SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 14, 2024
Preliminary Prospectus

 

Agile Therapeutics, Inc.

 

 

 

Up to 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of 7,785,144 Warrants

 

This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 7,785,144 shares of our common stock par value $0.0001 per share by the selling stockholder, Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the “Holder”) of Agile Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). These 7,785,144 shares (the “Shares”) consist of: (a) 3,992,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a new common stock purchase warrant issued to the Holder on February 26, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and with a five-year exercise period (the “Five-Year Warrant”) and (b) 3,792,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant issued to Holder on February 26, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and with an eighteen-month exercise period (the “Eighteen-Month Warrant”, and together with the Five-Year Warrant, the “Warrants”).

 

The Warrants were issued pursuant to that certain warrant exercise agreement between the Holder and us, dated as of February 22, 2024 (the “Exercise Agreement”). The Holder is referred to herein as a “Selling Stockholder.” See “Prospectus Summary” for a description of the Exercise Agreement and “Selling Stockholder” for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholder. The prices at which the Selling Stockholder sells the Shares will be determined by the prevailing market price for the Shares or in negotiated transactions.

 

We are not offering any shares of our common stock for sale under this prospectus. We are registering the offer and resale of the Shares to satisfy contractual obligations owed by us to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Exercise Agreement and documents ancillary thereto. Our registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholder will offer or sell any of the Shares. Any of the Shares subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and acquired by the Selling Stockholder prior to any resale of such Shares pursuant to this prospectus. No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of the Shares in this offering. The Selling Stockholder will pay or assume discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar expenses, if any, incurred for the sale of the Shares.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Selling Stockholder exercises a Warrant for cash.

 

The Selling Stockholder, or its respective permitted transferees or other successors-in-interest, may offer the Shares from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. We provide additional information about how the Selling Stockholder may sell the Shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 12 in this prospectus.

 

While we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Warrant by the Selling Stockholder in the offering described in this prospectus, we may receive up to $1.00 per share upon the cash exercise of the Warrants. Upon the exercise of the Warrants for all 7,785,144 Shares by payment of cash, however, we will receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million. However, we cannot predict when and in what amounts or if any of the Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group (“OTC”) platform at the open of trading on March 26, 2024 under the symbol “AGRX.”  As of May 21, 2024, our common stock is trading on the OTC-QB market.

 

Investing in the offered securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are or will be incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of information that you should consider before investing in our securities.

 

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “designed,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “approximately” or, in each case, their negative or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus and include statements regarding our current intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or current expectations concerning, among other things, our ongoing and planned manufacturing and commercialization of Twirla®, the potential market acceptance and uptake of Twirla®, including the level of reimbursement from third-party payors, the development of our other potential product candidates, the attractiveness of our business to potential investors or business partners, the strength and breadth of our intellectual property, our planned clinical studies, the timing of and our ability to make regulatory filings and obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our potential product candidates, the legal and regulatory landscape impacting our business, the degree of clinical utility of our products, particularly in specific patient populations, expectations regarding clinical trial data, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies, including expense reduction strategies, the length of time that we will be able to continue to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures, our expected financing needs and sources of financing, the industry in which we operate and the trends that may affect the industry or us.

 

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, competitive dynamics, and healthcare, regulatory and scientific developments and depend on the economic circumstances that may or may not occur in the future or may occur on longer or shorter timelines than anticipated. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

 

In addition, with respect to all our forward looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

Some of the factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated or predicted include:

 

  · our available cash and our ability to obtain additional funding to fund our business plan without delay and to continue as a going concern;
     
  · our ability to pay our obligations as they come due;
     
  · we are now listed on the OTC-QB market, which could affect the liquidity in trading of our common stock and affect our ability to raise capital
     
  · the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;
     
  · our ability to successfully maintain and enhance the commercialization of and increase the uptake for Twirla, our only approved product;

 

  · the rate and degree of market acceptance of Twirla by physicians, patients, clinics, institutions, third-party payors and others in the healthcare community;

 

  · our ability to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement for Twirla in the United States from private and public third-party payors;

 

  · the size and growth of the markets for Twirla and our ability to serve those markets;

 

  · shortages of key materials in the supply chain implicating the manufacture and distribution of Twirla;

 

2

 

 

  · regulatory and legislative developments in the United States and foreign countries, which could include, among other things, a government shutdown or limiting access to prescription contraceptives;

 

  · the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

 

  · the growth in demand for Twirla and our ability to manage the levels of Twirla inventory, which could result in our having to write off inventory and our inability to meet the minimum requirements under our supply agreement with Corium Innovations, Inc. (“Corium”);

 

  · our ability to timely obtain from our third-party manufacturer, Corium, sufficient quantities or quality of Twirla or other materials required for a clinical trial or other tests and studies;

 

  · the ability of Corium to produce commercial supply in quantities and quality sufficient to satisfy market demand for Twirla;

 

  · the performance and financial condition of Corium or any of the suppliers;

 

  · our ability to design and successfully complete a post-marketing long-term, prospective observational safety study comparing risks for venous thromboembolism, or VTE, and arterial thromboembolism, or ATE, in new users of Twirla to new users of oral combined hormonal contraceptives, or CHCs, and new users of Xulane in U.S. women of reproductive age using CHCs and the outcomes of our discussions with the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regarding the results of our post-marketing commitment, or PMC, to assess the residual drug content of Twirla after use;

 

  · our ability to maintain regulatory approval of Twirla and the labeling under any approval we obtain;

 

  · our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for Twirla and our product candidates;

 

  · the success and timing of our clinical trials or other studies, including post-marketing studies for Twirla;

 

  · development of unexpected safety or efficacy concerns related to Twirla;

 

  · our ability to continue to develop and maintain successful sales and marketing capabilities, including our ability to maintain an effective sales force or failure to build-out and implement an effective health care compliance program;

 

  · our ability to retain key employees and recruit the additional personnel we will need to support our commercialization plan for Twirla; and

 

  · our ability to successfully implement our strategy.

 

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important cautionary statements in this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. For a summary of such factors, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, as updated and supplemented by the discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” contained in any further supplements to our prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this document is believed to be current as of the date of this document. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or in any document incorporated herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the document incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained in other parts of this prospectus. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in shares of our common stock and it is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, any applicable free writing prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. You should read all such documents carefully, especially the risk factors and our financial statements and the related notes included or incorporated by reference herein or therein, before deciding to buy shares of our common stock. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “Agile,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Agile Therapeutics, Inc.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a women’s healthcare company dedicated to fulfilling the unmet health needs of today’s women. We are committed to innovating in women’s healthcare where there continues to be unmet needs — not only in contraception — but also in other meaningful women’s health therapeutic areas. We are focused on our advancement as a commercial company and the growth of our first and only product, Twirla, a once-weekly prescription combination hormonal contraceptive patch.

 

Twirla exposes patients to an estrogen dose consistent with commonly prescribed combined hormonal contraceptives, or CHCs, and is lower than the estrogen dose found in other marketed contraceptive patches. We believe there is a market need for a contraceptive patch that is designed to deliver hormonal exposure equivalent to 30 mcg of estrogen and 120 mcg of progestin in a convenient once-weekly dosage form that may support compliance in a noninvasive fashion. Twirla leverages our proprietary transdermal patch technology called Skinfusion®. Skinfusion is designed to allow drug delivery through the skin while promoting patch adhesion and patient comfort and wearability, which may help support compliance.

 

We are focused on our advancement as a commercial company. Over the course of 2023, we continued to implement our commercialization plan for Twirla, with the goal of establishing a growing position in the hormonal contraceptive market. We believe we can achieve this goal by focusing our growth strategy in the states with the highest Twirla reimbursement potential, which we estimate will allow us to reach approximately 45% of U.S. women between the ages of 18-24. We also believe we can increase uptake of Twirla in the United States by growing our telemedicine presence through new partnerships as well as through our existing partnership with Nurx®,and driving growth in the non-retail channel through our collaboration with Afaxys, which provides us access to some of the largest Planned Parenthood organizations in the country. In addition to growing Twirla, we also plan to continue pursuing opportunities to broaden our portfolio to address areas of unmet medical need in women’s health.

 

About this Offering

 

As previously reported, we issued warrants on July 6, 2022 and May 25, 2023, each of which were amended on December 3, 2023 (collectively the “Amended Warrants”) to a certain investor, collectively representing the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,892,572 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $3.69 per share.

 

On February 22, 2024, we entered into a warrant exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with this certain holder of our Amended Warrants (the “Exercising Holder”) wherein the Exercising Holder agreed to exercise the Amended Warrants for cash, at an exercise price reduced to $1.25 per share (the “Warrant Exercise”). The gross proceeds from the Warrant Exercise were approximately $4.8 million and the transaction closed on February 26, 2024.

 

In consideration for the Warrant Exercise, we issued new unregistered warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and were immediately exercisable upon issuance. 3,992,572 of the Warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date and 3,792,572 of the Warrants have a term of eighteen months from the issuance date. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the Warrants.

The Warrants were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, we agreed not to issue any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents or to file any other registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (in each case, subject to certain exceptions) until fifteen (15) days after the closing date.

 

This prospectus includes the resale of the 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below and those discussed under the Section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as updated by our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports on Form 8-K, each as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus, the information and documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. 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 above entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

The Selling Stockholders may choose to sell the shares at prices below the current market price.

 

The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of the Shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering.

 

You should carefully evaluate all of the information in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein. We may receive media coverage regarding our Company, including coverage that is not directly attributable to statements made by our officers, that incorrectly reports on statements made by our officers or employees, or that is misleading as a result of omitting information provided by us, our officers or employees. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering, and recipients should not rely on this information.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Warrants Shares by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. We may receive up to approximate $7.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants whose underlying shares are covered by this prospectus, based on the per share exercise price of the Warrants, and to the extent that we receive such proceeds, we intend to use the net proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrant for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of such proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any cash exercise of the Warrants. The results and effectiveness of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our product candidates and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

6

 

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of issuance of the Shares, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our common stock or other securities. In addition, the issuance of the Shares and future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities may adversely affect our common stock price.

 

The Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of our common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered common stock and sellers remain willing to sell our common stock. The issuance of the Shares or any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could also adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

 

In addition, to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as prior issuances of common stock. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by investors, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per share. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrant for the Shares may be lessor or greater than the price per share previously paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our stock incentive programs. In addition, the issuance of the Shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be paid directly to the Selling Stockholder. We may receive proceeds upon the cash exercise of the Warrants, however. Assuming full cash exercise of the Warrants, we would receive gross proceeds of approximately $7.8 million. We currently intend to use any net proceeds from Warrant exercises for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

To the extent the resale of the shares of common stock underlying Warrants is registered under the Securities Act and there is a prospectus available for such registered resale, holders of Warrants are required to pay the exercise price for the Warrants in cash. If no such registration statement and prospectus are available, the Warrants may be exercised through cashless exercise, where the holder of the Warrants receives fewer shares upon exercise of its Warrants but does not pay the Company any cash to exercise the Warrants.

Preferred Stock

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. We may issue, from time to time in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by our Board, without further action by our stockholders, shares of preferred stock and such shares may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The shares of each series of preferred stock shall have preferences, limitations and relative rights, including voting rights, identical with those of other shares of the same series and, except to the extent provided in the description of such series, of those of other series of preferred stock.

 

Delaware Law and Certain Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws Provisions

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, to be in effect upon completion of this offering contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our Board that our stockholders might consider favorable. Some of these provisions:

 

  · Authorize the issuance of preferred stock which can be created and issued by the Board without prior stockholder approval, with rights senior to those of our common stock;

 

  · Provide for a classified board of directors, with each director serving a staggered three-year term;

 

  · Prohibit our stockholders from filling board vacancies, calling special stockholder meetings or taking action by written consent;

 

  · Provide for the removal of a director only with cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% or more of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of our directors;

 

  · Require advance written notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations; and

 

  · Require any action instituted against our officers or directors in connection with their service to the Company to be brought in the state of Delaware.

 

In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may prohibit certain business combinations with stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. These and other provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirors to obtain control of our Board or initiate actions that are opposed by our then-current board of directors, including a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our Board could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

Indemnification

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains provisions permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware relating to the liability of directors. The provisions eliminate, to the extent legally permissible, a director’s liability for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a director’s duty of loyalty or acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. The limitation of liability described above does not alter the liability of our directors and officers under federal securities laws. Furthermore, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains provisions to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. These provisions do not limit or eliminate our right or the right of any stockholder of ours to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach by a director or an officer of his or her duty of care to us. We believe that these provisions assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “Selling Stockholder” refers to the Selling Stockholder named in this prospectus, or certain transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest that may receive our securities from the Selling Stockholder.

 

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Stockholder to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock. These 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock consist of: (a) 3,992,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Five-Year Warrant and (b) 3,792,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Eighteen-Month Warrant. Except for the beneficial ownership of our securities, none of the Selling Stockholder nor any persons who have control over the Selling Stockholder have had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the Selling Stockholder and other information regarding the ownership of our shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholder.

 

The second column lists the number of shares of common stock owned by the Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock, as of June 7, 2024, assuming exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholder on that date, if applicable.

 

The following table provides, as of June 7, 2024, information regarding the Selling Stockholder and the shares of common stock that they may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The percentage of ownership in the table below is based on 6,856,229 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 7, 2024. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects their holdings as of June 7, 2024. Neither the Selling Stockholder nor any of its affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.

(1)Under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option or warrant or through the conversion of a convertible security. Also under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security with regard to which the person directly or indirectly, has or shares (a) voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or (b) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition, of the security, in each case, irrespective of the person’s economic interest in the security. To our knowledge, subject to community property laws where applicable, the Selling Stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the common stock shown as beneficially owned by such Selling Stockholder, except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table.

 

(2)Assumes the Selling Stockholder sells all of its respective Shares, although the Selling Stockholder is under no obligation to sell any Shares at this time.

 

(3)The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice Capital”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital.  The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Selling Stockholder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

 

(4)Consists of 0 shares of common stock and 8,920,373 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants held by the Master Fund. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Master Fund from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Master Fund and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering up to 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock for possible resale by the Selling Stockholder from time to time. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of the securities by the Selling Stockholder. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

 

The Selling Stockholder and any of its respective assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;

 

·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;

 

·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;

 

·broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

·through the writing of options on the shares;

 

·a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The Selling Stockholder or its respective assignees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a Selling Stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then existing market price. We cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

12

 

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.

 

The Selling Stockholder may pledge their shares to their respective brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The Selling Stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the Selling Stockholder or any other such person. In the event that a Selling Stockholder is deemed an affiliated purchaser or distribution participant within the meaning of Regulation M, then such Selling Stockholder will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the Selling Stockholder will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 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 Stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the purchasers, for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, of the shares sold by the Selling Stockholders through this prospectus. The compensation paid to any such particular broker-dealer by any such purchasers of shares of our Common Stock sold by the Selling Stockholder may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive from any purchasers of shares of our Common Stock sold by the Selling Stockholder.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors, and other corporate agents.

 

As permitted by Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Pursuant to Delaware law such protection would be not available for liability:

 

  · for any breach of a duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

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

 

  · for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit; or

 

  · for an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute, including unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also provides that if Delaware law is amended after the approval by our stockholders of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws, as amended, further provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The amended and restated bylaws also authorize us to indemnify any of our employees or agents and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her action in that capacity, whether or not Delaware law would otherwise permit indemnification.

 

II-1

 

 

In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that we are required to advance expenses to our directors and officers as incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified and that the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, for expenses such as, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, arising out of the person’s services as our director or executive officer or as the director or executive officer of any subsidiary of ours or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

The SEC has taken the position that personal liability of directors for violation of the federal securities laws cannot be limited and that indemnification by us for any such violation is unenforceable. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Set forth below is information regarding securities we have issued within the past three years that were not registered under the Securities Act:

 

On December 3, 2023, we entered into a Warrant Amendment and Additional Issuance Agreement (“Warrant Amendment and Additional Issuance Agreement”) relating to the amendment of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that were issued in transactions on March 14, 2022, April 25, 2022, and May 25, 2023 (collectively, the “Warrants”). Collectively, the Warrants represent the right to purchase approximately 3.8 million shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the Warrant Amendment and Additional Issuance Agreement, the holder agreed to revise provisions related to the use of a Black-Scholes model to value the Warrants in the event of a change of control transaction. The holder also agreed to revise provisions related to the cashless exercise of the Warrants. In exchange for the holder’s agreement to amend the Warrants, we agreed to issue an additional new warrant (the “New 2023 Warrant”) to purchase 1,005,560 shares of our common stock. The New 2023 Warrant has an exercise price of $2.09 per share. The New 2023 Warrant is exercisable six months after issuance and will expire five years from the date that the New 2023 Warrant is initially exercisable. The exercise price of the New Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the New 2023 Warrant.

 

On February 22, 2024, we entered into a warrant exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with this certain holder of its warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Exercising Holder”) wherein the Exercising Holder agreed to exercise such warrants for cash, at an exercise price reduced to $1.25 per share (the “Warrant Exercise”). The gross proceeds from the Warrant Exercise were approximately $4.8 million. In consideration for the Warrant Exercise, we issued new unregistered warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “New 2024 Warrants”). The New 2024 Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 7,785,144 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and were immediately exercisable upon issuance. 3,992,572 of the New 2024 Warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date and 3,792,572 of the New 2024 Warrants have a term of eighteen months from the issuance date. The exercise price of the New Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the New 2024 Warrants.

 

II-2

 

 

Our issuances of the warrants were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in that such issuances did not involve a public offering.  The recipient of securities in each of these transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. The recipient of securities in these transactions was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us. No underwriters were involved in these transactions.

 Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a) (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, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

(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 the 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

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

 

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

 

  (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 the 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 of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

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

 

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act 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 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 the 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.

 

II-9

 

 

  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed by Agile Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about June 14, 2024 (such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”) relating to the offering and resale by the selling stockholder, Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the “Holder”), of up to 7,785,144 shares of our common stock par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) consisting of: (a) 3,992,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a new common stock purchase warrant issued to the Holder on February 26, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and with a five-year exercise period (the “Five-Year Warrant”) and (b) 3,792,572 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant issued to Holder on February 26, 2024, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and with an eighteen-month exercise period (the “Eighteen-Month Warrant”, and together with the Five-Year Warrant, the “Warrants”).

 

This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

 

As counsel to the Company, in rendering the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies of such corporate records, agreements, documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion, including (i) the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), and amended and restated bylaws of the Company, (ii) the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto filed with the Commission, (iii) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement, (iv) the Warrant Exercise Agreement, dated as of February 22, 2024, by and between the Holder and the Company, (v) the Warrants, (vi) copies of resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company at any meeting duly called and held or by written consent without a meeting, and (vii) copies of resolutions adopted by the stockholders of the Company at any meeting duly called and held.

 

In rendering the opinions contained herein, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the legal capacity of all natural persons signing such documents, the due authority of all parties, other than the Company, signing such documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photostatic or certified copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

 

In addition, we have assumed that: (a) the Registration Statement becomes and remains effective, and the prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement, and the prospectus delivery requirements with respect thereto, fulfill all of the requirements of the Securities Act, throughout all periods relevant to the opinion, (b) the Shares will be offered in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement, including all amendments thereto, and (c) all offers and sales of the Shares will be made in compliance with the securities laws of the states having jurisdiction thereof.

 

The enforcement of any obligations of the Company may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance and fraudulent transfer laws.

 

 

 

 

Our opinions are subject to the effects of general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), including but not limited to principles limiting the availability of specific performance or injunctive relief, and concepts of materiality and reasonableness, and the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.

 

This opinion is limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law without regard to choice of law, to the extent that the same may apply to or govern the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement. We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising, or changes of law becoming effective or occurring, after the date hereof on the matters addressed in this opinion.

 

Based on such examination and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

(a) the Shares which may be issued from time to time upon the exercise of the Warrants have been duly and validly authorized and, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the exercise price in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and assuming no change in the applicable law or facts, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

 

(b) the Warrants are valid and binding obligations of the Company.

 

We hereby consent to the reference to this firm therein and under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. In rendering this opinion, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth herein, and no opinion shall be inferred as to any other matter or matters. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

 

Very truly yours,

Exhibit A 

Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue

 

In the event the billed revenue (as defined below) during any calendar year starting in calendar year 2024 is less than the applicable Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue (as defined below), Agile agrees to make an additional true-up payment to Corium to ensure that Corium receives total revenue for such calendar year equal to the Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue. The Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue for calendar year 2024 is $10,000,000 and the Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue for each calendar year 2025 and beyond is $22,500,000 (as applicable to each calendar year, the “Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue”).

 

In the event that Corium does not receive at least the applicable Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue in any calendar year, Agile agrees to make an additional true-up payment (each such payment, a “True-Up Payment”) to Corium to ensure that Corium receives at least the applicable Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue. Any True-Up Payments will be calculated and paid in [***]: Within [***] the preceding [***] of billed revenue will be compared to the corresponding [***] portion of the applicable Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue. In the event the billed revenue in this [***] is less than the applicable [***] portion of the Guaranteed Minimum Billed Revenue, Corium will invoice Agile in the amount of the difference and payment shall be due within [***] of the date of such invoice.

 

As used herein, “billed revenue” includes [***]. For clarity, research and development activities will not count toward billed revenue minimums.

When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, the Lien automatically shall terminate, and Corium shall, upon request of Agile, promptly cause to be released and canceled all rights in the Collateral. Corium shall also, at the expense of Agile, promptly execute and deliver to Agile upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Agile to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral. [***] Agile represents and warrants to Corium that the provisions of this Amendment and Attachments 1 and 2, have been authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of Agile.
