, the Conversion Price was reset to $0.62152 per share. The Series A Shares rank senior to all of the Company’s Common Stock and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. While the Series A Shares are outstanding, the Company may not amend, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Shares, create, or authorize the creation of, any additional class or series of capital stock of the Company (or any security convertible into or exercisable for any class or series of capital stock of the Company), including any class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks superior to or in parity with the Series A Shares, alter, amend, modify, or repeal its Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A Shares, increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Shares, any agreement, commitment or transaction that would result in a Change of Control, any sale or disposition of any material assets outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company, any material change in the principal business of the Company, including the entry into any new line of business or exit of any current line of business, and circumvent a right or preference of the Series A Shares. Any holder of the Series A Shares shall have the right by written election to the Company to convert all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Shares. Immediately upon effectiveness of a registration statement registering for resale all of the Series A Shares, all outstanding Series A Shares shall automatically convert into Common Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. On July 29, 2022, the Company amended the Certificate of Designations of Rights and Preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to allow holders of Series A Shares the option to convert any portion of their Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock of the Company, notwithstanding the beneficial ownership limitation, which was revised.
Warrants
As of October 28, 2022, there were 2,243,000 Warrants issued and outstanding exercisable to purchase by the holders thereof of up to 21,481,657 shares of Common Stock.
Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time for a period of five and one-half years after their original issuance. The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional common shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.
Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of any pre-funded warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us with respect to any increase in such percentage.
Exercise Price. The exercise prices for the Warrants vary from $0.62152 to $3.30 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock, as well as, in the case of the Warrants, certain issuances of equity securities at an effective price per share lower than the then applicable exercise price per share.
Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.
Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including, with certain exceptions, any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.
Public Offering
On October 17, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a public offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of $7,500,000 of securities, consisting of (i) 62,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded Warrant in lieu of shares of Common Stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell one share of its Common Stock or a Pre-Funded Warrant and two Common Warrants for each share of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant sold at a unit price of $0.12. For each of 15,662,603 Pre-Funded Warrant sold in the Offering, the number of shares of Common Stock offered were decreased on a one-for-one basis.
Series A and Series B Common Warrants
Duration and Exercise Price
An aggregate of 62,500,000 Series A Common Warrants and 62,500,000 Series B Common Warrants were sold by the Company on October 20, 2022 as part of the Public Offering.
Each Common Warrant has an initial exercise price equal to $0.12 per share. The Common Warrants are immediately exercisable. One-half (the Series B Common Warrants) will expire on the seventh anniversary of the original issuance date and the other one-half (the Series A Common Warrants) will expire on the second anniversary date of issuance. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate proportional adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of Common Stock and the exercise price. The exercise price is subject to reset during the next twelve (12) months in the event of a reverse stock split.
Exercisability
The Common Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, within the earlier of (i) two trading days and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the standard settlement period with respect to the shares of Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the notice of exercise thereafter, payment in full for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder may not exercise any portion of the Common Warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with any such persons, would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided that a holder with a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99%, upon notice to us and effective 61 days after the date such notice is delivered to us, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation so long as it in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after exercise.
Cashless Exercise
If, at the time a holder exercises its Common Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants, which generally provides for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) (1) the volume weighted average price on (x) the trading day preceding the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” on a trading day or (y) the trading day of the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day, or (2) the bid price on the day of the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two hours thereafter, less (B) the exercise price, multiplied by (C) the number of shares of Common Stock the Common Warrant was exercisable into, with such product then divided by the number determined under clause (A) in this sentence.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Common Warrants. Rather, we will, at our election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, a Common Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Common Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon such transfer.
Trading Market
There is no trading market available for the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. We do not intend to list the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “COSM.”
Rights as a Shareholder
Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of the underlying shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Common Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our shares of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Common Warrants.
Fundamental Transaction
In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Common Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our shares of Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, in the event of a fundamental transaction, we or any successor entity will, at the option of the holder of a Common Warrant exercisable at any time concurrently with or within 30 days after the consummation of the fundamental transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement thereof), purchase the Common Warrant from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of consideration equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of such Common Warrant on the date of consummation of the fundamental transaction based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants. The consideration paid to the holder will be the same type or form of consideration that was offered and paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction; provided that if no such consideration was offered or paid, the holders of shares of Common Stock will be deemed to have received shares of Common Stock of the successor entity in such fundamental transaction for purposes of this provision of the Common Warrants.
Senior Convertible Notes
January 7, 2021 Subscription Agreement
As of June 30, 2022, we have outstanding unsecured convertible notes with an aggregate principal balance of $625,000 convertible into 518,403 shares of our Common Stock as of October 28, 2022. Information about the convertible notes is provided below.
Upon the consummation of a NEO listing, the total principal and accrued interest outstanding on the note will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 25% discount to the prices of the common shares sold in the financing to be conducted in conjunction with the NEO listing. In the event that a NEO listing is not consummated on or before October 31, 2021, the note holder will have the option, in part or in full, to have the note repaid with interest, or convert the note into Company common stock at a 25% discount to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the most senior stock exchange in North American on which the common shares are trading prior to conversion.
The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature and a derivative liability which is accounted for separately. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature’s intrinsic value on January 7, 2021 and determined that the embedded derivative was valued at $62,619 which was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital and is being amortized over the life of the loan. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $62,619 of the debt discount has been amortized. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability was $41,291 and $45,665, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $7,255 from the change in fair value of derivative liability as other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Convertible Promissory Note
On September 17, 2021 (the “Issue Date”), the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with an unaffiliated third party.

| Table of Contents |
The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature which is accounted for separately as of December 31, 2021. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature’s intrinsic value on September 17, 2021, at $294,000 which, together with the OID of $25,000 was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the life of the loan. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method. As a result of the adoption, on January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital of $294,000 and a decrease to accumulated deficit of $53,248. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $60,063 of the debt discount has been amortized. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued a principal balance of $525,000, had accrued $15,166 in interest expense, and had remaining debt discount of $258,938 which resulted in a net convertible note payable of $266,063. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, $294,000 of the debt discount was reduced and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and has been amortized. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued a principal balance of $525,000, had accrued $41,416 in interest expense, and had remaining debt discount of $5,744 which resulted in a net convertible note payable of $519,256.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “COSM.” On November 4, 2022, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.084 per share.

We are offering to sell, and are seeking offers to buy, the shares only in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus and the offering of the shares in certain jurisdictions or to certain persons within such jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to the offering of the shares and the distribution of this prospectus supplement outside the United States.

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements and related notes included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
In this prospectus, unless otherwise noted, the terms “the Company,” “Cosmos,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cosmos Holdings Inc. d/b/a Cosmos Health.
Overview
Cosmos Holdings Inc. (d/b/a Cosmos Health, Inc.) together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to collectively as “us,” “we,” or the “Company”) is an international healthcare group that was incorporated in 2009 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Cosmos Health is engaged in the nutraceuticals sector through its own proprietary lines of products “Sky Premium Life” and “Mediterranation.” Additionally, the Company is operating in the pharmaceutical sector through the provision of a broad line of branded generics and over-the-counter (“OTC”) medications and is involved in the healthcare distribution sector through its subsidiaries in Greece and UK serving retail pharmacies and wholesale distributors. Cosmos Health is strategically focused on the research and development (“R&D”) of novel patented nutraceuticals and intellectual property (“IP”) and specialized root extracts as well as on the R&D of proprietary complex generics and innovative OTC products. Cosmos has developed a global distribution platform and is currently expanding throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Currently, the Company has offices and distribution centers through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Cosmos Holdings Inc., the parent company headquartered in Chicago, USA (ii) SkyPharm S.A., headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece; (iii) Decahedron Ltd., head-quartered in Harlow, United Kingdom; and (iv) Cosmofarm S.A., headquartered in Athens, Greece.
The Company’s cross-border pharmaceutical business serves wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies across the European Union (“EU”) through a network of two strategic distribution centers, one in Greece and one in the UK, as well as an additional warehousing facility. The Company focuses on leveraging its growing purchasing scale and supplier relationships to secure discounts and provide pharmaceuticals at reduced prices and on continuing to drive organic growth at attractive margins for its cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business.
The Company operates in the business of full-line pharmaceutical wholesale distribution and serves approximately 1,500 independent retail pharmacies and 40 pharmaceutical wholesalers in Greece region by providing brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and nutraceuticals. We invest in technology to enhance safety, distribution and warehousing efficiency and reliability. Specifically, the Company operates a fully automated warehouse system with three robotic systems, two ROWA™ types and one A-frame type, that ensure 0% error selection rate, accelerate order fulfillment, and yield higher cost-efficiency in our distribution center.
Taking into consideration the growing demand of various vitamins and nutraceuticals, the Company entered the market with its own brand of nutraceuticals: Sky Premium Life® (“SPL”). Our current business has provided us with access to wholesalers both from the sourcing and the sales division of our wholesale business. We sell our products to vendors that supply us with pharmaceutical products as well as to our clients to whom we currently sell pharmaceutical products. We serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of nutraceuticals in the European market. The development and manufacturing of our own line is assigned to a related party which operates according to our specifications and GMP protocols.
Moreover, our nutraceutical products have penetrated several markets during 2021 and early 2022 through digital channels such as Amazon and Tmall. We focus on nutraceutical products because we foresee it as a relatively underpenetrated market throughout Europe with the potential of high growth opportunities due to its large market size and margin contribution as the demand for nutraceutical products is increasing globally.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the specific risk factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Item 1A.

For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Relating to this Offering
We may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you or other stockholders may not approve.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include operating expenses, research and development expenditures, and the balance, if any, for pending and future acquisitions. This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors or assets that we may opportunistically identify and seek to license or acquire or any collaborations that we may enter into with third parties for our product candidates, and any unforeseen cash needs. Because the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock. See “Use of Proceeds.”
You may experience dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share of common stock in this offering. We may sell shares of common stock or other securities in any other offering at a price per share of common stock that is less than the price per share of common stock paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares of common stock or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share of common stock at which we sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share of common stock paid by investors in this offering.
| S-8 |
| Table of Contents |
The shares of common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market” offerings, and investors who buy shares of common stock at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and numbers of shares of common stock sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares of common stock as a result of common stock sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The actual number of shares of common stock we will sell under the sales agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to A.G.P. at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares of common stock that are sold by A.G.P. after we deliver a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the shares of common stock during the sales period and limits we set with A.G.P. Because the price per share of common stock of each share of common stock sold will fluctuate based on the market price of shares of common stock representing our shares of common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares of common stock that will be ultimately issued.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include operating expenses, research and development expenditures, and the balance, if any, for pending and future acquisitions.
The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the net proceeds from this offering. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.
MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is presently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “COSM”. On November 4, 2022, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.084.
Holders of Common Stock
As of October 28, 2022, we had 84,184,905 shares outstanding for common stock. We had 415 registered holders of record of our common stock. A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are “street name” or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held through banks, brokers, other financial institutions and registered clearing agencies.
We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock to date and do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our accumulated deficit currently limits our ability to pay cash dividends.

We have entered into the sales agreement with A.G.P. under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time up to $50,000,000 to or through A.G.P., acting as our sales agent. The sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement will be made at market prices by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker.
Each time that we wish to issue and sell shares of our common stock under the sales agreement, we will provide A.G.P. with a placement notice describing the amount of shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the amount of shares of common stock that may be sold in any single day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made or any minimum price requested for sales in a given time period and any other instructions relevant to such requested sales. Upon receipt of a placement notice, A.G.P., acting as our sales agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market, to sell shares of our common stock under the terms and subject to the conditions of the placement notice and the sales agreement. We or A.G.P. may suspend the offering of common stock pursuant to a placement notice upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Settlement for sales of common stock, unless the parties agree otherwise, will occur on the second trading day following the date on which any sales are made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and A.G.P. may agree upon.
We will pay A.G.P. commissions for its services in acting as our sales agent in the sale of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement. A.G.P. will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock on our behalf pursuant to the sales agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse A.G.P. for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel) in an amount not to exceed $50,000.
We estimate that the total expenses for this offering, excluding compensation payable to A.G.P. and certain expenses reimbursable to A.G.P. under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $100,000. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such common stock.
Because there are no minimum sale requirements as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering price, commissions and net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The actual dollar amount and number of shares of common stock we sell through this prospectus supplement will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and our capital raising requirements.
We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through A.G.P. under the sales agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to A.G.P. in connection with the sales of common stock under the sales agreement.
In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to A.G.P. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
A.G.P. will not engage in any market making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. As our sales agent, A.G.P. will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our common stock.

On the other hand, A.G.P. may terminate the sales agreement under the circumstances specified in the sales agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving 10 days prior notice to us.

This prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by A.G.P., and A.G.P. may distribute this prospectus supplement electronically.
The validity of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement will be passed upon by Davidoff Hutcher and Citron LLP, New York, New York. A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners is being represented in connection with this offering by Ballard Spahr LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
We have not entered into separate indemnification agreements with any of our directors or officers. The Nevada Revised Statutes provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director or officer must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful.
Under applicable sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined the officer or director did not meet the standards.
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws include certain indemnification provisions under which we are required to indemnify any of our current or former directors or officers against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him or them including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment inactive criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is or they are made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director of the Company. In addition, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the no director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer; provided, however, that these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of the law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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 a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(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 (a)1(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and 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.
| II-9 |
| Table of Contents |
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

| Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-267550) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Cosmos Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the sale of up to 21,297,788 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock is being offered and sold by the Company under this registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act in connection with the prospectus forming a part of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (No. 333-267550), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2022 by the Company (such registration statement as amended and supplemented), the “Registration Statement” and the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”).
In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto will have become effective, and the Common Stock will be sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus relating thereto.
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate.
As to matters of fact relevant to the opinion expressed herein, and as to factual matters arising in connection with our examination of corporate documents, records and other documents and writings, we relied upon certificates and other communications of corporate officers of the Company, without further investigation as to the facts set forth therein.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock to be issued by the Company has been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and paid for, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.
The foregoing opinion is limited in all respect to the facts as they currently exist and the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada (including the applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we do not express any opinions as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We assume no obligations to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretation thereof or such facts.
We hereby consent to the statements with respect to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.
| Very truly yours, | |||
