CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements contained in this prospectus other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations, financial position, market size and opportunity, our business strategy and plans, the factors affecting our performance and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “grow,” “target,” “if” and similar expressions and their negatives are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described 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. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements about:

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

You should read this prospectus, the documents that incorporated by reference herein, and the documents we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of Shares offered by this prospectus will be for the account of the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will bear all brokerage commissions and similar expenses attributable to the sale of the Shares under this prospectus, and we will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of such Shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

Material Relationships with the Selling Stockholders

Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration with Medifast, Inc. through and with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast”). Medifast will utilize the Company’s virtual care technology platform to provide its clients access to a clinically supported weight management program, including GLP-1 medications, which are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with Type 2 diabetes but can also treat obesity. Pursuant to certain agreements between the parties, Medifast has agreed to pay to the Company the amount of $10 million to support the collaboration, funding enhancements to the Company platform, operations and supporting infrastructure, of which $5 million was paid at the closing on December 12, 2023, $2.5 million was paid on March 18, 2024, and the remaining $2.5 million was paid on June 5, 2024 (the “Medifast Collaboration”).

In connection with the Medifast Collaboration, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Medifast’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., whereby the Company issued 1,224,425 shares of its common stock in a private placement (the “Medifast Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $8.1671 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $10 million. The Company granted Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. the right, for a period contemporaneous with the ongoing collaboration, to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board of Directors of the Company, entitled to attend Board meetings. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

John R. Strawn, Jr.

John R. Strawn, Jr. is a director of the Company. Mr. Strawn was previously a partner of the law firm Cruse Scott Henderson & Allen LLP. On August 9, 2004, Cruse Scott Henderson & Allen LLP entered into a power of attorney and contingent fee contract with Immudyne, Inc. (“Immudyne”), a predecessor of the Company , for the provision of legal services on a contingent fee basis. Pursuant to this agreement, Immudyne settled two cases resulting in a return of 9,720 shares of common stock from former executives to Immudyne, 3,888 of which were issued to Cruse Scott Henderson & Allen LLP as payment pursuant to the contingent fee arrangement. On October 30, 2012, 467 of these shares were subsequently transferred to Mr. Strawn, as a former partner of Cruse Scott Henderson & Allen LLP. These shares were issued without vesting or other conditions.

Mr. Strawn is a founding partner of Strawn Pickens LLP. During 2011, Strawn Pickens LLP provided legal services to Immudyne, Inc., a predecessor of the Company. On March 9, 2012, Immudyne issued 80,000 shares to Strawn Pickens LLP in settlement of $70,000 in outstanding fees for these legal services, based on a price per share of $0.875 from a recent private placement. 60,000 of these shares are registered for resale pursuant to this registration statement. These shares were issued without vesting or other conditions.

The shares described above are adjusted for the 1:5 reverse split effective October 14, 2020.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the Shares on the principal trading market for the Shares or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Shares:

The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of our Common Stock, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, Rule 5110; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the Shares or interests therein, certain Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Certain Selling Stockholders may also sell the Common Stock short and deliver these Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these Shares. Certain Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Shares offered by this prospectus, which such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the date that all the Shares (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by counsel for us pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the transfer agent and the affected holders. The Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

At the time a particular offer of the Shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

LEGAL MATTERS

Dorsey & Whitney LLP will issue an opinion regarding the legality of certain of the offered securities.

EXPERTS

Marcum LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which report is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. We have incorporated by reference our financial statements in this Prospectus and in this Registration Statement in reliance on the report of Marcum LLP given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting dated March 11, 2024, expresses an opinion that LifeMD, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 because of the effect of material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria. The audit report identifies material weaknesses related to (i) an ineffective control environment resulting from ineffective design, implementation, and operation of controls over program change management, user access and vendor management controls, and (ii) business process controls across the entity’s financial reporting processes that were not effectively designed and implemented to properly address the risk of material misstatement.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Each director has entered into a Director Agreement which includes indemnification provisions.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in our bylaws. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from their service, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Our amended certificate of incorporation provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, no director shall be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
