Up to 3,627,053 Common Units, Each Consisting of One Share of Common Stock and Two Warrants to Each Purchase One Share of Common Stock

BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION

This is a firm commitment initial public offering of shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, of BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION (“we,” “us”, or the “Company”). We are offering up to 3,627,053 units (the “Common Units”), each Common Unit consisting of one share of common stock and two Warrants to each purchase one share of common stock. The Common Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of common stock and Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately. The offering also includes the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock or Warrants. We anticipate that the initial public offering price of per Common Unit will be between $5.20 and $7.20. The exercise price of each Warrant will be $5.95 (equal to the public offering price per Common Unit, less the price per Warrant included within the Common Unit, based on an assumed public offering price of $6.20 per Common Unit, the midpoint of the price range of the Common Units) per share. The number of Common Units offered in this prospectus and all other applicable information has been determined based on an assumed public offering price of $6.20 per Common Unit, which is the midpoint of the above range. Therefore, the assumed public offering price per Common Unit used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the common stock.

There are certain adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants on the date that is 90 calendar days immediately following the initial issuance date of the Warrants. On such date, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted to be equal to the greater of (a) 50% of the Initial Exercise Price or (b) 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of common stock occurring on any day between the initial exercise date and 90 calendar days following the issuance date of the Warrants (the “Reset Price”). The lowest Reset Price is $2.98, which is 50% of Initial Exercise Price per share.

We have applied to list our common stock and Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “SAVU” and “SAVUW,” respectively. If those applications are not approved, we will not complete this offering.

We refer to the shares of common stock, the Warrants, and the shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants collectively, as the “securities.” (See “Description of Securities.”)

We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. (See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”)

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. (See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.)

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have granted a 45-day option to the underwriter to purchase, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 15% of the total number of securities offered by us in this offering, which equates to up to 544,058 additional shares of common stock and/or up to additional Warrants to purchase up to 1,088,116 shares of common stock, solely to cover overallotments, if any.

The underwriter expects to deliver the securities to investors on or about [  ], 2023.

Our Company

BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION is a pioneering biotech company that plans to leverage current advances in life sciences and cardiac tissue engineering to build human hearts suitable for implantation – potentially lifesaving technology that ultimately gives patients the gift of time.

Operated by seasoned business leaders and guided by world-class biomedical engineers and life sciences experts, we are driving a movement to transform the treatment of heart disease which is the leading cause of death among both men and women globally.

We are committed to perfecting the technology to make viable organ replacement an accessible and affordable reality, as well as mini-hearts for cardiotoxicity testing. We believe that our groundbreaking approach converges recent breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, 3D printing techniques, and computing technology that could make organ replacement commercially viable and commonplace globally.

We plan to create a patient-specific, fully functioning heart through 3D bioprinting using the patient’s own cells – eliminating the well-known challenges of organ rejection and long donor waiting lists that plague existing organ transplant methods.

We will not have to make an exact copy or even recreate every feature set of the desired organ; it will only need to facilitate the minimum feature set which recreates the core properties of the organ. It is important to note that we do not believe we need to invent new technology, but rather improve, adopt, and optimize current technologies to create what we plan to be a commercially viable and sustainable process. We seek to improve, optimize, adapt, and capitalize on current technologies to create a commercially viable and sustainable process solution. We plan to strategically position ourselves at the center of an unprecedented convergence of regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and computing technology – all having reached a level of maturity whereby we believe that commercially viable bioprinting solutions can be created through optimization, not invention. While it is impossible to predict the exact amount of time it will take to fully optimize this process, we believe that by creating the optimal circumstances to accelerate current efforts, we will be able to achieve a solution. Inherent in the time frame is the ultimate interaction of the United Stated Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) within this time frame. It is impossible to predict the exact time frame of the FDA approval process, but we plan to work closely with the FDA at the appropriate time in an attempt to help reduce the time for necessary approvals.

We are still in the research and development stage. Our key research focus is currently on the development of a functional mini-heart that can be utilized for cardiotoxicity testing. Continued development relating to our other potential commercialization opportunities we are planning, including cardiac valves, patches, grafts, and ultimately a full heart viable for transplantation is currently curtailed as we focus on the mini-heart development, our initial commercialization opportunity. Our mini-heart, once optimized, will have four chambers, valves, greater vessels, musculature, electrical activity, and capable of generating intraluminal pressures. Currently, we have made significant progress towards the development and optimization of a functional mini-heart. We have been successful at bioprinting a heart, which has all four chambers needed for functional performance, and hence, for cardiotoxicity testing. The mini-heart has been populated with iPSC-CMs, cardiomyocytes that are derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. We are currently working on optimizing the final variables (i.e., printer settings, etc.) which we believe are necessary to successfully conduct cardiotoxicity testing and commercialize the mini-heart.

As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not sold any products or generated any revenue from sales. Our products are currently in the preclinical development phase and have not yet received FDA clearance or approval. The FDA’s plans to regulate the 3D printing of human organs for use in implantation are currently unknown.

Summary Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks discussed below and described more fully along with other risks under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus before investing in our securities.

Risks Related to Biotech Industry

Risks Related to Our Company and this Offering

Corporate Information

We were formed as a Delaware corporation on November 14, 2016.

Our principal executive office is located at 318 Half Day Road, Suite 201, Buffalo Grove, Illinois 60089. Our main telephone number is (224) 602-9569. Our website is https://biolife4d.com/. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and is not a part of this prospectus.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include, among other matters:

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of these elections, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies.

We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

Reverse Stock Split

Our board of directors and shareholders approved a one for three reverse split of our common stock on August 22, 2022, and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 25, 2022. The reverse split combined each three shares of our outstanding common stock into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse split did not affect our authorized common stock. All references to common stock, options to purchase common stock, share data, per share data, and related information, as applicable have been adjusted in this prospectus to reflect the split of our common stock as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

THE OFFERING

Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus is based on 3,611,687 shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, and:

(See “Description of Securities.”)

SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA

The following table presents summary financial data. The statement of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 and the six months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 are derived from our audited annual and our unaudited quarterly financial statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative. of our results in any future period.

You should read the following summary financial data together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary financial data in this section is not intended to replace our financial statements and the related notes and are qualified in their entirety by the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should be considered highly speculative. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, which address the material risks concerning our business and an investment in our common stock, together with the other information contained in this prospectus. If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business

Our Independent Audit Firm Has Expressed in its Report to Our Audited Financial Statements a Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.

We have not yet begun to generate revenues from our operations to fund our activities and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain necessary financing to continue our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, our independent audit firm has expressed in its auditors’ report on the financial statements a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders may lose their entire investment.

We are Attempting to Bioengineer Human Hearts Using 3D Printing for Testing Purposes and Possible Transplantation into Humans Which Has Never Been Done and May Not be Possible.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to 3D print a human heart suitable for testing purposes and viable for transplantation into humans which has never been successfully done by us or any other person or entity. Therefore, our current and planned future business are speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Substantial additional research and development activities need to take place before we can begin to produce revenue. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenue or be profitable. Should we be unable to successfully 3D print human hearts suitable for testing or viable for human transplantation, or should a competitor be able to do so prior to us being able to do so, your investment may be significantly affected and we may fail. In addition to human hearts, we may attempt to bioengineer other human organs (e.g., livers and kidneys) which future product attempts may be unsuccessful.

We Have Limited Operating History and We May Not be Able to Successfully Operate Our Business.

We incorporated in November 2016. From incorporation through the third quarter of 2017, our operations were limited to start-up activities and beginning to raise capital through a Tier II Regulation A offering, which commenced in the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter of 2018, we commenced additional operations, consisting primarily of research and development activities. We thus have a limited operating history and there can be no assurance that our proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. We cannot assure you that our past experience will be sufficient to enable us to operate our business successfully or implement our operating policies and business strategies as described in this prospectus. There is no guarantee that we will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that our operations will ever be profitable. Furthermore, we may not be able to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our operating expenses or service our indebtedness. You should not rely upon the past performance of our management team as past performance may not be indicative of our future results.

To Date, We Have Had Operating Losses and Do Not Expect to be Profitable for at Least the Foreseeable Future, and Cannot Accurately Predict When We Might Become Profitable.

We have been operating at a loss since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Further, we may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future. In addition, we expect to incur substantial operating expenses in order to fund the expansion of our business. As a result, we expect to continue to experience substantial negative cash flow for at least the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, or even if, we might become profitable.

We May Not Be Able to Obtain Adequate Financing to Continue Our Operations.

We may require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategies. These include, but are not limited to enhancing our operating infrastructure and otherwise responding to competitive pressures. Given our limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our growth plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities pursuant to any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our securities.

Terms of Subsequent Financing, if Any, May Adversely Impact Your Investment.

We may have to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future. Your rights and the value of your investment in our common stock could be reduced by the dilution caused by future equity issuances, or convertible debt issuances with conversion rates below the then fair market value of our stock at the time of conversion. Interest plus potential amortization of debt issuance costs on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. As we are permitted to issue preferred stock pursuant to the terms of our governing documents, preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of our common stock.

Our Operating Plan Relies in Large Part Upon Our Assumptions and Analyses. If These Assumptions or Analyses Prove to be Incorrect, Our Actual Operating Results May be Materially Different from Our Forecasted Results.

Whether actual operating results and business developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions as reflected in our forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including, but not limited to:

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We Rely on Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS Facilities for a Significant Portion of our Research and Development.

A majority of our research and development is located at the Texas Medical Center at 2450 Holcombe Boulevard in Houston, Texas managed by Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS personnel. We have an agreement to rent a dedicated portion of the premises designed for the purpose of conducting laboratory research and other laboratory related activities. agreement automatically renews every three months and has been doing so since 2018. If JLABS terminates our licensing agreement, no longer manages the premises, or we otherwise lose access to the laboratory facilities, our research and development will be significantly impacted.

Our Future Financial Performance and Our Ability to Commercialize Our Products and Services and to Compete Effectively Will Depend, in Part, On Our Ability to Manage Any Future Growth Effectively.

As our operations expand, we expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various strategic partners, suppliers, and other third parties. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our products and services and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. To that end, we must be able to manage our development efforts effectively and hire, train, and integrate additional management, administrative and sales and marketing personnel. Our projected growth will place a significant strain on our administrative, operational, and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel, or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in The Economy Could Have a Detrimental Impact on Our Business.

Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on our revenue. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment, and tax increases) may adversely affect our business. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on your investment.

We Face Competition in Our Market from Various Large and Small Companies, Most of Which Have Greater Financial, Research and Development, Production, and Other Resources than Us.

We may face significant competition from other biotechnology companies, and our operating results could suffer if we fail to compete effectively. The biotechnology industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. We have competitors both in the United States and internationally, including major biotechnology companies and universities and other research institutions. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, such as larger research and development staff and experienced marketing and manufacturing organizations. Additional mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology industries may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors. As a result, these companies may obtain regulatory approval, if required, or market acceptance more rapidly than we are able and may be more effective in selling and marketing their products as well. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large, established companies. Our ability to compete depends, in part, upon a number of factors outside our control, including the ability of our competitors to develop alternatives that are superior. Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries. Our competitors may succeed in developing, acquiring, or licensing on similar products or services that we may develop. There are competing alternatives to our proposed product as well, such as a recent successful pig-to-human heart transplant. If we fail to successfully compete in our market, or if we incur significant expenses in order to compete, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We Operate in a Field of Rapidly Changing Technology and if We are Unable to Adapt to Technological Changes, We will not be Able to Effectively Compete.

We may fail to anticipate or adapt to technology innovations in a timely manner, or at all. The biotechnology industry is experiencing rapid technological changes. Failure to anticipate technology innovations or adapt to such innovations in a timely manner, or at all, may result in our products becoming obsolete at sudden and unpredictable intervals. If we are unable to adapt to technological changes, we may not be able to effectively compete with other companies and/or product offerings that offer improved technology.

Our Business Model is Evolving.

Our business model is unproven and is likely to continue to evolve. Accordingly, our initial business model may not be successful and may need to be changed. Our ability to generate significant revenues will depend, in large part, on our ability to successfully market our products to potential users who may not be convinced of the need for our products and services or who may be reluctant to rely upon third parties to develop and provide these products. We intend to continue to develop our business model as our market continues to evolve.

If We Fail to Maintain and Enhance Awareness of Our Brand, Our Business and Financial Results Could be Adversely Affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing awareness of our brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance and success of our business. We also believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase due to the relatively low barriers to entry in our market. Maintaining and enhancing our brand awareness may require us to spend increasing amounts of money on, and devote greater resources to, advertising, marketing, and other brand-building efforts and these investments may not be successful. Further, even if these efforts are successful, they may not be cost-effective. If we are unable to continuously maintain and enhance our media presence, our market may decrease and we may fail to attract advertisers and subscribers, which could in turn result in lost revenues and adversely affect our business and financial results.

An Inability to Maintain and Enhance Product Image Could Harm Our Business.

It is important that we maintain and enhance a positive perception of any new products. The image and reputation of our products may be impacted for various reasons including, but not limited to, bad publicity, litigation, and complaints from regulatory bodies. Such problems, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and the reputation of our products. These claims may not be covered by our insurance policies. Any resulting litigation could be costly for us, divert management attention, and could result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any negative publicity generated could damage our reputation and diminish the value of our brand, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Deterioration in our brand equity (brand image, reputation, and product quality) may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Our Products and/or Services May Not Gain Market Acceptance.

Our products and/or services may not gain market acceptance among physicians, healthcare payors, patients, and the medical community, which are critical to commercial success. Market acceptance of any product or service depends on a number of factors, including:

We Will be Reliant on Government Authorities and Third-Party Payors, Such as Private Health Insurers and Health Maintenance Organizations, Who Decide Which Products and Services They Will Pay for and Establish Reimbursement Levels.

Government authorities, including the United States Health and Human Services Department (HHS) and, through them, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the various U.S. state equivalents to the Federal organizations, and third-party payors, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which products and services they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels for those products and services to be offered through their networks. Reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend upon a number of factors, including the third-party payor’s determination that use of a product or service is:

Obtaining coverage and reimbursement approval for a product or service from a government or other third-party payor is a time consuming and costly process that could require us to provide supporting scientific, clinical, and cost-effectiveness data for the use of our products to the payor. We may not be able to provide data sufficient to gain acceptance with respect to coverage and reimbursement. If reimbursement of our future products or services is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, we may be unable to effectively market our products for sale to a market of sufficient size and payment depth and therefore never achieve or sustain profitability.

A Data Security Breach Could Expose Us to Liability and Protracted and Costly Litigation, and Could Adversely Affect Our Reputation and Operating Revenues.

To the extent that our activities involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, we and/or third-party processors will receive, transmit, and store confidential customer and other information. Encryption software and the other technologies used to provide security for storage, processing, and transmission of confidential customer and other information may not be effective to protect against data security breaches by third parties. The risk of unauthorized circumvention of such security measures has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and the increasing sophistication of hackers. Improper access to our or these third parties’ systems or databases could result in the theft, publication, deletion, or modification of confidential customer and other information. A data security breach of the systems on which sensitive account information are stored could lead to fraudulent activity involving our products and services, reputational damage, and claims or regulatory actions against us. If we are sued in connection with any data security breach, we could be involved in protracted and costly litigation. If unsuccessful in defending that litigation, we might be forced to pay damages and/or change our business practices or pricing structure, any of which could have a material adverse effect on ‘our operating revenues and profitability. We would also likely have to pay fines, penalties, and/or other assessments imposed as a result of any data security breach.

We Depend on Third-Party Providers for a Reliable Internet Infrastructure and the Failure of these Third Parties, or the Internet in General, for Any Reason Could Significantly Impair Our Ability to Conduct Our Business

We may outsource some or all of our online presence and data management to third parties who host the actual servers and provide power and security in multiple data centers in each geographic location. These third-party facilities could require uninterrupted access to the Internet. If the operation of the servers is interrupted for any reason, including natural disaster, financial insolvency of a third-party provider, or malicious electronic intrusion into the data center, our business could be significantly damaged. As has occurred with many Internet-based businesses, we may be subject to “denial-of-service” attacks in which unknown individuals bombard our computer servers with requests for data, thereby degrading the servers’ performance. We cannot be certain we will be successful in quickly identifying and neutralizing these attacks. If either a third-party facility failed, or our ability to access the Internet was interfered with because of the failure of Internet equipment in general or if we become subject to malicious attacks of computer intruders, our business and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

3D Printed Organs May Fail Once Transplanted into Patients Causing Serious Injury or Death to the Patients, Leading to Lawsuits and Bad Publicity.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to develop a human heart that can be successfully transplanted. Because this has never been done by us or any other person or entity, there are significant risks that a patient may have adverse effects from our efforts. For example, a patient’s body may reject the transplanted organ, a patient may suffer significant health issues as a result of the transplanted organ, and a patient may die if the patient’s body rejects the transplanted organ, the organ fails for any reason, or for other complications of the surgical procedures to transplant the heart. Any or all of these occurrences could lead to lawsuits, regulatory sanctions, bad publicity, and other effects which could have a detrimental effect on us and on your investment.

If Product Liability Lawsuits are Brought Against Us, We May Incur Substantial Liabilities and May be Required to Limit Commercialization of Our Products and Services.

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our products and services. We face an inherent risk of product liability as a result of our products and services. For example, we may be sued if any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing, or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability, and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our products and services. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

Our Inability to Obtain and Retain Sufficient Product Liability Insurance at an Acceptable Cost to Protect Against Potential Product Liability Claims Could Prevent or Inhibit the Commercialization of Products and Services we Develop.

Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products and services we develop. Although we plan to maintain such insurance, any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. Our insurance policies also have various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. We will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.

The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks could have a material adverse impact on our research and development programs and financial condition.

The degree to which COVID-19 continues to impact our business operations, research and development programs, and financial condition will depend on future developments, including the duration of the outbreak and any resurgences, actions by government authorities to contain the spread of the virus, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Changes in the Economy Could Have a Detrimental Impact on our Operations.

The world has recently been on ordered quarantines and lockdowns which has already greatly impacted the United States economy as well as the economies of other country. We are unsure of the impact that this will have on our business, but it is expected that these changes in the economic climate will most likely have a detrimental impact on our operations and potential revenue generation for the foreseeable future. It is possible that recessionary pressures, particularly those from the COVID-19 lockdown, and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment, and tax increases) may decrease the disposable income that customers have available to spend on our products and services and may adversely affect customers’ confidence and willingness to spend. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on your investment.

Acts of War or Terrorism May Seriously Harm Our Business.

Acts of war, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, or acts of terrorism may cause disruption to the U.S. economy or the local economies of the markets in which we operate, cause shortages of building materials, increase costs associated with obtaining building materials, result in building code changes that could increase costs of construction, affect job growth and consumer confidence, or cause economic changes that we cannot anticipate, all of which could reduce demand for our homes and adversely impact our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

We are Dependent Upon Our Management, Founders, Key Personnel, and Consultants to Execute Our Business Plan, and Many of Them Will Have Concurrent Responsibilities at Other Companies.

Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current executive officers as well as other key personnel and consultants. Many of them will have concurrent responsibilities at other entities. Some of the advisors, scientists, consultants, and others to whom our ultimate success may be reliant have not signed contracts with us and may not ever do so. Loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, our success and achievement of our growth plans depend on our ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain other highly qualified scientific, technical, and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees and consultants among companies in the applicable industries is intense, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate any additional highly skilled employees and consultants required for the initiation and expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect on it. The inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants, and advisors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Although Dependent Upon Certain Key Personnel, We Do Not Have Any Key Man Life Insurance Policies on Some People at the Time of This Offering.

We are dependent upon management in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan and despite having obtained insurance policies for the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Executive Officer, however, we have not purchased any life insurance policies with respect to any other individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled, we will not receive any compensation that would assist with such person’s absence. The loss of such person could negatively affect us and our operations.

There are Limitations on the Liability of Our Directors.

We provide for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent permitted by such law, eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty. Such indemnification may be available for liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

We Currently Have Limited Marketing and Limited Sales Organization in Place.

We currently have limited marketing and limited sales organization for our products and services. If we are unable to establish sufficient marketing and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our products and services, we may not be able to effectively market and sell our product and services, or generate product revenues.

Concentrated Voting Control Will Limit or Preclude Our Shareholders’ Ability to Influence Corporate Matters, Including the Election of Directors, Any Merger, Consolidation, or Other Major Corporate Transaction Requiring Shareholder Approval, Which May Negatively Impact Your Liquidity and/or Your Gain on Your Investment.

As of the date of this prospectus, Steven Morris, our founder, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary. and Chairman of our board of directors, beneficially owned approximately 67.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Following the completion of this offering, Mr. Morris is expected to beneficially own approximately 33.7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 31.3% if the underwriters exercise in full their overallotment option. As a result, Mr. Morris may be able to control any vote of our shareholders which may be required for the foreseeable future and may negatively impact your investment.

We are an “Emerging Growth Company” and, as a Result of the Reduced Disclosure and Governance Requirements Applicable to Emerging Growth Companies, Our Securities May Be Less Attractive to Investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, a requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements, an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to smaller reporting companies, and no requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements. We could be an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, although a variety of circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period and, as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. In choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period, we may later decide otherwise (i.e., “opt in” by complying with the financial accounting standard effective dates applicable to non-emerging growth companies), so long as it complies with the requirements in Sections 107(b)(2) and (3) of the JOBS Act, which is irrevocable.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of our taking advantage of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our choices, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

As a Result of Becoming a Public Company, We Will Be Obligated to Develop and Maintain Proper and Effective Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We May Not Complete Our Analysis of Our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in a Timely Manner, or These Internal Controls May Not Be Determined to Be Effective, Which May Adversely Affect Investor Confidence in Us and, as a Result, the Value of Our Securities.

As a public company, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year 2022. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting.

We previously had an independent audit firm which was not PCAOB registered audit our financial statements for the years ended December 30, 2019 and 2020. In preparation for this offering, we retained L J Soldinger Associates, LLC, a PCAOB-registered accounting firm, to complete audits of our financial statements for our 2021 and 2020 fiscal years. During the re-audit of our financial statements, we discovered errors in our 2019 and 2020 previously issued financial statements included in our Form 1-K originally filed with the SEC on April 28, 2021. We restated those financial statements and amended our Form 1-K to include the restated financial statements and appropriate disclosures.

In addition, our current auditor issued a Material Weakness Letter for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020 noting the following material weaknesses

Since February 2022, we have taken steps to address the internal control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses, including:

The implementation of these measures is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. If we are unsuccessful in remediating the material weaknesses and otherwise establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, the reliability of our financial reporting, investor confidence in us and the value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. We can give no assurance that implementation of our plans will remediate these deficiencies in internal control or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable and timely financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to reasonably detect and prevent fraud. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we may be subject to investigation or sanctions by the SEC.

We will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, if we continue to take advantage of the exemptions contained in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed, or operating. Our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid a material weakness in the future. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff.

We Will Incur Increased Costs as a Result of Being a Public Company.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq require changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We will also incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, or as executive officers.

Regulatory and Intellectual Property Risks

There are Currently No Definitive Regulatory Requirements on the Sale or Use of 3D Bioprinted Organs.

Therapeutic tissues and other regenerative medicine products are subject to an extensive, lengthy, and uncertain regulatory approval process by the FDA and comparable agencies in other countries. The regulation of new products is extensive, and the required process of laboratory testing and human studies is lengthy and expensive. The resource investment of time, staff, and expense to satisfy these regulations will fall on us for the products we are developing. We may not be able to obtain FDA approvals for those products in a timely manner, or at all. We may encounter significant delays or excessive costs in our efforts to secure necessary approvals or licenses. Even if we obtain FDA regulatory approvals, the FDA extensively regulates manufacturing, labeling, distributing, marketing, promotion, and advertising after product approval. Moreover, several of our product development areas may involve relatively new technology and have not been the subject of extensive product testing in humans. The regulatory requirements governing these products and related clinical procedures remain uncertain and the products themselves may be subject to substantial review by the FDA and/or foreign governmental regulatory authorities that could prevent or delay approval of these products and procedures. Regulatory requirements ultimately imposed on our products could limit our ability to test, manufacture and, ultimately, commercialize our products and thereby could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We Believe Our Future Products May be Regulated as Medical Devices Under the FDA. This Type of Regulation Presents Many Risks.

We currently do not have any devices regulated by the FDA, but believe that our future products will be regulated under medical device reporting and may be subject to those laws and regulations. The Medical Device Reporting laws and regulations require us to provide information to the FDA on deaths or serious injuries alleged to have been associated with the use of our devices, as well as product malfunctions that likely would cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. In addition, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for off-label use. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including substantial monetary penalties and criminal prosecution.

The Regulatory Approval Processes of the FDA, Other Regulatory Bodies, and Similar Foreign Authorities Is Lengthy, Time Consuming, and Inherently Unpredictable.

We believe our products and services will require FDA and/or other regulatory approval in the future for some or all of our products or services. However, we do not believe that this process will take place for three years. At that time, we will be unsure of what the process will be as there is no definitive process for review and approval of 3D bioprinted devices or tissues. The regulatory approval processes of the FDA, other regulatory bodies, and similar foreign authorities could be lengthy, time consuming, and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval for our products and services, our business will be substantially harmed.

Our Revenues Will be Dependent, in Part, Upon the Size of the Markets in the Territories for Which We Gain Regulatory Approval and Have Commercial Rights.

We believe our products and services will require FDA and/or other regulatory approval in the future and our revenues will be dependent, in part, upon the size of the markets in the territories for which we gain regulatory approval and have commercial rights. If the markets for patient subsets that we are targeting are not as significant as we estimate, we may not generate significant revenues from sales of our products or services.

Our Products and Services Will Require Regulatory Approval in Countries Outside of the United States.

We believe our products and services will require FDA and/or other regulatory approval in the future as well as regulatory approval in countries outside of the United States. We must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of such countries regarding safety and efficacy and governing, among other things, possibly clinical trials and commercial sales, pricing, and distribution of our product candidates, and we cannot predict success in these jurisdictions.

Our Products and Services Could Fail to Receive Regulatory Approval for Many Reasons.

The time required to obtain approval by the FDA, other regulatory bodies, and comparable foreign authorities is unpredictable but could take many years following commencement of clinical trials, depending upon numerous factors. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate’s clinical development. Our products and services could fail to receive regulatory approval for many reasons, including the following:

Undesirable Side Effects Caused by Our Products or Services Could Cause Us or Regulatory Authorities to Interrupt, Delay, or Halt Clinical Trials and Could Result in the Delay or Denial of Regulatory Approval.

Undesirable side effects caused by our products or services could cause us or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay, or halt clinical trials and could result in the delay or denial of regulatory approval by the FDA, other regulatory body, or other comparable foreign authorities. Additionally, if one or more of our products or services receives approval, and we or others later identify undesirable side effects caused by such products or services, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:

Any of these occurrences may harm our business, financial condition, and prospects significantly.

The FDA, Other Regulatory Bodies, and Other Comparable Foreign Regulatory Authorities Each Have Substantial Discretion in the Approval Process and May Either Refuse to Consider Our Application for Review or May Form the Opinion After Review of Our Data that Our Application Is Insufficient to Allow Approval of Our Products or Services.

The FDA, other regulatory bodies, and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities each have substantial discretion in the approval process and may either refuse to consider our application for review or may form the opinion after review of our data that our application is insufficient to allow approval of our products or services. If, in the future, we decide to pursue commercializing our product in foreign countries, we will have to go through the approval procedures of those countries. Approval procedures vary among jurisdictions and can involve requirements and administrative review periods different from, and greater than, those in the United States. Moreover, any approvals that we obtain may not cover all of the clinical indications for which we are seeking approval, or could contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions, or contraindications with respect to conditions of use. In such an event, our ability to generate revenues from such products would be greatly reduced and our business would be harmed.

Regulatory Approval to Market a Product or Service May be Subject to Limitations on the Indicated Uses for Which We May Market the Product or Service.

We believe our products and services will require FDA and/or other regulatory approval in the future. Even if we do receive regulatory approval to market a product or service, any such approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which we may market the product or service. It is possible that none of our existing products or services we may seek to develop in the future will ever obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals necessary for us to commence product sales. In many countries outside the United States, a product candidate must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. In some cases, the price that we intend to charge for our products or services is also subject to approval. Any delay in obtaining, or an inability to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals would prevent us from commercializing our product candidates, generating revenues, and achieving and sustaining profitability.

Even if We Receive Regulatory Approval for Any of Our Products or Services, We Will be Subject to Ongoing Obligations and Continued Regulatory Review, Which May Result in Significant Additional Expense.

We believe our products and services will require FDA and/or other regulatory approval in the future for some or all of our products or services. Even if we receive regulatory approval for any of our products or services, we will be subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, our products and services, if approved, could be subject to restrictions and market withdrawal and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with our products or services.

If We are Unable to Adapt to Changes in Existing Requirements or the Adoption of New Requirements or Policies, or if We are Not Able to Maintain Regulatory Compliance, We May Lose Market Approval.

The FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit, or delay regulatory approval of our products or services. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any market approval that we may have obtained, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, and ability to achieve or sustain profitability.

Legislative and Regulatory Changes to the Healthcare System Could Impact Our Ability to Sell Our Products or Services Profitably.

In both the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been and we expect there will continue to be a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system that could impact our ability to sell our products or services profitably. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadening the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare may adversely affect:

In addition, governments may impose price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.

Our Employees May Engage in Misconduct or Other Improper Activities, Including Noncompliance with Regulatory Standards and Requirements, Which Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business.

We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include, but is not limited to, intentional failures to comply with FDA or other regulatory regulations that may apply, provide accurate information to the FDA or other regulatory agencies, comply with manufacturing standards we have established, comply with federal and state health-care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare and biotechnology industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business and results of operations, including the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions.

If We are Unable to Effectively Protect Our Intellectual Property, it May Impair Our Ability to Compete.

Our success will depend on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful intellectual property protection for any such intellectual property. The names and/or logos of other company brands may be challenged by holders of trademarks who file opposition notices, or otherwise contest, our trademark applications for our brands. Similarly, domains owned and used by us may be challenged by others who contest our ability to use the domain name or URL. Our business depends on proprietary technology that may be infringed. Some or all of our products depend or will depend on our proprietary technology for its success. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks, together with non-disclosure agreements, confidentiality provisions in sales, procurement, employment, and other agreements and technical measures to establish and protect proprietary rights in our products. While we may seek patents for some or all of our products and technology, there is no guarantee that such patents will be granted. Our ability to successfully protect our technology may be limited because intellectual property laws in certain jurisdictions may be relatively ineffective, detecting infringements and enforcing proprietary rights may divert management’s attention and company resources, contractual measures such as non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality provisions may afford only limited protection, any patents we may receive will expire, thus providing competitors access to the applicable technology, competitors may independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or circumvent our intellectual property rights; and competitors may register patents in technologies relevant to our business areas. In addition, various parties may assert infringement claims against us. The cost of defending against infringement claims could be significant, regardless of whether the claims are valid. If we are not successful in defending such claims, we may be prevented from the use or sale of certain of our products, or liable for damages and required to obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation or financial condition.

We Rely in Part Upon Trade Secret Protection to Protect Our Intellectual Property; it May be Difficult and Costly to Protect Our Proprietary Rights and We May Not be Able to Ensure its Protection

We currently rely in part on trade secrets. While we use reasonable efforts to protect these trade secrets, we cannot assure that our employees, consultants, contractors, or advisors will not, unintentionally or willfully, disclose our trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods, and know-how. If we are unable to defend our trade secrets from others use, or if our competitors develop equivalent knowledge, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any infringement of our proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenue. Existing patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party use. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets could be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially adversely affect our future operating results.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Securities

An Investment in Our Securities is Speculative and Could Result in a Loss of Your Entire Investment.

An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. You should not purchase the securities if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment.

There is Currently No Public Market for Our Securities, A Trading Market for Our Securities May Never Develop Following this Offering, and the Price of Our Securities May be Volatile and Could Decline Substantially Following this Offering.

There is currently no public market for our securities. We have applied to list our common stock and Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SAVU” and “SAVUW,” respectively. Even if we do list our securities on Nasdaq, an active trading market for our securities may never develop or if one develops, it may not be sustained following this offering. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the following:

If an active market for our securities does not develop or is not maintained, the market price of our securities may decline, and you may not be able to sell your shares. Even if an active trading market develops for our securities subsequent to this offering, the market price of our securities may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our securities.

Some of the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our securities include:

Certain Recent Initial Public Offerings with Smaller Public Floats Have Experienced Extreme Price Volatility That Was Seemingly Unrelated to Company Performance. Such Volatility, if Occurs to US, May Make it Difficult for Prospective Investors to Assess the Rapidly Changing Value of our Shares.

The trading price of our shares following this offering is likely to be volatile, and our shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines following initial public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase in the future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, our shares are likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trade of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price of our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its stock price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our limited operating history, not being profitable, and not expecting to be profitable in the foreseeable future. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a relatively large public float.

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our securities. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated or disproportionate to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our shares.

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for biotech companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes, may seriously affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our securities shortly following this offering. If the market price of our shares after this offering does not exceed the per share offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment. If the market price of our shares does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants during the period in which the Warrants are exercisable, then the Warrants may become worthless upon expiration.

Even if we are Successful in Listing our Common Stock and Warrants on Nasdaq, Failure to Maintain our Nasdaq Listing could Limit Investors’ Ability to Make Transactions in our Common Stock and Warrants and Subject us to Additional Trading Restrictions.

We may not be able to meet the continued listing requirements for our common stock and Warrants in the future. Failure to meet the continued listing requirements could result in Nasdaq delisting our common stock from trading on its exchange. If this should happen, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

If our Common Stock were Delisted and Determined to be a “Penny Stock,” a Broker-Dealer may Find it More Difficult to Trade our Common Stock and an Investor May Find it More Difficult to Acquire or Dispose of our Common Stock in the Secondary Market.

If our common stock were removed from listing with Nasdaq, it may be subject to the so-called “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price per share of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions, such as any securities listed on a national securities exchange. For any transaction involving a “penny stock,” unless exempt, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers, subject to certain exceptions. If our common stock were delisted and determined to be a “penny stock,” a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade our common stock and an investor may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of our common stock on the secondary market. Investors in penny stocks should be prepared for the possibility that they may lose their whole investment.

The Offering Price Per Share of the Securities Offered Under This Prospectus May Not Accurately Reflect the Value of Your Investment.

Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our securities. The offering price per share of our securities offered by this prospectus was negotiated between us and the underwriters. Factors considered in determining the price of our common stock include:

The offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our securities and may not be realized upon any subsequent disposition of the shares.

The Warrants included in the Common Units are expected to be listed on Nasdaq separately upon the pricing of this offering, and may provide investors with an arbitrage opportunity that could adversely affect the trading price of our shares.

Because the Common Units will never trade as a unit, and the Warrants are expected to be traded on Nasdaq, investors may be provided with an arbitrage opportunity that could depress the price of our shares. The exercise of any Warrants may dilute the value of shares of common stock.

The Warrants are Speculative in Nature.

Except as otherwise set forth therein, the Warrants offered in this offering do not confer any rights of share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the Warrants may exercise their right to acquire shares and pay an exercise price of $5.95 (based on an assumed public offering price of $6.20 per Common Unit, representing 100% of the public offering price per share of common stock), prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercised Warrants will expire and have no further value. There can be no assurance that the market price of our shares will continue to equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants offered by this prospectus. In the event that our share price does not exceed the exercise price of such Warrants during the period when such Warrants are exercisable, the Warrants may not have any value.

Investors in this Offering Will Experience Immediate and Substantial Dilution.

Due to our significant accumulated deficit, investors in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution. Further, investors in this offering will own approximately 40.1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, but will have paid approximately 71.5% of the total consideration for our outstanding shares. (See “Dilution.”)

We May Undertake Additional Equity or Debt Financing That May Dilute the Shares in this Offering.

We may undertake further equity or debt financing which may be dilutive to existing shareholders, including you, or result in an issuance of securities whose rights, preferences, and privileges are senior to those of existing shareholders, including you, and also reducing the value of securities subscribed for under this offering.

We May Not be Able to Obtain Additional Financing.

We may require additional funds to continue and grow its business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay our plans for growth and implementation of our strategy which could seriously harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we need additional funds, we may seek to obtain them primarily through additional equity or debt financings. Those additional financings could result in dilution to our current shareholders and to you if you invest in this offering.

If Securities Analysts Do Not Publish Research or Reports About Our Business, or If They Downgrade Our Common Stock, the Price of Our Securities Could Decline.

The trading market for our securities could be influenced by any research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have, and may never obtain, research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our securities would be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts cover us and one or more of these analysts downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which could cause the price of our securities and trading volume to decline.

Negative Publicity May Affect Our Business Performance and Could Affect Our Stock Price.

Unfavorable media related to our industry, company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on social media outlets, such as blogs, websites, or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid brands that receive bad press or negative reviews. Negative publicity may result in a decrease in operating results that could lead to a decline in the price of our common stock and cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment.

We Have Not Paid Dividends in the Past and Do Not Expect to Pay Dividends in the Foreseeable Future.

We have never paid cash dividends on our securities and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them, or at all for an indefinite period of time, except as permitted under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

We Have Broad Discretion to Use the Proceeds From this Offering, and Our Investment of Those Proceeds May Not Yield a Favorable Return.

Our management has broad discretion to use the proceeds from this offering in ways with which you may not agree. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for us. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns. This could harm our business and could cause the market value of our securities to decline. Investors are urged to consult with their attorneys, accountants, and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in us.

Future Sales of Our Common Stock, Other Securities Convertible into Our Common Stock, or Preferred Stock Could Cause the Market Value of Our Common Stock to Decline and Could Result in Dilution of Your Shares.

Our board of directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, Warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by Steven Morris or another large shareholder, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, in connection with this offering, subject to certain exceptions, each of our officers and directors and the majority of our shareholders has entered into a lock-up agreement that restricts the direct or indirect sale of shares of our common stock beneficially held by such person for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of the underwriter. In addition, such persons have agreed not to directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant any option, or otherwise transfer or dispose of shares of our common stock for 180 days after the date of this prospectus; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any of our shareholders (other than our officers, directors, or employees) for the sale of shares of common stock acquired by them in the open market after the completion of this offering. We have agreed not to waive or otherwise modify that agreement without the prior written consent of the underwriter. The underwriter may, at any time, release, or authorize us to release, as the case may be, all or a portion of our common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up provisions. If the restrictions under the lock-up provisions of the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this offering are waived, shares of our common stock may become available for sale into the market, subject to applicable law, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

We Have Made Assumptions in Our Projections and in Forward-Looking Statements that May Not be Accurate.

The discussions and information in this prospectus may contain both historical and “forward-looking statements” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including the terms “believes,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “would,” “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus based on past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. To the extent that the prospectus contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of our business, please be advised that our actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us. We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from its current expectations. The differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, lack of market acceptance, reduction of consumer demand, unexpected costs and operating deficits, lower sales and revenues than forecast, default on leases or other indebtedness, loss of suppliers, loss of supply, loss of distribution and service contracts, price increases for capital, supplies and materials, inadequate capital, inability to raise capital or financing, failure to obtain customers, loss of customers and failure to obtain new customers, the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving us or our employees, loss of government licenses and permits or failure to obtain them, higher than anticipated labor costs, the possible acquisition of new businesses or products that result in operating losses or that do not perform as anticipated, resulting in unanticipated losses, the possible fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflationary factors, and other specific risks that may be referred to in this prospectus or in other reports issued by us or by third-party publishers.

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements contained in this prospectus, including those that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income, and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus speak only as of the date of this prospectus, and we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks, contingencies, and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The following factors, among others, may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements:

These forward-looking statements reflect our management���s beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We discuss many of these risks in greater detail under “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $20,128,833 (assuming an initial public offering price of $6.20 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance, and the estimated offering expenses of approximately $335,000 payable by us.

We estimate that this offering will provide sufficient funds to complete all necessary optimization required for completion of our mini-heart and enable us to fully commercialize it into the market. The funds will be used primarily to scale-up our research operations, in terms of research space, personnel, equipment and consultant support, all of which are essential for us to continue our research and development. We plan to hire additional research staff in the areas of stem cell engineering, biomaterials development, bioprinting, bioreactors and cardiovascular physiology and develop a team-based strategy, where each of our core areas will be headed by a senior scientist and junior level technical support. In addition, we plan to use the funds to expand our research space to accommodate our growth and increase the footprint of the research labs. Funds may also be used to purchase additional equipment to support our ongoing research efforts. We believe that once we are able to commercialize our mini-heart for toxicology testing, we may be able to generate sufficient revenue to support most, if not all, research activities relating to our subsequent commercialization opportunities including cardiac valves, graft, patches, and a full heart viable for transplantation, subject to FDA approval.

The underwriters have an option to purchase up to 544,058 additional shares of our common stock and/or additional Warrants to purchase 1,088,116 shares of common stock within 45 days after the date of this prospectus to cover overallotments, if any, made by the underwriters to investors from whom orders were solicited prior to the date of this prospectus. Exercise of this option in full would result in additional net proceeds to us of approximately $3,069,574. All of such additional net proceeds would be used for raw materials.

Raw Material: We intend to use $6 million to purchase raw materials to build our inventory for the mini-heart.

Laboratory Equipment: We intend to use $4.2 million of the proceeds of this offering towards capital expenditures towards additional lab equipment. We estimate that we will need approximately $2.2 million for the additional lab equipment for pre-mini heart testing completion and $2 million for equipment post-mini heart testing.

Laboratory Expenses and Testing: We need additional funds in order to fund the buildout of additional lab space, to purchase lab consumables, to pay for the expenses of the mini heart testing, as well as additional research personnel.

Working Capital: Expenses for general corporate purposes.

Selling, General, and Administrative: We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering for additional staff, consultants, and advisors, as well as Intellectual Property research, filings, defense, and security. We will also utilize the funds for our Investor Relations.

Repayment of Working Capital Loan: We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to satisfy our outstanding $1.5 million loan pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement and related Promissory Note, made by the Company in favor of Fifth Third Bank, National Association, on May 18, 2022 ($1,000,000) and December 6, 2022 ($500,000) to fund our working capital needs, as well as to cover any resulting expenses, fees, and accrued interest owed by the BioLife4D – SM Trust under the SM Trust Loan. The Working Capital Loans bear interest at the rate of 4.320% and 8.040% per annum and matures on May 18, 2023 and December 6, 2023, respectively (the “Maturity Dates”). We are obligated to make monthly interest payments to the Lender until each of the respective Maturity Dates upon which date the amount of the entire principal balance and any unpaid but accrued interest of the respective Promissory Notes are due. (See “Working Capital Loan” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”)

Compliance: We anticipate that we will have significant additional expenses related to compliance, including for SEC and Nasdaq compliance, compensation of our Board of Directors, Directors and Officers insurance, and auditing compliance.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of the September 30, 2022:

This table should be read in conjunction with the sections captioned “Use of Proceeds,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The outstanding share information in the table above is based on 3,610,353 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and:

(See “Description of Securities.”)

DILUTION

If you purchase securities in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of common stock upon completion of this offering.

Net tangible book value per share of common stock represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 was ($1,560,467) or ($0.43) per share of common stock, based upon 3,610,353 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate, substantial dilution. After giving effect to the sale of our securities at the initial public offering price of $6.20 per unit, the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $18,568,366 or approximately $2.57 per share of common stock.

This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $3.00 per share to existing common shareholders, and an immediate dilution of $3.38 per share to investors participating in this offering. If the initial public offering price is higher or lower, the dilution to new shareholders will be greater or lower, respectively.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

A $1.00 increase (or decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $6.20 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (or decrease) the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by approximately $0.45 and dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors by approximately $4.18 assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would be $2.78 per share, the increase in net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be $3.42 per share and the dilution to new investors would be $0.21 per share, in each case assuming an initial public offering price of $6.20 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The following table summarizes, as of the September 30, 2022, the differences between our existing shareholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid. The calculations with respect to shares purchased by new investors in this offering reflect the initial public offering price of $6.20 per unit, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

If the underwriters exercise their overallotment option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in full, our existing shareholders would own 46.4% and our new investors would own 53.6% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding following this offering.

The outstanding share information in the table above is based on 3,610,353 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and:

(See “Description of Securities.”)

DIVIDEND POLICY

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its sole discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock—We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.”)

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

General

BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION is a pioneering development stage biotech company that plans to leverage current advances in life sciences and cardiac tissue engineering to build human hearts first for cardiotoxicity testing and ultimately potentially suitable for implantation.

We plan to strategically position ourselves at the center of an unprecedented convergence of regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and computing technology – all having reached a level of maturity where we believe that commercially viable bioprinting solutions can be created through optimization, not invention. It is impossible to predict the exact amount of time it will take to fully optimize this process. We also need to obtain the approval of the FDA and it is impossible to predict the timeframe of the FDA approval process.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our ability to generate any product revenue or product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our development stage product. We reported net losses of approximately $2.5 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9.1 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses until we have a commercially viable product. We expect that our expenses and capital expenditures will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities including, but not limited to the following:

We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete our mini heart. If we are successful in developing the mini heart; we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, and distribution. Further, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when, needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back, or discontinue the development and commercialization of our products.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenue from any sources, including product sales, and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful, we may generate revenue in the future from product sales.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for our research activities, including our discovery efforts and the development of our product candidates. These expenses include salaries and related personnel cost, including stock based compensation, research supplies, rent, independent contractors, and research and development advisory board costs and other costs that directly support our research and development activities.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. We may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for any of our product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our executives and other administrative functions. General and administrative expenses include legal fees, accounting, auditing, consulting, and tax services; insurance costs; travel expenses; and facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research activities and development of our product candidates. We also anticipate that we will incur increased accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, compliance, director and officer insurance, and investor and public relations expenses associated with operating as a public company.

Other Income (Expense)

Loan Forgiveness. Loan forgiveness relates to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act (“PPP”).

Interest Income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expenses consist of interest on convertible debt and related party debt.

Income Taxes

Since our inception, we have not recorded any income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred or for the research and development tax credits earned in each year and interim period, as we believe, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all of our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards will not be realized.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $0.5 million compared to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of approximately $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to increases in salaries and personnel-related costs along with an increase in professional fees. As we transition to a public company, we expect these costs to increase in future periods.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.2 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decline in cost was primarily due to a decrease in stock compensation.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were approximately $1.7 million compared to approximately $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of approximately $0.9 million in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to increases in salaries and personnel-related costs along with an increase in professional fees. As we transition to a public company, we expect these costs to increase in future periods.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.7 million compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We expect these costs to increase in future periods as we accelerate our product development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9.1 million, incurred a net loss of approximately $2.5 million, and cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.1 million as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our research and development activities and commercialize our products will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical and, if successful, clinical development of our programs. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from sales of common stock, PPE loans, and borrowings under convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million. In January 2022, the holders of $600,000 of outstanding convertible notes were notified that we elected, under provisions contained in the note agreements, to extend the maturity date of the convertible notes until January 2024. The result of this election increased the interest rate under the convertible notes to 12% per annum.

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, operating activities used $1.1 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $2.5 million, partially offset by non-cash charges and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.4 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, operating activities used approximately $0.8 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $1.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.4 million.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.5 million, consisting of $1.0 million working capital loan and partially offset by $0.5 million of costs related to this offering.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.6 million, consisting of net proceeds, after deducting offering costs, from the sale of common stock of approximately $1.4 million and proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from borrowings under the PPP.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, were approximately $1.0 million, compared to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase approximately of $0.1 million in general and administrative expenses primarily relates to increase in salaries and personnel-related costs along with an increase in professional fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, were approximately $0.8 million compared to approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase of approximately $0.1 million in research and development expenses in 2021 from 2020 primarily relates to stock based compensation costs incurred in 2021 offset by reductions in advisory board and employee wages incurred in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Other Income (Expense)

Loan Forgiveness. In 2021, approximately $0.4 million of PPP loans were forgiven. In 2020, we did not have any loans forgiven.

Interest Income. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was minimal and consisted of interest earned on invested cash balances.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $0.1 million, and was primarily related to our convertible note.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6.6 million, incurred a net loss of approximately $1.5 million and cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.1 million as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our research and development activities and commercialize our products will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.7 million, consisting of net proceeds from the sale of common stock of approximately $1.6 million and proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from PPP borrowings.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.5 million, consisting of net proceeds, after deducting offering costs, from the sale of common stock of approximately $0.5 million and proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from PPP borrowings. This was partially offset by a repayment of approximately $0.3 million shareholder loan.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our research and development to create a mini heart. In addition, transition from a private company to a publicly-traded company will increase our reporting and compliance cost.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of such stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Financial Accounting Statements Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. We recognize compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions using a fair-value measurement method, which requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. We determine the fair value of stock-based option awards, that do not contain any provisions which would result in liability classification, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The method incorporates various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. For awards with performance-based vesting criteria, we estimate the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and recognizes compensation expense related to those awards expected to vest. We account for forfeited awards as they occur. Ultimately, the actual expenses recognized over the vesting period will be for those shares that vested. Our common stock price is assessed using valuation methods in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation practice guide. These estimates represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

We have adopted the guidance included under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-17, stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants on January 1, 2018. Equity-based payments to non-employees are measured at grant-date fair value of equity instruments that we are obligated to issue when the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the rights to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. Equity-classified nonemployee share based payment awards are measured at the grant date.

Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. These costs include rents for facilities, supplies, and other fees related to our research efforts, fees paid to consultants that perform certain research and testing on our behalf, and costs related to salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation granted to employees in research and development functions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include:

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of this election, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.

We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

Working Capital Loan

On May 18, 2022, we borrowed $1 million to fund our working capital needs pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement by and between us, as the borrower, and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as lender (the “Lender”) and a related Promissory Note, made by us in favor of the Lender, each dated as of May 18, 2022 (the “Working Capital Loan”). The Promissory Note has an interest rate of 4.320% and matures on May 18, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). We are obligated to make monthly interest payments to the Lender until the Maturity Date upon which date the amount of the entire principal balance and any unpaid but accrued interest is due. Our obligations under the Working Capital Loan are secured by a lien on a certain deposit account with the Lender (the “Deposit Account”) owned by the BioLife4D – SM Trust dated November 1, 2016, (the “BioLife4D – SM Trust”) pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

The Deposit Account was funded by the BioLife4D – SM Trust, our CEO’s trust, through its receipt of a $1 million loan from one of our minor shareholders (the “SM Trust Loan”), pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note, dated as of May 18, 2022, made by the BioLife4D – SM Trust in favor of the shareholder, in the principal amount of $1 million (the “Secured Promissory Note”). The SM Trust Loan is secured by a pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust of 33,334 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and between the BioLife4D – SM Trust, as pledgor, and the shareholder, as secured party (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”).

On December 6, 2022, we borrowed an additional $500,000 from the Lender to continue to fund our working capital needs (the “Second Working Capital Loan”). We entered into a similar Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with the Lender under the same payment terms and security. The maturity date of the Second Working capital Loan is December 6, 2023 and the interest rate is 8.040%. The obligations under the Second Working Capital Loan are secured by a lien on the same Deposit Account owned by the BioLife4D – SM Trust.

The Deposit Account was funded by the BioLife4D – SM Trust, through its receipt of an additional $500,000 loan from the same minor shareholder from the SM Trust Loan. The parties amended and restated the Secured Promissory Note from the SM Trust Loan, dated as of December 7, 2022, to increase the principal amount from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The parties then also amended and restated the Stock Pledge Agreement to secure the SM Trust Loan increasing the pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust from 33,334 shares of common stock to 150,000 shares of common stock.

We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay the Working Capital Loan and Second Working Capital Loan in full, as well as to pay the BioLife4D – SM Trust any accrued principal, interest, expenses, or fees owed by the BioLife4D – SM Trust under the SM Trust Loan that remain outstanding after the release of the funds from the Deposit Account back to the shareholder.

The above summary of our Working Capital Loan, Second Working Capital Loan, and the SM Trust Loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Loan Agreements and the related Promissory Notes and Assignment of Deposit Account, with respect to the Working Capital Loan and Second Working Capital Loan, the Secured Promissory Notes, and Stock Pledge Agreement, with respect to the SM Trust Loan, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

OUR BUSINESS

Our Origins

After several years of extensive research into the specific processes and technologies of the evolving 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine fields, medical manufacturing industry veteran Steven Morris recognized the potential of this emerging market. This research, along with more than 15 years of extensive hands-on experience in the medical field, led to the formation of BIOLIFE4D in 2016, a regenerative medicine 3D bioprinting company, whose goal is to facilitate the biological printing of viable human organs, beginning with a heart, for utilization in cardiotoxicity testing and ultimately, if FDA approval is obtained, patient-specific human transplantation. In plain terms, our mission is to make human heart replacement affordable and accessible– saving lives and giving mankind the gift of time.

We plan to continue to leverage and optimize what we believe is the best research and technology available to us, capitalize on new advancements in digital capabilities, and bring together highly experienced industry specialists in an innovative and creative way to drive a single shared vision to revolutionize medical care for the benefit of all humanity.

We have established a scientific advisory board with specific experience in life-sciences, biomedical engineering, and tissue engineering and we have also engaged specialists in mechanical engineering, software technologies, and applications engineering. (See biographies of our Scientific Advisory Board in “Management.”)

Preliminary Milestones

In June 2018, we announced the achievement of our first initial milestone, the proof of concept for our cardiac patch. The significance of the cardiac patch was, among other things, a validation that we were able to deploy the process central to our technology, namely taking human specialized cells (i.e., mono-nuclear blood cells) and reprogramming them into induced adult stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells or “iPS”); and then reprogramming them again (differentiation) into the specialized cells which make up the human heart (i.e., cardiomyocytes, etc.); and then putting those cells into a specially formulated “bioink” creating the 3D aqueous environment similar to that which is found inside the human body; and then using the bioink to 3D bioprint living human cardiac tissue.

Immediately thereafter, we turned our focus on the “mini-heart,” a scaled-down version of a human heart bioengineered using essentially the same process as the cardiac patch. Upon commercialization, the mini-heart could be significant in two ways: first, we would be able to announce to the world that we successfully bioengineered a human organ (albeit a scaled down version) and second, it represents a significant short-term path to market for us and our ability to potentially generate revenue. We hope to begin initial commercialization of our mini-heart either late 2023 or early 2024.

There will be three versions of the mini-heart introduced. It is important to note that for the mini-heart to initially get to the market no FDA approval is required and there is no regulatory path that needs to be followed. This is because the mini-heart is not intended to ever be used in humans and, at least at the onset, will not replace any current FDA requirements for cardiotoxicity testing.

The first version of the mini-heart represents our proof of concept and was completed in summer 2019. It enabled us to announce that we achieved this incredible milestone. While this initial version included the major components of the heart, it was not fully functional.

The second version of the mini-heart is expected to be released and ready for testing by 2023. After testing is completed, this second version on the mini-heart is planned to be released initially to the domestic U.S. market and then marketed internationally. This second version of the mini-heart will be a refined and further optimized version of the proof of concept and has the purpose of being able to provide pharma better predictive results for cardiotoxicity screening as compared to the current animal model, thus potentially saving this industry billions of dollars in lost research and development (“R&D”) costs and lost time in bringing novel vaccines, drugs and therapies to the point of human clinical trials which had a positive indication in the animal trials but ultimately fail in human trials. While it is critical to note that there is not a required regulatory pathway needed to initially release the mini-heart for commercialization because it will be a test that pharma will use in addition to FDA required protocols, it is our intention to nevertheless work with the FDA utilizing this version of the mini-heart to determine the necessary protocol and testing that the FDA would require to potentially replace their current gold standard animal-based cardiotoxicity model with our mini-heart model.

The third version is planned to be a mini-heart that, instead of representing a healthy human heart model for testing purposes, will have abnormalities bioengineered directly into the mini-heart. The applications for this version are potentially substantial as well, providing a predictive model for people working on therapies for specific abnormalities so they can test their potential therapies on a model which has that specific abnormality.

Should we complete protocols established by the FDA to enable the mini-heart to replace the associated animal testing the market would expand geometrically not only in the U.S. but internationally. It is common for other countries regulatory agencies to follow suit with testing practices utilized in the U.S., thus potentially making our mini-heart a global gold standard for cardiotoxicity testing purposes. This said, while we work with the FDA, we also have the opportunity to work with any and all other regulatory agencies around the world in order to have them implement the mini-heart as their standard prior to the FDA approving it as the new standard in the U.S.

Currently we are working with the industry to provide the necessary protocols required by pharma in order for them to utilize the mini-heart for their testing purposes. For instance, we will be provided several compounds which tested positive (indicated safe) with the animal model and indeed tested positive (safe) in humans, as well as compounds which tested positive in animals but failed in humans. The positive in animal and positive in human tests provide correlation, the “false positive” is what our mini-heart should be able to provide better predictive results to the industry and could save the industry billions of dollars, and could save countless wasted years chasing therapies which could ultimately fail in humans. There is additional electrophysiology, action potential, contractility, and other parameters currently being established in order to not only satisfy cardiotoxicity indicators but efficacy indicators as well.

We have two pending U.S. provisional patent applications:

Prior to expiration of the provisional patent application for “Methods and Compositions for Organ Printing,” we plan to file a corresponding nonprovisional application for the patent within the 12 month pendency period.

Our first provisional patent application was for method to bioprint mini-hearts. We developed a new bioink based on alginate and optimized parameters for the bioprinting of mini-hearts using extrusion based bioprinting. The provisional patent application describes our methods and parameters for extrusion based bioprinting of mini-hearts using an alginate based bioink.

Our second provisional patent application was for a bioink based on cellulose. We developed and optimized a new bioink with cellulose as the key component. This provisional patent application describes the composition of the bioink, along with sample prints conducted using this bioink. We believe that this bioink that was developed in our lab will have applications in the production of our mini-hearts for cardiotoxicity testing.

A provisional patent application is an initial patent application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in order to establish a filing date, but does not begin the patent examination process.  For an invention to be patentable, it must be novel and nonobvious with respect to the prior art. Prior art includes publications, patents, and certain other material that was publicly available before the filing date of a patent application. Thus, by filing a provisional patent application and securing a filing date, the applicant limits the universe of prior art that may otherwise impact the patentability of the invention described in the application. A provisional patent application expires after one year, by which time the applicant needs to continue the patent process by filing a nonprovisional application. The nonprovisional application will be entitled to the benefit of the filing date of the provisional application to the extent that the invention described in the nonprovisional application is also described in the provisional application. In other words, when the nonprovisional application is examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (or foreign patent offices that similarly recognize the priority filing date of the provisional application), prior art will be limited to those items that were available before the filing date of the provisional patent application - newer art that first became available after the filing date of the provisional patent application would not be available to undermine the patentability of the claimed invention.

FDA Timeline Expectations

We are not aware of any current FDA regulatory requirements for sale or use of 3D printed organs. GLP data is required in the development of any human therapeutic and we plan to design our technology platform to support compliance with GLPAs. As we move into clinical and commercial settings, full compliance with the FDA’s cGTP (current Good Tissue Practices) and cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines will be required for suitable design and documentation for clinical use of our products. When we do, in fact, attempt to acquire FDA approvals, this process could take many years. While our initial release of our mini-heart is not expected to require FDA approval, each item we bioengineer for human transplantation will require FDA approval and as such shareholders should not expect that we will generate any revenues from those events for at least five years, if not more.

On December 4, 2017, the FDA released a statement regarding its policies related to 3D bioprinting. The FDA is currently making an effort to provide a comprehensive policy framework to manufacturers and a more efficacious pathway to getting state-of-the-art medical products into the hands of patients and healthcare providers. The FDA also plans to review the regulatory issues related to the bioprinting of biological, cellular, and tissue-based products in order to determine whether additional guidance is needed beyond the recently released regulatory framework on regenerative medicine medical products. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research has recently interacted with more than a half-dozen manufacturers who have expressed interest in using 3D printing in some capacity to produce their medical products.¹

Compassionate Use Exemption

At the appropriate time, after appropriate lab tests and trials regarding animals are complete, we might look to the use of a Compassionate Use Exemption for the fully bioengineered heart. Compassionate Use Exemption may be used when a patient is faced with a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and has no other options. The compassionate use provision may allow us to test our products on patients where their treating physician believes the device will save the life of the patient or if there is no other alternative.

The compassionate use provision provides a path to accessing investigational devices that have not received full FDA approval or clearance for patients for whom the treating physician believes the device may provide a benefit in treating and/or diagnosing their disease or condition. There is no guarantee the FDA will provide us this type of clearance as it is traditionally used for devices.

Right to Try Act

The Right to Try Act, or the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn, and Matthew Bellina Right to Try Act, was signed into law May 30, 2018. This law is another way for patients who have been diagnosed with life-threatening diseases or conditions who have tried all approved treatment options and who are unable to participate in a clinical trial to access certain unapproved treatments.²

The Right to Try Act permits/allows eligible patients to have access to eligible investigational drugs.

An eligible patient is a patient who has:

An eligible investigational drug is an investigational drug:

Medical Devices

We believe that our future products will be regulated in the United States similarly as Class III medical devices by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes based upon controls the FDA considers necessary to reasonably ensure their safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, adherence to good manufacturing practices and maintenance of product complaint records, but are usually exempt from premarket notification requirements. Class II devices are subject to the same general controls and also are subject to special controls such as performance standards and may also require clinical testing prior to approval. Class III devices are subject to the highest level of controls because they are life-sustaining or life-supporting devices. Class III devices require rigorous preclinical and clinical testing prior to their approval and generally require a pre-market approval, or PMA, or a PMA supplement approval by the FDA prior to their sale.

¹ U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Statement by FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on FDA ushering in new era of 3D printing of medical products; provides guidance to manufacturers of medical devices, December 4, 2017.

² U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Right to Try, January 14, 2020.

Manufacturers must file an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, application if human clinical studies of a device are required and if the FDA considers investigational use of the device to represent significant risk to the patient. The IDE application must be supported by data, typically including the results of animal and nonclinical laboratory testing of the device. The animal and nonclinical laboratory testing must meet the FDA’s good laboratory practice requirements. If the IDE application is approved by the FDA, human clinical studies may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a maximum number of patients, as approved by the FDA. The clinical studies must be conducted under the review of an independent institutional review board to ensure the protection of patients’ rights.

Generally, upon completion of these human clinical studies, a manufacturer seeks approval of a Class III medical device from the FDA by submitting a PMA or PMA supplement application. A PMA application must be supported by extensive data, including the results of the clinical studies, as well as testing and literature to establish the safety and effectiveness of the device. PMA approval may be conditioned upon the conduct of certain post-approval studies, such as long-term follow-up studies.

As an alternative to the PMA approval process, manufacturers may apply for a Humanitarian Use Device, or HUD, designation and a corresponding HDE. An HUD is a designation for a medical device intended to benefit patients in the treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition that affects or is manifested in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States per year. An applicant for an HUD designation must provide documentation that the device meets the criteria of an HUD as well as provide a description of the disease or condition the device is meant to treat, along with proposed indications and the reasons why the device is needed for its intended population. Once an HUD designation is obtained for the device, the device can be submitted for an HDE. An HDE application is similar to an application for a PMA, but is exempt from the effectiveness requirements of a PMA. Instead, the FDA must determine that the device does not expose patients to an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury, and that the probable benefit to health outweighs the risk of injury or illness from its use, taking into account the probable risks and benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms of treatment. “Reasonably obtainable” clinical data are required to support an HDE application. These data may be obtained from the clinical use of the device for a different HDE-approved indication or from a clinical study of the HUD designated device. If the clinical data are available from the clinical use of the device for a different indication, the HDE can be granted without an IDE. If clinical data are to be obtained from a clinical study of the HUD designated device, an IDE application is required to request approval for the clinical study. When the clinical study is completed, we can submit an HDE application for approval to market the device as an HUD.

Obtaining an HDE designation allows the manufacturer to market the device as an HUD up to a maximum of 4,000 patients in the United States per year. However, before a facility is permitted to use an HDE-approved device, other than for emergency use, it must receive approval from its applicable Institutional Review Board, or IRB. This could limit the number of patients eligible to receive an HDE-approved device each year. The device manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that an HDE-approved device is administered only in facilities having an IRB constituted and acting in accordance with the FDA’s regulations governing IRBs, including continuing review of use of the device.

Also, unless an HDE-approved device satisfies certain eligibility criteria, it cannot be sold for an amount that exceeds the costs of research and development, fabrication, and distribution of the device. In order to be sold at a price in excess of these costs, the HDE-approved device must satisfy one of the following criteria, which we refer to as the HDE Eligibility Criteria:

We believe that FDA regulations will require us to register as a medical device manufacturer with the FDA. Because of this, the FDA will most likely inspect us on a routine basis for compliance with the Quality System Regulation, or QSR. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and maintain related documentation in a prescribed manner with respect to manufacturing, testing and control activities. We have undergone and expect to continue to undergo regular QSR inspections in connection with the manufacture of our products at our facility. Further, the FDA most likely will require us to comply with various FDA regulations regarding labeling. Failure by us or by our suppliers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA or state authorities, which may include any of the following sanctions:

The Medical Device Reporting laws and regulations require us to provide information to the FDA on deaths or serious injuries alleged to have been associated with the use of our devices, as well as product malfunctions that likely would cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. In addition, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for off-label use. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including substantial monetary penalties and criminal prosecution.

We will also be subject to other federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory, and manufacturing practices.

Market Drivers

Cardiovascular disease is the leading underlying cause of death in the U.S.³ and accounts for about one-third of all deaths worldwide.⁴ In the U.S. alone, heart disease claims more than 659,000 lives every year.⁴ And only around 5,000 cardiac transplants occur worldwide every year.⁵ Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women globally.⁶ In fact, cardiovascular diseases surpass the annual mortality rate of all types of cancer combined.⁷ Just in the U.S., one person dies of a heart disease-related event every 36 seconds.⁸ In China, cardiovascular disease claims a life every ten seconds.⁹ In 2030, the global cost of cardiac disease is set to rise to $818 billion.¹⁰ This includes the cost of healthcare services, medicines, and lost productivity due to death. This is a global problem.

Optimizing a proposed groundbreaking cardiac tissue regeneration and organ replacement process, we plan to address a critical unmet need in the treatment of this devastating disease. While we plan to focus on the human heart, the process may also be leveraged to address numerous other medical challenges.

Ultimately, by providing viable tissues and/or organs bioprinted from a patient’s own cells to replace damaged organs, we plan to tap into a global market serving the continually expanding global human population.

Current human organ transplant capabilities – with their myriad challenges, high costs and other deficiencies – are ripe for the kind of innovation and process optimization that we look to deliver.

The global transplantation market size is expected to reach $19.52 billion by 2028 and the market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 11.5% from 2021 to 2028.¹⁰ In the U.S. alone, more than 100,000 people are on an organ transplant waiting list and many others need to be on the list but do not qualify due to disqualifying factors.¹¹ In 2009, 25 people per day died while on the waiting list in the U.S. alone.¹¹

And even for those fortunate enough to receive a heart donor transplant, approximately 50% still die within ten years of the transplant. ¹¹ Our proposed process specifically seeks to address this challenge. Medical applications for 3D printing are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize healthcare.¹²

Separate from our primary focus on organ transplants, we could potentially leverage its process to also participate in pharmaceutical discovery and address the need for better predictive tools that pharmaceutical companies can use to more efficiently test drug efficacy and/or toxicity. In 2020, the median capitalized research and development investment to bring a new drug to market was estimated at $985 million and the FDA approved 355 new drugs and biologics from 2009 through 2018.¹³ In 2019, the pharmaceuticals industry spent $83 billion for research and development drug discovery.¹⁴ Human tissues created by our process could make drug compound evaluation faster, more accurate and less risky than conventional testing methods used by pharmaceutical companies.

Yet another potentially significant opportunity that our process could provide is an alternative to pharmaceutical testing on animals. The FDA is committed to animal welfare in research by reducing, replacing and/or refining the use of animals in research. The agency is optimistic that cultivating new research approaches can help continue to reduce the need for animal testing.¹⁵

Competitive Positioning and Value Proposition

We are purpose-driven, with leadership that has set its sights on a single shared vision. We continue to assemble a best-in-class team with a history of success, a team we believe can navigate their way along the forefront of an evolution in life-sciences technology, and who can move and pivot quickly without the management bureaucracy or corporate red tape that might prevent some of our competitors from being efficient, innovative, or creative.

Standing ready to capitalize on a potentially significant market opportunity, we plan to take advantage of these favorable competitive dynamics for success. We plan to leverage and optimize the best available research and technology to revolutionize medical care through innovation and introduce a potential paradigm shift in three-dimensional patient-specific organ bioprinting.

We plan to strategically position ourselves at the center of an unprecedented convergence of regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, additive manufacturing, and computing technology – all having reached a level of maturity whereby we are convinced that commercially viable solutions can be created through optimization, not invention.

History documents many examples of commercially viable businesses – even entirely new industries – that were born not from an invention itself, but from the optimization of an evolutionary process. Consider these examples:

Our objective is not to invent new technology, but rather to improve, optimize, adapt, and capitalize on current technologies to create a commercially viable and sustainable process solution.

3D Bioprinting Optimized by BIOLIFE4D

For years, scientists, engineers, and hobbyists alike have been printing objects using 3D printing devices. The 3D printing industry alone has a projected worth of over $30 billion by 2022.¹⁶

That technology has more recently been put to use in applications involving living tissue. Today, advancements in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology and additive manufacturing have already enabled specialized 3D printing to produce human body parts including multilayered skin, bone, vascular grafts, tracheal splints, heart tissue, and cartilaginous structures – and even simple organs.¹⁷

By definition, 3D bioprinting is the process of creating cell patterns in a confined space using 3D printing technologies, thereby preserving cell function and viability within the printed construct. 3D bioprinting applies advances in regenerative medicine, adult stem cell biology, additive manufacturing, and computing technology to the development of functional biological structures with the potential to restore, maintain, improve, and/or replace existing organ function. 3D bioprinting is an emerging, groundbreaking strategy in tissue engineering, allowing the fabrication of living constructs with an unprecedented degree of complexity and accuracy.¹⁸

Everything in the human body is made up of cells, and nature itself has been evolving the capability of programming cells to do specific jobs for millions of years. The human embryo is the best example of this biological manufacturing process. Every cell begins as a stem cell and then is biologically programmed to do a specific job through the natural biologic process inside the body.

During the 3D bioprinting process, we plan to replicate the same conditions in vitro (outside of the body) as occur naturally in vivo (within the body) while promoting natural biologic processes in an accelerated timeframe and in a manner that allows the cells to be specialized for a desired purpose.

We will not have to make an exact copy or even recreate every feature set of the desired organ; it will only need to facilitate the minimum feature set which recreates the core properties of the organ. It is important to note that we do not believe we need to invent new technology but rather improve, adopt, and optimize current technologies to create what we plan to be a commercially viable and sustainable process.

Transformative Benefits of 3D Bioprinting Human Tissue

Delivering potentially transformative medical benefits, the 3D bioprinting process optimized by us could potentially:

The Safe Utilization of a Patient’s Own Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells play a safe, non-controversial and important role in our planned bioprinting process.

Because every cell in the human body has the same number of genes and the same DNA, recent discoveries have shown that every cell has the potential to be “re-programmed” and transformed into essentially any other cell. Originally, this kind of stem cell research was limited to cells taken from human embryos, creating a moral and ethical dilemma for many – but no longer. Our process would not involve any embryotic stem cells.

In 2006, Japanese Nobel Prize-winning stem cell researcher Dr. Shinya Yamanaka discovered that by introducing a few genes via a chemical procedure in lab, mature adult specialized cells (i.e., blood cells) could be reprogrammed to become adult stem cells.¹⁹ This development proved to be a major breakthrough that would spur medical advances such as the 3D bioprinting processes we are developing.

Adult stem cells, regardless of their source, have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves; they are unspecialized; and under certain conditions they can become tissue- or organ-specific cells with specialized functions. In short, these adult stem cells could be re-programmed into developing desired specialized cell types such as cardiomyocytes (heart cells). Adult stem cells that are induced in this manner are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).

In the planned process, iPS cells will be redirected into organ-specific cells through a process called differentiation which refers to the process by which one type of cell can be changed into different types of specialized cells. After the iPS cells are transformed into the specific organ cells desired, they are monitored to confirm they are the desired organ cell type and further tested to ensure they are viable and safe. These organ-specific cells are then incubated where they continue to divide and multiply in number to make sufficient quantities as needed to create the bio-ink used during the 3D bioprinting process.

The disciplines of 3D bioprinting and surgery have witnessed incremental transformations over the last century. 3D bioprinting is a convergence of biology and engineering technologies, mirroring the clinical need to produce viable biological tissue through advancements in printing, regenerative medicine, and materials science.²⁰

High-Level Bioprinted Organ Replacement Process Overview

Our proposed bioprinted organ replacement process begins with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test used to create a detailed three-dimensional image of a patient’s original heart. Using this image, a computer software program will construct a digital model of a new heart for the patient, matching the shape and size of the original. Next, doctors safely take cells from the patient via a blood sample, and leveraging recent stem cell research breakthroughs, we plan to reprogram those blood cells and convert them to create specialized heart cells. A “bio-ink” is created using these specialized cells, which is then fed into a 3D bioprinter to print a heart with the dimensions obtained from the MRI. The heart is then matured in a bioreactor, conditioned to make it stronger and readied for patient transplant, subject to the final determination and approval of the FDA and comparable regulatory bodies.

Detailed Bioprinted Organ Replacement Process Overview

Partnerships and Collaborations

In November 2017, we established a core facility partnership with Northwestern University. As part of this core facility partnership, no intellectual property or royalties were or will be transferred to or from any entity. We have not nor will we receive any funding or other monetary support as a result of this core facility partnership. This core facility partnership provides us with access to and use of the core research facilities and equipment at Northwestern University. The core partnership agreement remains in effect until one party provides the other party 20 days advance notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. We will attempt to establish additional research and development agreements with other universities, government backed institutions, hospitals, foundations, and pharmaceutical companies.

Competitive Landscape and Distinctions

There are players in the 3D bioprinting industry and adjacent fields, and it is important to make the distinction between what many of these companies do in comparison to our focus.

For example, some of the firms listed below tend to focus on creating tissues for pharmaceutical testing. Some focus on building and selling 3D bioprinting hardware devices. Others use 3D printers to create artificial limbs or models of organs.

In contrast, our ultimate goal is creating living, viable, fully-formed organs for transplant.

Our business and research competitors include the following:

U.S. Regulatory and Risk Considerations

At the time of this filing, bioprinted tissues used in research and education require no U.S. FDA approval during animal and in-vitro (outside of the body) testing. In a 2014 paper entitled “Bioprinting: Organs on Demand,” James S. Gwinn, III discussed risk and safety considerations involving bioprinting while conducting research for a program sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.²¹

“The FDA is tasked with evaluating all devices, including any that utilize 3D bioprinting technology, for safety and effectiveness, and appropriate benefit and risk determination, regardless of the manufacturing technologies used. Safety is paramount at the FDA with somewhat less emphasis placed on form and function. Safety, form, and function are relative terms, though. Over 28,000 times last year, the FDA allowed organ donations because they made the difference between life and death in otherwise terminally-ill patients. The agency allowed these transplants knowing full-well that virtually every organ transplant ever performed would likely fail without a near-constant stream of medication.”

Gwinn continued:

“Ultimately, the decision that must be made with regard to approving bioprinted organs could boil down to risk versus reward. The first patient-specific organs made via bioprinting may pose substantial risks to the patients. These patients will most likely have exhausted all other options before considering this method of treatment.”

Legal Proceedings

On August 28, 2020, holders of promissory notes totaling $600,000 filed a lawsuit naming us as a defendant alleging breach of contract in Cook County, Illinois. The file number is 2020L006166. Several of the noteholders’ cases were dismissed with prejudice. As of the date of this prospectus, two noteholders with $375,000 of notes remain in the lawsuit. The matter is still ongoing. Discovery is ongoing. We brought a Motion for Sanctions due to delays against the plaintiffs which was granted and we were awarded attorney’s fees. We have now brought a Second Motion for Sanctions due to further delays by the plaintiffs. A status court date is set for January 19, 2022.

Other than the above, we are not party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operation. However, we may from time to time after the date of this prospectus become subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. One or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which such claim or litigation is resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.

Accountants

On February 7, 2022, our board of directors approved the dismissal of IndigoSpire CPA Group LLC (“Indigo”) as our auditors, effective immediately.

Indigo was first engaged by us on November 5, 2019. No audit report of Indigo for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Biographical Information

Directors and Executive Officers

The following is a summary of certain biographical information concerning our current directors and our executive officers.

Steven Morris – Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors

Steven Morris has more than 20 years of extensive experience in the precision machining and manufacturing industries, including 15 years serving as President of privately-held Inland Midwest Corporation (IMC) from 2000 to 2014. He acquired a controlling interest in IMC and led the company’s transformation into a premier, state-of-the-art facility catering exclusively to the medical technologies industry. By concentrating on strategic process optimization, technical innovation, quality, and customer service, IMC became a preeminent supplier in the industry counting some of the largest U.S. and international medical companies as its customers. The company was marketed as a “boutique” supplier to select industry OEM leaders, including Medtronic Spinal and Biologics, Wright Medical, Biomet, and Zimmer.

Under Morris’ leadership, the company achieved much success including earning many Supplier of the Year awards from various customers. In fact, Medtronic, a multi-billion dollar international leader in the medical industry, ranked IMC among its top global suppliers for its Spine and Biologics division.

After several years of high profitability, Morris negotiated a successful exit strategy and sold the company in 2011. He remained on as President for more than two years following the sale.

After leaving IMC, from 2014 to 2016, he formed Creative Manufacturing Consulting Solutions (CMCS), a consulting company focused on achieving sustainable manufacturing solutions in the areas of operational and process optimization, quality system development and optimization, and industry and regulatory compliance – particularly those related to ISO and the FDA.

While leading CMCS, Morris simultaneously conducted more than two years of in-depth research into the specific processes and technologies of the 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine field – and quickly recognized the nearly unlimited financial and human potential of this emerging market. Coupling his vast hands-on experience in medical manufacturing with extensive research and a partnership with industry-leading experts he formed BIOLIFE4D in 2016, a regenerative medicine 3D bioprinting company with the goal of facilitating the biological printing of viable human organs for utilization in patient-specific human transplantation.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Composition

Our board of directors currently consists of three persons. After the completion of this offering, we expect our board of directors to remain the same, until the next election of directors by our shareholders.

Our board of directors believes its members collectively have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee our management, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing us, a willingness to devote the necessary time to board duties, a commitment to representing our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders, and a dedication to enhancing shareholder value.

There were no board of directors meetings held in 2021. All board actions were taken by unanimous written consent of the directors.

Director Independence

We currently have two independent directors on our board of directors. We use Nasdaq’s definition of “independence” to make this determination. Nasdaq provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship with which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

Under such definitions, our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and will review the independence of any new directors based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, in order to make a determination of independence. Our board of directors has determined that there are two independent directors on our board of directors.

Role of Our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly, and will have supporting committees, including the audit committee, compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee, who each will then support the board of directors by addressing risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management takes to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Committees of Our Board of Directors

We currently have an audit committee; compensation committee; and a nominations and corporate governance committee.

Audit Committee. We intend to comply with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and applicable Nasdaq corporate governance rules. These rules require that our audit committee be composed of at least three members by the end of the phase-in. At the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the audit committee must include one independent director. After 90 days from the effective date of the registration statement, the audit committee is required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors. After one year from the effective date of the registration statement, the audit committee must be exclusively independent directors. The audit committee will be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, we have certified to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

On the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, our audit committee is composed of Steven Morris, Stephen Simes, and Lisa Kelley, whereby two of the three members are independent. Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that Lisa Kelley and Stephen Simes meets the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 and Nasdaq rules. Lisa Kelley is the chairperson of our audit committee.

We have established a written charter for our audit committee, in which we set forth the duties of the audit committee to, among other matters, oversee (i) our financial reporting, auditing and internal control activities; (ii) the integrity and audits of our financial statements; (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors; (v) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; and (vi) our overall risk exposure and management.

On the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, our audit committee is composed of Steven Morris, Stephen Simes, and Lisa Kelley, whereby two of the three members are independent. Lisa Kelley is the chairperson of the compensation committee.

Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee provides oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct and monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether such guidelines are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. We have established a charter for our nominating and corporate governance committee which will be available on our website at https://biolife4d.com/.

At the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the nominating and corporate governance committee must include one independent director. After 90 days from the effective date of the registration statement, the nominating and corporate governance committee is required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

On the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, our audit committee is composed of Steven Morris, Stephen Simes, and Lisa Kelley, whereby two of the three members are independent. Lisa Kelley is the chairperson of our audit committee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that will apply to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and agents and representatives, including consultants. Following this offering, a copy of the code of business conduct and ethics will be available on our website at https://biolife4d.com/. We intend to disclose future amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. The inclusion of our website address in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Limitations on Liabilities and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

There are limitations of liability and indemnification and advancement rights applicable to our directors and officers. (See “Description of Securities—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”)

Director Compensation

We have a director compensation package that includes cash compensation as well as stock options. (See “Executive and Director Compensation—Director Compensation.”)

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation

Summary Compensation Table

The following table summarizes information regarding the compensation for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 for our named executive officers.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

We believe that the primary goal of executive compensation is to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders in a way that allows us to attract and retain the best executive talent.

Annual Base Salary. Base salary is designed to compensate our named executive officers at a fixed level of compensation that serves as a retention tool throughout the executive’s career. In determining base salaries, our compensation committee considers each executive’s role and responsibility, unique skills, future potential with us, salary levels for similar positions in our market and internal pay equity.

Option Plan. We plan to offer option awards to executives and other employees, in the discretion of the board of directors, considering the executive’s role and other compensation.

Health/Welfare Plans. We have a healthcare plan available to all employees, including our executives, who become eligible after 90 days of employment.

PTO Plan. Executives may take PTO at any time, at their own reasonable discretion.

Director Compensation

From our inception on November 14, 2016 to 2021, we paid no compensation to any member of our board of directors for services rendered as a director.

On February 4, 2022, we entered into Director Agreements with each of the members of the board of directors. Pursuant to the Director Agreements, the compensation to the directors is as follows: (a) cash compensation of $30,000 per annum; and (b) an annual grant of options to purchase 8,334 shares of common stock, the first grant being on the day of appointment, and thereafter being on the date of each annual re-election or re-appointment to the board of directors (the “Annual Grant”).

In addition, in the event that the director is a member of any committee, he or she will be entitled to (c) additional annual cash compensation of $4,000 for being a non-chair member; or (d) additional annual cash compensation of $8,000 for being the chair of a committee.

2022 Stock Option Plan

On February 3, 2022, we adopted the 2022 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan which provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our employees and the employees of any future subsidiary corporation, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employees, including directors and other service providers (the “2022 Stock Option Plan”).

Authorized Shares. A total of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options issued from the 2022 Stock Option Plan.

Plan Administration. Our board of directors administers our 2022 Stock Option Plan.

Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of options granted under our 2022 Stock Option Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

Options Granted. To date, pursuant to our 2022 Stock Option Plan, we have issued to our employees, officers, and directors 31,668 options to purchase shares of our common stock.

Non-transferability of Awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2022 Stock Option Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under our 2022 Stock Option Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under our 2022 Stock Option Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in our 2022 Stock Option Plan. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable, and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or Change in Control. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2022 Stock Option Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent award for any outstanding award, then such award will fully vest, all restrictions on the shares subject to such award will lapse, all performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable to the shares subject to such award will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all of the shares subject to such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable, for a specified period prior to the transaction. The award will then terminate upon the expiration of the specified period of time.

Amendment; Termination. The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Stock Option Plan provided such action will not impair the existing rights of any participant. Our 2022 Stock Option Plan will automatically terminate in 2032, unless we terminate it sooner.

2022 Restricted Stock Plan

On February 3, 2022, the board of directors adopted the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2022 Restricted Stock Plan”) which provides for the grant of common stock awards and performance awards to our officers, directors, and key employees or of any subsidiary corporation.

Purpose of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract, retain, motivate, and reward our officers, directors, and key employees or any of our Affiliates (“Participants”), by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of our common stock.

Stock Subject to the Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan is 1,666,667 shares of common stock. If any shares of common stock are forfeited, retained by us as payment of tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award, or surrendered to us to satisfy tax withholding obligations, such shares of common stock will be added back to the shares available for Awards. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan contains certain adjustment provisions relating to stock dividends, stock splits, and the like.

Administration of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will be administered by the board of directors. The board of directors will have the full power and authority to grant Awards to the persons eligible to receive such Awards and to determine the amount, type, terms, and conditions of each such Award.

Eligibility. Participants consist of such officers, directors, and key employees of us or any of our Affiliates as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines to be significantly responsible for our success and future growth and profitability and whom the board of directors may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Types of Awards. Stock Awards and Performance Awards may, as determined by the board of directors, in its discretion, constitute Performance-Based Awards.

Stock Awards. The board of directors is authorized to grant Stock Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock underlying each Stock Award. Each Stock Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the board of directors and as set forth in an Award agreement, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares and our right to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment or membership on the board of directors, as applicable, within specified periods.

Performance Awards. The board of directors is authorized to grant Performance Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock that may be subject to each Performance Award. Each Performance Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the board of directors and as set forth in an Award agreement. The board of directors will set performance targets at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participants and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions. Performance targets may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance.

The board of directors has the authority to adjust performance targets. The board of directors also has the authority to permit a Participant to elect to defer the receipt of any Performance Award, subject to the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Performance-Based Awards. Certain Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan and the compensation attributable to such Awards are intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

The board of directors determines whether Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan qualify as Performance-Based Awards. The board of directors will establish in writing the performance goals, the vesting period, the performance targets, and any other terms and conditions of the Award in its sole discretion.

Vesting. Awards granted to Participants under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of two years, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors.

If there is a Change in Control, all unvested Awards granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will become fully vested immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and such vested Awards will be paid out or settled, as applicable, within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, subject to requirements of applicable laws and regulations.

Subject to the discretion of the board of directors, if a Participant’s employment or membership on the board of directors is terminated due to death or Disability, then all unvested and/or unearned Awards will be forfeited as of such date.

Section 409A of the Code. Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. However, we will not be liable to any Participant or other holder of an Award with respect to any Award-related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

Transferability. Each Award granted under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will not be transferable otherwise than by a will or the laws of decent and distribution or as otherwise decided by the board of directors.

Fair Market Value. For purposes of the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan, “Fair Market Value” means, as of any given date, the closing price of a share of common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or such other public trading market on which shares of common stock are listed or quoted on that date.

Withholding. All payments or distributions of Awards made pursuant to the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements.

Amendments. The board of directors may amend the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate it at any time. However, no amendment will be made, without approval of our shareholders to (i) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan; (ii) modify the requirements as to eligibility for Awards under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan; or (iii) otherwise materially amend the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan as provided in Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Term of the Plan. The 2022 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its Effective Date.

Current Issuance. As of the date of this prospectus, there have been 7,918 shares of common stock issued under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan.

Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan

Our directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they would contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or executive officer may amend a Rule 10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional shares outside a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information subject to compliance with the terms of our policy on insider trading and communications with the public. Our directors and executive officers may not establish any such plan prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements described under “Underwriting.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We had the following transactions with related parties during the last two fiscal years:

In 2017, our CEO entered into an agreement to advance $250,000 to us to meet working capital needs. The advance bore interest at 9% per annum. In August 2020, the advance was repaid in full along with approximately $74,000 in accrued interest. In the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded interest expense – related party for this advance in the amount of approximately $24,000.

In 2020 and 2021, we used the bookkeeping services of an accounting firm in which our former CFO was a partner. We incurred $17,265 and $24,260 of fees for accounting services in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On May 18, 2022, our CEO, through his trust, the BioLife4D – SM Trust, obtained a $1 million loan from one of our shareholders pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note, dated as of May 18, 2022, in the principal amount of $1 million (the “SM Trust Loan”). The SM Trust Loan is secured by 33,334 shares of our common stock held by the BioLife4D – SM Trust pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, by and between the BioLife4D – SM Trust, as pledgor, and the shareholder as secured party. The funds received from the SM Trust Loan were then placed in a deposit account with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Deposit Account”) and used to serve as collateral for our $1 million Working Capital Loan from Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Lender”), pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated May 18, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

On December 6, 2022, our CEO, through his trust, the BioLife4D – SM Trust, obtained an additional loan of $500,000 from the same shareholder. The parties amended and restated the Secured Promissory Note from the SM Trust Loan, dated as of December 7, 2022, to increase the principal amount from $1 million to $1.5 million. The parties then also amended and restated the Stock Pledge Agreement to secure the SM Trust Loan, thereby increasing the pledge by the BioLife4D – SM Trust from 33,334 shares of common stock to 150,000 shares of common stock. The funds received from were placed in the same Deposit Account and used to serve as collateral for our $500,000 Second Working Capital Loan from the Lender, pursuant to an Assignment of Deposit Account, dated December 6, 2022, by and among the BioLife4D – SM Trust, us, and the Lender.

Upon our receipt of funds from the offering, we intend to immediately pay off the Working Capital Loan and Second Working Capital Loan. Following the payoff of the Working Capital Loan and Second Working Capital Loan, the Deposit Account will be released and used by the BioLife4D – SM Trust to repay the SM Trust Loan. In addition, we intend to use a portion of funds from this offering to reimburse to the BioLife4D – SM Trust any expenses incurred by BioLife4D – SM Trust as a result of the SM Trust Loan and for any other principal, expenses, interest, or fees accrued and owed to the shareholder after the release of the Deposit Account funds pursuant to the agreement between us and the BioLife4D – SM Trust, dated May 18, 2022 and December 7, 2022.

Steven Morris, our CEO, is the sole beneficiary and trustee of the BioLife4D – SM Trust and exercises voting power and control over the shares held by the trust.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

All future related party transactions will be voted upon by the disinterested board of directors. The audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for evaluating each related party transaction and making a recommendation to the disinterested members of the board of directors as to whether the transaction at issue is fair, reasonable and within our policy and whether it should be ratified and approved. The audit committee, in making its recommendation, will consider various factors, including the benefit of the transaction to us, the terms of the transaction and whether they are at arm’s-length and in the ordinary course of our business, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the size and expected term of the transaction and other facts and circumstances that bear on the materiality of the related party transaction under applicable law and listing standards. The audit committee will review, at least annually, a summary of our transactions with our directors and officers and with firms that employ our directors, as well as any other related person transactions.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, there are 3,611,687 shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately prior to and immediately after the completion of this offering by:

These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and Warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before the date which is 60 days after the date of this prospectus. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options and Warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

We were formed as a Delaware corporation as BioGen3D on November 14, 2016 and changed our name to BIOLIFE4D CORPORATION on June 5, 2017. We have 70,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.00001 par value. Immediately prior to this offering, there are 3,611,687 shares of our common stock outstanding. Upon the completion of this offering, as a result of the issuance of 3,627,053 shares in this offering, there will be 7,238,740 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding (assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their overallotment option).

Common Stock

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per each share on all matters to be voted upon by the common shareholders, and there are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which shareholders generally are entitled to vote. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock we may designate and issue in the future, holders of our common stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of our assets remaining after the payment in full of our liabilities.

Under the terms of our governing documents, the holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All currently outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by our shareholders. Our board of directors is authorized to divide the preferred stock into series and, with respect to each series, to fix and determine the designation, terms, preferences, limitations, and relative rights thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Without shareholder approval, we could issue preferred stock that could impede or discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders may believe is in their best interests or in which they may receive a premium for their common stock over the market price of the common stock.

Stock Options

On February 3, 2022, we adopted the 2022 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which we may grant equity awards to our employees, officers, directors, and certain service providers. There are 1,666,667 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2022 Stock Option Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 31,668 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock option pursuant to the 2022 Stock Option Plan, all of which have an exercise price of $40.50 per share and a term of five years.

Prior to adopting the 2022 Stock Option Plan, we also issued stock options to four members of our former management advisory board pursuant to certain stock option agreements. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 65,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options not part of our 2022 Stock Option Plan, all of which have an exercise price of $30.00 per share.

Restricted Stock Awards

On February 3, 2022, we adopted the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan, pursuant to which we may grant common stock awards and performance awards to our officers, directors, and key employees. There are 1,666,667 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 7,918 shares of our common stock awarded pursuant to the 2022 Restricted Stock.

Common Units

Each Common Unit consists of one share of common stock as described above and two Warrants, each exercisable for one share of common stock as described further below. The Common Units will not be issued or certificated. Purchasers of Common Units will receive only shares of common stock and Warrants. The common stock and Warrants may be transferred separately immediately upon issuance.

Warrants included in the Common Units

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Warrant Agent Agreement between us and ClearTrust, LLC, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), and the form of Warrant, both of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the Warrant Agent Agreement, including the annexes thereto, and form of Warrant.

Form. The Warrants will be issued under a Warrant Agent Agreement between us and ClearTrust, LLC, as Warrant Agent. The material terms and provisions of the Warrants offered hereby are summarized below. The following description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should review a copy of the form of Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Warrants.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance. The Warrants will thereafter remain exercisable at any time up to five years from the date of original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, accompanied by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price. The holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% upon election prior to issuance of any Warrants) of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

Exercise Price. Each Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to the public offering price per share of common stock, or $5.95 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock. Subject to certain exceptions outlined in the Warrant, for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the Warrant, if the Company issues or sells, enter into an agreement to sell and subsequently sells, or grant any option to purchase, or sells, enters into an agreement to sell and subsequently sells, or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition that subsequently closes) any shares of common stock or convertible security, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrant then in effect (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation of such Dilutive Issuance, the exercise price of the Warrant shall be reduced to equal the effective price per share in such Dilutive Issuance; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price of the Warrant be reduced to an exercise price lower than 50% of the public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. On the date that is 90 calendar days immediately following the initial issuance date of the Warrants, the exercise price of the Warrants will adjust to be equal to the Reset Price, provided that such value is less than the exercise price in effect on that date. The Reset Price is equal to the greater of (a) 50% of the Initial Exercise Price of the Warrants on the issuance date and (b) 100% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of common stock occurring on any day between the initial issuance date and 90 calendar days following the issuance date of the Warrants, that is from [  ], 2022 until [  ], 2022. The lowest Reset Price is $2.98, which is 50% of the offering price per share of common stock, based on an assumed offering price of $6.20 per Common Unit, the midpoint of the price range of the Common Units).

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred, or assigned without our consent.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction without regard to any limitations on exercised contained in the Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Warrants for cash (or other types or form of consideration in special circumstances listed in the Warrant) in the amount of the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in each Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Warrants and Warrant Agent Agreement provides that the validity, interpretation, and performance of the Warrants and the Warrant Agent Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.

Warrant Agent. ClearTrust, LLC will act as our Warrant Agent for the Warrants. The Warrants shall initially be represented only by one or more global Warrants deposited with the Warrant Agent, as custodian on behalf of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

Exchange Listing. We have applied to list the Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbol “SAVUW.” If the application is not approved, we will not complete this offering. No assurance can be given that a trading market will develop.

Underwriter’s Warrants

The material terms and provisions of the underwriter’s Warrants are described under the caption “Underwriting.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Delaware Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation at any time within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status; and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

These statutory provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of our company. They could also discourage, impede, or prevent a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interests of stockholders.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. In particular, the charter documents, as applicable, among other things:

Such provisions may have the effect of discouraging a third-party from acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by them, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change in control of our company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage some tactics that may be used in proxy fights. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our charter documents limit the liability of our directors and officers. Our charter documents state that we shall indemnify, in accordance with and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the company), by reason of his or her acting as a director or officer of the company (or a director or officer serving at the request of the company in any other capacity for or on behalf of the company) against any expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, judgments, fines, ERISA or other excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in respect thereof; provided, however, that, the company shall not be obligated to indemnify any such director or officer with respect to proceedings, claims, or actions initiated or brought voluntarily by such director and not by way of defense. Expenses that may be subject to indemnification hereunder shall be paid in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding to the full extent permitted by Delaware law subject to the company’s receipt of any undertaking required thereby. The provisions of this article of our charter documents shall be deemed to constitute a contract between us and each director or officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this article and the relevant provisions of Delaware law are in effect, and each such director or officer shall be deemed to be serving as such in reliance on the provisions of this article of the our charter documents, and any repeal of any such provisions or of such article of our charter documents shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. If a claim under this article of our charter documents is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant also shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been provided to the company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under Delaware law for the company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the company. Neither the failure of the company to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware law, nor an actual determination by the company that the claimant has not met such standard of conduct shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The rights of indemnification and advancement provided by this article of our charter documents are not exclusive of any other right to indemnification or advancement provided by law, agreement or otherwise, and shall apply to actions, suits, or proceedings commenced after the date hereof, whether or not arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Insofar as the above described indemnification provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers, or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we understand that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Exclusive Forum

Our bylaws provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or if the United States District Court does not have jurisdiction, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, shall, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee to us or our stockholders; (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time); or (iv) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The foregoing exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or Exchange Act, or any other claim or cause of action for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Although these provisions are expected to benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of applicable law in the types of lawsuits to which they apply, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against directors and officers, may increase the costs to bring a claim, and limit your ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that you find more favorable. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents have been challenged in legal proceedings and there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions. In addition, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against us, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our bylaws are inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

We have retained ClearTrust as the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and Warrants.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

General

Prior to this offering, there was no established public trading market for our securities. Even if our application to list our common stock and Warrants on Nasdaq Capital Market is approved, we cannot assure you that a significant public market for our securities will develop or be sustained following this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of our securities (including common stock issued on the exercise of options and Warrants) in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices as well as our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon completion of this offering and no exercise of the Warrants or the Underwriter’s Warrants, we will have 7,238,740 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (or 7,782,798 shares of common stock, if the underwriters exercise in full the overallotment option).

The securities sold in this offering will be freely tradable without further restriction or registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining outstanding shares of our common stock will be deemed “restricted securities” or “control securities” under the Securities Act. Subject to certain contractual restrictions, including the lock-up agreements described below, restricted securities and control securities may be sold in the public market only if (i) they have been registered or (ii) they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption.

Rule 144

Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is, or was at any time during the three months preceding a sale, deemed to be our “affiliate” would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, which would be approximately 72,387 shares of common stock immediately after this offering (assuming the underwriters do not elect to exercise their option to purchase additional shares), or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to a six-month holding period and requirements relating to manner of sale and notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Upon completion of this offering and subject to the lock-up agreements described above, we expect that approximately 29.81% of our outstanding common stock (or 27.72% of our outstanding common stock if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares), will be subject to limitations on sales by affiliates under Rule 144 (assuming such affiliates do not purchase any shares in this offering).

Rule 144 also provides that a person who is not deemed to be, or have been, at any time during the three months preceding a sale, our affiliate, and who has for at least six months beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock subject only to the availability of current public information regarding us. A person who is not deemed to be, or have been, at any time during the three months preceding a sale, our affiliate, and who has beneficially owned for at least one year shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock under Rule 144 without regard to the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

2022 Stock Option Plan

On February 3, 2022, we adopted our 2022 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to our employees and any parent and subsidiary corporation’s employees, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock and other stock awards to our employees, directors and certain service providers and the employees and service providers of any parent and subsidiary corporation. A total of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2022 Stock Option Plan. (See “Description of Securities—Stock Options.”)

2022 Restricted Stock Plan

On February 3, 2022, we adopted our 2022 Restricted Stock Plan which provides for the grant of common stock awards and performance awards to our officers, directors, and key employees and of our subsidiary corporations. A total of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2022 Restricted Stock Plan. (See “Description of Securities—Restricted Stock.”)

To date, pursuant to our 2022 Stock Option Plan, we have issued to our employees, officers, and directors 31,668 options to purchase shares of our common stock. The issuance of the above securities was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. Individuals who purchased securities as described above represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in such transactions.

The foregoing transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions or any public offering.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, our executive officers, directors and holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, not to directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock, enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. (See “Underwriting.”)

CERTAIN MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences to you of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of shares of our common stock and Warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus and any common stock received upon the exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “securities”). This discussion is not a complete analysis of all of the potential United States federal income tax consequences relating thereto, and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, it does not address any estate and gift tax consequences or any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws, or any other United States federal tax laws. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the securities, or that any such contrary position would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion is limited to holders who purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus and who hold the securities as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may be relevant to holders subject to special rules under the United States federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

If a partnership (or other entity taxed as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, upon the activities of the partnership, and upon certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our securities and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific United States federal income tax consequences to them.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the particular United States federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring, owning, and disposing of the securities, as well as any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax laws and any other United States federal tax laws.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of our securities who, for United States federal income tax purposes, is:

A “non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of our securities that is neither a “U.S. holder” nor an entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

Allocation of Purchase Price Between our Common Stock and Warrants

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the common stock and Warrants issued pursuant to this offering will be treated as a unit consisting of one share of common stock and the accompanying Warrant to acquire our common stock. The purchase price for each unit will be allocated between these two components in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time the unit is purchased by the holder. This allocation of the purchase price for each unit will establish the holder’s initial tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the common stock and the Warrants included in each unit. The separation of the common stock and the Warrant included in each Common Unit should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each holder should consult his, her, or its own tax advisor regarding the allocation of the purchase price between the common stock and the Warrant.

Election not to Accept Warrants

This discussion does not address the federal income tax consequences to an opt-out investor of electing not to accept Warrants. Each holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the federal income tax consequences of electing not to accept Warrants, including the impact on the holder’s tax basis in his, her, or its common stock and Warrants, if any.

Taxation of U.S. Holders

Distributions. If we make cash or other property distributions on our securities, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Subject to certain limitations, these distributions may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. holders that are corporations. Dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders generally will qualify for taxation at special rates as “qualified dividends” if such U.S. holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. The special rate will not, however, apply to dividends received to the extent that the U.S. holder elects to treat dividends as “investment income,” which may be offset by investment expense.

Amounts not treated as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first be applied against and reduce a U.S. holder’s tax basis in our securities, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a U.S. holder’s tax basis in our securities will be taxable as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares of our securities and will be treated as described under “—Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Common Stock” below.

Exercise and Expiration of Warrants. In general, a U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon exercise of a Warrant. The U.S. Holder will take a tax basis in the shares acquired on the exercise of a Warrant equal to the exercise price of the Warrant, increased by the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Warrant exercised (as determined pursuant to the rules discussed above). The U.S. Holder’s holding period in the shares of our common stock acquired on exercise of the Warrant will begin on the date of exercise of the Warrant or possibly the day after such exercise and will not include any period for which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant.

The lapse or expiration of a Warrant will be treated as if the U.S. Holder sold or exchanged the Warrant and recognized a capital loss equal to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Certain Adjustments to Warrants. The number of shares of common stock issued on the exercise of the Warrants and the exercise price of Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Adjustments (or failure to make adjustments) that have the effect of increasing a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits may, in some circumstances, result in a constructive distribution to the U.S. Holder. Adjustments to the conversion rate made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula which has the effect of preventing the dilution of the interest of the holders of our Warrants generally will not be deemed to result in a constructive distribution. If an adjustment is made that does not qualify as being made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula, a U.S. Holder of Warrants may be deemed to have received a constructive distribution from us, even though such U.S. Holder has not received any cash or property as a result of such adjustment. The tax consequences of the receipt of a distribution from us are described above under “Distributions.”

Sale or Other Taxable Dispositions of our Securities. If a U.S. holder sells or disposes of shares of our securities, such U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition and the U.S. holder’s adjusted basis in the securities for United States federal income tax purposes. This gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the securities for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information reporting will generally apply to U.S. holders with respect to payments of dividends on our securities and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of our securities. Certain U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments of dividends on shares of our securities and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of our securities unless the beneficial owner of shares of our securities furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, and certain other information, or otherwise establishes, in the manner prescribed by law, an exemption from backup withholding.

U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability, which may entitle the U.S. holder to a refund, provided the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.

Medicare Tax. A U.S. person that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to an additional tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. person’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. person’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. Net investment income generally includes dividends, and net gains from the disposition of securities, unless such income or gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). A U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust should consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in our securities.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

Distributions. Distributions that are treated as dividends (see “Taxation of U.S. Holders—Distributions”) generally will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends, or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If we cannot determine at the time a distribution is made whether or not the distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits (and therefore whether the distribution will be treated as a dividend), we intend to withhold from the distribution at the rate applicable to dividends. A non-U.S. holder may seek a refund from the IRS of any amounts withheld if it is subsequently determined that the distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must furnish to us or our paying agent a valid IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) certifying such non-U.S. holder’s qualification for the reduced rate. This certification must be provided to us or our paying agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated as required by law. Non-U.S. holders that do not timely provide us or our paying agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

If a non-U.S. holder holds our securities in connection with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and dividends paid on our securities are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s United States trade or business (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from United States federal withholding tax. To claim the exemption, the non-U.S. holder must generally furnish to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form).

Any dividends paid on our securities that are effectively connected with a non-U.S. holder’s United States trade or business (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in much the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a resident of the United States. A non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Distributions that we determine are in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and that are in excess of a non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our securities will be treated as gain from the sale of our securities as described under “—Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Securities” below.

Exercise and Expiration of Warrants. In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of Warrants into shares of common stock.

The expiration of a Warrant will be treated as if the Non-U.S. Holder sold or exchanged the Warrant and recognized a capital loss equal to the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. However, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be able to utilize a loss recognized upon expiration of a Warrant against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability unless the loss is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) or is treated as a U.S.-source loss and the Non-U.S. Holder is present 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met.

Certain Adjustments to Warrants. As described above under “—U.S. Holders—Certain Adjustments to Warrants,” an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants could result in a constructive distribution to a Non-U.S. Holder, which would be treated as described under “Distributions” above. Any resulting withholding tax attributable to deemed dividends would be collected from other amounts payable or distributable to the Non-U.S. Holder. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of any adjustments to the terms of the Warrants.

Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions of Shares of Our Securities. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and withholding tax relating to foreign accounts below, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax for gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our securities unless one of the following conditions is satisfied:

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the consequences of selling or otherwise disposing of our securities.

Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting. We must report annually to each non-U.S. holder of our securities and to the IRS the amount of payments on our securities paid to such non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to those payments. These information reporting requirements apply even if no withholding was required because the payments were effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a United States trade or business, or withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. This information also may be made available under a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Backup withholding, however, generally will not apply to distribution payments to a non-U.S. holder of our securities provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes to us or our paying agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI, or certain other requirements are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the holder is a U.S. person that is not an exempt recipient.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Tax Relating to Foreign Accounts. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provides that a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on certain payments (including dividends as well as gross proceeds from sales of stock giving rise to such dividends) made to a foreign financial institution (as specifically defined in the Code) and certain other foreign entities if such entity fails to satisfy certain new disclosure and reporting rules. FATCA generally requires that (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, the entity identifies and provides information in respect of financial accounts with such entity held (directly or indirectly) by U.S. persons and U.S.-owned foreign entities and (ii) in the case of a foreign non-financial institution, the entity identifies and provides information in respect of substantial U.S. owners of such entity. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders.

UNDERWRITING

Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis, is the underwriter of this offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement dated [ ], 2022 with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter named below and the underwriter named below has agreed to purchase from us, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of Common Units listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriter is committed to purchase all securities offered by us other than those covered by the overallotment option, if they purchase any securities. The obligations of the underwriter may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriter’s obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations, and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriter of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

The underwriter is offering the Common Units, shares of common stock, and Warrants subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by its counsel, and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Over-allotment Option

We have granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 544,058 additional shares of our common stock, representing 15% of the shares of our common stock sold in the offering, and/or up to 1,088,116 additional Warrants to purchase common stock, representing 15% of the Warrants sold in this offering, in any combination thereof. The purchase price to be paid per additional share of common stock will be equal to the public offering price of one Common Unit, less the price per Warrant included within the Common Unit and the underwriting discount and non-accountable expense. The purchase price to be paid per additional Warrant will be $0.01. The underwriter may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering overallotments, if any, in connection with this offering. Any shares of our common stock or Warrants issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of our common stock or Warrants that are the subject of this offering.

Discounts and Commissions

The following table summarizes the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds before expenses to us assuming both no exercise and full exercise by the underwriter of the overallotment option:

We have agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the underwriter equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received in this offering (including the proceeds received from the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option). We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with the offering including (a) all filing fees and expenses related to the registration of securities with the SEC; (b) all fees and expenses related to the review of this offering by FINRA; (c) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of our securities on an exchange; (d) all fees, expenses, and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the securities under the “blue sky” securities laws; (e) all fees, expenses, and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification, or exemption of the securities under the securities laws of foreign jurisdictions; (f) the costs of all mailing and printing; (g) transfer and/or stamp taxes; (h) fees and expenses of our accountants; and (i) $100,000 for fees and expenses including “road show” and diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements for the underwriter’s legal counsel.

We estimate the expenses of this offering payable by us, not including underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $335,000.

Underwriter’s Warrants

We have agreed to issue to the underwriter or its designees, upon the closing of this offering, Warrants to purchase up to a total of 5.0% of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering (excluding any shares sold through the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”). The Underwriter’s Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants are also being registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable at $7.43 per share (125% of the public offering price per share of common stock in the offering). The Underwriter’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing on a date which is six months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (which is the commencement date of sale of this offering) and expiring on the date that is no more than five years from the commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110.

The Underwriter’s Warrants are deemed underwriter compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110 of FINRA. The underwriter (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these Warrants or the securities underlying these Warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of this offering. The Warrants may be exercised as to all, or a lesser number of shares of common stock and will provide for cashless exercise in the event there is not an effective registration statement for the underlying shares. In addition, the Underwriter’s Warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the commencement of sales of this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the commencement of sales of this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). The Warrants will have anti-dilution terms that are consistent with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(E) and (F). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. However, neither the Underwriter Warrant exercise price, nor the number of shares of common stock underlying such Warrants, will be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock by the Company at a price below the exercise price of the Underwriter’s Warrants.

Right of First Refusal

For the period beginning on the closing date of the offering and ending 18 months after the closing date of the offering, we have granted the underwriter a right of first refusal to act as the sole book-runner, sole manager, sole placement agent, or sole agent with respect to future public and private equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt securities (excluding commercial bank debt) offerings during such 18-month period, or any successor to or any of our subsidiaries.

Securities Issuance Standstill

We have agreed, for a period of 180 days after the closing date of this offering, that we will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, offer, sell, issue, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our equity; file any registration statement relating to the offering of any equity or any securities convertible into equity, except for the exercise of the convertible securities, which have been allotted or will be allotted by us, provided that the issuance of our shares of common stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of us pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, approved by our holders and issued for bona fide services permissible under Form S-8, or the issuance of equity securities in connection with certain acquisitions or strategic relationships is permitted. In no event should any equity transaction within this period result in the sale of equity at an offering price to the public less than that of this offering.

Tail Financing

We have agreed to pay the above cash compensation to the extent that any fund which the underwriter contacted or introduced to us during the term of our engagement agreement with the underwriter provides financing or capital in any public or private offering or capital raising transaction during the 12 month period following expiration or termination of our engagement letter with the underwriter.

Discretionary Accounts

The underwriter does not intend to confirm sales of the securities offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, our executive officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of our common stock, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, and for a period of 180 days after the closing date of this offering not to (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock, (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities relating to this offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Electronic Offer, Sale, and Distribution of Securities

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more underwriter or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and one or more of the underwriter participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of securities to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or any underwriter in its capacity as underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Stabilization

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, overallotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids, and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

Overallotment transactions involve sales by the underwriter of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares overallotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the overallotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares that they purchase in the overallotment option. The underwriter may close out any short position by exercising their overallotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the overallotment option. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by exercise of the overallotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our securities. As a result, the price of our securities in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, underwriter and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

Offer Restrictions Outside of the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriter that would permit a public offering offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that country or jurisdiction.
