RISK FACTORS. Investing An investment in our securities involves risksa high degree of risk. Before purchasing In addition to the securities offered risk factors set forth below, you should carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement you should consider carefully the in their entirety. These risk factors described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, as well as the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth in our may be amended or supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K that we file with the SEC after in the date future. If any of this prospectus supplement the events or developments described therein actually occurs, our business, financial condition and which are deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplementresults of operations may suffer. For a description In that case, the value of these reports and documentsour securities may decline, and information about where you can find themcould lose all or part of your investment. Our business requires a significant amount of financing and our business may be adversely affected if its sources of liquidity are unavailable or insufficient to fund our operations, see “Incorporation or if such sources will not be available. Our working capital requirements and cash flows are subject to quarterly and yearly fluctuations, depending on a number of Certain Information By Reference” factors. If we are unable to manage fluctuations in cash flow, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Factors which could lead us to suffer cash flow fluctuations include: — the level of revenue derived from sales of wafers we manufacture, engineering services, design-related services and other sources of revenue; — the collection of receivables; — the timing and size of capital expenditures; and — the servicing of financing obligations and other short-term and long-term liabilities. In addition, current uncertainty arising from the global economic downturn, including the recent disruption in financial and credit markets, and prevailing market conditions in the semiconductor industry, including global decreased demand, downward price pressure, excess inventory and unutilized capacity pose a risk to the overall economy that could severely impact consumer and customer demand for our and our customers’ products, as well as commercial relationships with our customers, suppliers, and creditors, including our lenders. If the current situation continues or worsens significantly, our business could be negatively impacted. In order to finance our business, we expect to use available cash and existing credit facilities as well as exploring measures to obtain funds from other sources of financing, including advances under the SEPA, potential opportunities for sale and lease-back of a portion of Tower’s real estate assets, sale of other fixed assets and/or intellectual property, licensing, receipt of all or part of the $45 million pending and over-due grants from the Israeli Investment Center if it approves Tower’s expansion plan, and other alternatives for fund raising. We are also working to mitigate the potential effects of the global economic downturn through several measures, including the execution of the previously announced cost reduction plan for a total saving amount of approximately $80 million on an annual run-rate. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the financing sources detailed above and/or from such cost reduction measures in a timely manner to allow us to fully mitigate the effect of the existing economic downturn and any potential further deterioration in market conditions and maintain our ongoing operations and/or repay our short-term and long-term debt and other liabilities. In addition, if we were to incur higher levels of debt, this prospectus supplementwould require a larger proportion of our cash flow to be used to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness. The risks increased use of cash to pay indebtedness could leave us with insufficient funds to finance our operating activities and uncertainties we discuss in this prospectus supplementcapital expenditures, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks not presently known, or currently deemed immaterial, also which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospectson-going operations. Due Investors may experience significant dilution as a result of the sale of shares under the SEPA or the issuance of ordinary shares under outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable for our ordinary shares. The sale of our ordinary shares pursuant to factors beyond the SEPA will result in dilution of the percentage of our control, our stock ordinary shares held by current and future shareholders. If we were to sell all $25 million of the ordinary shares which we may offer for sale under the SEPA at a price may be volatileequal to $0.99, which could result was the last reported sale price for our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Market on August 7, 2009, we would issue approximately 25,252,525 additional ordinary shares under the SEPA, in substantial losses for investors holding our sharesaddition to the 160,063,636 shares currently outstanding. Any Because the sales pursuant to the SEPA will be made based on prevailing market prices at the time advances are made, the prices at which we sell these shares and the number of the following factors could affect shares we will issue will vary, perhaps significantly, with the market price of our common stock: · ordinary shares. In addition we may issue additional ordinary shares upon the conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible notes, capital notes, warrants, options and other rights to acquire our ordinary shares. See “Capitalization” for a summary of the ordinary shares issuable under such securities. Our failure ability to solve raise funds under the SEPA will depend on several factors, including the trading volume for our liquidity risks; · Our failure ordinary shares.

Our ability to sell additional shares to YA Global and raise funds under the SEPA will depend on YA Global’s ability to sell shares previously purchased under the SEPA in a timely manner. This will depend, among other factors, on the trading volume for our shares on the NASDAQ and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange and prevailing conditions in the capital markets generally. There is no assurance as to the extent to which we consummate will be able to utilize the SEPA to fund our operations. Sales of shares to YA Global pursuant to the SEPA and the resale of such shares by YA Global may result in declines in the future; · Disclosure of the results price of our monthly payment plan stock. The ordinary shares purchased by YA Global under the SEPA are freely tradable and collections; · A decline YA Global may promptly sell the shares we issue to them under the SEPA in the economy which impacts our ability to collect our accounts receivable; · Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contractspublic markets.

In additionwhich commenced during 2008, we have experienced a significant number decrease in the trading price of options and warrants our ordinary shares. NASDAQ implemented a temporary suspension of the minimum $1.00 closing bid requirement price. The temporary suspension expired on July 31, 2009. We need to purchase shares or our common stock outstandingcomply with the $1.00 minimum bid closing price requirement for a period of ten consecutive trading days by October 29, 2009. If these securities are exercisedwe do not comply by such date, you we may incur further dilution.

RISK FACTORS. Investing in our securities involves risks. Before purchasing the any securities offered by this prospectus supplement supplement, you should carefully consider carefully the risk factors described in incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplementsupplement from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, the accompanying prospectus2017, as well as the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth in our SEC reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K that we file with and in the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement and which are deemed other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, and any risks described in this any accompanying prospectus supplement. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference of Certain Information By ReferenceFiled with the SEC.in this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties we discuss in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks not presently known, known or that are currently deemed immaterial, immaterial could also could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects. Due to factors beyond The market price and trading volume of our control, our common stock price may be volatilevolatile following the offer and sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement. The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the public offering price. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include: • actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or distributions; • changes in our earnings estimates or publication of research reports by securities analysts; • increased difficulty in maintaining or obtaining financing on attractive terms, or at all; • changes in interest rates; • changes in market valuations of similar companies; • changes in the regulatory environment in which our business operates; • additions or departures of key management personnel; • actions by institutional stockholders; • speculation in the press or investment community; and • general market and economic conditions. Future offerings of debt securities, which could result would rank senior to our common stock upon our liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities, which would dilute our existing stockholders and investors in substantial losses this offering and may be senior to our common stock for investors holding our shares. Any the purposes of the following factors could dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock: · Our failure to solve our liquidity risks; · Our failure to resolve our Arizona regulatory issues; · A decline in our growth rate including new student enrollments and class starts; · Our failure to generate increasing material revenues; · Our failure to meet our forecasts relating to our future operating performance; · Our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations; · Changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; · Our public disclosure of the terms of any financing which we consummate in the future; · Disclosure of the results of our monthly payment plan and collections; · A decline in the economy which impacts our ability to collect our accounts receivable; · Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new services, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; · The loss of Title IV funding or other regulatory actions; · The sale of large numbers of shares of common stock by our officers, directors or other shareholders; · Short selling activities; · Any future non-compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market rules or actions taken by the company in response; or · Changes in market valuations of similar companies. In the pastfuture, following periods we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of volatility debt or additional offerings of equity securities, including commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred stock or common stock. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders and investors in this offering or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. In addition, we could sell securities at a company’s securitiesprice less than our then-current net asset value per share. Our Series A preferred stock has, and any future preferred stock issuances could have, a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments that could limit our ability to make a dividend distribution to the holders of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities class action litigation has often been institutedin any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our common stock bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their stock holdings in us. We have not established a minimum distribution payment level, and we cannot assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future. We expect to make monthly distributions to our stockholders in amounts such that we distribute all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income in each year, subject to certain adjustments. We have not established a minimum distribution payment level, and our ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. All distributions will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our REIT status and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time. We may not be able to make distributions in the future. In addition, some of our distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent that we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated tax earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s basis in its investment. An increase in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell shares of our common stock is our distribution rate as a percentage of our share price relative to market interest rates. If the market price of our common stock is based primarily on the earnings and return that we derive from our investments and income with respect to our investments and our related distributions to stockholders, and not from the market value of the investments themselves, then interest rate fluctuations and capital market conditions will likely affect the market price of our common stock. For instance, if market rates rise without an increase in our distribution rate, the market price of our common stock could decrease as potential investors may require a higher distribution yield on our common stock or seek other securities class action suit against us could paying higher distributions or interest. In addition, rising interest rates would result in substantial costs increased interest expense on our variable rate debt, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and divert our management’s time ability to service our indebtedness and attentionpay distributions. Investing in our common stock may involve an above average degree of risk. The investments we make in accordance with our investment strategy may result in a higher amount of risk, volatility or loss of principal than alternative investment options. Our investments may be highly speculative and aggressive, and therefore, an investment in our common stock may not be suitable for someone with lower risk tolerance. Our management team has broad discretion in the use of the proceeds of this offering and we may invest or spend such proceeds in ways with which would otherwise be used to benefit our businessyou may not agree or in ways that may not yield a significant return. Management Our management will have broad discretion as to over the use of the proceeds from this offering. The net proceeds from this offering will be used to fund new acquisitions, and we may not use the proceeds effectivelyto repay indebtedness or for other general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad considerable discretion with respect to the use of proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of such net proceeds, and you will not have the proceeds opportunity, as part of this offering.

Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline. You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase. Since the public offering price for our common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings.

The number of shares that are sold through the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales, if any. The common stock offered hereby will be sold in“at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following: ● disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak, or similar pandemics, that could severely impact our business, clinical trials and preclinical studies; ● whether the results of our clinical trials of CB4211 will be predictive of the final results of the trial or results of early clinical studies, and whether such results will be indicative of the results of future studies; ● our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals to develop and market our product candidates; ● our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms; ● our ability to execute our research and development plan on time and on budget; ● our ability to obtain commercial partners; ● our ability, whether alone or with commercial partners, to successfully develop and commercialize a product candidate; ● our ability to identify and develop additional drug candidates; and ● other risk factors included under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur.

Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business. This Offering Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively. Our We currently intend to use the net proceeds received by us in this offering to fund contributions to our joint venture with Mayo, expansion of our sales and marketing capabilities, further research and development activities, expansion of business, strategic transactions and working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, our management will have broad discretion with respect as to the use of proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of from this offeringoffering and could use them for purposes other than those currently contemplated. The results and effectiveness of Our management may use the use of net proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways for corporate purposes that you do not agree with or that do may not improve our results financial condition or market value. The vast majority of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline. You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase. Since the public offering price for our common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” in shares offered under this prospectus supplement. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. In addition, we have a significant number of options and warrants to purchase shares or our common stock outstanding. If these securities are exercised, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution. It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Distribution Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales. Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, supplement and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that accompanying prospectus will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales"at-the- market" offerings, if any. The common stock offered hereby will be sold in“at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices. Investors who purchase shares in under this offering prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus at different times will likely pay different prices, and so they may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. In additionsold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offeringprice. Investors may experience a decline declines in the value of the their shares they purchase in this offering as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid. You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors. Since the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on an assumed offering price of $12.30 per share (which was the last reported sale price of a share of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market on July 14, 2015), if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $8.27 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. See the section titled "Dilution" in this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering. In addition, we have a significant number of stock options and restricted stock outstanding. If the holders of these securities exercise them or become vested in them, as applicable, you may incur further dilution. Furthermore, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock, our then-existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our common stock offered in this offering. Resales of our common stock in the public market following the offering may cause its market price to fall. We will issue common stock from time to time in connection with this offering. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our common stock, or our ability to issue these shares of common stock in this offering, could result in resales of our common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, the market price of our common stock could fall. There has been a limited trading market for our common stock. We only relatively recently received approval to list our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Prior to August 2013, our common stock had been quoted on the OTCQB, and prior to our initial public offering in April 2013, there was no trading activity in our common stock. Although the NASDAQ listing improved the liquidity of our common stock, such listing has been of limited duration and no assurance can be given that recent levels of trading activity will continue. A lack of an active market may impair the ability of our stockholders to sell shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of our shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our common stock as consideration. The price of our common stock may be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may decrease. Our stock price per share may vary from time to time. Even if an active market for our stock continues, our stock price nevertheless may be volatile. Market prices for securities of early-stage life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. The factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include, but are not limited to: • progress, or lack of progress, in developing and commercializing our proprietary tests; • favorable or unfavorable decisions about our tests or services from government regulators, insurance companies or other third-party payors; • our ability to recruit and retain qualified regulatory and research and development personnel; • changes in investors' and securities analysts' perception of the business risks and conditions of our business; • changes in our relationship with key collaborators; • changes in the market valuation or earnings of our competitors or companies viewed as similar to us; • changes in key personnel; • depth of the trading market in our common stock; • changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; • the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards; • realization of any of the risks described under this section titled "Risk Factors"; and • general market and economic conditions. In addition, the equity markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the securities of newly public companies for a number of reasons, including reasons that may be unrelated to our business or operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may result in a material decline in the market price of our common stock and you may not be able to sell your shares at prices you deem acceptable. In the past, following periods of volatility in the equity markets, securities class action lawsuits have been instituted against public companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial cost and the diversion of management attention. Our stockholders may be diluted by exercises of outstanding options and warrants. As of March 31, 2015, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,888,375 shares of our common stock at a weighted- average exercise price of $10.50 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,136,078 shares of our common stock at a weighted- average exercise price of $13.47 per share (of which warrants to purchase 75,000 shares have anti-dilution protection that will reduce the exercise price thereof to our lowest sales price if we sell any stock in this offering at a price of less than $10 per share). The exercise of such outstanding options and warrants will result in dilution of the value of our shares. Reports published by securities or industry analysts, including projections in those reports that exceed our actual results, could adversely affect our common stock price and trading volume. Securities research analysts establish and publish their own periodic projections for our business. These projections may vary widely from one another and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our stock price may decline if our actual results do not match securities research analysts' projections. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who writes reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our stock price or trading volume could decline. While we expect securities research analyst coverage, if no securities or industry analysts begin to cover us, the trading price for our stock and the trading volume could be adversely affected. Our directors and executive officers have substantial influence over us and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control. Our directors and executive officers, together with their affiliates, in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 31.6% of our outstanding common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding on June 30, 2015. Assuming for illustrative purposes that 1,626,016 shares of our common stock are sold in this offering at a price of $12.30 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market on July 14, 2015, after giving effect to this offering, our directors and executive officers, together with their affiliates, would, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 27.7% of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, acting together, have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, have significant influence over our management and affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might harm the market price of our common stock by: • delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control; • impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us; or • discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

For a description of these reports and documents, and You should also carefully consider the other information about where you can find them, see “Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference” in this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties we discuss included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus. Each of the risks described in the these documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks not presently known, or currently deemed immaterial, also could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operationsoperations and prospects, business and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business We may be unable to complete the pending sale of our Chelsea, Massachusetts facility, and if we do complete this transaction we will rely on a sole third party for the commercial manufacture of Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder). On January 13, 2021, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Inbrija manufacturing facility in Chelsea, Massachusetts to Catalent Pharma Solutions LLC, or Catalent. We may be unable to close the transaction or conclude an agreement on acceptable terms. Failure to complete the transaction may require us to incur significant additional costs to support unused capacity at the facility. In addition, in connection with the sale, we entered into a long-term global supply agreement under which Catalent will manufacture and package Inbrija on an exclusive basis (other than for sale in China). If we close the transaction, we will be reliant on Catalent to supply all of our commercial and clinical supply of Inbrija and, subject to the negotiation of an amendment or new supply agreement, other ARCUS inhaled therapeutic product candidates. Although Catalent has significant experience in commercial manufacturing, given applicable regulatory requirements and the complexity of the manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, Catalent may be unable or otherwise not successful in passing any required regulatory inspection prior to manufacturing, carrying out its contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or effectively manufacture or release Inbrija in a timely manner in accordance with current good manufacturing practices and other regulatory requirements. If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of Inbrija under our supply agreement with Catalent, or if the supplies we receive do not meet quality and safety standards, we could face supply shortages, significant additional costs, product liability claims and reputational harm. In addition, we may be unable to offset our payment commitments under the supply agreement if we are forced to obtain Inbrija from another supplier, which we may be unable to identify. Any of these factors, alone or in combination, could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Due Risks Related to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors holding our shares. Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock: · Our failure to solve our liquidity risks; · Our failure to resolve our Arizona regulatory issues; · A decline in our growth rate including new student enrollments and class starts; · Our failure to generate increasing material revenues; · Our failure to meet our forecasts relating to our future operating performance; · Our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations; · Changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; · Our public disclosure of the terms of any financing which we consummate in the future; · Disclosure of the results of our monthly payment plan and collections; · A decline in the economy which impacts our ability to collect our accounts receivable; · Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new services, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; · The loss of Title IV funding or other regulatory actions; · The sale of large numbers of shares of common stock by our officers, directors or other shareholders; · Short selling activities; · Any future non-compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market rules or actions taken by the company in response; or · Changes in market valuations of similar companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business. Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively. Our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The results and effectiveness of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline. Offering You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices; however, the assumed offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 3,596,698 shares of our common stock are sold at an assumed offering price of $4.24 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on January 12, 2021, for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,250,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, new investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $8.28 per share, representing the difference between the assumed offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase. Since the public offering price for our common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this prospectus supplement. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offeringsoffering. In addition, we have a significant number of options and warrants to purchase shares or our common restricted stock units outstanding. If the holders of these securities are exercisedexercise them or become vested in them, as applicable, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution. It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Distribution Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales. Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales, if any. The common stock offered hereby will be sold in“at in “at the market market” offerings,” , and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices. Investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices. As a result, and so they investors may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, prices and numbers of shares sold in this offering. In addition, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offeringsold. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the their shares they purchase in this offering as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid. The actual number of shares of common stock we will issue under the sales agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain. Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the sales agent after we deliver a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the sales agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued. Management will have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not increase the value of your investment. Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. You may not agree with our decisions, and our use of the proceeds may not yield any return on your investment. Our failure to apply the net proceeds from the sale of our shares in this offering could effectively have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development of our products, compromise our ability to pursue our business strategy, and cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on our investment of these net proceeds. In addition, the net proceeds from the sale of our shares in this offering may not be sufficient for our anticipated uses, and we may need additional resources to progress our product candidates to the stage we expect. Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause our stock price to decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. It is possible that we could issue and sell additional shares of our common stock in the public markets. Furthermore, if our existing stockholders sell a large number of shares of our common stock, or the public market perceives that existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market by our executive officers, directors, 5% or greater stockholders or other stockholders, or the prospect of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our common stock. As of January 7, 2021, 9,483,236 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, including 23,458 shares subject to unvested restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, and an additional 1,331,125 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2006 Employee Incentive Plan and upon the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units outstanding under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. Additional shares of common stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to options and other stock-based awards under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and under the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and additional stock-based awards could be issued under the 2016 Inducement Plan. To the extent that option holders exercise outstanding options, there may be further dilution and the sales of shares issued upon such exercises could cause our stock price to drop further. In addition, we may elect to settle future interest payments on, and/or all or a portion of our conversion or make-whole payment obligations under, our 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 in shares of common stock, which could lead our stockholders to experience significant dilution. We cannot predict the effect that our reverse stock split will have on the market price for shares of our common stock. On December 31, 2020, we completed a one-for-six reverse stock split of our shares of common stock and proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 370,000,000 to 61,666,666. The reverse stock split was effected in accordance with the authorization adopted by our stockholders at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders convened on July 31, 2020 and was announced on December 21, 2020. Our Board of Directors determined to effect the reverse stock split because it is a potentially effective means to increase the per share market price of our common stock and thus enable us to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing of our common stock on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, and there are a number of risks and potential disadvantages associated with a reverse stock split. We cannot predict the effect of the reverse stock split upon the market price for shares of our common stock, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances has varied. Some investors may have a negative view of a reverse stock split. Even if the reverse stock split has a positive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock, performance of our business and financial results, general economic conditions and the market perception of our business, and other adverse factors which may not be in our control could lead to a decrease in the price of our common stock following the reverse stock split. Even if the reverse stock split does result in an increased market price per share of our common stock, the market price per share following the reverse stock split may not increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the implementation of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, even with an increased market price per share, the total market capitalization of shares of our common stock after the reverse stock split could be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split. Also, even if there is an initial increase in the market price per share of our common stock after the reverse stock split, the market price many not remain at that level. If the market price of shares of our common stock declines following the reverse stock split, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split due to decreased liquidity in the market for our common stock. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock following the reverse stock split could be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split.

RISK FACTORS. Investing In addition to the other information included herein, including the matters addressed in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment in our securities involves riskssecurities. Before purchasing the securities offered by this prospectus supplement you should consider carefully the risk factors described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, as well as the risks, uncertainties and additional information set forth in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K that we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement and which are deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference” in this prospectus supplement. The Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are not currently believed to be important also may adversely affect our business following the Transactions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we discuss in refer to “we,” “us” and “our” for purposes of this prospectus supplementsection, we are referring to Ducommun and its subsidiaries including XxXxxxx and its subsidiaries following consummation of the XxXxxxx Acquisition. Risks Related to the Notes Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, limit our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes. After the notes offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, we will have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of April 2, 2011, on a pro forma basis, we would have had total indebtedness of $393.3 million, including the notes and the principal amount of our New Term Loan Facility, plus, to the extent necessary, limited borrowings, but no greater than $10.0 million, under the New Revolving Credit Facility with the remaining portion of such $60.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility available to be borrowed. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including, but not limited to, the accompanying prospectus agreement of lenders to provide such facilities or commitments, we will also have the option to add one or more incremental term loan facilities or increase commitments under our New Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $75.0 million. The Existing Ducommun Credit Facility and in the documents incorporated by reference herein Existing XxXxxxx Credit Facility will be repaid and therein are those terminated at closing. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as: • refinancing or restructuring our debt; • selling assets; • reducing or delaying scheduled expansions and capital investments; or • seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that we currently believe would be able to enter into these alternative financing plans on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Moreover, any alternative financing plans that we may materially affect be required to undertake would still not guarantee that we would be able to meet our companydebt obligations. Additional risks not presently knownOur inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including our obligations under the notes, or currently deemed immaterialto obtain alternative financing, also could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. Our high level of debt could have important consequences to us and to the holders of the notes, including: • making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes and our other debt; • the occurrence of an event of default if we fail to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes or our other indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in the indenture governing the notes or agreements governing other indebtedness, which event of default could result in acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding under the indenture and in a default with respect to, and an acceleration of, our other indebtedness and could permit our lenders to foreclose on any of our assets securing such debt; • limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions or other general corporate requirements; • requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions or other general corporate purposes; • increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions; • exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our New Credit Facilities, bear interest at variable rates, which could further adversely impact our cash flows; • limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; • restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures; • impairing our ability to obtain additional financing in the future; • preventing us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase all notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of certain changes of control, which failure to repurchase would constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the notes; • placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and • increasing our cost of borrowing. The occurrence of any one of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operationsoperations and ability to satisfy our obligations in respect of our outstanding debt. Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which could increase the risks associated with the notes. We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which may be secured. While the indenture governing the notes and our New Credit Facilities will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and, thus, notwithstanding these restrictions, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. See “Description of Other Indebtedness.” To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, the risks that we now face related to our substantial indebtedness, including an inability to fulfill our obligations under the notes, could increase. We will need to repay or refinance borrowings under our New Credit Facilities prior to maturity of the notes. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon us. We expect that our New Term Loan Facility and our New Revolving Credit Facility will mature in June 2017 and June 2016, respectively. As of April 2, 2011, on a pro forma basis, we would have had $190.0 million of term loan borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility and, to the extent necessary, limited borrowings, but no greater than $10.0 million, under the New Revolving Credit Facility to finance the XxXxxxx Acquisition and fees and expenses related to the Transactions, with the remaining portion of such $60.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility available to be borrowed after the consummation of the Merger. Consequently, prior to the maturity of the notes, we will need to repay, refinance, replace or otherwise extend the maturity of our New Credit Facilities. Our ability to repay, refinance, replace or otherwise extend will be dependent on, among other things, business conditions, our financial performance and prospectsthe general condition of the financial markets. Due If a financial disruption were to occur at the time that we are required to repay indebtedness outstanding under our New Credit Facilities, we could be forced to undertake alternate financings, negotiate for an extension of the maturity of our New Credit Facilities or sell assets and delay capital expenditures in order to generate proceeds that could be used to repay indebtedness under our New Credit Facilities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate any such transaction on terms that are commercially reasonable, on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our failure to repay, refinance, replace or otherwise extend the maturity of our New Credit Facilities could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the notes and our New Credit Facilities, which could lead to an acceleration or repayment of substantially all of our outstanding debt. We require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash depends upon many factors beyond our control. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, including the notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital increases, will depend upon our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors holding our shares. Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock: · Our failure to solve our liquidity risks; · Our failure to resolve our Arizona regulatory issues; · A decline in our growth rate including new student enrollments and class starts; · Our failure ability to generate increasing material revenues; · Our failure to meet our forecasts relating to our future operating performance; · Our failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations; · Changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; · Our public disclosure of the terms of any financing which we consummate cash in the future; · Disclosure . If the Transactions are consummated, our debt service requirements will increase substantially due to the higher principal amount of the results of our monthly payment plan and collections; · A decline in the economy which impacts our debt that will be outstanding. Our ability to collect generate cash is subject to economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that may be beyond our accounts receivable; · Announcements by control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in an amount sufficient to enable us or to pay our competitors of significant contracts, new services, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; · The loss of Title IV funding or other regulatory actions; · The sale of large numbers of shares of common stock by our officers, directors or other shareholders; · Short selling activities; · Any future non-compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market rules or actions taken by the company in response; or · Changes in market valuations of similar companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business. Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively. Our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of proceeds of this offeringdebt, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of notes, or to fund our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offeringother liquidity needs. The results and effectiveness of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure Any inability to apply these funds effectively generate sufficient cash flow could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price financial condition or results of our common stock to decline. You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase. Since the public offering price for our common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. In addition, we have a significant number of options and warrants to purchase shares or our common stock outstanding. If these securities are exercised, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution. It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Distribution Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales. Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales, if any. The common stock offered hereby will be sold in“at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, you will experience additional dilution. See the section entitled “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement. The issuance Shares of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. In addition, we have a significant number of options and warrants to purchase shares or our common stock outstanding. If these securities are exercised, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution. Our Series B Preferred Stock It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Distribution Sales Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales. Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent X. Xxxxx Securities at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the sales agent X. Xxxxx Securities after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock our Series B Preferred Stock during the sales period, the any limits we may set with the sales agent X. Xxxxx Securities in any applicable placement notice, notice and the demand for our common stock during the sales periodSeries B Preferred Stock. Because the price per share of each share sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will fluctuate during the sales periodover time, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross aggregate proceeds to be raised in connection with those salessales under the Sales Agreement. In addition, if anythe number of shares that may be sold under the Sales Agreement is limited by the number of authorized and unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As of February 10, 2022, we had 490,000 authorized and unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are available for issuance under the Sales Agreement, and assuming we sell all of such authorized shares at a price of $26.05 per share, the closing sales price of Series B Preferred Stock as of February 10, 2022, the total gross proceeds will be approximately $12.76 million. If we intend to sell additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock under the Sales Agreement in excess of such authorized shares, then we must amend the certificate of designations of our Series B Preferred Stock to increase the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Although we intend to increase the number of authorized shares of our Series B Preferred Stock upon the redemption of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, there is no assurance that such redemption will be completed timely, or at all, to permit us to increase the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and failure to do so may limit our ability to sell up to the maximum amount of $35 million under the Sales Agreement. The common stock Series B Preferred Stock offered hereby will be sold in“at in “at the market offerings,” and 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 they may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. In addition, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid. Our ability to raise additional capital, including selling shares of Series B Preferred Stock under the Sales Agreement, may be limited if we are unable to maintain a market capitalization in excess of $75 million. This prospectus supplement is not currently subject to the restrictions set forth in General Instruction I.B.6. to Form S-3, which limits primary public offerings with a value exceeding more than one-third (1/3) of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates (i.e., the public float), which is commonly referred to as the “baby shelf limitation”. However, if our public float is below $75 million at the time we file our next Annual Report on Form 10-K, we will be subject to the baby shelf limitation. While this current prospectus supplement is not subject to the baby shelf limitation, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain a market capitalization above $75 million pursuant to the requirements of General Instruction I.B.6. to Form S-3 as the price of our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations. If we are not able to maintain such market capitalization threshold, our ability to raise additional capital in the public markets in the future, including our ability to sell shares of Series B Preferred Stock under the Sales Agreement, may be limited, which could have an adverse effect onour business operations and financial conditions. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series B Preferred Stock only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of our assets will rank junior to the prior claims of our current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. Also, the Series B Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Series B Preferred Stock. If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding. We may in the future incur debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. Certain of our existing or future debt instruments may restrict the authorization, payment or setting apart of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. Our Credit Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) restricts the payment of dividends in the event of any event of default, including failure to meet certain financial covenants. There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with the SVB Credit Agreement, and if we default, we may be contractually prohibited from paying dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. Also, future offerings of debt or senior equity securities may adversely affect the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock. If we decide to issue debt or senior equity securities in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instruments containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Series B Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of the Series B Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our shareholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings in us. We may not be able to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock if we fall out of compliance with our loan covenants and are prohibited by our bank lender from paying dividends or if we have insufficient cash to make dividend payments. Our ability to pay cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, which is pari passu to the Series B Preferred Stock and may still be outstanding after the redemption contemplated by the offering, requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) to be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. We cannot predict with certainty whether we will remain in compliance with the covenants of our senior secured lender, SVB, which include, among other things, generating adjusted EBITDA and complying with a minimum liquidity ratio. If we fall out of compliance, our lender may exercise any of its rights and remedies under the loan agreement, including restricting us from making dividend payments. Further, notwithstanding these factors, we may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock. Our ability to pay dividends may be impaired if any of the risks described in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, were to occur. Also, payment of our dividends depends upon our financial condition, remaining in compliance with our affirmative and negative loan covenants with SVB, which we may be unable to do in the future, and other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that our businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make distributions on our common stock, if any, and preferred stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that rank on parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights. We are allowed to issue additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that would rank equal to or below the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, including our Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the certificates of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock without any vote of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks equal to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), we are allowed to issue additional series of preferred stock that would rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations relating to the Series B Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the Series B Preferred Stock upon our liquidation or dissolution or the winding up of our affairs. It also may reduce dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and other classes or series of stock with equal priority with respect to dividends. Also, although holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights, as described in this prospectus supplement under “Description of the Series B Preferred Stock—Voting Rights,” with respect to the circumstances under which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Series B Preferred Stock votes separately as a class along with all other series of our preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. As a result, the voting rights of holders of Series B Preferred Stock may be significantly diluted, and the holders of such other series of preferred stock that we may issue may be able to control or significantly influence the outcome of any vote. Future issuances and sales of senior or pari passu preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for the Series B Preferred Stock and our common stock to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to us. Market interest rates may materially and adversely affect the value of the Series B Preferred Stock. One of the factors that influences the price of the Series B Preferred Stock is the dividend yield on the Series B Preferred Stock (as a percentage of the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock to expect a higher dividend yield (and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for dividend payments). Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of the Series B Preferred Stock to materially decrease. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.” Distributions paid to corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and distributions paid to non-corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be subject to tax at the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income,” if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not currently have such accumulated earnings and profits. Additionally, we may not have sufficient current earnings and profits during future fiscal years for the distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock to qualify as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the distributions fail to qualify as dividends, U.S. holders would be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.” If any distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to any fiscal year are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction or preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income” because of insufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits, it is possible that the market value of the Series B Preferred Stock might decline.

The number of shares sold by the Sales Agent after delivering a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the shares of common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agent.

Sales of our common stock in this offering or otherwise, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to fall. We may issue and sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 from time to time in connection with this offering. The issuance and sale from time to time of these new shares of common stock, or our ability to issue these new shares of common stock in this offering, could have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock.

It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return. Our common stock is listed to trade on more than one stock exchange, and this may result in price variations. Our common stock is listed for trading on both the NYSE American and the TASE, although we will be delisting from the TASE effective as of March 22, 2023. Dual-listing may result in price variations between the exchanges due to a number of factors. First, our common stock is traded in U.S. dollars on the NYSE American and in NIS on the TASE. In addition, the exchanges are open for trade at different times of the day and on different days. For example, the TASE opens generally during Israeli business hours, Sunday through Thursday, while the NYSE American opens generally during U.S. business hours, Monday through Friday. The two exchanges also have differing vacation schedules. Differences in the trading schedules, as well as volatility in the exchange rate of the two currencies, among other factors, may result different trading prices for our common stock on the two exchanges. Other external influences may have different effects on the trading price of our common stock on the two exchanges. There is no certainty regarding the net proceeds to our Company. There is no certainty that gross proceeds of $20,000,000 will be raised in this offering. The Sales Agent has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares on our behalf if and as instructed by us, or to purchase the shares as principal from time to time, if agreed pursuant to a separate terms agreement. However, we are not required to request the sale of the maximum amount offered or any amount and, if we request a sale, the Sales Agent is not obligated to purchase any shares that are not sold. As a result of the offering being made on a commercially reasonable efforts basis with no minimum, and only as requested by us, we may raise substantially less than the maximum total offering amount or nothing at all. The common stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness, including our outstanding convertible notes. Shares of the common stock are equity interests in our Company and do not constitute indebtedness. As such, the common stock ranks junior to all indebtedness, including our outstanding 7.5% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due 2024, and other non-equity claims on our Company with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on our Company, including in a liquidation of our Company. Additionally, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of the holders of our common stock. Holders of our common stock are subject to the prior dividend, liquidation preferences, terms of redemption, conversion rights and voting rights, if any, of any holders of our preferred stock or depositary shares representing such preferred stock then outstanding.
