Overview
MyMD is focused on developing and commercializing two therapeutic platforms based on well-defined therapeutic targets, MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD:
| ● | MYMD-1 is a clinical stage small molecule that regulates the immunometabolic system to treat autoimmune disease, including (but not limited to) rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. MYMD-1 is being developed to treat age-related illnesses such as frailty and sarcopenia. MYMD-1 works by regulating the release of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, interleukin 6 (“IL-6”) and interleukin 17 (“IL-17”). MYMD-1 currently is being evaluated in patients with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The company has significant intellectual property coverage to protect these autoimmune indications, as well as therapy as an anti-aging product. | |
| ● | Supera-CBD is a synthetic analog of CBD being developed to treat various conditions, including, but not limited to, epilepsy, pain and anxiety/depression, through its effects on the CB2 receptor, opioid receptors and monoamine oxidase enzyme (“MAO”) type B. |

Series F-1 Preferred Shares
The Series F-1 Preferred Shares rank (i) pari passu to Series G Preferred Shares and PIK Conversion Shares and (ii) junior to shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Certificate of Designations”), in each case, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of us. The Series F-1 Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.816 (the “Series F-1 Conversion Price”). The Series F-1 Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series F-1 Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The Series F-1 Conversion Price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series F-1 Preferred Shares, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
We are required to redeem the Series F-1 Preferred Shares in seven (7) equal monthly installments, commencing on December 1, 2024. The amortization payments due upon such redemption are payable, at our election, in cash at 105% of the applicable Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Series F-1 Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of our Common Stock during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of (x) $0.4506 and (y) 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date in which the Series F-1 Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) is obtained or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, which amortization amounts are subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations (the “Series F-1 Floor Price”).
We may require holders to convert their Series F-1 Preferred Stock into Series F-1 Conversion Shares if (i) the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $5.448 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days, (ii) the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock on the trading market exceeds three million dollars ($3,000,000) per trading day during the same period, and (iii) certain equity conditions described in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designation are satisfied on each trading day during the same period.
The holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears monthly in cash or shares of Common Stock at our option, in accordance with the terms of the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations), the Series F-1 Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series F-1 Preferred Stock is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series F-1 Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
| 4 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “Series F-1 Stockholder Approval”). We have agreed to seek stockholder approval of these matters at a meeting to be held no later than August 1, 2024. Further, the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock or as part of any amortization payment or dividend make-whole payment under the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
The Series F-1 Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events, including, among other things, our failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock when due. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series F-1 Preferred Stock will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series F-1 Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations.
Series G Preferred Shares
The Series G Preferred Shares rank (i) pari passu to the Series F-1 Preferred Shares and (ii) junior to shares of the Series F Preferred Stock issued and outstanding pursuant to the Series F Certificate of Designations, in each case, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of us. The Series G Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.816 (the “Series G Conversion Price” and, together with the Series F-1 Conversion Price, the “Conversion Price”). The Series G Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Series G Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). The Series G Conversion Price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. We have the option, at any time, to redeem in cash all or any portion of the Series G Preferred Shares then outstanding at a premium upon notice by us to all holders of the Series G Preferred Shares.
The holders of the Series G Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable in arrears monthly, at the Holder’s sole discretion, in cash or “in kind” in the form of additional Series G Preferred Shares (such Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such PIK Preferred Shares, the “PIK Conversion Shares”) at the holder’s option, equal to the quotient of the (A) dividend payable on such date and (B) the arithmetic average of closing prices of our Common Stock for each of the five (5) Trading Days before the applicable Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations); provided that such price shall not be lower than the price that equals the lowest of (x) $0.4506 and (y) 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date in which the Series G Stockholder Approval (as defined herein) is obtained or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market, and in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, which amortization amounts are subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations (the “Series G Floor Price”).
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations), the Series G Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of the Series G Preferred Shares are entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on as as-converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series G Preferred Shares is entitled to be calculated assuming a conversion price of $2.253 per share, which was the Minimum Price applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the Series G Purchase Agreement, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations as set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to settle conversions and make dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations, including a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards (the “Series G Stockholder Approval” and, together with the Series F-1 Stockholder Approval, the “Stockholder Approval”). We agreed to seek stockholder approval of these matters at a meeting to be held no later than August 1, 2024. Further, the Series G Certificate of Designations contains a certain beneficial ownership limitation, which applies to each Series G Investor other than PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (“Pharmacyte”), after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Shares or as part of any dividend make-whole payment under the Series G Certificate of Designations.
The Series G Certificate of Designations includes certain Triggering Events, including, among other things, our failure to pay any amounts due to the holders of the Series G Preferred Shares when due. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series G Preferred Shares will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series G Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to settle conversions and make amortization and dividend make-whole payments using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in each Certificate of Designations. Prior to receiving the Stockholder Approval, such limitations include a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards.

The exercise price of each Series F-1 Warrant and the number of Series F-1 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of Series F-1 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants will be increased proportionately. The exercise price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series F-1 Warrants, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The Series F-1 Warrants may be exercised for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants, the Series F-1 Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.
Series G Warrants
The Series G Long-Term Warrants are exercisable for Series G Long-Term Warrant Shares immediately, at an exercise price of $1.816 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series G Short-Term Warrants are exercisable for Series G Short-Term Warrant Shares immediately, at an exercise price of $1.816 per share and expire eighteen months from the date of issuance. The exercise price of each Series G Warrant and the number of Series G Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants are subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment to the exercise price, the number of Series G Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants will be increased proportionately. The exercise price may also be voluntarily reduced by the Company to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board at any time with the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series G Warrants, subject to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The Series G Warrants may be exercised for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Series G Warrants, the Series G Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as we have received the Stockholder Approval, we cannot issue any Warrant Shares if the issuance of such Warrant Shares (taken together with the issuance of any Conversion Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations) would exceed 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Private Placements, which amount is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which we may issue under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company” and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

| Common Stock to be Offered by the Selling Stockholders | Up to an aggregate of 473,841 shares of Common Stock, which are issuable to such selling stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares and Warrants. This amount is approximately equal to 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Private Placements, which amount is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which we may currently issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of Warrants under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval.
The terms of the Series F-1 Registration Rights Agreement require us to register the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Series F-1 Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Series F-1 Preferred Shares are convertible at the Series F-1 Conversion Price, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares set forth in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of Series F-1 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F-1 Warrants issued to the Series F-1 Investors (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Series F-1 Warrants set forth therein), in each case subject to the adjustments set forth in the Series F-1Certificate of Designations and Series F-1 Warrants.
The terms of the Series G Registration Rights Agreement require us to register the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of Initial Series G Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Initial Series G Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Initial Series G Preferred Shares are convertible at the Series G Conversion Price, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Initial Series G Preferred Shares set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations), (ii) 200% of the maximum number of PIK Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the PIK Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the PIK Preferred Shares are convertible at the Series G Floor Price, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the PIK Preferred Shares set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations), and (iii) 200% of the maximum number of Series G Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series G Warrants issued to the Series G Investors (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Series G Warrants set forth therein), in each case subject to the adjustments set forth in the Series G Certificate of Designations and Series G Warrants.
Additionally, we are registering 100% of the maximum number of Placement Agent Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants issued to the Placement Agents (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Placement Agent Warrants set forth therein).
If we obtain the Stockholder Approval, we intend to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to increase the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereunder to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements and to register shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued to the Placement Agents, or their respective designees. | |
| Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if such warrants are exercised for cash. We currently intend to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes. |
| Plan of Distribution | The selling stockholders named in this prospectus, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors-in-interest, may offer or sell the shares of Common Stock 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 may also resell the shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 19 of this prospectus for additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders. | |
| Nasdaq Capital Market Symbol | Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MYMD.” | |
| Risk Factors | Investing in our Common Stock involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. |
| 8 |
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference, you should carefully consider the risks discussed below and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, before making a decision about investing in our securities. The risks and uncertainties discussed below and in the documents incorporated by reference are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
The issuance of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus could significantly increase the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and thereby cause our existing stockholders to experience substantial dilution.
The shares of Common Stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus represent Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of our Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. As of June 18, 2024 there were 2,370,423 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (prior to any deemed issuance of any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares). If we are required to issue the maximum number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that are being registered hereunder, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after such issuance would represent approximately 120% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. As a result, an existing stockholder’s proportionate interest in us will be substantially diluted. The actual number of shares of Common Stock that we issue to the selling stockholders may be less than the aggregate number of shares covered by this prospectus.
| 9 |
The Series F-1 Certificate of Designations provides for amortization payments to be issued in the form of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price that varies with the trading price of our Common Stock, and each Certificate of Designations contains “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions applicable to the conversion price and the conversion price for voluntary conversions of Preferred Shares into Common Stock. These features may result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon conversions than if the conversions were effected at the conversion price in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Sales of these shares will dilute the interests of other security holders and may depress the price of our Common Stock and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
The Series F-1 Certificate of Designations for our Series F-1 Preferred Shares provides for the payment of amortization payments to the holder of our Series F-1 Preferred Shares in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option. If the Company elects to pay any dividends in shares of Common Stock, the conversion price used to calculate the number of shares issuable will equal to the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of our Common Stock during the thirty consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of (x) $0.4506 and (y) 20% of the Minimum Price on the Stockholder Approval Date or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market. In addition, each Certificate of Designations contains “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions applicable to the conversion prices used in voluntary conversions of Preferred Shares by the holders thereof and by the Company in paying any shares of Common Stock, which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price, as then in effect, to the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in subsequent offerings. If in the future, while any of our Preferred Shares are outstanding, we issue securities at an effective Common Stock purchase price that is less than the applicable conversion price of our Preferred Shares, as then in effect, we will be required, subject to certain limitations and adjustments as provided in each Certificate of Designations, to further reduce the relevant conversion price, which will result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon amortization payments to the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares in shares of Common Stock, which in turn will have a greater dilutive effect on our shareholders. The potential for such additional issuances may depress the price of our Common Stock regardless of our business performance. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of our Preferred Shares is outstanding.
Further, it is possible that we will not have a sufficient number of available shares to satisfy the conversion of the Preferred Shares or the amortization payments to the holders of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares in shares of Common Stock if we enter into a future transaction that reduces the applicable conversion price. If we do not have a sufficient number of available shares for any Preferred Shares conversions, we will be required to increase our authorized shares, which may not be possible and will be time consuming and expensive.
The Series F-1 Certificate of Designations provides for the payment of dividends in cash or in shares of our Common Stock, or a combination thereof, and we may not be permitted to pay such dividends in cash, which will require us to have shares of Common Stock available to pay the dividends.
Each share of the Series F-1 Preferred Shares is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 10% per annum of the stated value per share. The dividends are payable in cash, out of any funds legally available for such purpose, or shares of Common Stock in the case of an Installment Conversion (as defined in the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations). The conversion price used to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with an Installment Conversion is subject to reduction if in the future we issue securities for less than the conversion price of our Series F-1 Preferred Shares, as then in effect. This may have the effect of increasing the number of shares we would be obligated to issue in order to make an amortization payment in shares of Common Stock. We will not be permitted to pay the amortization in cash unless we are legally permitted to do so under Delaware law. As such, we may rely on having available shares of Common Stock to pay such amortization, which will result in dilution to our shareholders. If we do not have such available shares, we may not be able to satisfy our amortization obligations.
Substantial future sales or other issuances of our Common Stock could depress the market for our Common Stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market, including the issuance of shares or any shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, or the perception by the market that those sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline or could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the sale of equity and equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, or at all. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or Common Stock, which could also depress the market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Common Stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our Common Stock.
| 10 |
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our securities.
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 prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by the investors in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid to the selling stockholders. Our stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock under our stock incentive programs.
Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities.
The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.
We expect to require additional capital in the future in order to pursue our strategic goals, including in order to complete our planned and future pre-clinical and clinical development for MYMD-1 and Supera-CBD and potentially commercialize these product candidates. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it may be difficult to effectively realize our long-term strategic goals and objectives.
Our current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund the development of our product candidates through all of the required clinical trials to receive regulatory approval and commercialization. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses related to commercial launch, product sales, medical affairs, regulatory, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. If we cannot secure this additional funding when such funds are required, we may fail to develop our product candidates or be forced to forego certain strategic opportunities.
In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

All shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the accounts of the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes. The holders of the Warrants are not obligated to exercise their Warrants for cash, and we cannot predict whether holders of the Warrants will choose to exercise all or any of their Warrants for cash.

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed below and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer.
We have prepared this prospectus to allow the selling stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 473,841 shares of our Common Stock.
The Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, see “Private Placement of Preferred Shares and Warrants” above. We are registering the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. The selling stockholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares.
Relationships with the Selling Stockholders
Except for the ownership of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements and the Engagement Agreements, as applicable, and except as described below, in our periodic reports and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The Series F-1 Investors were party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and the Series F-1 Investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) Series F Preferred Stock convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series F Certificate of Designations of the Series F Preferred Stock, and (ii) warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment (“Series F Warrants”).
Information About Selling Stockholders Offering
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of Common Stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column (titled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering”) lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Shares and Warrants as of June 18, 2024, assuming conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants and any other warrants held by each such selling stockholder on that date, but taking account of any limitations on conversion and exercise set forth therein.
The third column (titled “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Sold Pursuant to this Prospectus”) lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the Warrants set forth therein.
The third, fourth and fifth columns (titled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering” and “Percentage of Common Stock Owned After Offering”) assume the conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants at the Conversion Price and the conversion of the PIK Shares at the Series G Floor Price and the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Because the conversion price of the Preferred Shares and the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
This prospectus covers the resale of approximately 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Private Placements, which amount is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which we may currently issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of Warrants under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval.

Additionally, we will register 100% of the maximum number of Placement Agent Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants issued to the Placement Agents (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of such Placement Agent Warrants set forth therein).
If we obtain the Stockholder Approval, we intend to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to increase the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereunder to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements and to register the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued to the Placement Agents, or their respective designees.

The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

We are registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the Preferred Shares and Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock, although we will receive the exercise price of any Warrants not exercised by the selling stockholders on a cashless exercise basis. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| ● | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
| ● | in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | 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; |
| ● | short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law |
The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
| 19 |
In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the securities by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling securities to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the securities or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of securities by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to such securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, estimated to be $150 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the securities will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Article IX of our Articles of Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Article IX of our Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability corporation, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. The Company shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board.
| II-1 |
Article VIII Section 8.01 of our By-laws provides that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as now or hereinafter in effect, any Indemnified Person, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
Article VIII Section 8.02 of our By-laws provides that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as now or hereinafter in effect, any Indemnified Person, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or actions brought by or in the right of the Company if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the 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.
| II-4 |
(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 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 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.
(6) 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 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.

We have acted as counsel for MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) by the Company which registers the resale by the holders thereof of 473,841 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Company’s newly designated Series F-1 convertible preferred stock (the “Series F-1 Preferred Shares”), shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of the Company’s newly designated Series G convertible preferred stock (“Series G Preferred Shares,” and, together with the Series F-1 Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”) and shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants (the “Warrants”), herein collectively as the “Securities.”
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as of the date hereof (“Company Charter Documents”); (ii) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto; (iii) Certificate of Designations of Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Series F-1 Certificate of Designations”), (iv) Certificate of Designations of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock of MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Series G Certificate of Designations,” and, together with the Series F-1 Certificate of Designations, the “Certificate of Designations”), (v) the Warrants; (vi) a specimen of the Company’s Common Stock certificate; (vii) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, and (viii) such other corporate records of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.
As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed below, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such documents, records, certificates, instruments or representations furnished or made available to us by the Company.
In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iv) that all agreements or instruments we have examined are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto, and (v) that all factual information on which we have relied was accurate and complete.
We have also assumed that (i) the Company will continue to be incorporated and in existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective; (iii) no stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus supplement will have been issued; (iv) a prospectus properly describing the Securities offered thereby will have been delivered to the purchaser(s) of the Securities as required in accordance with applicable law; (v) all Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement; (vi) any definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto and will be an enforceable obligation of the parties thereto; (vii) upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company Charter Documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance; and (viii) there will not have occurred any change in law or in the Company Charter Documents of the Company adversely affecting the Securities or the rights of the holders thereof.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (iii) the Common Stock underlying the Warrants, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions expressed herein are limited exclusively to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL and such provisions of the Delaware Constitution and we have not considered, and express no opinion on, any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction.

In giving such consent, we do not hereby 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.
