ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

OUR COMPANY

 

This summary highlights information contained in the documents incorporated herein by reference. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus, and our other filings with the SEC, including those filings incorporated herein by reference, carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

We are a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapy product candidates for the treatment of multiple ischemic, inflammatory and hematologic conditions. Our lead indications are critical limb ischemia, or CLI, recovery after surgery for femoral neck fracture, and acute radiation syndrome, or ARS. Pivotal, multinational clinical trials are planned for our PLX-PAD product candidate in CLI and femoral neck fracture, and for our PLX-R18 product candidate in the hematologic component of ARS. Each of these indications is a severe unmet medical need. 

PLX cells are derived from a class of placental cells that are harvested from donated placentas at the time of full term delivery of a live baby. PLX cell products require no tissue matching prior to administration. They are produced using our proprietary three-dimensional expansion technology. Our manufacturing facility complies with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s, or FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements and has been approved by the European, Japanese and Israeli regulatory authorities for production of PLX-PAD for late stage trials and marketing. We expect to have in-house production capacity to grow clinical-grade PLX cells in commercial quantities.

 

Our goal is to make significant progress with our robust clinical pipeline and our anticipated pivotal trials in order to ultimately bring innovative, potent therapies to patients who need new treatment options. We intend to shorten the time to commercialization of our first product candidate, PLX-PAD, by leveraging the unique accelerated regulatory pathways that exist in Europe and Japan to bring innovative products that address life-threatening diseases to the market efficiently. We believe that these accelerated pathways create substantial opportunities for us and for the cell therapy industry as a whole. We are pursuing these accelerated pathways for PLX-PAD in CLI and femoral neck fracture. Our second product candidate, PLX R18, is under development in the United States for ARS via the Animal Rule regulatory pathway, which may result in approval without the prior performance of human efficacy trials. We expect to demonstrate a real-world impact and value from our pipeline, technology platform and commercial-scale manufacturing capacity.

We were incorporated as a Nevada corporation in 2001. We have a wholly owned subsidiary in Israel called Pluristem Ltd.  Our executive offices are located at MATAM Advanced Technology Park, Building No. 5, Haifa, Israel, our telephone number is 011 972 74 710 8759 and our website address is www.pluristem.com.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors below as well as risk factors contained in any prospectus supplement and in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as well as all of the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the other documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before you decide to invest in our securities. Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result of any of such risks.  The value of our securities could decline as a result of any of these risks.  You could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.  The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we have entered into a term sheet with Innovative Medical Management Co. Ltd., there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be signed or that such proposed investment will be made.

 

We have signed a binding term sheet with Innovative Medical Management Co. Ltd., or Innovative Medical, related to Innovative Medical’s proposed investment of approximately $30,000,000. Although the term sheet provided that definitive agreements would be executed by December 26, 2016, we announced on December 23, 2016, that, due to a recently adopted Chinese policy relating to outbound investments by Chinese companies, we agreed to extend the time of execution of the definitive agreements relating to Innovative Medical’s proposed investment. As a result of this recently adopted Chinese policy, we now plan to continue the discussions with respect to the definitive agreements until we have received further clarification about such policies, which we initially expected to receive during the first half of 2017. We now do not expect the needed clarifications regarding the agreement with Innovative Medical to be provided by the end of the first half of 2017. Thus, it is possible that the definitive agreements will not be executed, or that they may be executed on terms and conditions that are materially different than those set forth in the term sheet. There can be no assurance that we will execute the definitive agreements or that Innovative Medical’s proposed investment will be made.

 

Although we have entered into a term sheet with Sosei Corporate Venture Capital Ltd. there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be signed or that such proposed joint venture will be formed.

 

We have signed a binding term sheet with Sosei Corporate Venture Capital Ltd., or Sosei CVC, for the establishment of for the establishment of a new Japanese corporation, or NewCo, for the clinical development and commercialization of our PLX-PAD cell therapy product in Japan. While the parties have executed a term sheet and we believe such definitive agreements will be finalized in the coming months, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in executing agreements by then. It is possible that the definitive agreements will not be executed, or that they may be executed on terms and conditions that are materially different than those set forth in the term sheet. There can be no assurance that we will execute the definitive agreements or that the proposed joint venture with Sosei CVC will be completed.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in an applicable prospectus supplement, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for research and product development activities, clinical trial activities, investment in capital equipment and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

We may set forth additional information on the use of net proceeds from the sale of securities we offer under this prospectus in a prospectus supplement relating to the specific offering. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we intend to invest any proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments such as bank deposits or investment-grade, interest-bearing securities subject to any investment policies our investment committee may determine from time to time.

 

THE SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

 

The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with any applicable prospectus supplement, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in any applicable prospectus supplement relating to any securities the particular terms of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in any applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of the securities may differ from the terms we have summarized below. We may also include in any prospectus supplement information, where applicable, about material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the securities, and the securities exchange or market, if any, on which the securities will be listed.

 

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, one or more of the following securities:

 

 

 

 

 

The total initial offering price of all securities that we may issue in these offerings will not exceed $200,000,000.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following summary is a description of the material terms of our share capital. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated By-laws which have been filed with the SEC, as well as the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 200,000,000  shares of common stock, of which there were 96,171,868 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017, and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, none of which are outstanding. The following statements set forth the material terms of our capital stock; however, reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and these statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which are referenced as exhibits herein, and the provisions of Nevada General Corporation Law.  Except for our ability to issue additional securities, including preferred stock with terms that may be determined at a later date by our Board, there are no provisions in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.

 

Common Stock

 

Except as otherwise required by applicable law and subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, all voting rights are vested in and exercised by the holders of common stock with each share of our common stock being entitled to one vote.  In the event of liquidation, holders of the common stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of liabilities, if any.  Holders of the common stock have no cumulative voting rights and no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for shares. Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors is empowered, without further action by stockholders, to issue from time to time one or more series of preferred stock, with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the Board may determine by resolution. The rights, preferences and limitations of separate series of preferred stock may differ with respect to such matters among such series as may be determined by the Board, including, without limitation, the rate of dividends, method and nature of payment of dividends, terms of redemption, amounts payable on liquidation, sinking fund provisions (if any), conversion rights (if any) and voting rights. Certain issuances of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that some stockholders may believe is not in their interest.

 

Transfer Agent

 

American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC is the registrar and transfer agent for our common shares.  Their address is 6201 15th Avenue, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11219, telephone: (718) 921-8261, (800) 937-5449.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Law

 

Nevada revised statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply.  This statute currently does not apply to our Company because in order to be applicable we would have to have as shareholders a specified number of Nevada residents and we would have to do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants (and any securities issuable upon exercise of such warrants) in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement.

 

General

 

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

 

We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement or by warrant agreements that we will enter into directly with the purchasers of the warrants. If we evidence warrants by warrant certificates, we will enter into a warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent, if any, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

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

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering to the warrant agent or us the warrant certificate or warrant agreement representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and by paying the required amount to the warrant agent or us in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate or in the warrant agreement and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent or us in connection with such exercise.

 

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

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

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

 

Outstanding Warrants

 

The shares of common stock registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part include 3,219,983 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants that were issued under our registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective on October 20, 2011 (Registration No. 333-177009).  Such warrants were issued on September 19, 2012, have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expire on September 19, 2017. 

 

No prospectus supplement will be delivered in connection with the issuance of these shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of such warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue, in one or more series, units consisting of common stock, preferred stock and/or warrants for the purchase of common stock and/or preferred stock, in any combination.  While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.  The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will file as exhibits to a prospectus supplement, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units.  The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units.  We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.  Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security.  The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

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

 

 

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Capital Stock” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in such distinct series as we determine.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities being offered hereby in one or more of the following ways from time to time:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The securities that we distribute by any of these methods may be sold, in one or more transactions, at:

 

 

 

 

 

The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the offering of our securities, including:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of the sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. We may change from time to time the public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

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

 

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

 

We may also sell securities pursuant to an “equity line of credit”. In such event, we will enter into a common stock purchase agreement with the purchaser to be named therein, which will be described in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC. In that Form 8-K, we will describe the total amount of securities that we may require the purchaser to purchase under the purchase agreement and the other terms of purchase, and any rights that the purchaser is granted to purchase securities from us. In addition to our issuance of shares of common stock to the equity line purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreement, this prospectus (and the applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment) also covers the resale of those shares from time to time by the equity line purchaser to the public. The equity line purchaser will be considered an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Its resales may be effected through a number of methods, including without limitation, ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers and block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction.  The equity line purchaser will be bound by various anti-manipulation rules of the SEC and may not, for example, engage in any stabilization activity in connection with its resales of our securities and may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

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

 

We may provide underwriters and agents with indemnification against civil liabilities related to offerings pursuant to this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the underwriters or agents may make with respect to these liabilities. Underwriters and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business. We will describe such relationships in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter or agent and the nature of any such relationship.

 

Rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for or purchase securities before the distribution of the shares of common stock is completed. However, underwriters may engage in the following activities in accordance with the rules:

 

 

 

Similar to other purchase transactions, an underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales or to stabilize the market price of our common stock may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or mitigating a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of the shares of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of shares if it discourages resales of the shares.

 

If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of these activities at any time.

 

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. One or more underwriters may make a market in our common stock, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to liquidity of the trading market for our common stock.

 

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the NASDAQ Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in that market in the common stock in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

 

In compliance with guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Exercise of Outstanding Warrants

 

We will sell and deliver shares of our common stock directly to those holders who validly exercise certain warrants that were registered under a previous registration statement. No prospectus supplement will be delivered in connection with such transactions. See “Description of Warrants – Outstanding Warrants” on page 5 of this prospectus.
