As of the date hereof, during the prior 12 calendar month period, we have sold shares of our common stock in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 million pursuant to a previously filed Form S-3.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents we have filed or will file with the SEC that are or will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. When we use the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will” and other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, we are identifying forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.

 

Our forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities, and are based upon information currently available to us, our interpretation of what we believe to be significant factors affecting our business and many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements. This could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including the following:

 

●

forecasts of future business performance, consumer trends and macro-economic conditions;

 

●

descriptions of market, competitive conditions, and competitive product introductions;

 

●

descriptions of plans or objectives of management for future operations, products or services;

 

●

actions by the FDA or other regulatory agencies with respect to our products or product candidates;

 

●

changes to third-party reimbursement of laser treatments using our devices;

 

●

our estimates regarding the sufficiency of our cash resources, expenses, capital requirements and needs for additional financing and our ability to obtain additional financing;

 

●

our ability to protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others;

 

●

anticipated results of existing or future litigation;

 

●

health emergencies, the spread of infectious disease or pandemics;

 

●

descriptions or assumptions underlying or related to any of the above items; and

 

●

other factors.

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and others discussed in this prospectus there can be no assurance that any matters covered by our forward-looking statements will develop as predicted, expected or implied. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

 

TRADEMARKS

 

XTRAC®, XTRAC Momentum®, VTRAC®, Theraclear®, and PHAROS® are our registered trademarks. These trademarks are important to our business. Although we may have omitted the “®” or “TM” trademark designation for such trademarks in this prospectus, all rights to such trademarks are nevertheless reserved. Unless otherwise noted, other trademarks used in this prospectus are the property of their respective holders.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and any risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.” Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading prices of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties are not limited to those set forth in the risk factors described in these documents. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be less significant than the risk factors incorporated by reference herein may also adversely affect our business. When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, 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.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as otherwise disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sales of securities hereunder for the clinical and regulatory advancement of our product candidates; for commercialization of our products, including potential sales and marketing of products on our own behalf; for potential acquisitions of new technologies and products; and to meet working capital needs. The amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds from this offering will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and commercialization efforts, technological advances and the competitive environment for our products. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities offered by us hereunder and the applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the timing and application of these proceeds. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to temporarily invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

 

General

 

The following description of the material provisions of our capital stock (which includes a description of securities we may offer pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus, as the same may be supplemented, forms a part) does not purport to be complete and is based on and qualified by our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the “Charter”), our Bylaws, and the Warrant Agreement to Purchase Shares of the Common Stock of STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., dated as of August 9, 2023, between us and MidCap Funding XXVII Trust (“Warrant Agreement”), each of which is incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The summary below is also qualified by reference to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). 

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 160,000,000 shares, consisting of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of November 21, 2024, our outstanding capital stock consists of 4,171,161 shares of common stock, and no shares of preferred stock. These figures do not include securities that may be issued upon exercise or vesting of our outstanding derivative securities including our options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock units under our equity incentive plans and a stock purchase warrant.

 

We, directly or through agents, dealers or underwriters designated from time to time, may offer, issue and sell, together or separately, up to $25,000,000 in the aggregate of:

 

	●	common stock;
	●	preferred stock;
	●	secured or unsecured debt securities consisting of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness which may be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, each of which may be convertible into equity securities;
	●	warrants to purchase our securities;
	●	rights to purchase our securities; or
	●	units comprised of, or other combinations of, the foregoing securities.

 

We may issue the debt securities as exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities. The preferred stock may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into shares of common stock, another series of preferred stock or other securities. The debt securities, the preferred stock, the common stock and the warrants are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “securities.” When a particular series of securities is offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be delivered with this prospectus, which will set forth the terms of the offering and sale of the offered securities.

 

 

Common Stock

 

As of November 21, 2024, there were 4,171,161 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Voting Power

 

Except as otherwise required by law or as provided in any certificate of designation for any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock possess all the voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions, provided that such holder is not an Unsuitable Person (as defined below).

 

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding-Up

 

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of our creditors and the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, if any, have been satisfied.

 

Preemptive or Other Rights

 

There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights.

  

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Charter and Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

 

Our Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:

 

●

no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

 

●

the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director with or without cause by stockholders, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

 

 

●

the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our Preferred Stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

 

●

limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

 

●

specifying the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for adjudication of disputes;

 

●

controls over the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings; and

 

●

advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

 

These provisions, singly or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of us or changes in our board of directors and management.

 

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding Common Stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding Common Stock. Any provision of our Charter or Bylaws, or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Common Stock.

 

MidCap Warrant

 

As of the date of this prospectus, there is a warrant outstanding exercisable for 80,000 shares of Common Stock (“MidCap Warrant”). The MidCap Warrant, which was amended and restated on June 30, 2023, allows MidCap Funding XXVII Trust (together with any registered holder from time to time or any holder of the shares issuable or issued upon the exercise or conversion of the warrant, the “Warrantholder”) to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock for a 10-year period ending June 30, 2033 at an exercise price equal to $8.80 per share, after taking into account our 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected in June 2024, and subject to the adjustments discussed below.

 

The MidCap Warrant provides that the Warrantholder may elect to exercise the warrant on a net “cashless” basis at any time prior to the expiration thereof.  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we agreed to and have filed a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the MidCap Warrant.

 

 

In connection with a Merger Event (defined below) that is a Liquid Sale (defined below) where the value per share of our Common Stock is greater than the exercise price then in effect, the MidCap Warrant shall, on and after the closing of the Merger Event, automatically and without further action on the part of any party or other person, represent the right to receive, in lieu of the shares of our Common Stock that are issuable under the Warrant Agreement as of immediately prior to the closing of such Merger Event, the consideration payable on or in respect of such shares of our Common Stock less the amount equal to then-effective exercise price multiplied by the number of shares of our Common Stock as to which the MidCap Warrant is then exercised (such amount being the “purchase price”) for all such shares of our Common Stock (such consideration to include both the consideration payable at the closing of such Merger Event and all deferred consideration payable thereafter, if any, including, but not limited to, payments of amounts deposited at such closing into escrow and payments in the nature of earn-outs, milestone payments or other performance-based payments), and such Merger Event consideration shall be paid to the holder of the MidCap Warrant as and when it is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock; provided, however, in the event of a Merger Event that is an arms length sale of all or substantially all of our assets (and only its assets) to a third party that is not an affiliate of us (a “True Asset Sale”), the holder of the MidCap Warrant may either (a) exercise its conversion or purchase right under the MidCap Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Merger Event, or (b) permit the MidCap Warrant to continue for the term of the Warrant Agreement if we continue as a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale.  In connection with a Merger Event that is not a Liquid Sale, we shall cause the successor or surviving entity to assume the Warrant Agreement and our obligations thereunder on the closing thereof, and thereafter the MidCap Warrant shall be exercisable for the same number, class, and type of securities or other property as the holder of the MidCap Warrant would have received in consideration for the shares of our Common Stock issuable under the Warrant Agreement had it exercised the MidCap Warrant in full as of immediately prior to such closing, at an aggregate exercise price no greater than the aggregate exercise price in effect as of immediately prior to such closing, and subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. This provision shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events. For purposes of this section of the Prospectus:

 

●

A “Merger Event” means any of the following: (i) a sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) any merger or consolidation involving us in which we are not the surviving entity or in which our outstanding shares of capital stock are otherwise converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock or other securities or property of another entity or converted into the right to receive cash, or (iii) any sale by holders of our outstanding voting equity securities in a single transaction or series of related transactions of shares constituting a majority of the outstanding combined voting power of us; and

 

●

A “Liquid Sale” means the closing of a Merger Event in which the consideration received by us and/or our stockholders, as applicable, consists solely of cash and/or securities meeting all of the following requirements:

 

o

the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act;

 

 

o

the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the holder of the MidCap Warrant in connection with the Merger Event were the holder to exercise the MidCap Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market, and

 

o

following the closing of such Merger Event, the holder of the MidCap Warrant would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by the holder in such Merger Event were the holder to exercise the MidCap Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Merger Event, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Merger Event.

 

Except for Merger Events discussed above, if we at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under the Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes of securities, the Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under the Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. This provision shall similarly apply to successive combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

 

If we at any time shall combine or subdivide our Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the exercise price of the MidCap Warrant shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares for which the MidCap Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the exercise price of the MidCap Warrant shall be proportionately increased and the number of shares for which the MidCap Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately decreased.

 

If we at any time while the Warrant Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall pay a dividend with respect to the outstanding shares of our Common Stock payable in additional shares of our Common Stock, then the exercise price of the MidCap Warrant shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, and the number of shares of our Common Stock for which the MidCap Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionately increased.

 

If we at any time while the Warrant Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall make any other dividend or distribution on or with respect to our Common Stock, except any dividend or distribution (i) in cash, or (ii) specifically provided for in any other clause of the Warrant Agreement, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by us such that the holder of the MidCap Warrant shall receive upon exercise or conversion of the MidCap Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of our Common Stock (or other stock for which our Common Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the determination of our stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof or thereon, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. No shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding as of the date hereof.

 

You should refer to the prospectus supplement relating to the series of preferred stock being offered for the specific terms of that series, including:

 

●

the title of the series and the number of shares in the series;

 

●

the price at which the preferred stock will be offered;

 

●

the dividend rate or rates or method of calculating the rates, the dates on which the dividends will be payable, whether or not dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends on the preferred stock being offered will cumulate;

 

●

the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the preferred stock being offered;

 

●

the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, and the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock being offered, including any restrictions on the foregoing as a result of arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments;

 

●

the liquidation preference per share;

 

●

the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock being offered will be convertible into our common stock, including the conversion price, or the manner of calculating the conversion price, and the conversion period;

 

●

the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock being offered will be exchangeable for debt securities, including the exchange price, or the manner of calculating the exchange price, and the exchange period;

 

●

any listing of the preferred stock being offered on any securities exchange;

 

●

a discussion of any material federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock being offered;

 

●

any preemptive rights;

 

●

the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs;

 

●

any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior or equal to the series of preferred stock being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; and

 

●

any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the series.

 

Upon issuance, the shares of preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means that its holders will have paid their purchase price in full and we may not require them to pay additional funds.

 

 

Any preferred stock terms selected by our board of directors could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock or adversely affect the rights and power, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued by us in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult.

 

Rule 144

 

Under Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months may be entitled to sell such shares, provided that such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale; and we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

●

1% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding, or

 

●

the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and requirements as to the availability of current public information about us.

 

Debt Securities

 

As used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture) will be entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.

 

The Indenture or forms of Indentures, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indentures (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under each Indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.

 

General

 

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct secured or unsecured obligations of our company. The senior debt securities will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness.

 

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.

 

Should an indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Holders of the debt securities may present registered debt securities for exchange or transfer in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as limited by the applicable Indenture, we will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the exchange or transfer.

 

Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate as specified in the prospectus supplement. In addition, if specified in the prospectus supplement, we may sell debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate, or at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any special federal income tax considerations applicable to these discounted debt securities.  

 

 

We may issue debt securities with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be determined by referring to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or interest payments on any interest payment date, that are greater or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of applicable currency, commodity, equity index or other factors. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.

 

Warrants

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities or any combination thereof. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with such warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, forms of the warrant and warrant agreement, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, if any. These terms may include the following:

 

	●	the title of the warrants;
	●	the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
	●	the designation, amount and terms of the securities or other rights for which the warrants are exercisable;
	●	the designation and terms of the other securities, if any, with which the warrants are to be issued and the number of warrants issued with each other security;
	●	the aggregate number of warrants;
	●	any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;
	●	the price or prices at which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
	●	if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants will be separately transferable;
	●	a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the exercise of the warrants;
	●	the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence, and the date on which the right will expire;
	●	the maximum or minimum number of warrants that may be exercised at any time;
	●	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and
	●	any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

 

 

Exercise of Warrants. Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the amount of securities or other rights, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants. 

 

Rights

 

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, which we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

 

	●	the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution;
	●	the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
	●	the exercise price;
	●	the conditions to completion of the rights offering;
	●	the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and
	●	any applicable federal income tax considerations.

 

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

 

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, 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.

 

 

Units 

 

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent, if any, may be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent, if any, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. Specific unit agreements, if any, will contain additional important terms and provisions. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report that we file with the SEC, the form of unit and the form of each unit agreement, if any, relating to units offered under this prospectus.

 

If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable

 

	●	the title of the series of units;
	●	identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;
	●	the price or prices at which the units will be issued;
	●	the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;
	●	a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and
	●	any other material terms of the units and their constituent securities.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

 

Listing

 

Our common stock is quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “SSKN.”

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices. We may change these prices from time to time. The securities may also be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including, in the case of our equity securities, sales deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or directly into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise, for shares.

 

We may sell the securities in any of the following ways:

 

	●	through underwriters or dealers;
	●	through agents who may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act;
	●	directly to one or more purchasers
	●	directly to holders of warrants exercisable for our securities upon the exercise of their warrants
	●	block trades;
	●	through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
	●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

A prospectus supplement or supplements will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

	●	the terms of the offering, including the specific securities to be offered and sold;
	●	the name or names of participating agents, broker-dealers or underwriters, if any;
	●	the purchase price of the securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds, if any, we will receive from the sale;
	●	any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

	●	any applicable commissions, discounts, concessions and other items constituting compensation from us; and
	●	any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

 

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

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any over-allotment option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

 

We may sell 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, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of 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.

 

We may also make sales through the Internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the Internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you will want to pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.

 

Such electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called “real-time” basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder’s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of debt security, the clearing spread could be indicated as a number of “basis points” above an index treasury note. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used.

 

Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.

 

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

 

All securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

Any underwriters or agents that are qualified market makers may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, 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 him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to 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 such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification may be made with respect to 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 of 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.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that indemnification or advancement of expenses provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.

 

 

Reference is also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for violations of a director’s fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Company may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company. Article V of our amended and restated by-laws provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers, or former directors and officers, against any and all expenses and liabilities, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, will indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for all expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, witness fees, damages, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by us arising out of such person’s services as our director or officer, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

  

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

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and 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 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statements or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i) 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

 

(ii) 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.

 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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: 

 

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

 

(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;

 

(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

 

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

 

(c) 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.

 

(d) If and when applicable, 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 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
