ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any post-effective amendment, or any applicable prospectus supplement prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the Selling Stockholders take no responsibility for and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of any other information that others may give you. This prospectus is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in this prospectus is current only as of the date on the front cover of the prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

 

This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under the section entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

Industry and Market Data

 

This prospectus includes estimates regarding market and industry data. Unless otherwise indicated, information concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations, market position, market opportunity, and market size, are based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, together with currently available information obtained from various third-party sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, our customers, trade and business organizations, and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. Although we believe these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, neither we nor the underwriters have independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications.

 

Trademarks and Trade Names

 

We own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks, and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business. This prospectus may also contain trademarks, service marks, and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about us and our industry, as well as statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Additionally, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and may not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

 

  our projected financial position and estimated cash burn rate;
     
  our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, and capital requirements;
     
  the success, cost, and timing of our clinical trials;
     
  our ability to obtain funding for our operations necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates;
     
  our dependence on third parties in the conduct of our clinical trials;
     
  our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and commercialize our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates;
     
  the potential that the results of our pre-clinical and clinical trials indicate our current diagnostic tests or any future diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop are unsafe or ineffective;
     
  the results of market research conducted by us or others;
     
  our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our diagnostic and therapeutic inventions or future diagnostic and therapeutic inventions to expand our product offerings;
     
  our ability to protect our intellectual property (“IP”) rights and the potential for us to incur substantial costs from lawsuits to enforce or protect our IP rights;
     
  the possibility that a third party may claim we or our third-party licensors have infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated their IP rights and that we may incur substantial costs and be required to devote substantial time defending against such claims;
     
  our reliance on third parties;
     
  the success of competing therapies, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic products that are or will become available;
     
  our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth and to retain and attract key personnel;

 

iii

 

 

  our potential to incur substantial costs resulting from product liability lawsuits against us and the potential for such lawsuits to cause us to limit the commercialization of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates;
     
  market acceptance of our diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates, the size and growth of the potential markets for our current diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates, and any future diagnostic tests and therapeutic product candidates we may seek to develop, and our ability to serve those markets;
     
  the successful development of our commercialization capabilities, including sales and marketing capabilities;
     
  compliance with government regulations, including environmental, health, and safety regulations and liabilities thereunder;
     
  the impact of a health epidemic on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole;
     
  general instability of economic and political conditions in the United States (“U.S.”), including inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, economic slowdown or recession, and escalating geopolitical tensions;
     
  our anticipated uses of net proceeds from our financings;
     
  the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and
     
  other factors discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties, as well as risks and uncertainties that are currently unknown to us, are or may be exacerbated by factors such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, the war in the Middle East, increasing economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures, and any consequent worsening of the global business and economic environment. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this prospectus or any other filing with the SEC occur, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements we make herein and therein prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein, and the documents that we reference within it with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

 

Website and Social Media Disclosure

 

We use our websites (www.bioaffinitytech.com, ir.bioaffinitytech.com, www.cypathlung.com and www.Precisionpath.us/) to share Company information.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary provides an overview of information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and highlights the key aspects of this Offering. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider prior to investing in our Common Stock or Warrants. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making any investment decision. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “bioAffinity,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this prospectus refer to bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Company Overview

 

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “bioAffinity,” “we,” or “our”) develops noninvasive diagnostics to detect early-stage lung cancer and other diseases of the lung using flow cytometry and automated analysis developed by machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence (“AI”). Our diagnostic platform analyzes cell populations that are indicative of a specific disease and uses AI to standardize sample data analysis and patient test results.

 

Our first diagnostic test, CyPath® Lung, addresses the need for noninvasive detection of early-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Physicians order CyPath® Lung to assist in their decision-making in the diagnosis of patients who are at high risk for lung cancer. The CyPath® Lung test enables physicians to more confidently identify patients who will likely benefit from timely intervention and more invasive follow-up procedures including biopsy and those who are likely without lung cancer and should continue screening in accordance with guidelines. CyPath® Lung has been shown to detect lung cancer at Stage 1A, its earliest stage, and has the potential to increase overall diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer, which could lead to increased survival, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs.

 

Commercial laboratory services, including CyPath® Lung, are performed at our wholly owned subsidiary Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (“PPLS”) which we acquired by purchasing the assets of Village Oaks Pathology Services, P.A., a Texas professional association d/b/a Precision Pathology Services, that included the CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified commercial laboratory it owned. We own and operate PPLS, a clinical anatomic and pathology laboratory that offers CyPath® Lung for sale to physicians and is reimbursed by Medicare and private insurance carriers.

 

We continue to advance development of our flow cytometry+AI platform for companion diagnostic tests targeted at chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) and asthma. Diagnostics under development are designed to detect specific receptors in sputum that determine the effectiveness of new and emerging therapies for asthma and COPD that have proven to effectively treat some but not all patients.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, OncoSelect® Therapeutics, LLC, we have conducted research that has led to discoveries and advancement of novel cancer therapeutic approaches that specifically and selectively target cancer cells. We continue to advance research and development for use of this technology for topical treatment of squamous cell skin cancer. We have presented our findings at conferences and will continue to do so, as well as publish our research in peer-reviewed journals in the near future. We intend to seek strategic partners to develop our therapeutic discoveries which could result in broad-spectrum cancer treatments in the future.

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 14, 2025, we completed a private placement with certain institutional and accredited investors for gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 million, before deducting agent fees and other estimated expenses payable by us. The offering consisted of (i) 990 shares of our newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value $0.001 per share and stated value of $1,000 per share initially convertible into 4,304,343 shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.23 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 6,714,780 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.352 per share of Common Stock.

On August 14, 2025, we also completed a warrant inducement transaction with the holder of a warrant, pursuant to which such holder exercised for cash a total of 1,100,000 warrants originally issued in August 2024 and October 2024, at the reduced exercise price of $0.23 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $253,000. In connection with the immediate exercise of the August 2024 and October 2024 Warrants, we issued unregistered common warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,430,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.352 per share, which warrants are not exercisable until our stockholders approve such exercise.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 26, 2014. Our principal executive office is located at 3300 Nacogdoches Road, Suite 216, San Antonio, Texas 78217, and our telephone number at that address is (210) 698-5334. Our website address is https://www.bioaffinitytech.com/. Information contained on or that can be accessed through our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Investors should not consider any such information to be part of this prospectus.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an EGC, for up to five years, we may elect to take advantage of certain specified exemptions from reporting and other regulatory requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. For example, these exemptions would allow us to:

 

  present two, rather than three, years of audited financial statements with correspondingly reduced disclosure in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section (the “MD&A”) of this prospectus;
     
  defer the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting;
     
  make reduced disclosures about our executive compensation arrangements; and
     
  forego the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until they would be applicable to private companies.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under SEC rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding internal control over financial reporting, to provide a compensation discussion and analysis, or to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure, and they may present two, rather than three, years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time that we are no longer an EGC. We will continue to remain an EGC until the earliest of the following: (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenue is equal to or more than $1.235 billion; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an EGC, certain of the exemptions available to us as an EGC may continue to be available to us as a “smaller reporting company,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our Common Stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our Common Stock) or a public float (based on our Common Stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.

We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions. We have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting obligations in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an EGC may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards. As a result of the accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not EGCs which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult.

 

Summary of Risk Factors

 

Like any emerging growth company, we face significant risk factors that may impede our plans for successful commercialization of our diagnostic and therapeutic products. These risks are discussed in detail under the “Risk Factors” discussion beginning on page 7 of this prospectus.

 

The following summarizes the principal factors that make an investment in our Company speculative or risky, all of which are more fully described in the section below titled “Risk Factors.” This summary should be read in conjunction with the section below titled “Risk Factors” and should not be relied upon as an exhaustive summary of the material risks facing our business. The following factors could result in harm to our business, reputation, revenue, financial results, and prospects, among other impacts:

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Position

 

  Our business plan relies upon our ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing.
  We must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.
  Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
  We are unable to precisely estimate when we will begin to generate significant profit from PPLS.
  We have limited experience operating a laboratory.

 

Risks Related to our Diagnostic Product

 

  Delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients could delay or prevent regulatory approvals.
  Clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming, and may not be successful.

 

Risks Related to Our Diagnostic Tests

 

  If our tests do not perform as expected, our operating results, reputation, and business will suffer.
  We may experience difficulties that delay or prevent our development, introduction, or marketing of enhanced or new tests.
  Clinical testing of a particular diagnostic test or therapeutic product candidate may not yield successful results.
  Even if our diagnostic tests or therapeutic products receive marketing approval, we may not be successful in commercializing them.
  We are currently dependent upon our laboratory subsidiary, PPLS, to offer and perform CyPath® Lung.
  If we cannot convince physicians of the benefits of our diagnostic tests or therapeutic products, market acceptance could be delayed.
  We face substantial competition.
  Our success depends upon our ability to retain key executives and attract and retain qualified personnel.
  Our lack of operating experience may make it difficult to manage our growth.
  We will depend on third parties to supply reagents and equipment necessary to perform our diagnostic tests and to design trial protocols and monitor clinical trials.

 

3

 

 

  We are exposed to product liability and pre-clinical and clinical liability risks.
  Our failure to comply with privacy and security regulations could result in liability or reputational harm.
  Our ability to obtain adequate reimbursement for our diagnostic tests may impact our revenues.
  Our employees, consultants, partners, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities.
  Failure to comply with healthcare laws and regulations could result in substantial penalties.
  We face intense competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
  The market for our proposed tests and products is competitive and rapidly changing.
  Healthcare cost containment initiatives and the growth of managed care may limit our returns.
  Disruption of internal information technology systems will adversely affect our business.
  Declining general economic or business conditions may have a negative impact on our business.
  Global climate change and related regulations could negatively affect our business.

 

Risks Related to the Operation of a CAP/CLIA Laboratory

 

  PPLS’ operations depend upon the relationship of certain of our pathologists with existing customers.
  PPLS may be unable to maintain equipment or generate revenue when its equipment is not operational.
  If our sole laboratory facility becomes damaged or inoperable, loses its accreditation, or is required to vacate the facility, PPLS’ ability to sell its products or provide diagnostic assays and pursue its research and development efforts may be jeopardized.
  Disruption in the commercial courier delivery services used by PPLS to transport sputum samples could harm its business.
  Security breaches, data loss, and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information of PPLS’ business.
  If PPLS uses hazardous chemicals in a manner that causes injury, PPLS could be liable for damages.
  If PPLS is unable to successfully scale its operations to support demand, its business could suffer.
  PPLS must dedicate substantial time and resources to its complex billing process to be paid.
  Delays of third-party billing and collection providers and an in-house billing function to transmit claims to payors could have an adverse effect on PPLS.

 

Risks Related to Intellectual Property Rights

  We may need to obtain licenses of third-party technology that may not be available to us or available to us on reasonable terms.
  Our competitive position depends on protection of our intellectual property. Diagnostic tests and therapeutic products we develop could be subject to infringement claims.
  We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property.
  If we are unable to protect our trade secrets, our business and competitive position could be harmed.
  Changes in patent law could impair our ability to protect our tests and product candidates.

  Patent terms may be inadequate to protect our diagnostic tests or therapeutic product candidates.
  Issued patents could be found invalid or unenforceable.
  If we do not obtain patent term extension, our business may be harmed.
  We enjoy only limited geographical protection with respect to certain patents.
  If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition.

Risks Related to Government Regulations

 

  Failure to comply with laws pertaining to laboratory developed tests (“LDTs”) or in vitro devices (“IVDs”) could adversely affect our business.
  Third-party licensors of our future therapeutic products may be unable to obtain regulatory approval.
  Failure to obtain regulatory approval in foreign jurisdictions would prevent our product candidates from being marketed in those jurisdictions that deny approval.
  We may never obtain approval or commercialize such products outside of the U.S.
  The impact of changes to healthcare policy and future healthcare reform legislation is unknown.

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Warrants

 

  Our failure to meet the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.
  We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
  Our Common Stock market price may never exceed the exercise price of our outstanding warrants.
  Holders of our warrants have no rights as stockholders until they exercise their warrants.
  The provisions of our outstanding warrants could limit a warrant holder’s ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes.
  The financial and operational projections that we may make from time to time are subject to inherent risks.
  Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile, and may be volatile in the future.
  Our Common Stock has often been thinly traded.
  An investment in our Company may involve tax implications.
  Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
  Our Board can designate classes of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval.
  Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of the Company more difficult.
  Provisions in our Charter and Amended and Restated (“A&R”) Bylaws could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult.
  Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) may have anti-takeover effects.
  Our Charter designates Delaware state or federal courts as the exclusive forum for disputes.
  Provisions in our Charter and A&R Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers.
  Our management collectively owns a substantial percentage of our Common Stock.
  If analysts publish unfavorable research, or none at all, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
  Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

  Our Common Stock could be subject to extreme volatility.
  Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our share price to fall.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Company involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in our Company. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material and adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth prospects, as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. As a result, the market value of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations and market value. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Resales of our Common Stock in the public market by our stockholders as a result of this offering may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.

 

We are registering Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the Common Warrants. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. The issuance of new shares of Common Stock could result in resales of our Common Stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable or convertible into Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results.

 

This offering may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decrease.

 

The price per share of our Common Stock, together with the number of shares of Common Stock we propose to issue upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the Common Warrants and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our Common Stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

We have not designated any portion of the net proceeds from the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and/or exercise of Common Warrants to be used for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds and you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company. Our management’s judgment may not result in positive returns on your investment, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions.

 

The Nasdaq Capital Market may subsequently delist our Common Stock if we fail to comply with ongoing listing standards.

 

On February 7, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (December 23, 2024, through February 6, 2025), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided 180 calendar days, or until August 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule.

 

On May 27, 2025, we received written notice from the Nasdaq Staff stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Continued Listing Equity Requirement”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,439,404 as of March 31, 2025, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance (a “Compliance Plan”) with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement. On July 14, 2025, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement.

 

On August 7, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 6, 2025 and were not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period as we did not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, unless we request an appeal to a hearings panel (the “Panel”) by August 14, 2025, our securities would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and would be suspended at the opening of business on August 18, 2025.

 

We submitted an appeal to Nasdaq on August 14, 2025, which will stay the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Panel. On August 14, 2025, we received written notice from Nasdaq that our hearing has been scheduled for September 11, 2025. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its views and its plans to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Continued Listing Equity Requirement to the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, the Continued Listing Equity Requirement or any other applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the hearing.

 

If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our Common Stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore experience potentially more price volatility than experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of Common Stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our Common Stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.

THE PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

 

Warrant Inducement Private Placement

 

On August 13, 2025, we entered into the Inducement Agreement with the Warrant Inducement Holders that had previously purchased warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued on August 5, 2024, with a current exercise price of $1.25 per share (the “August 2024 Warrant”) and warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued on October 21, 2024, with a current exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “October 2024 Warrant” and together with the August 2024 Warrant, the “Existing Warrants”). Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the Warrant Inducement Holders agreed to exercise in cash the Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $0.23 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $253,000.

 

The offer and resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants (the “Existing Warrant Shares”) were registered pursuant to our registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-282045 and 333-283521), respectively

 

In consideration of the Warrant Inducement Holders’ immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants (the “Existing Warrant Exercise”), at the exercise price of $0.23 per share in accordance with the Inducement Agreement, we issued to the Warrant Inducement Holders new warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,430,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.352 per share. The Inducement Warrants will not become exercisable until our stockholders approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Inducement Warrants in excess of 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding on the closing date (the “Stockholder Approval”). Following Stockholder Approval, the Inducement Warrants have a term of five years.

 

We agreed in the Inducement Agreement to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the Inducement Warrant Shares as soon as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days following the date of the Inducement Agreement) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement effective at all times until no Inducement Warrant Holder owns any Inducement Warrants or Inducement Warrant Shares.

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated in the Inducement Agreement, we entered into an Advisory Agreement with WallachBeth. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, we agreed to pay WallachBeth a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the total proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants. In addition, we agreed to issue to WallachBeth warrants 33,000 shares of Common Stock. We also agreed to reimburse WallachBeth for its actual and out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum amount of $15,000.

 

August 2025 Private Placement

 

On August 13, 2025, we entered into the Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Investors, pursuant to which we issued to the Investors in the August 2025 Private Placement, (i) 990 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into 4,304,343 Conversion Shares of Common Stock, at an initial conversion price of $0.23 per share and (ii) warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,714,780 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.352 per share of Common Stock.

 

We received aggregate gross proceeds from the August 2025 Private Placement of approximately $1.2 million, before deducting fees payable to WallachBeth as placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. The issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Conversion Shares, the Private Warrants and the Private Warrant Shares were not registered under the Securities Act. The Private Warrants will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the Private Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants (the “Private Warrant Stockholder Approval Date” and together with the Inducement Stockholder Approval Date, the “Stockholder Approval Date”) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Private Warrant Stockholder Approval Date.

 

WallachBeth acted as the placement agent on a “reasonable best efforts” basis in connection with the August 2025 Private Placement and pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement and received a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors in the August 2025 Private Placement and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $65,000. As additional compensation to WallachBeth, in connection with the August 2025 Private Placement, we issued the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 129,130 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price per share equal to $0.352. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Private Warrants, including that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.352 per share, except that they were immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the Private Warrant Shares as soon as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the Commission and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the Investors no longer own any Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares, Private Warrants or Private Warrant Shares. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the Placement Agent Warrant Shares.

 

Terms of the Inducement Warrants and the Private Warrants

 

The Inducement Warrants and the Private Warrants (collectively, the “August Warrants”) are exercisable commencing on the effective date of the Stockholder Approval Date and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date. We have agreed to hold a special meeting of stockholders at the earliest practicable date after the August Closing Date for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval (as defined below), if required to effect the purpose thereof, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and we shall solicit proxies from our stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. We agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval, and request that our officers and directors, cast their proxies in favor of such proposal. “Stockholder Approval” means such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or any successor entity) from the stockholders of the Company to consent to any exercise of the August Warrants and issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the August Warrants (the “August Warrant Shares”).

 

If at any time after the later of (i) the six-month anniversary of August 13, 2025, or (ii) the Stockholder Approval Date, a registration statement registering the issuance of the August Warrants Shares under the Securities Act is not effective or available, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the August Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the August Warrants.

 

The exercise price of the August Warrants, and the number of August Warrants Shares, is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the August Warrants.

 

A holder does not have the right to exercise any portion of the August Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such election.

 

In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the August Warrants), then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of its obligations under the August Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of Common Stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the August Warrants following such Fundamental Transaction. In addition, the successor entity, at the request of holders of the August Warrants, will be obligated to purchase any unexercised portion of the August Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the holders of the August Warrants have the right to require the Company or a successor entity to redeem the August Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the August Warrants) of the unexercised portion of the August Warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction. However, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction which is not in our control, including a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holders of the August Warrants will only be entitled to receive from the Company or its successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the August Warrants that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of our Common Stock are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the August Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holder of an August Warrant will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises such warrant.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock offered from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock that may be sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus; however, we will receive proceeds from the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock and/or cash exercise of the Common Warrants. We currently intend to use these net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include operating expenses, research and development, including clinical and pre-clinical testing of our product candidates, working capital, future acquisitions and general capital expenditures. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any of such purposes.

 

The expected use of net proceeds from the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and/or cash exercise of the Common Warrants represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We have no current agreements, commitments or understandings for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies that are definitive or probable to close.

 

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of shares of our Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration expenses, the Selling Stockholders will bear any underwriting discounts, commissions, placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of shares of our Common Stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Investors and the Inducement Warrant Holders upon exercise of the Common Warrants and those issuable to designees of WallachBeth upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants and the Inducement Advisor Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of the Common Warrants, see “The Private Placements” above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares of Common Stock for resale from time to time.

 

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and provides information regarding their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders, based on their ownership of the shares of Common Stock, the Common Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants acquired in offerings prior to the transactions described in the section entitled, “The Private Placements,” as of September 9, 2024, assuming exercise of the Common Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. The third column lists the maximum number of shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders, also without regard to any limitations on exercises.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Inducement Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Common Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Registration Right Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants. The fourth and fifth columns assume the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Common Warrants, the Selling Stockholders may not exercise the Common Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock that would exceed 4.99%, of our then-outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and third columns do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

(1) The Common Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which in each case restricts the Investor Selling Stockholders from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Investor Selling Stockholders and their affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The number of shares set forth in the above table does not reflect the application of this limitation.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

We are currently authorized to issue up to 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.007 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. As permitted by the Company’s Charter, the Company has designated (i) 5,400,000 shares of Preferred Stock as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), of which no shares are outstanding, and (ii) 990 shares of Preferred Stock as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,” par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), of which 990 shares are outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to the stockholders. Holders of our Common Stock have no cumulative voting rights.

 

Dividend Rights

 

The Board is not obligated to declare a dividend, has never declared or paid cash dividends on its Common Stock, and does not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock for the foreseeable future.

 

Rights upon Liquidation

 

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights and preferences that may apply to any shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, the assets or surplus funds legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the Common Stockholders based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities.

 

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

 

Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued. Our Common Stock is not subject to any redemption or sinking-fund provisions. All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted. In addition, for so long as 30% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Series A Preferred Stockholders, voting together as a single class, may exercise the Series A Director Designation Right, pursuant to which they are entitled to elect one director of the Company as the Series A Representative. Any Series A Representative elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may be removed from office only by the Series A Preferred Stockholders, and any vacancy of a Series A Representative may be filled only by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. If at any time fewer than 30% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, then the director position previously held by the Series A Representative will be elected by all of the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock acting together.

 

15

 

 

Dividend Rights

 

Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, in preference to any declaration or payment of a dividend to holders of the Common Stock, of 8% per share per annum when, as and if declared by the Board. Such dividends are not cumulative. See “Description of Securities-Dividend Policy” below.

 

Rights Upon Liquidation

 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or similar event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Common Stock, $7.70 per share (subsequent to the reverse-stock-split calculation). Unless otherwise decided by holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock outstanding, a liquidation includes a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company and a merger, unless such merger is solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation or a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity will be owned by persons who were stockholders of the Company prior to the merger. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock will not participate with the holders of Common Stock in the distribution of the remainder of the Company’s assets.

 

Conversion Rights

 

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into shares of Common Stock at any time. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are automatically converted into shares of Common Stock following the closing of an underwritten initial public offering of our Common Stock in which at least $10,000,000 in shares of Common Stock are sold at a price of $3.00 per share or more or such other date as agreed to by a holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of a more than a majority of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock executed a written consent such that all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the initial public offering at the then-effective conversion rate of the Series A Preferred Stock. The conversion rate of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock is initially 1 for 7 (as adjusted for the 1-for-7 reverse stock split) but is subject to further adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar event.

 

Following the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of our initial public offering, the Company does not intend to issue any further shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Furthermore, the Series A Director Designation Right ceased to exist because no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding. The director who served as the Series A Representative, Gary Rubin, stepped down from the Board is August 2025 for personal reasons. The number of Board seats for election by the holders of the Common Stock was expanded by one so that the director position that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were previously entitled to elect will be subject to election by the holders of the Common Stock following the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any voting rights.

 

Dividends Rights

 

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.

 

Conversion

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.23 per share (the “Conversion Price”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock that results from dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price.

 

16

 

 

Limitations on Conversion

 

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are prohibited from converting shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.

 

Compliance with Rules of Principal Market

 

The Company will be prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock if after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issued under this Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the execution date of the Purchase Agreement until such time as the Company obtains stockholder approval of such issuances (the “Preferred Stockholder Approval”).

 

Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock

 

If and whenever on or after the date on which the Company obtains the Preferred Stockholder Approval, the Company is deemed to have issued or sold any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will be reduced to such new issuance price subject to a floor price of $0.10.

 

Warrants

 

As of August 27, 2025, we have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 43,410,568 shares of Common Stock, with a weighted average exercise price equal to $0.96 per share, which includes Tradeable Warrants and Non-Tradeable Warrants that we issued in connection with our initial public offering to purchase an aggregate of 4,305,713 shares of Common Stock, all of which have an exercise price of $3.0625 per share.

 

Stock Options

 

As of August 27, 2025, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 271,987 shares of Common Stock, with a weighted average exercise price equal to $7.05 per share.

 

Exchange Listing

 

Our Common Stock and the Tradeable Warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “BIAF” and “BIAFW,” respectively.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and it is unlikely that investors will derive any current income from ownership of our stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of Our Charter and A&R Bylaws

 

Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and of our Charter and our A&R Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and, as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions are also designed in part to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board. These provisions might also have the effect of preventing changes in our Board or management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. However, we believe that the advantages gained by protecting our ability to negotiate with any unsolicited and potentially unfriendly acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including those priced above the then-current market value of our Common Stock, because, among other reasons, the negotiation of such proposals could improve their terms.

 

17

 

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

 

  before the stockholder became interested, the corporation’s 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 voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
     
  at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the corporation’s Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of our Company.

 

Provisions of Our Charter and A&R Bylaws

 

Our Charter and A&R Bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our Board rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions will include the items described below.

 

Director Vacancies

 

Our A&R Bylaws authorize the Board to fill vacant directorships and provide that the number of directors constituting our Board may be set by resolution of the incumbent directors.

 

Special Meetings of Stockholders

 

Our A&R Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called pursuant to a resolution approved by the Board. The only business that may be conducted at a special meeting of our stockholders is the matter or matters set forth in the notice of such special meeting.

 

Prohibition of Stockholder Action by Written Consent

 

Our Charter and A&R Bylaws prohibit stockholder action by written consent, thereby requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders.

 

18

 

 

Advance Notice Requirements

 

Our A&R Bylaws establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the Board of Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the Company secretary at our principal executive offices (i) not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (if such meeting is to be held on a day which is not more than 30 days in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting or not later than 60 days after the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting), or (ii) with respect to any other annual meeting of stockholders, including in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year, not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of: (1) the 90th day prior to the annual meeting and (2) the close of business on the tenth day following the first date that the date of such meeting was disclosed in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Services, The Associated Press, or a comparable national news service or in a document filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Our A&R Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Amendment to Charter and A&R Bylaws

 

As required by the DGCL, any amendment of our Charter must first be approved by a majority of our Board, and if required by law or our Charter, must thereafter be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class. Our A&R Bylaws provide for amendment of the A&R Bylaws by a majority of our Board or by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment.

 

Exclusive Forum

 

Both our Charter and our A&R Bylaws contain exclusive forum provisions that provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL, our Charter or A&R Bylaws (as either may be amended or restated) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. These provisions expressly do not apply to claims arising under the Exchange Act, or for any other federal securities laws which provide for exclusive federal jurisdiction. However, these exclusive forum provisions provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Therefore, this provision could apply to a suit that falls within one or more of the categories enumerated in the exclusive forum provision and that asserts claims under the Securities Act, inasmuch as Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such an exclusive forum provision with respect to claims under the Securities Act. Stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provisions in our Charter and A&R Bylaws. These exclusive forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees, or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees, and agents.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our Charter and our A&R Bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our Charter includes provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of these provisions is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director or officer for breach of fiduciary duties as a director or officer, subject to certain exceptions in which case the director or officer would be personally liable. An officer may not be exculpated for any action brought by or in the right of the corporation. A director may not be exculpated for improper distributions to stockholders. Further, pursuant to Delaware law a director or officer may not be exculpated for:

 

  any breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
     
  acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; and
     
  any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its securities covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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;
     
  settlement of short sales;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration 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, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

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

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities are “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 securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the Selling Stockholders do not own any Common Warrants or Common Warrants Shares as applicable.

 

Pursuant to applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale 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 the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders 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 (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Information that is incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and you should read it with the same care that you read this prospectus. Information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information that is either contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus, and will be considered to be a part of this prospectus from the date those documents are filed.

Item 14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

 

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the adjudicating court shall deem proper.

 

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

 

II-1

 

 

In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our Charter includes provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director, except to the extent such an exemption from liability thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, subject to certain exceptions in which case the director would be personally liable. If Delaware law is amended 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, as so amended. Our Charter does not eliminate the duty of care owed by our directors and officers and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect the responsibilities of directors and officers under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws.

 

Our Charter also provides that any amendment, repeal or modification of such article unless otherwise required by law will not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or amendment of a director serving at the time of such repeal or modification.

 

Our Charter and A&R Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors, officers, employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same may be amended (except that in the case of an amendment, only to the extent that the amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than the DGCL permitted us to provide prior to such the amendment) against any and all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by the director, officer or such employee or on the director’s, officer’s or employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party because he or she is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of our Company, or at our request as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Charter and A&R Bylaws further provide for the advancement of expenses.

 

In addition, the A&R Bylaws provide that the right to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the Charter or A&R Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. Furthermore, our A&R Bylaws authorize us to provide insurance for our directors, officers, employees and agents against any liability, whether we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the A&R Bylaws.

 

We also maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

  (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the 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 Securities and Exchange 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; and
     
  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

 

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement;

 

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
   
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
   
(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:

 

II-10

 

 

  (i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and
     
  (ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(l)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such 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, as amended, 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;

 

(6) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, as amended) 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;

 

(7) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
