Company Overview

 

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) operates operate in two primary business areas: first, application of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in our precision medicine business, to provide AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response to improve clinical outcomes for patients and to assist pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotech industries in the development of new personalized drugs and diagnostics; and second, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY® System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.

 

We have three operating segments: domestic, international, and Helomics. Domestic and international consist of the STREAMWAY System product sales. The Helomics segment consists of clinical testing and contract research. Our TumorGenesis subsidiary is included within corporate. Going forward, we have determined that we will focus our resources on the Helomics segment and our primary mission of applying AI to precision medicine and drug discovery.

 

Precision Medicine Business

 

Our precision medicine business, conducted in our Helomics division, is committed to improving the effectiveness of cancer therapy using our proprietary, multi-omic tumor profiling platform, one-of-a-kind database of historical tumor data, and the power of AI to build predictive models of tumor drug response.

 

Helomics’ mission is to improve clinical outcomes for patients by partnering with pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and academic organizations to bring innovative clinical products and technologies to the marketplace. In addition to our proprietary patient-derived (“PDx”) tumor profiling platform for oncology, Helomics offers: 1) data and AI driven contract research organization (“CRO”) services for clinical and translational research that leverage PDx tumor models, 2) a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics, and biochemical), and 3) AI driven predictive models to drive the discovery of targeted therapies.

 

Contract Research Organization (CRO) and AI-Driven Business

 

We believe leveraging our unique, historical database of the drug responses of over 150,000 patient tumors to build AI and data-driven multi-omic predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome will provide actionable insights critical to both new drug development and individualizing patient treatment. Our large historical database of tumors and related data, plus our ability to obtain the associated patient outcome data is a significant competitive advantage. Cancer treatments require at least 5 years of testing to provide sufficient information on progression-free survival rates. While competitors must wait for this data, we can leverage it today. These AI-driven predictive models, coupled with the PDx platform will create a unique service to drive revenue generating projects with pharma, diagnostic and biotech companies in areas such as biomarker discovery, drug screening, drug repurposing, and clinical trials. The AI-driven models will, once validated, also provide clinical decision support to help oncologists individualize treatment.

 

Our CRO/AI business is committed to improving the process of targeted therapy discovery. Our proprietary, TruTumor multi-omic PDx profiling and AI platform coupled to our vast multi-omic database of biochemical and clinical information on patients with cancer, uses deep learning to understand the association between the mutational profile of a patient’s tumor and the drug response profile of the tumor that is grown in the lab. This approach is used to build an AI-driven predictive model that offers actionable insights of which mutations in the tumor are associated with drugs to which the tumor is sensitive and which will lead to the optimal outcome for the patient.

 

 

Our CRO services business applies these AI-driven predictive models coupled with our unique proprietary TruTumor PDx model to address a range of needs from discovery through clinical and translational research, to clinical trials and diagnostic development and validation as noted below:

•

Biomarker discovery

 

•

Drug discovery

 

•

Drug-repurposing

Development

•

Patient enrichment & selection for trials

 

•

Clinical trial optimization

 

•

Adaptive trials

Clinical Decision Support

•

Patient stratification

 

•

Treatment selection

 

We believe this market segment has significant growth potential and we believe we are differentiated from traditional CRO’s and other precision medicine and AI companies through these unique assets:

 

•

clinically validated PDx platform;

 

•

database of over 150,000 tumor cases;

 

•

experienced AI team and AI platform;

 

•

ability to access outcome data going back over ten years for over 120,000 of the tumor cases in our database.

 

Industry and Market Background and Analysis – Precision Medicine Business

 

Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in genes, disease, environment, and lifestyle for each case to develop effective therapies. This approach allows doctors and researchers to predict more accurately which treatment, dose, and therapeutic regimen could provide the best possible outcome. The global precision medicine market is estimated to reach $141.7 billion by 2026, up from $43.6 billion in 2016. This growth is supported by the industry’s investment in precision medicine, with leading biopharmaceutical companies doubling their investments in the technology over the last five years, with the potential to increase by an additional 33% over the next five years (Source: BIS Research’s Global Precision Medicine Market to Reach $141.70 Billion by 2026, December 2017).

 

Over the past several decades, researchers have identified molecular patterns that are useful in defining the prognosis of a given cancer, determining the appropriate treatments, and designing targeted treatments to address specific molecular alterations. The objective of precision medicine as directed towards cancer therapy is to develop treatments tailored to the genetic changes in each person’s cancer, intended to improve the effectiveness of the therapeutic regimen and minimize the treatment’s effects on healthy cells. However, for a majority of patients the reality is that while many mutations in the patient’s tumor can be identified most are not actionable with current protocols. As a result, the impact of targeted therapies is low, and uptake in clinical practice is inconsistent.

 

There is now a growing realization that genomics alone will not be enough to achieve the promise of personalized therapeutics, especially for cancer. A multi-omic approach (e.g. assessing the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, responseome, and microbiome) provides researchers and clinicians the comprehensive information necessary for new drug development and individualized therapy. Comparatively, the multi-omic approach provides a three-dimensional, 360-degree view of the cancer, while genomics alone is just a flat, one-dimensional view. However, multi-omic data is difficult to access quickly as it is both costly and time consuming to initiate prospective data collection, and few comprehensive, multi-omic datasets exist, especially specific to cancer.

  

 

Clinical Testing

 

Via our Helomics subsidiary, we offer a group of clinically relevant, cancer-related tumor profiling and biomarker tests for gynecological cancers that determine how likely the patient is to respond to various types of chemotherapy and which therapies might be indicated by relevant tumor biomarkers.

 

Clinical testing is comprised of ChemoFx and BioSpeciFx tests. The ChemoFx test determines how a patient’s tumor specimen responds to a panel of various chemotherapy drugs, while the BioSpeciFx test evaluates the expression of a specific genes, or biomarkers, in the patient’s tumor. Our proprietary TruTumor™ PDx tumor platform provides us with the ability to work with actual live tumor cells to study the unique biology of the patient’s tumor in order to understand how the patient responds to treatment.

 

Testing involves obtaining tumor tissue during biopsy or surgery which is then sent to our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certified laboratory using a special collection kit. Two samples of the tumor tissue are obtained, fixed and live. The fixed tumor tissue is tested for a panel of biomarkers using a combination of Immunohistochemistry and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reactions. The live tumor tissue is grown in the lab and used to test the drug response of the tumor to a panel of standard-of-care drugs. When testing is complete a report is provided back to the clinician with recommended therapies based on the drug response and biomarker profiles. Helomics integrates the drug response with other genomic and molecular data and compares it with historical data in our database to generate a roadmap that provides additional context to help the oncologist personalize patient treatment.

 

Recently Completed Acquisitions

 

In May 2020, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. and BioDtech, Inc. The Soluble Therapeutics business offers services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies to screen proteins for both solubility and stability, with possible applications to vaccines, antibodies and other proteins used in disease treatment. The acquired technologies also specialize in removing, identifying, and isolating endotoxins from products that are used by researchers to culture cells and to help identify endotoxins that maybe hidden within a protective matrix.

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Quantitative Medicine LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quantitative”) and its owners and simultaneously completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets owned by Quantitative. Quantitative is a biomedical analytics and computational biology company which has developed its novel, computational drug-discovery platform CoRE^TM, an innovative platform that predicts the main effects of drugs on target molecules that mediate disease, which is expected to dramatically reduce the time, cost and financial risk of discovering new therapeutic drugs. In the acquisition, the Company provided consideration in the form of 954,719 shares of common stock (the “Transaction Shares”), which, when issued, had a market value of approximately $1,750,000. Half of the Transaction Shares, representing 477,359 shares were deposited and held in escrow in connection with the sellers’ indemnification obligations, while 207,144 of the remaining Transaction Shares were issued to Carnegie Mellon University (“CMU”) in satisfaction of all pre-closing amounts owed to CMU by Seller under a technology licensing agreement between CMU and Seller that was assumed by the Company on the Closing Date. The remaining Transaction Shares were issued to Quantitative, subject to certain restrictions.  

 

Business Strategy for Precision Medicine Business

 

We are a data and AI-driven discovery services company that provides AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response to improve clinical outcomes for patients by leveraging our two primary unique assets:

 

•

A clinically validated PDx tumor profiling platform, TruTumor, that can generate drug response profiles and other multi-omic data. Over $200 million has been invested in this platform and was clinically validated in ovarian cancer.

 

•

Data on the drug response profiles of over 150,000 tumors across 137 cancer types tested using the PDx platform in over 10+ years of clinical testing. We call this database TumorSpace™.

 

 

Over 38,000 of the more than 150,000 clinically validated cases in our TumorSpace™ database are specific to ovarian cancer. The data in TumorSpace is highly differentiated, having both drug response data, biomarkers and access to historical outcome data from those patient samples. We intend to generate additional data (genomics and transcriptomics) from these tumor samples to deliver a multi-omic approach to the pharmaceutical industry. Through our Helomics subsidiary, we will utilize both this historical data and the PDx platform to build AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome through our CancerQuest 2020 (“CCQ2020”) initiative, which is still ongoing. Once validated, we will commercialize these AI-driven predictive models in revenue generating service projects with pharmaceutical, biotech, and diagnostic companies.

 

A key part of our commercialization strategy for the CCQ2020 initiative is the understanding that our AI-driven models of tumor drug response serves a key unmet need of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotech industries for actionable multi-omic insights on cancer. In collaboration with these companies, using the predictive models, we will accelerate the search for more individualized and effective cancer treatments, through revenue generating projects in biomarker discovery, drug screening, drug repurposing, and clinical trials.

 

Our commercial strategy has identified a portfolio of revenue generating project types that leverage the predictive models, our AI expertise, PDx tumor profiling, and CLIA laboratory to provide custom solutions utilizing our full array of assets and expertise.

 

The CCQ2020 initiative will focus initially on ovarian cancer, which is where we have the most expertise, samples, data, and access to outcomes. However, we intend to expand the initiative to include cancers of the lung, breast, colon, and prostate, and will actively seek partners to assist in that effort.

  

Within the clinical sector, we will utilize these predictive models (once validated) for new clinical decision support tools for individualizing therapy for patients with cancer. These clinical decision support tools are a longer revenue horizon than the research projects with pharmaceutical companies but, importantly, will provide a steady stream of additional data generation to refine the predictive models for both clinical and research applications.

 

Skyline Medical – The STREAMWAY System

 

Sold through our subsidiary, Skyline Medical, Inc (“Skyline Medical”), the STREAMWAY System virtually eliminates staff exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the healthcare environment. Antiquated manual fluid handling methods that require hand carrying and emptying filled fluid canisters present both an exposure risk and potential liability. Skyline Medical’s STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement, and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers; 2) improve compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines; 3) improve efficiency in the operating room and radiology and endoscopy departments, thereby leading to greater profitability; and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills each year in the United States.

 

In December 2019, we announced that we had received indications of interest from several parties for the possible acquisition of our Skyline Medical division, and we reaffirmed that we are focusing our resources on our precision medicine business. We continue to operate the Skyline Medical business with a focus on maximizing our strategic opportunities with respect to this division. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have no definitive agreement in place.

 

 

Industry and Market Background and Analysis - Infectious and Bio-hazardous Waste Management

 

There has long been recognition of the collective potential for ill effects to healthcare workers from exposure to infectious/bio-hazardous materials. Federal and state regulatory agencies have issued mandatory guidelines for the control of such materials, and in particular, bloodborne pathogens. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires employers to adopt engineering and work practice controls that would eliminate or minimize employee exposure from hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens. In 2001, in response to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. The revised standard clarifies and emphasizes the need for employers to select safer needle devices and to involve employees in identifying and choosing these devices. The revised standard also calls for the use of “automated controls” as it pertains to the minimization of healthcare exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

 

Most surgical procedures produce potentially infectious materials that must be disposed with the lowest possible risk of cross-contamination to healthcare workers. Current standards of care allow for these fluids to be retained in canisters and located in the operating room where they can be monitored throughout the surgical procedure. Once the procedure is complete these canisters and their contents are disposed using a variety of methods, all of which include manual handling and result in a heightened risk to healthcare workers for exposure to their contents. Canisters are the most prevalent means of collecting and disposing of infectious fluids in hospitals today. Traditional, non-powered canisters and related suction and fluid disposable products are exempt and do not require FDA clearance.

 

We believe that our virtually hands free direct-to-drain technology (1) significantly reduces the risk of healthcare worker exposure to these infectious fluids by replacing canisters, (2) further reduces the risk of worker exposure when compared to powered canister technology that requires transport to and from the operating room, (3) reduces the cost per procedure for handling these fluids, and (4) enhances the surgical team’s ability to collect data to accurately assess the patient’s status during and after procedures. In addition to the traditional canister method of waste fluid disposal, several other powered medical devices have been developed that address some of the deficiencies described above. Most of these competing products continue to utilize some variation on the existing canister technology, and while not directly addressing the canister, most have been successful in eliminating the need for an expensive gel and its associated handling and disposal costs. Our existing competitors with products already on the market have a clear competitive advantage over us in terms of brand recognition and market exposure. In addition, many of our competitors have extensive marketing and development budgets that could overpower an emerging growth company like ours.

  

We expect the hospital surgery market to continue to increase due to population growth, the aging of the population, and expansion of surgical procedures to new areas (for example, use of the endoscope) which requires more fluid management and new medical technology.

 

STREAMWAY System Product Sales

 

Our domestic and international segments consist primarily of sales of the STREAMWAY System, as well as sales of the proprietary cleaning fluid and filters for use with the STREAMWAY System. We manufacture an environmentally conscious system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids resulting from surgical and other medical procedures. We have been granted patents for the STREAMWAY System in the United States, Canada, and Europe. We distribute our products to medical facilities where bodily and irrigation fluids produced during medical procedures must be contained, measured, documented, and disposed. Our products minimize the exposure potential to the healthcare workers who handle such fluids. In addition to simplifying the handling of these fluids, our goal is to create products that dramatically reduce staff exposure without significant changes to established operative procedures, historically a major industry stumbling block to innovation and product introduction.

 

The STREAMWAY System is a wall-mounted fully automated system that disposes of an unlimited amount of suction fluid providing uninterrupted performance for physicians while virtually eliminating healthcare workers’ exposure to potentially infectious fluids collected during surgical and other patient procedures. The STREAMWAY System also provides an innovative way to dispose of ascites and pleural fluid with no evac bottles, suction canisters, transport, or risk of exposure. We also manufacture and sell two disposable products required for the operation of the STREAMWAY System: a bifurcated dual port procedure filter with tissue trap and a single use bottle of cleaning solution. Both items are utilized on a single procedure basis and must be discarded after use. The STREAMWAY disposables are a critical component of our business model. Recurring revenues from the sale of the disposables are expected to be significantly higher over time than the revenues from the initial sale of the unit. We have exclusive distribution rights to the disposable solution.

 

 

We sell our medical device products directly to hospitals and other medical facilities using employed sales representatives, independent contractors and distributors.

 

TumorGenesis Division

 

Our subsidiary, TumorGenesis, is pursuing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” the cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside the patient. We have also announced a proposed joint venture with GLG Pharma focused on using their combined technologies to bring personalized medicines and testing to ovarian and breast cancer patients, especially those who present with ascites fluid (over one-third of patients).

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

We have suffered recurring losses from operations, and we have significant debt repayment obligations that are due within the current year. Although we have been able to fund our current working capital requirements, principally through debt and equity financing, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. As a result of our capital needs for operations and debt repayment, we need to raise significant capital, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital. As a result management has substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were originally incorporated on April 23, 2002 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2013. We changed our name from Skyline Medical, Inc. to Precision Therapeutics, Inc. on February 1, 2018 and to Predictive Oncology, Inc. on June 13, 2019.

Description of the Private Placement

 

Warrant Exercise Letter Agreements and Registration Rights Agreement

 

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into Warrant Exercise Letter Agreements (the “Exercise Agreements”) with certain accredited institutional investors (the “Holders”) holding warrants of the Company (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,396,826 shares of Common Stock, issued on May 8, 2020, exercisable immediately at $1.45 per share of Common Stock and terminating five and one-half years after the date of issuance. The resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) has been registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239207) (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

 

Pursuant to the Exercise Agreements, the Holders have agreed to immediately exercise in cash (the “Exercise”) the Existing Warrants at the exercise price of $1.45 per share plus an additional $0.125 per New Warrant (as defined below), and as consideration the Company will issue to each Holder the applicable number of Warrant Shares and a new unregistered Common Stock Purchase Warrant (a “New Warrant”) to purchase up to a number of shares (the “New Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Existing Warrants. The New Warrants are exercisable immediately and have a term of five and one-half years and an exercise price per share equal to $1.80. Each Holder (together with its respective affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the New Warrants to the extent that the Holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise. However, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the Holder to the Company, a Holder with a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding Common Stock after exercising the Holder’s New Warrant up to 9.99% of the number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the New Warrant.

 

 

Before deducting placement agent fees and expenses, the Company received approximately $2,200,000 from the transactions pursuant to the Exercise Agreements. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of these transactions for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

The Company agreed to prepare and file with the Commission this registration statement relating to the resale of the New Warrant Shares as soon as practicable (and in any event within 20 calendar days from the date of the Exercise Agreements), and to use best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission within certain time periods specified in the Exercise Agreements and subject to certain liquidated damages and interest if the time periods specified in the Exercise Agreements are not satisfied.

 

Pursuant to an Engagement Letter (the “Engagement Letter”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”), the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds received from the Exercise and the sale of the New Warrants as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the Exercise and the sale of the New Warrants. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its expenses in connection with the Exercise, up to $40,000, and agreed to pay the Placement Agent for non-accountable expenses in the amount of $25,000. The Engagement Letter contains indemnification, representations, warranties and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. Also pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to issue the Placement Agent or its designees warrants with the same terms as the New Warrants except for an exercise price equal to 125% of the exercise price per share of the New Warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock. This summary is, however, subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For greater detail about our capital stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). Out of the Preferred Stock, as of July 7, 2020, 2,300,000 shares have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 79,246 shares were outstanding.

 

The outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of its holders on a 1:1 basis, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker.

 

Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the certificate or certificates establishing the series of Preferred Stock.

 

 

Common Stock

 

As of July 7, 2020, we had 13,200,787 shares of common stock outstanding held by approximately 165 stockholders of record.

 

Voting Rights. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Common Stock owned by that shareholder on every matter properly submitted to the shareholders for their vote. Shareholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.

 

Dividend Rights. Subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such dividends or distributions.

 

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders of our Common Stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution to shareholders after payment of liabilities and after the satisfaction of any liquidation preference owed to the holders of any Preferred Stock.

 

Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Common Stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Bylaws. Certain provisions of our Bylaws could have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our corporate policies formulated by our Board of Directors. In addition, these provisions also are intended to ensure that our Board of Directors will have sufficient time to act in what our Board of Directors believes to be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. Nevertheless, these provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control of us by the holder of a large block of Common Stock, and could also discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interest of our shareholders. These provisions are summarized below.

 

Advance Notice Provisions for Raising Business or Nominating Directors. Sections 2.09 and 2.10 of our Bylaws contain advance-notice provisions relating to the ability of shareholders to raise business at a shareholder meeting and make nominations for directors to serve on our Board of Directors. These advance-notice provisions generally require shareholders to raise business within a specified period of time prior to a meeting in order for the business to be properly brought before the meeting.

 

Number of Directors and Vacancies. Our Bylaws provide that the exact number of directors shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III (each, a “Class”). In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each director serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or otherwise and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled solely by a majority of the directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director.

 

 

Delaware Law. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

	•	prior to such date, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
	•	upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
	•	on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

 

	•	any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
	•	any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
	•	subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
	•	any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
	•	the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation at any time within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status; and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

 

These statutory provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of our company. They could also discourage, impede, or prevent a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interests of stockholders. In addition, note that while Delaware law permits companies to opt out of its business combination statute, our Certificate of Incorporation does not include this opt-out provision.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc.

 

Listing

 

The shares of our common stock are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “POAI.” On July 7, 2020, the last reported sale price per share for our common stock as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.56.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Stockholders or their permitted transferees may, from time to time, sell any or all of shares of our common stock covered hereby on the Nasdaq stock market, or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

•	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
•	in the over-the-counter market;
•	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
•	through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
•	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.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, provided such amounts are in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of common stock will be paid by the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers.

 

The Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, they may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale of securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

We are a Delaware corporation and certain provisions of the Delaware Statutes and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which indemnification is provided is discussed below, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of our officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification provided for is contained herein, but that description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant Section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

In general, the statute provides that any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in a proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding) to which the individual was a party by reason of such status. Such indemnity may be provided if the indemnified person’s actions resulting in the liabilities: (i) were taken in good faith; (ii) were reasonably believed to have been in or not opposed to our best interest; and (iii) with respect to any criminal action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the actions were unlawful. Unless ordered by a court, indemnification generally may be awarded only after a determination of independent members of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, by independent legal counsel or by vote of the stockholders that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the individual to be indemnified.

 

The statutory provisions further provide that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, he is entitled to receive indemnification against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding.

 

Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the director, officer, employee or agent is successful is permitted only with respect to expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense. In such actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith, in a manner believed to have been in our best interest and must not have been adjudged liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Indemnification is otherwise prohibited in connection with a proceeding brought on behalf of the Company in which a director is adjudged liable to us, or in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the director is adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit.

 

 

Delaware law authorizes us to reimburse or pay reasonable expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding in advance of a final disposition of the matter. Such advances of expenses are permitted if the person furnishes to us a written agreement to repay such advances if it is determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

The statutory section cited above further specifies that any provisions for indemnification of or advances for expenses does not exclude other rights under our certificate of incorporation, corporate bylaws, resolutions of our stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. These indemnification provisions continue for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such persons.

 

The statutory provision cited above also grants the power to the Company to purchase and maintain insurance policies that protect any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in such capacity arising out of his status as such. Such policies may provide for indemnification whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to provide for it.

 

Article 8 of our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in order to limit the exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have 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.

 

Item 16. Exhibits.

  

See “Exhibit Index” below, which follows the signature pages to this registration statement.

 

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;

 

(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, an increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

 

(iii)

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

 

(2)

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

 

(3)

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

 

(4)

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

 

	(i)	Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
	(ii)	Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), 424(b)(5), or 424(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), 415(a)(1)(vii), or 415(a)(1)(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 the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)

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

  

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

(iii)

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

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

		(b)	The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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 this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
		(c)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
		(d)	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 foregoing provisions, 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 of 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.

 

		(e)	For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
		(f)	For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
		(g)	If and when applicable, the Registrant hereby further undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for Predictive Oncology Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with registration on the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-____________ ) (the "Registration Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), of the resale by the selling stockholders named therein (the "Selling Stockholders") of an aggregate of 1,396,826 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value, issuable to the Selling Stockholders in connection with certain Warrants pursuant to Warrant Exercise Letter Agreements dated June 25, 2020, by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholders. The Shares include 1,396,826 shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of warrants held by the Selling Stockholders.

 

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

 

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render the opinions set forth below. In our examination, we have assumed without independent investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

 

We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the statutory provisions and all applicable judicial decisions interpreting those laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America.

 

Based upon the following and upon the representations and information provided by the Company, we hereby advise you that, in our opinion, the Shares were duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable.
