PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is only a summary. We urge you to read the entire prospectus, including the more detailed consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information included herein or incorporated by reference from our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Investing in our securities involves risks. Therefore, please carefully consider the information provided in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4.

Company Overview

Business Overview

The Company is an emerging growth diagnostics company developing and marketing novel non-invasive gene expression tests to aid in the diagnosis of various skin conditions, including skin cancer, inflammatory diseases, and aging-related conditions. The Company’s technology provides a highly accurate alternative to surgical biopsy, eliminating patient pain, scarring, and risk of infection, while maximizing convenience. The Company’s scalable gene expression assays have been designed to work with a proprietary “adhesive patch biopsy” that provides a tissue sample for analysis non-invasively.

The Company is initially commercializing tests that will address unmet needs in the diagnostic pathway of pigmented skin lesions, such as moles or dark colored skin spots. The Company’s current products facilitate the clinical assessment of pigmented skin lesions for melanoma. The Company has initially marketed this test directly to a concentrated group of dermatologists and plans to eventually market the test to primary care physicians and through telemedicine channels. The Company also provides Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) certified laboratory services to large pharmaceutical companies on a contract basis for their use in their clinical trials for new drugs. The Company has a history of net losses since its inception.

Business Combination, Reverse Split and Domestication

On August 29, 2019, the Company and DermTech Operations, Inc., formerly known as DermTech, Inc., or DermTech Operations, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 29, 2019, by and among the Company, DT Merger Sub, Inc., or Merger Sub, and DermTech Operations. We refer to this agreement, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 1, 2019, as the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into DermTech Operations, with DermTech Operations surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We refer to this transaction as the Business Combination. In connection with and two days prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the Company domesticated from the British Virgin Islands to Delaware, and changed its name from Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. to DermTech, Inc. On August 29, 2019, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, the Company effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of the Common Stock of the Company, or the Reverse Stock Split. Additional disclosures regarding the Business Combination and related transactions are located in Item 2.01 of the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 5, 2019, or the Super 8-K, under the heading “Business Combination, Reverse Split, and Domestication,” which are incorporated in this prospectus by reference.

The share numbers and exercise prices discussed in this prospectus reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split and, as applicable, the exchange ratio in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

PIPE Financing and Registration Rights Agreement

On August 29, 2019, immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination and pursuant to the PIPE Financing, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,076,925 shares of Common Stock and 1,230.77 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of up to 615,385 shares of

We refer to these agreements collectively as the Subscription Agreements.

In connection with, and as a condition to the completion of the Business Combination, the Company and certain persons and entities holding shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, or the Registration Rights Parties, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale by the Registration Rights Parties of Common Stock issued in connection with (i) the PIPE Financing and (ii) the Business Combination. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Investors with demand, “piggy-back” and Form S-3 registration rights, subject to certain minimum requirements and customary conditions.

Additional disclosures regarding the PIPE Financing are located in Item 2.01 of the Company’s Super 8-K under the heading “PIPE Financing,” which are incorporated in this prospectus by reference.

Warrants

The Common Stock underlying the outstanding Warrants consist of 140,315 shares underlying 561,250 Warrants to purchase Company Common Stock that were sold as part of private units in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The Warrants are subject to a Warrant Agreement, or the Warrant Agreement, dated June 19, 2017, between the Company and the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file a registration statement to register the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

“Beneficial ownership” is a term broadly defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and includes more than the typical form of stock ownership, that is, stock held in a person’s name.

The calculation of the percentage ownership for each securityholder assumes (i) the conversion into Common Stock of any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by the securityholder, (ii) the exercise of the Warrants held by the securityholder and (iii) the conversion or exercise of any other derivative securities held by the securityholder, but does not assume the conversion of any convertible securities or exercise of Warrants or other derivative securities by any other securityholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the 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;

 

   

short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

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

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

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

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

The selling securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.

The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any selling securityholder who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

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

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the Common Stock may not be sold unless (i) it has been registered or qualified for sale or (ii) an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The selling securityholders have been advised that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with such registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144.

The Company’s board of directors is authorized, without action by the Company stockholders, to designate and issue shares of the Company preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including with respect to conversion rights.

The Existing Charter and the Company’s bylaws provide that the Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes serving three-year terms, with one class being elected each year.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares or Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell such securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of the Company’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) the Company is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as the Company was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned Company restricted shares or Warrants for at least six months but who are the Company’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 

   

1% of the total number of shares then outstanding; or

 

20


Table of Contents
   

the average weekly reported trading volume of the shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by the Company’s affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

 

   

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company that has ceased to be a shell company;

 

   

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

   

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

   

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

The filing of the Super 8-K was intended to satisfy the filing of the “Form 10 Information” and commence the one year holding period of Rule 144(i).

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with, and as a condition to the completion of the Business Combination, certain of the selling securityholders entered into a Lock-up Agreement, or the Lock-up Agreement, pursuant to which the securityholders agreed that, during the period commencing on the completion of the Business Combination and continuing to and including the date 180 days after the date of the completion of the Business Combination, the securityholders would not sell, offer to sell, pledge, or transfer any Company securities, subject to certain limited exceptions.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LAW VIOLATIONS

The Company’s Existing Charter provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers, provided that they have acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. This indemnity shall not extend to a suit by or in the right of the Company in which any director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and to the extent that the court making such adjudication determines that the director or officer in question is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses that the court deems proper. The Company shall not indemnify any director or officer in respect of a proceeding initiated by such director or officer unless such proceeding was authorized by the Company’s board of directors.

Any indemnification of its directors or officers by the Company is conditioned on the director or officer in question notifying the Company in writing as soon as possible of any proceeding for which indemnity will or could be sought, unless the Company has confirmed to the director or officer that it is aware of such proceeding. The Company may elect to participate in or assume the defense of any such proceeding at its own expense. The Company shall not be required to indemnify its directors or officers for any amounts paid in settlement without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any indemnified director or officer will have the right to advancement of expenses upon the Company’s receipt of written notice therefor and an undertaking by or on behalf of any such director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be judicially determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

The Company shall not indemnify any director or officer to the extent such director or officer is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance. In the event the Company makes any indemnification payments and the director or officer in question is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such director or officer shall promptly refund the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

You should rely only on the information provided or incorporated by reference in this registration statement or any related prospectus. We have not, and the selling securityholders have not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. You should not assume that the information in this registration statement or any related prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the document.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company’s Existing Charter provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers, provided that they have acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

This indemnity shall not extend to a suit by or in the right of the Company in which any director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and to the extent that the court making such adjudication determines that the director or officer in question is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses that the court deems proper.

The Company shall not indemnify any director or officer in respect of a proceeding initiated by such director or officer unless such proceeding was authorized by the Company’s board of directors.

Any indemnification of its directors or officers by the Company is conditioned on the director or officer in question notifying the Company in writing as soon as possible of any proceeding for which indemnity will or could be sought, unless the Company has confirmed to the director or officer that it is aware of such proceeding. The Company may elect to participate in or assume the defense of any such proceeding at its own expense. The Company shall not be required to indemnify for any amounts paid in settlement without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Any indemnified director or officer will have the right to advancement of expenses upon the Company’s receipt of written notice therefor and an undertaking by or on behalf of any such director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be judicially determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

The Company shall not indemnify any director or officer to the extent such director or officer is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance. In the event the Company makes any indemnification payments and the director or officer in question is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such director or officer shall promptly refund the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

Item 17.

Undertakings

 

  (a)

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;

 

  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC 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 the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section 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 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2)

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

 

  (3)

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

 

  (4)

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

 

  (i)

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

  (ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date

 

  (5)

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

 

  (a)

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i)

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

 

  (ii)

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

 

  (iii)

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

 

  (iv)

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

 

  (b)

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