PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference carefully, especially the risks of investing in our Common Stock discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this prospectus.
Overview
Monopar Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with late-stage ALXN-1840 for Wilson disease, and radiopharma programs including Phase 1-stage MNPR-101-Zr for imaging advanced cancers, and Phase 1a-stage MNPR-101-Lu and late preclinical-stage MNPR-101-Ac225 for the treatment of advanced cancers.
On October 23, 2024, we obtained an exclusive worldwide license for the development and commercialization of ALXN-1840, a drug candidate for Wilson disease, from the Selling Stockholder. As part of the consideration for the license, we agreed to issue shares of our Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder. For a detailed description of the transactions with the Selling Stockholder, see the section entitled “Selling Stockholder” in this prospectus. We filed the registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations under our agreement with the Selling Stockholder and to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholder of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of relief from certain reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| ● | reduced obligations with respect to financial data, including presenting only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of selected financial data in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein; |
| ● | an exception from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| ● | reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
We will remain an emerging growth company until December 31, 2024, the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to a U.S. registration.
The JOBS Act also permits us, as an emerging growth company, to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with the new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies and thereby allow us to delay the adoption of those standards until those standards would apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to waive this exemption and therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure.

We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company in December 2014, with the name Monopar Therapeutics, LLC. In December 2015, we converted to a Delaware C corporation.

The following uncertainties and factors, among others, could affect future performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements:

| ● | the impact of the U.S. Presidential and Congressional election results affecting the economy and future government laws and regulations including increased governmental control of healthcare and pharmaceuticals, resulting in direct price controls driving lower prices, other governmental regulations affecting cost requirements and structures for selling therapeutic or imaging products, and recent governmental legislation affecting other industries which may indirectly increase our costs of obtaining goods and services and our cost of capital; |
| ● | the uncertain impact any resurgence of COVID-19 or another pandemic could have on our ability to advance our clinical programs and raise additional financing; |
| ● | the cumulative impact of domestic and global inflation, volatility in financial markets and/or the potential for an economic recession increasing our costs of obtaining goods and services or making financing more difficult to obtain on acceptable terms or at all; |

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to permit the Selling Stockholder to sell shares of our Common Stock. We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the shares held by the Selling Stockholder and offered hereby.
We will bear all costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder would be responsible for paying any discounts, commissions or other similar fees and expenses in connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
On October 23, 2024, we executed a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Selling Stockholder” or “Alexion”), pursuant to which Alexion granted us an exclusive worldwide license for the development and commercialization of ALXN-1840, a drug candidate for Wilson disease.
As part of the initial upfront consideration for the License Agreement, we issued Alexion 387,329 shares (representing 9.9% of our then outstanding shares) of our Common Stock. The issuance of shares of our Common Stock was made pursuant to a separate Common Stock Investment Agreement with Alexion (the “Equity Agreement”), pursuant to which we also agreed to an anti-dilution provision that entitles Alexion to receive additional shares at no cost to maintain their 9.9% ownership after any subsequent issuances of common stock to third parties until we raise $25.0 million of common equity capital, subject to a maximum of 705,015 shares, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have raised $20.2 million of the $25.0 million limit to Alexion’s anti-dilution right and we have issued an aggregate of 522,501 shares of Common Stock to Alexion (the 387,329 initial shares plus 135,172 pursuant to the anti-dilution provision).
Pursuant to the Equity Agreement, we also agreed to file the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, within forty-five (45) days of October 23, 2024.
In addition to the consideration payable in shares of Common Stock, a cash payment of $1.0 million was paid at the time of signing of the License Agreement and the remaining $3.0 million was due to be paid within ninety (90) days. Additionally, we are obligated to milestone payments of up to $94.0 million for achievement of regulatory approval and sales related milestones. In addition, we are obligated to pay tiered royalties based on net sales in the low- to mid-double digit range. We have also given Alexion the right of first negotiation regarding any rights should we intend to sublicense ALXN-1840. Furthermore, we will have to pay Alexion a percentage in the mid-double digits of any sublicensing income received by us. As part of this License Agreement, we have assumed an agreement from Alexion, under which we will also owe a third-party single digit millions cash milestone payment upon regulatory approval in Europe and a single digit percentage royalty on net sales in Europe.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the License Agreement and the Equity Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which were filed as exhibits to the documents incorporated by reference herein.
The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder as of November 26, 2024. The information in the table below is based upon certain information obtained from the Selling Stockholder. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholder” in this prospectus, we mean the Selling Stockholder listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as its donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest. The Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of the shares subject to this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution.”
In the table below, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for the Selling Stockholder includes only the shares of Common Stock we have already issued to the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder may receive additional shares as a result of the anti-dilution right described above for no additional consideration. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are based on 5,277,796 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 26, 2024.
| | Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering | | | | | | Shares of Common Stock to be Beneficially Owned After Offering(2) | |
| | | | | Number of Shares of Common Stock | | | | |
Name of Selling Stockholder | | Number | | | Percentage | | | Being Offered(1) | | | Number | | | Percentage | |
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (2) | | | 522,501 | | | | 9.9 | % | | | 705,015 | | | | — | | | | — | % |
| (1) | This amount represents the maximum amount we may issue to the Selling Stockholder under the anti-dilution provision of the Equity Agreement, unless we obtain stockholder approval to issue additional shares. We are unable to predict how many additional shares will actually be issued to the Selling Stockholders as it depends on the terms of future sales of our Common Stock. We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Stockholder may offer shares for sale. The Selling Stockholder might not sell any or might sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the Selling Stockholder may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the Selling Stockholder after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the Selling Stockholder. |
| (2) | The address of the Selling Stockholder is 121 Seaport Blvd., Boston, Massachusetts 02210. The Selling Stockholder is a subsidiary of AstraZeneca PLC. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholder, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
| • | 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, and may also position and resell a portion of the block as a principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| • | on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |

| • | privately negotiated transactions; |

| • | through one or more agents; |
| • | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| • | any other method permitted by applicable law. |
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
In connection with the sale of our Common Stock 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 Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The Selling Stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that the Selling Stockholder meets the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
Any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the Selling Stockholder to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective and to remain continuously effective until the date on which all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby have actually been sold or all of the shares of Common Stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and the legends have been removed from such securities in accordance with the requirements of the Equity Agreement.
