ABOUT THE COMPANY

Company Overview

We are a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products in various therapeutic areas, including allergy, opioid overdose, respiratory and inflammatory disease. Our products and product candidates in the allergy, respiratory, and opioid overdose markets include: SYMJEPI™ (epinephrine) Injection 0.3mg, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in 2017 for use in the emergency treatment of acute allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, for patients weighing 66 pounds or more; SYMJEPI (epinephrine) Injection 0.15mg which was approved by the FDA in September 2018, for use in the treatment of anaphylaxis for patients weighing 33-65 pounds; a naloxone injection product candidate, ZIMHI™, based on the approved Symject™ injection device and intended for the treatment of opioid overdose for which the company submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, in December 2018 and with respect to which we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA in November 2019 and responded to the CRL and resubmitted its NDA to the FDA in May 2020; a Beclomethasone metered dose inhaler product candidate (APC-1000) intended for the treatment of asthma for which the company submitted an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, in January 2018 and initiated the start-up phase of Phase 3 studies which have been suspended; and a fluticasone (APC-4000) dry powder inhaler, or DPI, product candidate for the treatment of asthma. In June 2020, we entered into a license agreement with a third party to license rights under patents, patent applications and related know-how relating to Tempol, an investigational drug. The exclusive license includes the worldwide use under the licensed patent rights and related rights for the fields of COVID-19 infection, asthma, respiratory syncytial virus infection, and influenza infection, as well as the use of Tempol as a therapeutic for reducing radiation-induced dermatitis in patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Our goal is to create low cost therapeutic alternatives to existing treatments. Consistent across all specialty pharmaceuticals product lines, we intend to submit NDAs under Section 505(b)(2), of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, as amended, or FDCA, or Section 505(j) Abbreviated New Drug Applications, or ANDAs, to the FDA, whenever possible, in order to potentially reduce the time to market and to save on costs, compared to those associated with Section 505(b)(1) NDAs for new drug products.

Our U.S. Compounding, Inc., subsidiary, or USC, which we acquired in April 2016 and which is registered as a drug compounding outsourcing facility under Section 503B of the FDCA and the U.S. Drug Quality and Security Act, or DQSA, provides prescription compounded medications, including compounded sterile preparations and nonsterile compounds, to patients, physician clinics, hospitals, surgery centers and other clients throughout most of the United States. USC’s product offerings broadly include, among others, corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapies, hospital outsourcing products, and injectables. USC’s compounded formulations in many circumstances are offered as alternatives to drugs approved by the FDA. USC also provides certain veterinary pharmaceutical products for animals.

To achieve our goals and support our overall strategy, we may need to raise a substantial amount of funding and make significant investments in, among other things, new product development and working capital.

Company Information

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at 11682 El Camino Real, Suite 300, San Diego, CA 92130, and our telephone number is (858) 997-2400. Our website address is: www.adamispharmaceuticals.com.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. 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, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow 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 below entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, and any prospectus supplement that we may file, contains forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should”, “could” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to: our expectations concerning regulatory approvals for our products; our expectations for growth; estimates of future revenue; our strategies and objectives; our sources and uses of cash; our liquidity needs; our ability to obtain sufficient funding to support our planned activities; our current or planned clinical trials or research and development activities; product development timelines; our future products; regulatory matters; anticipated dates for commencement of clinical trials; anticipated completion dates of clinical trials; anticipated dates for meetings with regulatory authorities and submissions to obtain required regulatory marketing approvals; anticipated dates for commercial introduction of products; potential receipt of milestone payments and other payments under our collaboration agreements; the potential outcome of any litigation or other proceedings; anticipated expenses and expense levels; guidance regarding revenues, expenses, profits, cash flow, balance sheet items, or other financial items for future periods; and statements concerning our future financial condition, business strategy, operations, activities, and objectives of management for future operations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingencies, goals, targets or expectations for the future.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events, and they are subject to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Whether these future events will occur, and whether we will achieve our business objectives, are subject to numerous risks. Discussions containing these forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, filed with SEC, as well as in our other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to such factors and cautionary statements discussed throughout this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 3 
 


You should read this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement is accurate as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus or such prospectus supplement only. Because the risk factors referred to elsewhere in the prospectus could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. In addition, many forward-looking statements concerning our anticipated future business activities assume that we are able to obtain sufficient funding in the near term and thereafter to support such activities and continue our operations and planned activities, which may not be the case. The information contained in this prospectus, as well as the information filed previously with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, is accurate only as of the date of the document containing the information, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement or any sale of our common stock. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from sales of the common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus. However, upon any exercise of the Warrants for cash, the selling stockholders would pay us the per share exercise price provided for in the Warrants, subject to any adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Warrants. We currently intend to use the cash proceeds from any Warrant exercise for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, expenditures relating to research, development and clinical trials relating to our products and product candidates, manufacturing, capital expenditures, hiring additional personnel, acquisitions of new technologies or products, the payment, repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing or future indebtedness, obligations or capital stock, and working capital. We may also use the proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary products, services, technologies or other assets, although we have no present agreements or understandings with respect to any acquisitions or investments at this time. The amount and timing of our actual use of proceeds may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including the actual amount of proceeds we receive and the timing of when we receive such proceeds. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate any net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants. In addition, under certain circumstances the Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis by net exercise. If any of the Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from the applicable selling stockholder upon any such cashless exercise of a Warrant. We cannot assure you that any Warrant will be exercised or that such exercises will be cash exercises rather than net cashless exercises.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Private Placement

On February 21, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the selling stockholders named in the prospectus (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we issued to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering, 11,600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, and in a concurrent private placement also issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 8,700,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) with an exercise price of $0.70 per share. The negotiated combined purchase price for one Share and 0.75 Warrant was $0.58. We received aggregate gross proceeds in the offering of approximately $6,700,000, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 previously filed with and declared effective by the SEC, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement. The Warrants are exercisable commencing September 3, 2020, and will expire September 3, 2025. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us.

 4 
 


Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably possible after filing and to keep the registration statement effective until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares. Under the transaction documents, we agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and certain related persons and entities against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, that any such indemnified party may incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by us in any of the transaction documents, or (ii) with certain exceptions, any action instituted against such indemnified party arising out of or resulting from any of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents, or (c) in connection with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by Purchasers of the Warrant Shares.

Under the terms of the Warrants, a holder does not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant held by the holder, to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise of the Warrant, such holder and any affiliate of the holder would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock after giving effect to the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Each selling stockholder also holds other warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company that also include the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. A holder may, with 61 days prior notice to the Company, elect to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that in no event may the Beneficial Ownership Limitation be greater than 9.99%.

The Warrants are exercisable by means of cash. If at any time after the date that the Warrants first became exercisable there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of, all of the Warrant Shares held by the holder, then a holder may also exercise a Warrant at the holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a net exercise of the Warrant on a cashless basis. The Warrants provide for proportional adjustment of the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and the per share exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits, combinations, reverse stock splits and similar events.

The foregoing summaries of the offering, the securities to be issued in connection therewith, the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive transaction documents, copies of which have been filed as Exhibits to our filings with the SEC incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Selling Stockholder Table

We are registering the resale of 8,700,000 shares of common stock which are issuable upon the exercise of Warrants held by the selling stockholders identified below to permit each of them, or their permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest that may be identified in a supplement to this prospectus if required or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, to resell or otherwise dispose of these shares in the manner contemplated under the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus (as may be supplemented and amended).

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock by each of the selling stockholders, based on 93,657,628 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2020. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, including based on its beneficial ownership of the Warrant Shares, other shares of our common stock, and other shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of other warrants, beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as of the date of this prospectus, assuming exercise of Warrants on that date held by the selling stockholder and other warrants held by the selling stockholder, but in each case subject to and giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation with respect to the Warrants and other warrants held by the selling stockholder. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any maximum percentage ownership limitations or other limitations on exercises of the Warrants. The fourth column lists the number of shares of common stock anticipated to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders following the offering, assuming the sale of all of the securities offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, and giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation with respect to the Warrants and other warrants held by the selling stockholder.

 5 
 

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Beneficial ownership includes any common stock as to which a stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power, and also any common stock which the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days, including upon exercise of the Warrants or other warrants held by the stockholder, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

When we refer to “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean those persons listed in the table below, as well as their transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares. We do not know if the selling stockholders will exercise the Warrants to acquire Warrant Shares or how long the selling stockholders will hold such shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale or other disposition of any of the shares. As a result, we cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock each of the selling stockholders will beneficially own after termination of sales under this prospectus. In addition, each of the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of its shares of common stock since the date on which it provided information for this table.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK

A description of the material terms and provisions of our common stock is included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2020, and is incorporated into this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consisted of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Our board of directors may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable to the selling stockholders upon the exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of such shares of common stock by such holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register such shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders which, as used herein, includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities on any stock exchange on which the securities may be listed, market or trading facility on which the securities may be traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
to the extent permitted by law, short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
through agreements between broker-dealers and the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell common stock under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the securities, from time to time, under this prospectus or a prospectus supplement, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 7 
 

 

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

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the securities offered by them will be the purchase price of the securities less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of securities to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions, rather than under this prospectus, in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the securities or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not, as of the date of this prospectus, have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.

To the extent required, the securities to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares of common stock of the selling stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the securities offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until no selling stockholder owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares.

INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. This prospectus is part of the registration statement but the registration statement includes and incorporates by reference additional information and exhibits. The SEC permits us to “incorporate by reference” the information contained in documents we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents rather than by including them in this prospectus. Information that is incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and you should read it with the same care that you read this prospectus. Information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information that is either contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus, and will be considered to be a part of this prospectus from the date those documents are filed. We have filed with the SEC, and incorporate by reference in this prospectus:

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), filed on March 30, 2020;

We also incorporate by reference all additional documents that we file with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are made after the initial filing date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (and including, without limitation, prior to effectiveness) until the offering of the particular securities covered by a prospectus supplement or term sheet has been completed. We are not, however, incorporating, in each case, any documents or information that we are deemed to furnish and not file in accordance with SEC rules.
