Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “NanoViricides” refer to NanoViricides, Inc.
We are a clinical stage company with our first drug ready to enter Phase II human clinical efficacy trial, having successfully completed Phase Ia/Ib human clinical safety and tolerability trial. Based on our nanoviricides™ platform technology, we also have several additional drug candidates in various stages of pre-clinical development, including IND-filing stage and late stage IND-enabling non-clinical studies. We have no customers, products or revenues to date, and may never achieve revenues or profitable operations.
We are engaged in developing a class of drugs, that we call nanoviricides™, using a platform technology based on the application of nanomedicine technologies to the complex issues of viral diseases. This approach enables rapid development of effective new drugs against a number of different viruses, that the viruses are highly unlikely to escape even as they evolve rapidly in the field, solving an important problem in attacking viruses. The virus evolution is known to generate viruses that escape the traditional antiviral approaches vaccines, antibodies and small chemical drugs.
2
Broad and Expanding Pipeline Based on the Nanoviricide Platform Technology – in Brief
Our powerful Nanoviricides Platform technology has enabled us to develop several drug candidates against a large number of different viruses that could be further improved into clinical drug candidates, thus building a very broad drug pipeline that may lead to exponential growth of the Company upon the approval of our first drug candidate. While our first drug candidate, NV-387, is now in human clinical trials, and another one, NV-HHV-1, is awaiting to go into the clinic, over the years we have developed more than ten drug candidates that, we believe, can be rapidly moved into the clinical stage, for nearly forty different antiviral drug development programs. Our progress to clinic is limited by our resources. We anticipate that once our first drug goes successfully through Phase I and Phase II clinical trials thereby proving our capabilities and our Nanoviricides Platform technology, the Company, assuming it acquires the necessary financings, could enter a phase of exponential growth and rapid clinical development of additional candidates thereby transforming the way viral infections are treated.
We have several drugs in our pipeline, enabled by our strong and extensive nanoviricide technology platform. Of these, NV-387 has completed a Phase Ia/Ib Clinical Trial in healthy subjects with no adverse events reported in both the single-dose and multiple-dose portions of the clinical trial, and we have now received a draft Phase I report that is in quality review from the CRO and the clinical trial manager, Karveer Meditech Pvt. Ltd. Absence of any reportable adverse events is considered an excellent indication that the drug is safe and well tolerated in the Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial.
Presently, our focus is on the two separate Phase II clinical trials for NV-387 for the treatment of (i) MPox Virus Infection, and (ii) Viral Acute and Severe-Acute Respiratory Infections (Viral ARI and SARI). We are preparing the clinical trial application for the Phase II MPox trial and we have already obtained preliminary approval from the regulatory ethics committee for the clinical protocol in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In addition, we have already developed a draft clinical protocol for the Phase II Viral ARI and SARI clinical trial that is now in planning stage.
We plan on further commercial development of NV-387 as a pediatric RSV treatment once additional resources to support the RSV clinical program become available. We plan on re-engaging our HerpeCide program and our HIV program when sufficient resources become available.
We also plan on further developing NV-387 for the treatment of smallpox as a biodefense application, via the US FDA “Animal Rule”. Our work in developing NV-387 for MPox is providing enabling datasets towards approval of NV-387 as a treatment for smallpox because both of these are orthopoxviruses. We are seeking non-dilutive funding for the development of NV-387 for smallpox, a bioterrorism threat.
Additionally, we believe that NV-387 may have effectiveness against many other viruses including viruses that do not have current treatments such as Henipaviruses (Hendra and Nipa viruses), filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses), other hemorrhagic viruses of interest to the Department of Defense, among others. NV-387 mimics Sulfated Proteoglycans that more than 90% of human pathogenic viruses utilize as the first landing site in causing an infection. We plan on seeking collaborations with labs that can broadly test our drugs against multiple viruses as well as non-dilutive funding for such developments.
We also have several additional pre-clinical drug development programs including NV-HHV-1 and related candidates for Herpes Simplex Viruses (HSV-1 that causes cold sores, and HSV-2 that causes genital ulcers), NV-HIV-1 and related candidates for HIV/AIDS, other candidates for Influenza viruses and Dengue viruses, that we plan to advance further towards clinical drug candidates as they progress further when financial resources become available. Thus, we have a strong and broad pipeline that is expected to continue to result in highly effective drug candidates against a number of viral diseases.
We are now at the stage of clinically harnessing the development of Modality 1 and Modality 2 nanoviricides drugs. To recap, Modality 1 drugs mimic Attachment Receptors and possess a very broad spectrum of antiviral activity that includes a large number of different types of viruses. Modality 2 drugs mimic Cognate Receptors and possess a very strong antiviral activity against a set of specific types of viruses. In both cases, the targeted viruses are highly unlikely to escape the drug by evolving variants. NV-387, a Phase II-ready clinical stage drug candidate, is an example of Modality 1 nanoviricides,whereas NV-HHV-1 and NV+HHV-2 are examples of Modality 2 nanoviricides.NV-HHV-1 has completed IND-enabling studies as a Skin Cream for the treatment of Shingles.
We have also continued R&D on Modality 3 nanoviricide drugs that promise potential cures for non-latency viruses. As examples of this technology, NV-387-Rp and NV-387-Ribvp have shown strong effectiveness against Coronaviruses and RSV in animal models respectively, and are expected to be highly active against a number of other viruses based on the known activities of their components. We plan on developing these Modality 3 potential cures of a number of viral diseases after the Modality 1 and Modality 2 drugs.
Overall, since our founding, we have worked on development of approximately 40 different indications of different viral diseases in a number of drug development programs. In the process, we have built an extensive library of both the (i) Nanoviricides Platform know-how and (ii) the actual synthesized chemical drugs.

REGISTERED DIRECT OFFERING OF SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK AND PRE-FUNDED
WARRANTS, AND CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON WARRANTS
On November 10, 2025, the Company and a certain institutional investor (the “Investor”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investor in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”): (i) 1,970,000 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $1.68 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,601,429 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $1.67999 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share, is immediately exercisable, and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. Also pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement offering (the “PIPE,” and collectively with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”), the certain Selling Stockholder named herein was issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 3,571,429 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase up to 3,571,429 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.
Under the Registered Direct Offering, the Common stock were issued to investors pursuant to a prospectus supplement, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2025, to the registration statement File No. 333-271706 (the “Registration Statement”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants were also being issued to investors pursuant to the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement. The Common Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholder in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Aggregate gross proceeds from the shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants amounted to $6.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fee and offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Series A Common Warrants are exercisable for $1.75 per share, beginning six months from the date of issuance and have a term of exercise equal to two years from the date of issuance. The Series B Common Warrants are exercisable for $2.00 per share, beginning six months from the date of issuance and have a term of five and one-half years from the date of issuance. The shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are being registered in this prospectus.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.
In connection with the PIPE offering, the Company agreed that within thirty (30) calendar days of such Agreement to file a registration statement providing for the resale by the investor of the Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days (ninety (90) days in the event the Commission elects to review the Resale Registration Statement) following the filing date of the Resale Registration Statement, and (b) keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until the investor no longer owns any Common Stock or Common Warrants.

7,142,858 shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder were previously issued to such Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated November 10, 2025. In connection with the Offering, we provided registration rights within that certain Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholder whereby we agreed to register for resale the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants sold in the Offering. We are registering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants in order to permit the Selling Stockholder to offer the Warrant Shares for resale from time to time.

| (3) | The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice Capital”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Selling Stockholder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022. |

The Selling Stockholder and any of their pledges, 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. The 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 Shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account; | |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| · | short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; | |
| · | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| · | through agreements between broker-dealers and the seller stockholder(s) to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
| · | any other method permitted by applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholder 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 Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (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 Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder 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 Stockholder 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).
The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares 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 Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
8
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholder 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 Shares 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 Stockholder 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 Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholder and have informed it 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).
Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the securities offered under this prospectus and any supplement hereto will be passed upon for us by Lucosky Brookman LLP, 101 Wood Avenue South, 5th Floor, Woodbridge, NJ 08830. Counsel for any underwriter or agents will be noted in the applicable prospectus supplement.

| Printing and Engraving Expenses* | $ | 1,500 | ||

| Item 15. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The Registrant incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnification may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with defending or settling such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
| · | Breach of director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; | |
| · | Act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| · | Unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or redemption of shares; or | |
| · | Transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; |
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant upon delivery to it of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held jointly and severally liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’, witness or other professional fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (including derivative actions), whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer or is or was acting or serving as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises. Under these agreements, the Registrant is not required to provide indemnification for certain matters, including:
| · | Indemnification for expenses or losses with respect to proceedings initiated by the director or officer, including any proceedings against the Registrant or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees and not by way of defense, with certain exceptions; | |
| · | Indemnification for any proceeding if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law; |
II-1
| · | Indemnification for the disgorgement of profits arising from the purchase or sale by the director or officer of securities of the Registrant in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute; or | |
| · | Indemnification for the director or officer’s reimbursement to the Registrant of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation previously received by the director or officer or payment of any profits realized by the director or officer from the sale of securities of the Registrant, as required in each case under the Exchange Act. |
The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. Except as otherwise disclosed in our periodic reports incorporated by reference herein, there is at present no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrant’s directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and the Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
The Registrant has an insurance policy in place, with a limited amount of coverage, that covers its officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
| Item 16. | Exhibits |
The exhibits required to be filed as a part of this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 17. | Undertakings. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% 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), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if 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 SEC 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, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
II-2
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that 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:
(i) 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
(ii) 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 the 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.
(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 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 of NanoViricides, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Please be advised that this firm is counsel to NanoViricides, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pertaining to the registration for resale of (i) 3,571,429 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”) upon the exercise of Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”)at an exercise price of $1.75 per share (the “Series A Warrant Shares”) and (ii) 3,571,429 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Series B Warrants,” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Series B Warrant Shares,” and collectively with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).
We hereby consent to your filing this opinion as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.3 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein and in the related prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
In our capacity as counsel to the Company in connection with the matters referred to above, we have also examined copies of the following: (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the By-laws of the Company, and records of certain of the Company’s corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; (ii) the Registration Statement, in the form filed with the Commission through the date hereof; and (iii) we have also examined such other documents and records, instruments and certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. As to certain facts material to this opinion, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and public officials, and such other documents and information as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such facts.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Warrant Shares, when issued upon the exercise of the underlying Common Warrants in the manner set forth therein and upon the Company’s receipt of payment of the agreed consideration therefor, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This opinion letter is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York (excluding the securities laws of the State of New York). We express no opinion regarding the Securities Act, or any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. This opinion letter is limited to the specific legal matters expressly set forth herein and is limited to present statutes, regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or regulations.
This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any person or entity other than the addressee hereof. Without our prior written consent, except in a legal proceeding regarding the contents hereof, this opinion may not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any report or document furnished to any person or entity. This opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is to be implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly so stated. We disclaim any requirement to update this opinion subsequent to the date hereof or to advise you of any change in any matter set forth herein.
| Very truly yours, | |
