**Overview**

We are a biopharmaceutical company in transition, evaluating the development of a dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform for the biotechnology industry. Our current focus is leveraging our mesenchymal stem cell secretome ("MSC-S") platform to test development of a scalable AI platform-as-a-service business to deploy secure, purpose-built AI systems directly within biotech and pharmaceutical client environments. We have historically been engaged in the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare and severe diseases of the front and back of the eye. Our lead product candidate was KPI-012, MSC-S, which we acquired from Combangio, Inc. ("Combangio") on November 15, 2021. KPI-012 was in clinical development for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects ("PCED"), a rare disease of impaired corneal healing. Based on the results of a Phase 1b clinical safety and efficacy trial of KPI-012 in patients with PCED, we submitted an investigational new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), which was accepted in December 2022. In February 2023, we dosed our first patient in the United States in our CHASE (Corneal Healing After SEcretome therapy) Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 for PCED (the "CHASE trial"). By September 2025, the CHASE trial did not meet its primary endpoints, and we determined to discontinue our development of KPI-012 and the MSC-S platform. We have since expanded upon our business to evaluate strategic alternatives for our legacy MSC-S assets and capitalize on the substantial intellectual property (IP), proprietary biological datasets, and research experience generated during the clinical trials by starting development of an AI platform.

We are in the process of evaluating and transitioning from historical biologics research and development (R&D) activities to an "AI platform-as-a-service" model intended to provide dedicated, on-premises artificial intelligence infrastructure solutions to biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers. Following the discontinuation of the CHASE Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 in September 2025 and the subsequent resolution of our obligations to Oxford Finance, our current operating focus is (i) the monetization or out-licensing of remaining biologics-related assets and (ii) development and commercialization planning for our licensed Researgency agentic AI platform (the "Researgency Platform"). This transition is expected to impact our operating expenses, capital requirements, and sources and uses of cash as described further below.

We have refocused our business on two complementary strategic priorities. First, we are preserving and seeking to maximize the value of our MSC-S biologics asset portfolio, including the KPI-012 and KPI-014 product candidates and related intellectual property, through potential licensing, collaboration, and other strategic arrangements with third parties, as well as through evaluation of opportunities to resume preclinical development activities subject to the availability of additional capital. Second, we are building our Researgency business through our exclusive license for the Researgency Platform, which we intend to deploy as a dedicated, on-premises AI infrastructure solution for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We believe this dual-track strategy preserves and creates optionality with respect to our biologics assets while simultaneously pursuing a potential business opportunity in the rapidly growing AI platform market for the biotechnology industry.

On March 3, 2026, we entered into an exclusive license for the Researgency AI research platform ("Researgency") from Younet AI ("Younet"), through which we intend to test and assess the feasibility of offering a dedicated AI infrastructure partner for the biotechnology industry. Our goal is to enable companies of all sizes to unlock the value of their proprietary biological data without surrendering control of it through the development of a specialized agentic AI research platform.

*Suspension of Clinical Trial*

On September 28, 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") determined to cease development of KPI-012 and the MSC-S platform because the CHASE trial did not meet the primary endpoint of complete healing of PCED as measured by corneal fluorescein staining. The CHASE trial also failed to achieve statistical significance for key secondary efficacy endpoints, with no meaningful difference observed between either KPI-012 treatment arm and the placebo arm. In connection with such decision, we implemented a reduction in our workforce of approximately 19 employees, or approximately 51%.

*Younet AI Licensing Agreement and the Researgency Platform*

Following the decision to suspend the CHASE trial, and as part of our strategic transition, on March 3, 2026, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Younet (the "Younet License Agreement"), pursuant to which we secured worldwide exclusive rights to Researgency, specifically adapted for biotechnology applications. Under our license for Researgency, we plan to evaluate whether the platform can be configured to support biotechnology research workflows and data-governance requirements. Specific technical configurations and commercialization plans, including pricing and service levels, remain under development and subject to customer requirements and applicable laws and guidance.

Our strategy is to pursue two complementary business lines: (i) the monetization of a proprietary biologics asset portfolio centered on the Company's MSC-S platform and its associated IP, and (ii) the development of the Researgency business, through which the Company intends to deploy Researgency to provide a dedicated, on-premises AI infrastructure solution for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Key elements of our current strategy include:

● Preserve and seek to monetize our MSC-S biologics asset portfolio. We are preserving our MSC-S platform intellectual property, including the KPI-012 and KPI-014 product candidates and related patents and know-how, and are evaluating strategic options with respect to those assets, including licensing, sale, out-licensing, collaboration, and other arrangements with one or more third parties. We may evaluate preclinical activities in the future if we secure additional funding and identify suitable development partners. We do not have any ongoing clinical trials as of the date of this filing.

● Develop and aim to deploy Researgency as a dedicated biotechnology industry solution. Through our exclusive license for Researgency, we intend to serve as a dedicated AI infrastructure partner for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Researgency is designed for on-premises deployment within client environments, enabling customers to leverage advanced AI capabilities while maintaining complete control over their proprietary biological data and intellectual property. We also intend to offer the platform on a platform-as-a-service basis, together with implementation support, maintenance subscriptions, and data analytics services, targeting mid-size biotechnology companies, contract research organizations, and pharmaceutical companies as our primary customer base. Any commercialization, pricing and feature set remain subject to further development, validation, applicable regulatory compliance and customer demand.

● Evaluate Researgency using our proprietary KPI-012 research dataset. As an initial step toward potential commercialization of Researgency, we intend to use our accumulated KPI-012 clinical development dataset, which includes data from 79 patients across 37 clinical trial sites together with related regulatory submission materials, as a proof-of-concept validation environment. This self-validation approach is designed to generate reference case studies and to refine platform capabilities using real-world biotechnology research data prior to commercial deployment with external customers. There can be no assurance that these efforts will identify commercially actionable opportunities.

● Pursue strategic arrangements across both business lines. We plan to pursue value-driven strategic transactions across both our biologics portfolio and our Researgency business, which may include licensing.

*Reverse Stock Split* 

On May 7, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate of Incorporation") with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the shares of our common stock, either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), effective as of 4:05 p.m. (Delaware time) on May 8, 2026 (the "Effective Time"). As previously reported, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders on January 30, 2026 (the "Special Meeting"), at which Special Meeting the Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-100, with such ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors (the "Board") and included in a public announcement. The Board determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-50 and approved the corresponding final form of the Certificate of Amendment.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock at 4:05 p.m. (Delaware Time) on May 8, 2026, was automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders that would hold fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split were entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of said fractional shares based on the closing price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 7, 2026. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 929,491,578 shares to 18,589,787 shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation remained unchanged at 1,500,000,000 shares.

The Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 11, 2026. The trading symbol for the Common Stock remained "KALA." The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 483119301.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus relating to our common stock, including share counts, per share amounts, exercise prices and share reserves, is presented on a pre–Reverse Stock Split basis and has not been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Subsequent SEC filings after the Effective Time may reflect post–Reverse Stock Split amounts

 **Unaudited Financial Information**

The impact of the Reverse Stock Split included herein has been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, this information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report").

The unaudited information includes the accounts of KALA BIO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kala Pharmaceuticals Security Corporation and Combangio, Inc. ("Combangio"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 **Summary of Relevant Reverse Stock Split Information** 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock was combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Below is the historical impact on the Loss Per-Share for the years-ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2025 and June 9, 2026 were 121,824, 556,995 and 18,589,787, respectively.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended <br> December 31,** | **Year Ended <br> December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
|  | **Unaudited** | **Unaudited** |
| Numerator: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $(26980) | $(38511) |
| Denominator: |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted<sup>(1)</sup> | 162966 | 75921 |
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $(165.56) | $(507.25) |

---

(1) Included in the weighted-average
 common shares outstanding, basic and diluted are vested but deferred shares for which all contingencies have been satisfied. Number
 of shares, and per share information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split.

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The share amounts presented below represent the average of the number of incremental shares included in each quarterly calculation:

**Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company**

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and, if we are a smaller reporting company with less than $100 million in annual revenue, we would not be required to obtain an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm.

**Corporate Information**

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2009. On August 2, 2023, we changed our name from Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to KALA BIO, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 1167 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02476, and our telephone number is (781) 996-5252. Our website address is www.kalarx.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not and shall not be deemed to be a part of this prospectus or incorporated by reference hereto. Through our website, we will make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

**The Securities We May Offer**

We may offer up to $350,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, various series of debt securities, warrants, units and/or subscription rights in one or more offerings and in any combination. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. A prospectus supplement, which we will provide each time we offer securities, will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of these securities.

*Common Stock*

We may issue shares of our common stock from time to time. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available for that purpose. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but intend to retain our capital resources for reinvestment in our business.

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of stockholders. The holders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Each election of directors by our stockholders will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election. Other than the election of directors, all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) to authorize, affirm, ratify or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by our Certificate of Incorporation, our Third Amended and Restated By-Laws (the "Bylaws"), the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to us, applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to us or our securities.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights or other subscription rights, conversion rights, redemption or sinking fund provisions. Subject to the rights of the holders of our preferred stock, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of the Board and issued in the future.

*Preferred Stock*

We may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. The Board will determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by stockholders. Convertible preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock or exchangeable for our other securities. Conversion may be mandatory, at the option of the holder, or both and would be at prescribed conversion rates. If we sell any series of preferred stock under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplements, we will fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock of such series in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.

For a description of the Series AA Preferred Stock, see "Description of Capital Stock" on page 10 of this prospectus.

*Debt Securities*

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term "indentures" to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term "debenture trustee" to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

*Warrants*

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock or preferred stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities. We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into warrant agreements with a bank or trust company that we select to be our warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the warrants. We urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the particular series of warrants being offered, as well as the warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement or warrant certificate containing the terms of the warrants we are offering before the issuance of the warrants.

*Subscription Rights*

We may issue subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock or other securities. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference reports that we file with the SEC, the form of such agreement and any supplemental agreements that describe the terms of the subscription rights we are offering before the issuance of such subscription rights.

*Units*

We may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, and/or warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock in one or more series. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the units. We urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the series of units being offered, as well as the unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that describe the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units.

**Risk Factors**

*An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the specific factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein by reference, as updated or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."*

**Use of Proceeds**

We cannot assure you that we will receive any proceeds in connection with securities which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, product development and manufacturing, sales and marketing and working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds, if any, we receive in connection with securities offered pursuant to this prospectus for any purpose. We may initially invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or apply them to the reduction of short-term indebtedness.

**Description of Capital Stock**

The following description of common stock and preferred stock summarizes the material terms and provisions of the common stock and preferred stock that we may offer under this prospectus, but is not complete. For the complete terms of our common stock and preferred stock, please refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and any certificates of designation for our preferred stock. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future common stock or preferred stock that we may offer, we will describe the specific terms of any series of preferred stock in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any preferred stock we offer under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorize us to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof

**Common Stock**

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Each election of directors by our stockholders will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by the Board, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.

In the event of the Company's liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our common stock rank junior to holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock, and are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and following any distributions to holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. No sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of 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 our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. All outstanding shares of our common stock are validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. The transfer agent's address is 28 Liberty Street, Floor 53, New York, NY 10005. Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "KALA."

**Preferred Stock**

The Board is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further action by the holders of common stock. The shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

The Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences, and rights and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, of each such series of preferred stock, including without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock, and the number of shares constituting such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing.

*Series AA Preferred Stock*

We have designated 900,000 shares of preferred stock as Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Series AA Preferred Stock"). The following are the principal terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock:

*Dividends*. If the Board declares a dividend or other distribution on the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"), payable in cash, in kind, or in other securities or property (other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock), holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive "Participating Dividends" in an amount equal to the dividends that would have been payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Series AA Preferred Stock could be converted as of the applicable record date (or, if no record date is established, as of the date of such dividend), determined without regard to any restrictions on conversion. Participating Dividends are payable at the same time as dividends on the Common Stock are paid.

*Voting Rights*. The Series AA Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except as required by law (including without limitation, the DGCL). However, so long as any shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not take certain actions without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock (the "Requisite Holders"), including: (i) adverse amendments to the Certificate of Designations, (ii) certain adverse amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or filing of a new preferred certificate of designations) that adversely affects the Series AA Preferred Stock, (iii) increasing or decreasing (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series AA Preferred Stock, or (iv) entering into an agreement to do any of the foregoing.

To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of holders of Series AA Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Requisite Holders of Series AA Preferred Stock, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of the Required Holders, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series (in each instance, except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL), shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable.

*Liquidation*. The Series AA Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to the Common Stock and any "Junior Securities" (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), (ii) on parity with any "Parity Securities" (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (iii) junior to any "Senior Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designations"). Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities, upon a dissolution, each holder of Series AA Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions to holders of Common Stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Series AA Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount per share of Series AA Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (A) the stated value of such share of Series AA Preferred Stock (plus any dividends declared but unpaid on such share of Series AA Preferred Stock) on the date of such payment and (B) the amount per share such holder would receive if such holder converted such Series AA Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the date of such payment.

 *Conversion*. The Series AA Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $1.818(the "Series AA Conversion Price"). The Series AA Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like.

**Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws**

*Preferred Stock*

The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable the Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to gain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of the Company or stockholders, the Board could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Certificate of Incorporation grants the Board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

*Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders.*

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholders of the Corporation may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Bylaws similarly provide that, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders may not take any action by consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws further provide that special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by only the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and may not be called by any other persons.

*Business Combinations.*

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which relate to business combinations with interested stockholders, applies to the Company. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with any "interested stockholder" for three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the Board, the business combination is approved by the Board and stockholders in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the Company's outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder. A "business combination" includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving the Company and the "interested stockholder" and the sale of more than 10% of the Company's assets. In general, an "interested stockholder" is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

*Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations*.

The Company's Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must meet specified procedural requirements. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

*Exclusive Forum Charter Provision*.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or its stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Company notes that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although the Company believes this provision benefits the Company by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Company's directors and officers.

*Directors' Liability*.

The Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL and provides that no director will have personal liability to the Company or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. However, these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of any of the Company's directors:

● for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

● for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● under the DGCL; or

● for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

**Description of Debt Securities**

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term "indentures" to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term "debenture trustee" to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

The following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.

**General**

Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.

We will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:

● the title or designation;

● the aggregate principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be issued;

● the currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities of such series are denominated and the currency or units in which principal or interest or both will or may be payable;

● whether we will issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of any global securities and who the depositary will be;

● the maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;

● the interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;

● whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;

● the terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;

● the place or places where payments will be payable;

● our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;

● the date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional redemption provisions;

● the date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder's option to purchase, the series of debt securities;

● whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;

● whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;

● a discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;

● the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof; and

● any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Conversion or Exchange Rights**

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

**Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction**

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate.

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

**Events of Default Under the Indenture**

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

● if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;

● if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;

● if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

● if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

● the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

● subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

● the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

● the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and

● the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

We will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.

**Modification of Indenture; Waiver**

Under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

● to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and

● to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to such indenture.

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

● extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;

● reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities;

● reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

● making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or

● reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; *provided*, *however*, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

**Discharge**

Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for obligations to:

● the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

● replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

● maintain paying agencies;

● hold monies for payment in trust;

● compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

● appoint any successor trustee.

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

**Form, Exchange and Transfer**

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series.

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

● issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

● register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

**Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee**

The debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

**Payment and Paying Agents**

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, will we make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

**Governing Law**

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

**Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities**

Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

**Description of Warrants**

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with common stock or preferred stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.

We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into a warrant agreement with a warrant agent. Each warrant agent may be a bank that we select which has its principal office in the United States. We may also choose to act as our own warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of any such warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:

● the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;

● if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;

● if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

● in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number or amount of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which and currency in which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;

● the manner of exercise of the warrants, including any cashless exercise rights;

● the warrant agreement under which the warrants will be issued;

● the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;

● anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, if any;

● the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;

● any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;

● the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire or, if the warrants are not continuously exercisable during that period, the specific date or dates on which the warrants will be exercisable;

● the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;

● the identities of the warrant agent and any calculation or other agent for the warrants;

● federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;

● the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;

● any securities exchange or quotation system on which the warrants or any securities deliverable upon exercise of the warrants may be listed or quoted; and

● any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including, in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.

**Exercise of Warrants**

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time, the close of business, on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required exercise price by the methods provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate, and in the applicable prospectus supplement, the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.

**Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants**

Any warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action the holder's right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants in accordance with their terms.

**Warrant Agreement Will Not Be Qualified Under Trust Indenture Act**

No warrant agreement will be qualified as an indenture, and no warrant agent will be required to qualify as a trustee, under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Therefore, holders of warrants issued under a warrant agreement will not have the protection of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to their warrants.

**Governing Law**

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, each warrant agreement and any warrants issued under the warrant agreements will be governed by New York law.

**Description of Subscription Rights**

The following is a general description of the terms of the subscription rights we may issue from time to time. Particular terms of any subscription rights we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such subscription rights, and may differ from the terms described herein.

We may issue subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock or other securities offered hereby. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. Each series of subscription rights will be issued under a separate subscription rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the subscription rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of subscription rights certificates or beneficial owners of subscription rights. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of subscription rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

● whether shares of our common stock or other securities will be offered under the stockholder subscription rights;

● the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the subscription rights distribution;

● the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

● the exercise price payable for each security upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

● the number of subscription rights issued to each stockholder;

● the number and terms of the securities which may be purchased per each subscription right;

● the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;

● any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights;

● the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire;

● the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;

● terms relating to the withdrawal, termination or cancellation of the subscription rights, if any;

● the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;

● if appropriate, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

● if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights.

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights.

Each subscription right will entitle the holder thereof to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subscription rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the subscription rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Holders may exercise subscription rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the subscription rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the subscription rights. If less than all of the subscription rights issued in any subscription rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Rights Agent**

The rights agent for any subscription rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

**Description of Units**

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder, with the rights and obligations of a holder, of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any times before a specified date or upon the occurrence of a specified event or occurrence.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

● the designation and the terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

● any unit agreement under which the units will be issued;

● any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

● whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

**Plan of Distribution**

We may sell the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including, without limitation:

● to or through underwriters;

● through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal);

● through agents;

● directly by us to one or more purchasers (including our affiliates and stockholders), through a specific bidding or auction process, a rights offering or otherwise;

● through a combination of any such methods of sale; or

● through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.

The distribution of securities may be effected, from time to time, in one or more transactions, including:

● block transactions (which may involve crosses) and transactions on Nasdaq or any other organized market where the securities may be traded;

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus;

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

● sales "at the market" to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; and

● sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers.

● The applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

● the name or names of any underwriters, if, and if required, any dealers or agents;

● the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

● any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters' compensation;

● any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and

● any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed or traded.

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

● a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

● market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

● prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

● negotiated prices.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used in an offering, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters and will specify the name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus supplement. The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more investment banking firms or others, as designated. If an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities, if any are purchased.

We may grant the underwriters options to purchase additional securities to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price, with additional underwriting commissions or discounts, as may be set forth in a related prospectus supplement. The terms of any over-allotment option will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for those securities.

If we use a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be specified in a prospectus supplement.

We may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, any agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the securities for whom they act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities, and any institutional investors or others that purchase securities directly for the purpose of resale or distribution, may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale of the common stock by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

We may provide agents, underwriters and other purchasers with indemnification against particular civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or other purchasers may make with respect to such liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

To facilitate the public offering of a series of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than have been sold to them by us. In addition, those persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to underwriters or dealers participating in any such offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above, if implemented, may have on the price of our securities.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states securities 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 complied with.

Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL; provided, however, that we may limit the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and executive officers; and provided, further, that we are not required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person or any proceeding by such person against us or our directors, officers, employees or other agents unless:

● such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

● the proceeding was authorized by the Board; or

● such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under the DGCL.

Our Bylaws provide that we shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses by any director or executive officer in connection with any such proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under Article XI of our Bylaws or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined, no advance shall be made by us if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

Our Bylaws also authorize us to purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to our Bylaws.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The DGCL also provides that indemnification under Section 145(d) can only be made upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer or employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b).

Section 145(g) of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide for eliminating or limiting the personal liability of one of its directors for any monetary damages related to a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, as long as the corporation does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions which (1) which breached the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) which were not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

We have obtained directors' and officers' insurance to cover our directors and officers for certain liabilities.

\* Filed herewith. <br> \*\* To be filed by amendment or as an exhibit to a report pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. <br> \*\*\* Previously filed.

**Item 17. Undertakings.**

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

**Signatures**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Arlington, Massachusetts, on June 12, 2026.

## Exhibit 4.1

**Exhibit 4.1**

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT**

The following description of registered securities of KALA BIO, Inc. ("us," "our," "we" or the "Company") is intended as a summary only and therefore is not a complete description of our capital stock. This description is based upon, and is qualified by reference to, our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the "DGCL"). You should read our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2026 for the provisions that are important to you.

**Authorized Capital Stock**

Our authorized capital stock consists of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 900,000 shares of preferred stock are designated the "Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock", or the Series AA Preferred Stock. Our common stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our Series AA Preferred Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

**Common Stock**

*Annual Meeting*. Annual meetings of our stockholders are held on the date designated in accordance with our by-laws. Written notice must be mailed to each stockholder entitled to vote not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of one third of the voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at meetings of the stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called for any purpose by the board of directors, the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer. Except as may be otherwise provided by applicable law, our certificate of incorporation or our by-laws, all elections of directors shall be decided by a plurality, and all other questions shall be decided by a majority, of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote thereon at a duly held meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present.

*Voting Rights*. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights.

*Dividends*. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock.

*Liquidation and Dissolution*. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive proportionately all assets available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock.

*Other Rights*. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock and shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

**Preferred Stock**

We are authorized to issue "blank check" preferred stock, which may be issued in one or more series upon authorization of our board of directors. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the designations, powers, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series of preferred stock. The authorized shares of our preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. If the approval of our stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock, our board may determine not to seek stockholder approval.

A series of our preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. Our board of directors will make any determination to issue preferred shares based upon its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders. Our directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our board of directors, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.

***Series AA Preferred Stock***

Certificate of Designations. Pursuant to our Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series AA Certificate of Designations, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, we designated 900,000 shares of our authorized and unissued preferred stock as Series AA Preferred Stock, and established the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series AA Preferred Stock, which are summarized below.

*Conversion*. Subject to our stockholders approving each of (A) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to enable us to issue all of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series AA Preferred Stock and (B) the conversion of the Series AA Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in accordance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (collectively, the "Stockholder Approvals"), and subject to the filing of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware evidencing such stockholder approval (the "Charter Amendment"), each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time after the Stockholder Approvals and the filing of the Charter Amendment, into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock equal to the Stated Value of $2.00 divided by the Conversion Price of $1.818 (each subject to adjustment as provided in the Series AA Certificate of Designations). The Conversion Price is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of subdivisions or combinations of our common stock and stock dividends payable in shares of our common stock. In addition, in the event of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger or consolidation in which our common stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, provision shall be made so that holders of Series AA Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion the kind and amount of shares, cash or other property they would have received had they converted immediately prior to such event. Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued upon conversion; instead, we will pay a cash adjustment for any fractional share.

*Voting Rights*. The shares of Series AA Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or other applicable law. However, so long as any shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are outstanding, we may not, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock (the "Requisite Holders"): (i) alter, repeal or change the powers, preferences or rights of the Series AA Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series AA Certificate of Designations so as to adversely affect the Series AA Preferred Stock; (ii) supplement, amend, restate, repeal or waive any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of amendment or certificate of designation, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series AA Preferred Stock, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the certificate of incorporation or by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion or otherwise; (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series AA Preferred Stock; or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. Any provision of the Series AA Certificate of Designations may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series AA Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders.

*Rank*. The Series AA Preferred Stock ranks senior to all of our common stock and on parity with any class or series of our capital stock created in the future specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series AA Preferred Stock (the "Parity Securities"), in each case, as to distributions of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (each, a "Dissolution").

*Dissolution*. In the event of a Dissolution, each holder of Series AA Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions to the holders of our common stock and *pari passu* with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount per share of Series AA Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value of $2.00 (subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar event with respect to the Series AA Preferred Stock), plus any dividends declared but unpaid on such share, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series AA Preferred Stock been converted into our common stock (without regard to any restrictions on conversion) immediately prior to such Dissolution. If, upon any such Dissolution, our assets shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the Series AA Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence, the holders of Series AA Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Parity Securities shall share in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise have been payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

For the avoidance of any doubt, neither a change in control of the Company, the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other entity, nor the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets shall, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Dissolution.

*Dividends*. Shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis, in the same form and manner as dividends actually paid on shares of our common stock.

**Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and Delaware Law That May Have Anti-Takeover Effects**

*Delaware Law*. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with any "interested stockholder" for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of our board of directors, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and stockholders in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder. A "business combination" includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the "interested stockholder" and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an "interested stockholder" is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

*Staggered Board; Removal of Directors.* Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws divide our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% of our shares of capital stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office. Furthermore, our certificate of incorporation provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by the resolution of our board of directors. The classification of our board of directors and the limitations on the ability of our stockholders to remove directors, change the authorized number of directors and fill vacancies could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of our company.

*Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders; Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.* Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders may only be taken if it is properly brought before such meeting and may not be taken by written action in lieu of a meeting. Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws also provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our board of directors. In addition, our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting

or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder's intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities. These provisions also could discourage a third party from making a tender offer for our common stock because even if the third party acquired a majority of our outstanding voting stock, it would be able to take action as a stockholder, such as electing new directors or approving a merger, only at a duly called stockholders meeting and not by written consent.

*Super-Majority Voting.* The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of our board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in any election of directors is required to amend or repeal or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with any of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described above.
