The selling stockholders named in this prospectus may use this prospectus to offer and resell from time to time up to 5,497,878 shares of our common stock, which are the shares of common stock currently outstanding and shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by the selling stockholders (the “Shares”). These shares of common stock consist of:

However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Series B Warrants, January 2021 Warrants, February 2021 Warrants and Palladium Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes. Any shares of common stock subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and acquired by the selling stockholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus, and any of their, pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may offer or resell the Shares from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of Shares. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, see “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 15 of this prospectus.
Effective as of 4:02 pm Eastern Time on December 30, 2020, we filed an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio of one share for four shares. All share and per share prices in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and the stock dividend.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. These statements 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 be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Numerous factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, including, among other things:
| ● | the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our ongoing and planned clinical trials; | |
| ● | the geographic, social and economic impact of COVID-19 on our ability to conduct our business and raise capital in the future when needed; | |
| ● | delays in planned clinical trials; the ability to establish that potential products are efficacious or safe in preclinical or clinical trials; | |
| ● | the ability to establish or maintain collaborations on the development of therapeutic candidates; | |
| ● | the ability to obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals to market potential products; | |
| ● | the ability to obtain future funding for developmental products and working capital and to obtain such funding on commercially reasonable terms; | |

We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein and, including from the 10-K, particularly in the “Risk Factors” sections of these documents, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.
You should read this prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein represent our views as of the date of this prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

The following summary of our business highlights some of the information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, however, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, which are described under “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” in this prospectus. You should also carefully consider the matters discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” and under similar sections of periodic reports incorporated herein by reference.
In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company” and “Enveric” refer to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We were previously known as AMERI Holdings, Inc. (“Ameri”). Following the completion of our offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Jay Pharma, Inc. on December 30, 2020, we changed the name of our company from AMERI Holdings, Inc. to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. For more detail on the transaction with Jay Pharma, Inc. and related transactions, see section titled “Recent Development” below.
Company Overview
We are an early-development-stage biosciences company that is seeking to develop innovative, evidence-based prescription products and combination therapies containing cannabinoids to address unmet needs in cancer care. We seek to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, initially by developing palliative and supportive care products for persons suffering from certain side effects of cancer and cancer treatment such as pain or skin irritation. We currently intend to offer such palliative and supportive care products in the United States, following approval through established regulatory pathways.
We are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid combination therapies for hard-to-treat cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and several other indications which are currently being researched.
We intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians and researchers, academic and industry partners so as to develop both external proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients. We intend to evaluate options to out-license our proprietary technology as we move along the regulatory pathway instead of building a small targeted selling organization and will potentially utilize a hybrid approach based on the indication and the results.
In developing our product candidates, we intend to focus solely on cannabinoids derived from hemp and synthetic materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in order to comply with U.S. federal regulations. Of the potential cannabinoids to be used in therapeutic formulations, THC, which is responsible for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can result in undesirable mood effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, are not psychotropic and are therefore more attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice. In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain THC; however, we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal. These product candidates will then be studied through a typical FDA drug approval process.

Our pipeline of product candidates and key ongoing development programs are shown in the tables below:

Closing of the Tender Offer
On December 30, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Tender Offer Support Agreement and Termination of Amalgamation Agreement dated August 12, 2020, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Support Agreement and Termination of Amalgamation Agreement dated December 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Tender Agreement”), by and among us, Jay Pharma Inc., a Canada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Jay Pharma”), and certain other signatories thereto, we completed a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay. Following the effective time of the Offer, we changed the name of our company from AMERI Holdings, Inc. to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. and effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock. Immediately following completion of the Offer and the transactions contemplated in the Tender Agreement, but without giving effect to the issuance of the Series B Warrants (as defined below), (i) the former Jay Pharma equity holders (including certain investors in private placements that closed prior to the completion of the Offer) owned approximately 82.3% of the Company; (ii) former Ameri equity holders owned approximately 14.5% of the Company; and (iii) a financial advisor to Jay Pharma and Ameri owned approximately 3.2% of the Company.
The common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, previously trading through the close of business on December 30, 2020 under the ticker symbol “AMRH,” commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on a post-reverse stock split adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol “ENVB” on December 31, 2020.
Closing of Spin-Off
As previously reported, on January 10, 2020, Ameri and Ameri100 Inc. (“Private Ameri”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Ameri Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Ameri agreed to contribute, transfer and convey to Private Ameri all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the existing subsidiaries of Ameri, constituting the entire business and operations of Ameri and its subsidiaries, and wherein Private Ameri agreed to assume the liabilities of such subsidiaries (the “Spin-Off”).
On December 30, 2020, pursuant to the Ameri Share Purchase Agreement, Ameri consummated the Spin-Off and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock of Ameri (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) were redeemed for an equal number of shares of Series A preferred stock of Private Ameri (“Private Ameri Preferred Stock”). Ameri contributed, transferred and conveyed to Private Ameri all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the existing subsidiaries of Ameri, constituting the entire business and operations of Ameri and its subsidiaries, and Private Ameri assumed the liabilities of such subsidiaries.

Series B Warrants
Pursuant to the Tender Agreement, on December 31, 2020, we issued Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase 1,791,923 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 to Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”). We are obligated, among other things, to file a registration statement with SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants by the investors. This prospectus is part of that required registration statement. The issuance of the Series B Warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. As described below under “Letter Agreement with Alpha”, on January 12, 2021, we have waived the lock-up restrictions on Alpha with respect to dispositions of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrant Shares”), and Alpha agreed to limit its sales of shares of our common stock on each trading day to no more than 10% of the daily reported trading volume of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for such trading day, provided, such limitation shall terminate if the closing price of our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market exceeds $5.29 per share for five consecutive trading days.
Director and Officer Resignations and Appointments
Effective upon completion of the Offer, Srinidhi “Dev” Devanur, our former Executive Chairman and a former director of the board of directors, Brent Kelton, our former Chief Executive Officer, Barry Kostiner, our former Chief Financial Officer, Carmo Martella, a former director of the board of directors, Thoranath Sukumaran, a former director of the board of directors and Dimitrios Angelis, a former director of the board of directors, all tendered their resignations from their respective positions as officers and directors of our company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Agreement, the board of directors appointed David Johnson, George Kegler, Sol Mayer and Marcus Schabacker to the board of directors at the effective time of the Offer.
Effective upon the completion of the Offer, the board of directors appointed David Johnson as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Avani Kanubaddi as our Chief Operating Officer, John Van Buiten as our Chief Financial Officer, and Robert Wilkins as our Chief Medical Officer.
On December 29, 2020 at the special meeting of Ameri stockholders held to approve the Tender Agreement, the shareholders ratified the Bonus Shares Proposal, resulting in the issuance of shares previously awarded by Ameri’s board of directors to Mr. Devanur, Mr. Kelton, Mr. Kostiner and Brandon Gordon, our Executive Vice President, Business Development in lieu of cash bonuses, with a total of 156,318 post-split shares being awarded on December 30, 2020.
Of these shares, 67,635 had originally been awarded, subject to Ameri’s shareholders’ approval, on January 9, 2020, representing aggregate bonus payments of $675,000 divided by a price of $9.98, the closing price on the day immediately preceding board approval. A further 88,683 shares had been awarded, subject to Ameri’s shareholders’ approval, and subject to continued service through the end of 2020, on October 19, 2020, represent aggregate bonus payments of $525,000 divided by a price of $5.92, the closing price on the day immediately preceding board approval, resulting in a total of 156,318 shares granted to officers and directors,
The issuance of these shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
In connection with the Tender Agreement, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and adopted amended and restated bylaws on December 30, 2020. For additional information regarding our organizational documents, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021.

Delisting of Ameri Warrants
On December 30, 2020, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that our listed warrants (the “AMRHW Warrants”) would be suspended from listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. A Form 25-NSE was filed with the SEC on December 30, 2020, which removed the AMRHW Warrants from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The terms of the AMRHW Warrants are not affected by the delisting, and the AMRHW Warrants may still be exercised in accordance with their terms to purchase common stock of the Company.
The listing of the common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ENVB, is not affected by the delisting of the AMRHW Warrants.
Change in Certifying Accountant
On January 5, 2021, our Audit Committee of the board of directors approved the dismissal of Ram Associates, CPA (“Ram”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective December 31, 2020, and engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020. Prior to the completion of the Offer, Marcum served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Jay Pharma, and we believe the change in auditors will be more efficient for reporting purposes.
January 2021 Registered Direct Offering
On January 12, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with Alpha, The Hewlett Fund LP, Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B (“Alto”), Iroquois Master Fund Ltd., Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC and Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd (collectively, the “Subsequent Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering (the “January 2021 Direct Offering”) an aggregate of 2,221,334 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $4.5018 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000 before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. Under the January 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Subsequent Investors could choose to purchase pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) in lieu of shares of Common Stock. The offering closed on January 14, 2021.
The Pre-funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of a Pre-funded Warrant may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Pre-funded Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.
The shares, the Pre-funded Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrant Shares”) were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233260), previously filed with the SEC on August 14, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on November 19, 2019.
Pursuant to the January 2021 Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “January 2021 Private Placement”) that also closed on January 14, 2021, the Company issued to the Subsequent Investors, unregistered warrants to purchase up to 1,666,018 shares of Common Stock (the “January 2021 Warrants”). The January 2021 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate five years following issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.9519 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. A holder of January 2021 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its January 2021 Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
| 6 |
The January 2021 Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the January 2021 Warrants (the “January 2021 Warrant Shares”) were not registered under the Securities Act, were not offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder as a transaction by the issuer not involving a public offering.
To induce the Subsequent Investors into the January 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated January 12, 2021 (the “January Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Subsequent Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission this Registration Statement to register for resale of all of the January 2021 Warrant Shares.
Letter Agreement with Alpha
On January 12, 2021 we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Alpha. Under the Letter Agreement, (i) we agreed to register 1,791,923 of the Series B Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Series B Warrants, (ii) the Series B Warrant Shares will not be subject to an existing lock-up agreement between us and Alpha, and Alpha will no longer be subject to any limitations on its ability to dispose of the Series B Warrant Shares that are imposed by us to the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations, (iii) Alpha agreed to limit its sales of common stock on each trading day to no more than 10% of the daily reported trading volume of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for such trading day, provided, such limitation shall terminate if the closing price of our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market exceeds $5.29 per share for five consecutive trading days and (iv) we will be free to waive the terms and conditions of any lock-up agreement between us and any of the former shareholders of Jay Pharma Inc. without the consent of, or notice to, Alpha once this registration statement registering the Series B Warrant Shares is declared effective by the SEC.
February 2021 Registered Direct Offering
On February 8, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with the Subsequent Investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering (the “February 2021 Direct Offering”) an aggregate of 3,007,026 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $4.27 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $12,800,000 before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. The offering closed on February 11, 2021.
The shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233260), previously filed with the SEC on August 14, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on November 19, 2019.
Pursuant to the February 2021 Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “February 2021 Private Placement”) that also closed on February 11, 2021, the Company issued to the Subsequent Investors, unregistered warrants to purchase up to 1,503,513 shares of Common Stock (the “February 2021 Warrants”).

A holder of February 2021 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its February 2021 Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
The February 2021 Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the February 2021 Warrants (the “February 2021 Warrant Shares”) were not registered under the Securities Act, were not offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder as a transaction by the issuer not involving a public offering.
To induce the Subsequent Investors into the February 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated February 8, 2021 (the “February Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Subsequent Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission this Registration Statement to register for resale of all of the February 2021 Warrant Shares.

Palladium Warrants
In connection with its role as financial advisor to the Company in the January 2021 Direct Offering, the January 2021 Private Placement, the February 2021 Direct Offering and the February 2021 Private Placement, the Company issued Palladium 155,493 warrants with an exercise price of $4.9519 and 210,492 warrants with an exercise price of $4.90 (the “Palladium Warrants”) on February 11, 2021. The Palladium Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Palladium Warrants (the “Palladium Warrant Shares”) were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder as a transaction by the issuer not involving a public offering.
Reverse Stock Split
Effective as of 4:02 pm Eastern Time on December 30, 2020, we filed an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio of one share for four shares. The net result of the reverse stock split was a 1-for-4 reverse stock split. We made proportionate adjustments to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, restricted stock units (if any) and warrants outstanding as of the effective times of the reverse stock split in accordance with the terms of each security based on the split ratio. Also, we reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans proportionately based on the split ratios. Except for adjustments that resulted from the rounding up of fractional shares to the next whole share, the reverse stock split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not change any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in our company. All share and related option and warrant information presented in this prospectus have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares outstanding and the increase in share price which resulted from these actions; however, common stock share and per share amounts in certain of the documents incorporated by reference herein have not been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
Company Information
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a shell company immediately prior to the completion of a “reverse merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, whereby Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, was merged with and into Ameri and Partners Inc. (“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “2015 Merger”). As a result of the 2015 Merger, Ameri and Partners became Ameri’s wholly owned subsidiary with Ameri and Partners’ former stockholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of Ameri common stock. The 2015 Merger was consummated under Delaware law pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 26, 2015 (the “2015 Merger Agreement”), and in connection with the 2015 Merger, Ameri changed its name to AMERI Holdings, Inc. Ameri did business under the brand name “Ameri100”. Ameri Holdings, Inc., along with its eleven operating subsidiaries, provided SAP cloud, digital and enterprise services to clients worldwide. The Ameri Holdings, Inc. business ceased to be part of the Company on December 30, 2020, pursuant to the Spin-Off. On December 30, 2020, we completed the Offer and changed our name to “Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” Our principal corporate office is located at Enveric Biosciences, Inc., 4851 Tamiami Trail N, Suite 200, telephone (239) 302-1707. Our internet address is https://www.enveric.com/, and the information included in, or linked to our website is not part of this prospectus.

Information About Selling Stockholder Offering
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to certain selling stockholders, and those issuable to other selling stockholders, upon exercise of the Warrants. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of April 1, 2021, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to certain selling stockholders as described under “Bonus Shares” and “Dakar Settlement Shares” below and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the applicable registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Warrants a selling stockholder may not exercise the 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 warrantholder, 9.99%) of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The selling stockholders named in the table below may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement up to 5,497,878 shares of common stock. This reflects the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the Warrants are exercisable, the Bonus Shares and the Dakar Settlement Shares.

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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; | |
| ● | settlement of short sales made after the effective date of the registration statement; | |
| ● | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; | |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities 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 the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities 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 create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
| 15 |
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify certain of the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Haynes and Boone, LLP, New York, New York.
The financial statements of Enveric as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 incorporated by reference into this prospectus have been audited by Marcum LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended to date (the “Bylaws”), and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). This description is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Article IX of the Certificate of Incorporation and Article VIII of the Bylaws eliminate the personal liability of directors to the Company or the Company’s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL.
Indemnification and Insurance
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, Article VIII of the Bylaws grants the Company’s directors and officers a right to indemnification for all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement relating to civil, criminal, administrative or investigative actions, suits or proceedings to which they are a party (1) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or (2) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
In addition, Article VIII of the Bylaws provides that directors and officers therein described shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and if the DGCL is subsequently amended to expand further the indemnification or advancements permitted, then the Company shall indemnify such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws authorize the Company to purchase insurance for any director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company shall have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the Certificate of Incorporation. The Company intends to maintain insurance coverage for its officers and directors as well as insurance coverage to reimburse the Company for potential costs of its corporate indemnification of directors and officers.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware would permit indemnification.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 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.
| 21 |
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(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 of 1933 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) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant 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;
(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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability of the registrant 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.
(c) 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
