The last reported sale price of our common stock on March 18, 2020, was $1.47 per share.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement and page 6 of the accompanying prospectus, as well as the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, before investing in our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or the placement agent, as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay the placement agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below. Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we will also issue warrants to purchase up to 815,047 shares of our common stock (the "Placement Agent Warrants") to the placement agent, or its designees, as part of the compensation payable to the placement agent. The Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.9938 per share and will expire five years from the effective date of this offering. We are also registering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants.

Before buying any of the securities that we are offering, we urge you to carefully read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, and the information incorporated by reference as described under the headings "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Information Incorporated by Reference" in this prospectus supplement. These documents contain important information that you should consider when making your investment decision.

This document is comprised of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and also adds to, and updates information contained in, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to the combined document consisting of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In this prospectus supplement, as permitted by law, we "incorporate by reference" information from other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and should be read with the same care. When we make future filings with the SEC to update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference, the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is considered to be automatically updated and superseded. In other words, in case of a conflict or inconsistency between information contained in this prospectus supplement and information in the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information contained in the document that was filed later.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed on November 22, 2017 with the SEC using a "shelf" registration process with respect to up to $100,000,000 in securities that may be sold thereunder. The shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on December 1, 2017.

Under the shelf registration process, we may offer and sell any combination of securities described in the accompanying prospectus in one or more offerings. The purpose of this prospectus supplement is to provide supplemental information regarding us in connection with this offering of securities.

Recent Developments

On March 19, 2020, the Company and L.B. Resources, Limited agreed to expand the exclusive distribution agreement to Canada and Mexico.

On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 16,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price per share of common stock $1.25 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. We refer to this registered direct offering as the "Second RD Offering" which closed on March 13, 2020. In connection with the Second RD Offering, we agreed to issue warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC who served as our placement agent in connection with the Second RD Offering issuable for 1,040,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.5625 per share. As of March 19, 2020, 4,075,000 of the March 12, 2020 $1.25 warrants were exercised into 4,075,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million.

On March 10, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 4,450,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price per share of common stock of $1.15 and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,376,087 shares of common stock at an effective price of $1.15 per share ($1.1499 paid to the Company upon the closing of the offering and $0.0001 to be paid upon exercise of such pre-funded warrants), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $9.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. We refer to this registered direct offering as the "First RD Offering" which closed on March 13, 2020. In connection with the First RD Offering, we agreed to issue warrants to H.C. Wainwright

  • Co., LLC who served as our placement agent in connection with the First RD Offering issuable for 508,696 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.4375 per share. As of March 19, 2020, all of the 3,376,087 pre-funded warrants were exercised into 3,376,087 shares of common stock.

On March 9, 2020, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the right to commercialize a coronavirus 2019 rapid test. The test has been licensed from L.B. Resources, Limited, which licensed North American rights from product developer Zhejiang Orient Gene Biotech Co., Ltd.

On February 27, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note to an unrelated third-party investor in which the investor loaned gross proceeds of $800,000 to the Company. The unsecured, nonconvertible note has an OID of $160,000 and the Company received net proceeds of $640,000. The note will be repaid by the Company with eight consecutive monthly payments to the investor in the amount of $100,000, beginning April 1, 2020.

On February 14, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. Through this acquisition, Aytu expands into the $40 billion consumer healthcare market with a portfolio of over thirty-five consumer products competing in large therapeutic categories including diabetes, men's health, sexual wellness and respiratory health. This expanded product line broadens Aytu's portfolio beyond its $20 million prescription therapeutic portfolio to enable wider revenue distribution and consumer reach, reduced seasonality associated with Aytu's seasonal antitussive product line, and higher revenue from an expanded base of proprietary products.

Combined, Aytu and Innovus generated approximately $43 million in revenue over the preceding four quarters ended December 31, 2019 when accounting for the Innovus business and the recently expanded Rx portfolio following the acquisition of nine pediatric primary care products from Cerecor, Inc.

This business combination provides increased scale and enables operational synergies that can be leveraged to accelerate the combined company's growth and path to profitability. Initially, the company expects to operate the commercial aspects of the Innovus consumer business separately from Aytu's prescription business, while rationalizing general and administrative expenses through the removal of Innovus' public company costs and redundant administrative and operational processes, along with the reduction in overhead, administrative and facilities costs.

The prescription product portfolio will continue to be primarily commercialized through the existing Aytu sales force, while the consumer health products will continue to be primarily commercialized via Innovus' proprietary Beyond Human® marketing platform. However, we expect both lines of business to benefit from opportunistic cross-selling such that some consumer products may be marketed in the professional market by Aytu's Rx commercial team, while the marketing of the prescription products may be bolstered through various online and direct-to-consumer marketing initiatives.

Legal Matters

In May 2017, we entered into a commercial agreement with WWPIL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC ("Hikma") (LSE: HIK)

(NASDAQ Dubai: HIK) (OTC: HKMPY). Pursuant to the commercial agreement, WWPIL provided us with the rights to launch our branded, fluticasone propionate nasal spray USP, 50 mcg per spray (FlutiCare®), under WWPIL's FDA approved ANDA No. 207957 in the U.S. in mid-November 2017. The initial term of the commercial agreement is for two years, and upon expiration of the initial term, the agreement will automatically renew for subsequent one-year terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its desire not to renew at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The agreement requires us to meet certain minimum product batch purchase requirements in order for the agreement to continue to be in effect. In November 2019, we terminated the Hikma agreement because in our view Hikma failed to provide us with releasable product in the required timeline. We have, however, agreed to purchase the remainder of the one batch that we ordered in 2019. Hikma has disputed our right to terminate the agreement going forward, and the parties are in settlement discussions regarding whether to continue any future arrangement.

S-1

On August 24, 2018, the Company received a letter from the Marin County District Attorney's Office requesting substantiation for certain advertising claims made for certain of the Company's products, DiabaSens®, and Apeaz® that were marketed and sold to customers in that County. The Marin County District Attorney's Office is part of a larger ten county Northern California Task Force of district attorneys to handle customer protection matters. In November 2018, the Company responded through its regulatory attorneys to the Marin County's District Attorney's letter. In March 2019, the Company heard back from the Marin County District Attorney. In April 2019, the Company responded to the letter and in June 2019 the Company met with the Northern California Task Force. The Company is currently negotiating a settlement agreement with the Marin County District Attorney's office, though no assurance can be given that a settlement will be reached.

Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), cough and upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia, male infertility, and various pediatric conditions and we plan to expand opportunistically into other therapeutic areas as we continue to execute on our growth plans. We commercialize our products through our internal commercial infrastructure and nationwide direct sales force.

We have been historically focused on commercialization of the following products (i) Natesto®, a testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, (ii) ZolpiMist™, a short-term insomnia treatment, and (iii) Tuzistra® XR, a codeine-based antitussive.

Additionally, we completed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Cerecor, Inc ("Cerecor") on November 1, 2019, acquiring six products, (i) AcipHex® Sprinkle™, (ii) Cefaclor for Oral Suspension, (iii) Karbinal® ER, (iv) Flexichamber™, (v) Poly-Vi-Flor® and Tri-Vi-Flor™ (the "Pediatric Portfolio"). We immediately began to include these acquired Pediatric Portfolio in our commercialization efforts in order to leverage our internal commercial infrastructure and national sales force.

Finally, on February 14, 2020 we successfully completed the acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., resulting in our entrance into the approximately $40 billion consumer healthcare market with a portfolio of over thirty-five consumer products.

In the future we will seek to acquire additional commercial-stage or near-market products, including existing products we believe can offer distinct clinical advantages and patient benefits over existing other marketed products. Our management team's prior experience has involved identifying both clinical-stage and commercial-stage assets that can be launched or re-launched to increase value, with a focused commercial infrastructure specializing in novel, niche products.

Key Product Highlights

Primary Care Rx Portfolio

Prior to November 1, 2020, we were focused on the commercial development of the following three primary care focused products:

  • Natesto® - In 2016 We acquired exclusive U.S. rights to Natesto® (testosterone) nasal gel, a novel formulation of testosterone delivered via a discreet, easy-to-use nasal gel. Natesto is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men and is the only testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, delivered via a nasal gel. Natesto offers multiple advantages over currently available TRTs and competes in a $1.7 billion market accounting for nearly 7 million prescriptions annually. Importantly, as Natesto is delivered via the nasal mucosa and not the skin, there is no risk of testosterone transference to others, a known potential side effect and black box warning associated with all other topically applied TRTs, including the market leader AndroGel®.
  • ZolpiMist™ - In June 2018 we acquired an exclusive U.S. license to ZolpiMist™. ZolpiMist is an FDA-approved prescription product that is indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia, and is the only oral spray formulation of zolpidem tartrate - the most widely prescribed prescription sleep aid in the U.S. ZolpiMist is commercially available and competes in the non-benzodiazepine prescription sleep aid category, a $1.8 billion prescription drug category with over 43 million prescriptions written annually. Thirty million prescriptions of zolpidem tartrate (Ambien®, Ambien® CR, Intermezzo®, Edluar®, ZolpiMist™, and generic forms of immediate-release, controlled release, and orally dissolving tablet formulations) are written each year in the U.S., representing almost 70% of the non-benzodiazepine sleep aid category. Approximately 2.5 million prescriptions are written for novel formulations of zolpidem tartrate products (controlled release and sublingual tablets). We intend to integrate ZolpiMist into our sales force's promotional efforts as an adjunct product to Natesto as there is substantial overlap of physician prescribers of both testosterone and prescription sleep aids.
  • Tuzistra® XR - In November 2018 we acquired Tuzistra XR, the only FDA-approved12-hourcodeine-based antitussive. Tuzistra XR is a prescription antitussive consisting of codeine polistirex and chlorpheniramine polistirex in an extended-release oral suspension. Tuzistra XR is a patented combination of codeine, an opiate agonist antitussive, and chlorpheniramine, a histamine-1 receptor antagonist, indicated for relief of cough and symptoms associated with upper respiratory allergies or a common cold in adults aged 18 years and older. Tuzistra XR is protected by two Orange Book-listed patents extending to 2031 and multiple pending patents. According to MediMedia, the US cough cold prescription market is worth in excess of $3 billion at current brand pricing, with 30-35 million annual prescriptions. This market is dominated by short-acting treatments, which require dosing 4-6 times a day. Tuzistra XR was developed using Tris Pharma's liquid sustained release technology, LiquiXR®, which allows for extended drug delivery throughout a 12-hour dosing period.

S-2

The Pediatric Rx Portfolio

In November 2019 we acquired a portfolio of pediatric primary care products (the "Commercial Portfolio") from Cerecor, Inc. in order to expand our portfolio of commercial-stage products and further leverage our commercial infrastructure and sales force. Through this acquisition the Company now commercializes nine prescription products and sells directly to pediatric and primary care physicians throughout the U.S.

The Commercial Portfolio contains established prescription products competing in markets exceeding $8 billion in annual U.S. sales. Each product has distinct clinical features and patient-friendly benefits and are indicated to treat common pediatric and primary care conditions.

  • AcipHex® Sprinkle™ (rabeprazole sodium) - AcipHex Sprinkle is a granule formulation of rabeprazole sodium, a commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitor. AcipHex Sprinkle is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in pediatric patients 1 to 11 years of age for up to 12 weeks.
  • Cefaclor (cefaclor oral suspension) - Cefaclor for oral suspension is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic suspension and is indicated for the treatment of numerous common infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, staphylococci, and Streptococcus pyogenes, and others.
  • Flexichamber® - Flexichamber is an anti-static, valved collapsible holding chamber intended to be used by patients to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDIs) such as commonly used asthma medications.
  • Karbinal® ER (carbinoxamine maleate extended-release oral suspension) - Karbinal ER is an H1 receptor antagonist (antihistamine) indicated to treat various allergic conditions including seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, and other common allergic conditions.
  • Poly-Vi-Flor®and Tri-Vi-Flor® - Poly-Vi-Flor and Tri-Vi-Flor are two complementary prescription fluoride-based supplement product lines containing combinations of vitamins and fluoride in various oral formulations. These prescription supplements are prescribed for infants and children to treat or prevent fluoride deficiency due to poor diet or low levels of fluoride in drinking water and other sources.

Innovus Merger (Consumer Portfolio)

Upon the February 14, 2020 acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we now market and sell over 35 products in the U.S. and more than 10 in multiple countries around the world through 5 international commercial partners. The following represents the core products:

  • Vesele®
  • UriVarx®
  • FlutiCare®
  • Apeaz®
  • Diabasens®
  • Prostagorx®
  • Sensum+®
  • Trexar®

S-3

In addition, we currently expect to launch in the U.S. the following products in 2020, subject to the applicable regulatory approvals, if required:

  • Musclin® is a proprietary supplement made of two FDA Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) approved ingredients designed to increase muscle mass, endurance and activity (first half of 2020). The main ingredient in Musclin® is a natural activator of the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 3 (TRPV3) channels on muscle fibers responsible to increase fibers width resulting in larger muscles;
  • Regenerum™ is a proprietary product containing two natural molecules: the first is an activator of the TRPV3 channels resulting in the increase of muscle fiber width, and the second targets a different unknown receptor to build the muscle's capacity for energy production and increases physical endurance, allowing longer and more intense exercise. Regenerum™ is being developed for patients suffering from muscle wasting. We currently expect to launch this product in 2020 pending successful clinical trials in patients with muscle wasting or cachexia;
  • Octiq™ is an expected FDA ophthalmic OTC monograph compliant product for the treatment of eye redness and eye lubrication (early 2020); and
  • Regoxidine™ is an ANDA approved 5% Minoxidil foam for men and women for hair growth on the top of the scalp (first half 2020).

We have extensive experience across a wide range of business development activities and have in-licensed or acquired products from large, mid-sized, and small enterprises in the United States and abroad. Through an assertive product and business development approach, we expect that we will continue to build a substantial portfolio of complementary products.

Our Strategy

In the near-term, we expect to create value for shareholders by implementing a focused strategy of increasing sales of our prescription therapeutics while leveraging our commercial infrastructure. Further, we expect to increase sales of our newly acquired consumer healthcare product portfolio following the closing of our acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Additionally, we expect to expand both our Rx and consumer health product portfolios through continuous business and product development. Finally, we expect to identify operational efficiencies identified through our recent transactions and implement expense reductions accordingly,

Risks Related to our Operations

We are relying on FDA policies and guidance provisions that have changed very recently and relate directly to the 2019 coronavirus health crisis. If we misinterpret this guidance or the guidance changes unexpectedly and/or materially, potential sales of the COVID-19 test would be impacted.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued non-binding guidance for manufacturers relating to the pathway to enable FDA approval for devices related to testing for COVID-19 under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Following the issuance of the initial published guidance, on March 16, 2020, revised guidance specific to COVID-19 'antibody tests' was issued. In this guidance document and in subsequent communications with FDA officials, the pathway to enable distribution of the COVID-19 test was further explained. If our interpretation of the newly revised guidance is incorrect or specifics around the guidance change, the sales of the COVID-19 test could be materially impacted.

If our recently licensed COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test does not perform as expected or the reliability of the technology is questioned, we could experience delayed or reduced market acceptance of the test, increased costs and damage to our reputation.

Our success depends on the market's confidence that we can provide a reliable, high-qualityCOVID-19 diagnostic test. We believe that customers in our target markets are likely to be particularly sensitive to product defects and errors. Our reputation and the public image of our licensed COVID-19 diagnostic test may be impaired if it fails to perform as expected or is perceived as difficult to use. Despite quality control testing, defects or errors could occur with the test.

In the future, if our licensed COVID-19 diagnostic test experiences a material defect or error, this could result in loss or delay of revenues, delayed market acceptance, damaged reputation, diversion of development resources, legal claims, increased insurance costs or increased service and warranty costs, any of which could harm our business. Such defects or errors could also prompt us to amend certain warning labels or narrow the scope of the use of our diagnostic tests, either of which could hinder our success in the market. Even after any underlying concerns or problems are resolved, any widespread concerns regarding our technology or any manufacturing defects or performance errors in the test could result in lost revenue, delayed market acceptance, damaged reputation, increased service and warranty costs and claims against us.

If we become subject to claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of hazardous materials, we could incur significant cost and time to comply.

Our research and development processes involve the controlled storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials, including biological hazardous materials. We are subject to foreign, federal, state and local regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of materials and waste products. We may incur significant costs complying with both existing and future environmental laws and regulations. In particular, we are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, and the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and to regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in the United States. OSHA or the EPA may adopt additional regulations in the future that may affect our research and development programs. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from hazardous materials cannot be eliminated completely. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result, and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our workers' compensation insurance. We may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms, if at all.

S-7

Our licensed COVID-19 test has not been manufactured on a high-volume scale and could be subject to unforeseen scale-up risks.

While the manufacturer of the COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test has experience manufacturing diagnostic tests, there can be no assurance that they can manufacture the COVID-19 diagnostic test at a scale that is adequate for our current and future commercial needs. We may face significant or unforeseen difficulties in securing adequate supply of the COVID-19 diagnostic test, relating to the manufacturing of the test. These risks include but are not limited to:

  • Technical issues relating to manufacturing components of the COVID-19 diagnostic test on a high-volume commercial scale at reasonable cost, and in a reasonable time frame;
  • difficulty meeting demand or timing requirements for orders due to excessive costs or lack of capacity for part or all of an operation or process;
  • changes in government regulations or in quality or other requirements that lead to additional manufacturing costs or an inability to supply product in a timely manner, if at all; and
  • increases in raw material or component supply cost or an inability to obtain supplies of certain critical supplies needed to complete our manufacturing processes.

These and other difficulties may only become apparent when scaling up to the manufacturing process of the COVID-19 diagnostic test to a more substantive commercial scale. In the event the test cannot be manufactured in sufficient commercial quantities or manufacturing is delayed, our future prospects could be significantly impacted and our financial prospects could be materially harmed.

Our suppliers may experience development or manufacturing problems or delays that could limit the growth of our revenue or increase our losses.

We may encounter unforeseen situations in the manufacturing of the COVID-19 diagnostic test that could result in delays or shortfalls in our production. Suppliers may also face similar delays or shortfalls. In addition, suppliers' production processes may have to change to accommodate any significant future expansion of manufacturing capacity, which may increase suppliers' manufacturing costs, delay production of diagnostic tests, reduce our product gross margin and adversely impact our business. If we are unable to keep up with demand for the COVID-19 diagnostic test by successfully securing supply and shipping our diagnostic tests in a timely manner, our revenue could be impaired, market acceptance for the test could be adversely affected and our customers might instead purchase our competitors' diagnostic tests.

We have relied and expect to continue to rely on third parties to conduct studies of the COVID-19 diagnostic test that will be required by the FDA or other regulatory authorities and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily.

Although we intend to sell the COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test by virtue of recent FDA guidance allowing for reduced product clinical and analytical studies, we have relied on third parties, such as independent testing laboratories and hospitals, to conduct such studies. Our reliance on these third parties will reduce our control over these activities. These third-party contractors may not complete activities on schedule or conduct studies in accordance with regulatory requirements or our study design. We cannot control whether they devote sufficient time, skill and resources to our studies. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of any applicable requirement to prepare, and ensure compliance with, various procedures required under good clinical practices. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, if the third parties need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to their failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our studies may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for additional diagnostic tests.

If the manufacturer's delivery of the COVID-19 tests and the required clinical data is delayed, then our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and/or authorizations to the distribute the COVID-19 test will be impaired, which will adversely affect our business plans.

While the FDA has provided a path forward to begin selling the COVID-19 tests on an expedited basis, we are still required to provide the FDA with data concerning the validation of the tests and to satisfy certain labelling conditions. If the manufacturer is delayed in delivering to us the COVID-19 tests and related validation data, we will, in turn, be delayed in obtaining FDA approval and/or distribution authorization required before we can begin selling the COVID-19 tests. Any such delays will adversely affect our business plans.

S-8

We rely on a third party to manufacture the COVID-19 test for us and if such third party refuses or is unable to supply us with the COVID-19 test, our business will be materially harmed.

We rely on a third party to manufacture the COVID-19 diagnostic test, which manufacturer licenses its rights from the owner of the intellectual property underlying the COVID-19 test. If any issues arise with respect to the manufacturer's ability to manufacture and deliver to us the COVID-19 tests, our business could be materially harmed.

While we have obtained an exclusive distribution agreement for the right to commercialize the COVID-19 test in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the manufacturer has no obligation to supply us with a minimum amount of, or any, COVID-19 tests. The manufacturer may choose not to supply us with a sufficient quantity of such tests in order to supply such tests to other distributors, or for any reason. In addition, the manufacturer may be unable to provide us with an adequate supply of COVID-19 tests for various reasons, including, among others, if it becomes insolvent, if a United States regulatory authority or other governments block the import or sale of the COVID-19 tests, if it fails to maintain its rights to manufacture the COVID-19 test, or if the owner of the underlying intellectual property fails to adequately maintain such intellectual property.

If there is little or no demand for the COVID-19 test our business could be materially harmed.

While we have received a number of inquiries regarding the COVID-19 test and expect to receive orders upon our receipt of a supply of COVID-19 tests, there is no guarantee that such inquiries will result in customer orders. If no orders for the COVID-19 test are made, our business will be materially harmed.

The recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. The impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the businesses and the economy in China and the rest of the world is unknown. If the impact is significant, the outbreak could impact our ability to implement logistic centers, develop business, conduct operations, and obtain components used in our products. The extent to which COVID-19 outbreak will impact business and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, we cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition and results of operation will be affected.

Risks Related to our Bylaws

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, including claims under the Securities Act, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents. Stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive provision shall not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Risks Related to this Offering

Purchasers of common shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.

The offering price per share of common stock in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common shares before giving effect to this offering. Accordingly, if you purchase common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate substantial dilution of approximately $0.499 per common share, representing the difference between the offering price per share of common stock, and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 (after giving effect to the proceeds of the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering as if those actions had occurred as of December 31, 2019). Furthermore, if outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you could experience further dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section in this prospectus supplement entitled "Dilution."

A substantial number of common shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price for our common shares.

Sales of a substantial number of common shares in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common shares to decline. A substantial majority of the outstanding common shares are, and the common shares offered hereby will be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common shares or other securities. In addition, this offering and future equity offerings and other issuances of our common shares or other securities may adversely affect our common shares.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional common shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

In addition, the sale of shares in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

There is no public market for the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants will be limited.

The Holder of Warrants and the Holders of the Placement Agent Warrants purchased or acquired in this offering will have no rights as a common shareholder until such holder exercises its Warrants and acquires our common shares.

Until a holder of Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants acquires the common shares upon exercise of the Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants, as applicable, a holder of Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants, as applicable, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

Our management team may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering. We will use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or enhance the value of our preferred stock. The failure of our management to use these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the market price of our preferred stock to decline and potentially impair the operation and expansion of our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term,investment-grade,interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $18.1 million, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants.

We have not allocated any specific portion of the net proceeds to any particular purpose, and our management will have the discretion to allocate the proceeds as it determines. Furthermore, the amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the cash used in or generated by our operations, the pace of the integration of acquired businesses, the level of our sales and marketing activities and the attractiveness of any additional acquisitions or investments.

S-12

DILUTION

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering.

As of December 31, 2019 (after giving effect to the proceeds of the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering as if those actions had occurred as of December 31, 2019), we would have had a net tangible book value of $48,503,190, or $0.998 per share of common stock. Our net tangible book value per share of common stock represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2019 (after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering as if those actions had occurred as of December 31, 2019) (48,609,139 shares of common stock would have been outstanding as of December 31, 2019 after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering as if those actions had occurred as of December 31, 2019).

After giving effect to the issuance and sale by us of 12,539,187 shares of common stock in this offering in the aggregate amount of $20.0 million in this offering at an offering price of $1.595 per share of common stock deducting placement agent fees, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 (after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering as if those actions had occurred as of December 31, 2019) would have been $67,003,193.02, or approximately $1.096 per share of common stock (assuming 61,148,326 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019 after giving effect to, (i) the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering and (ii) the issuance of 12,539,187 shares of common stock in this offering). This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.098 per share of common stock to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.499 per share of common stock to new investors purchasing securities of in this offering.

Dilution per share of common stock to new investors is determined by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering from the offering price per share of common stock paid by new investors. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share of common stock basis:

Assuming the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants were immediately exercised, this would result in an as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2019 of $87,060,838.62 or approximately $1.17 per share of common stock (assuming 74,502,560 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019 after giving effect to, (i) to the issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of a certain number of warrants issued in connection with the First RD Offering and the Second RD Offering, (ii) the issuance of 12,539,187 shares of common stock in this offering (ii) the exercise of the Warrants for 12,539.187 shares of common stock issued in this offering and (iii) the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants for 815,047 shares of common stock issued in this offering),which represents an immediate dilution per share to new investors of $0.425 per share of common stock, and an increase in net tangible book value per share to existing stockholders of $0.172 per share of common stock.

S-13

The discussion of dilution, and the table quantifying it, assumes the sale of all shares covered by this prospectus supplement and no exercise of any outstanding options or warrants or other potentially dilutive securities. The exercise of potentially dilutive securities having an exercise price less than the offering price would increase the dilutive effect to new investors.

The above discussion and table are based on 20,733,052 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019, which does not include the following:

  • 1,482 common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2019 at a weighted average exercise price of $325.54 per share of common stock. As of March 10, 2020, there were 13,937 common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of March 10, 2020 with a weighted exercise price of 34.69.
  • 26,459,663 common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2019, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.92 per share of common stock, of which 17,030,191 remain outstanding at March 12, 2020 with a weighted average exercise price of $3.76.
  • an additional 403,209 common shares that are available for future issuance under our stock option plan, which was subsequently increased by 2,000,000 shares upon receiving shareholder approval on February 13, 2020.
  • To the extent any of these outstanding options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.
  • 508,696 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC or its assignees in connection with the First RD Offering on March 13, 2020.
  • 12,075,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the Second RD Offering on March 13, 2020.
  • 1,040,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC or its assignees in connection with the Second RD Offering on March 13, 2020.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

Common Stock

The material terms and provisions of our common stock are described under the heading "Description of Capital Stock" in the accompanying prospectus.

Warrants

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Warrants, which has been provided to the investors in this offering and which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Warrants.

Duration and Exercise Price

The Warrants offered hereby will have an exercise price of $1.47 per share. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of one year from the issuance date. The exercise prices and numbers of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock. warrants will be issued in certificated form only.

Exercisability

The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder's warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or 9.99%, at the holder's election) of our outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days' prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder's Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. Purchasers in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. Further, such Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that such exercise would result in a holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the outstanding common stock or outstanding voting power of the Company (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by them).

Cashless Exercise

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrant.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the warrant.

S-16

Transferability

A Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

Trading Market

There is no established trading market for any of the Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for any of the warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Rights as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of the holders' ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such Warrant holders exercise their warrants.

Waivers and Amendments

No term of the Warrants may be amended or waived without the written consent of the holder of such warrant.

Placement Agent Warrants

We have also agreed to issue to the placement agent the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 815,047 shares of common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants will have substantially the same terms as the Warrants described above, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price will have an exercise price of $1.9938 per share (which represents 125% of the offering price per share sold in this offering).

S-17

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock and Warrants acquired in this offering. This discussion is based on the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (referred to as the "Code"), existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, with respect to the matters discussed below, and there can be no assurance the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common stock or Warrants, or that any such contrary position would not be sustained by a court.

We assume in this discussion that the shares of our common stock and Warrants will be held as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes, does not discuss the potential application of the tax on net investment income, the alternative minimum tax and does not address state or local taxes, U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except as specifically provided below with respect to non- U.S. holders, or any non-U.S. tax consequences that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion also does not address the special tax rules applicable to particular holders, such as:

  • financial institutions;
  • brokers or dealers in securities;
  • tax-exemptorganizations;
  • pension plans;
  • regulated investment companies;
  • owners that hold our common stock or Warrants as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other integrated investment;
  • insurance companies;
  • controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; and
  • certain U.S. expatriates.

In addition, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our common stock or Warrants through partnerships or other entities which are pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A partner in a partnership or other pass-through entity that will hold our common stock or Warrants should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock or Warrants through a partnership or other pass-through entity, as applicable.

S-18

This discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations is for information purposes only and is not tax advice. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of acquiring, holding and disposing of our common stock and Warrants.

For the purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or other pass-through entity) of our common stock or Warrants that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

  1. an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a beneficial owner of common stock or Warrants that is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Allocation of Purchase Price to Warrants

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a holder's acquisition of both common stock and Warrants should be treated as the acquisition of an "investment unit" consisting of one share of common stock and one Warrant. The purchase price for each investment unit will be allocated between these two components in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time the unit is purchased by the holder. This allocation of the purchase price for each unit will establish the holder's initial tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the common stock and Warrant, as applicable. The separation of the share of common stock and the warrant included in each unit should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each holder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the allocation of the purchase price for a unit.

Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders

Distributions

As discussed above, we currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation, and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In the event that we do make distributions on our common stock to a U.S. Holder, those distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, a U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or exchange of our common stock as described below under the section titled "-Disposition of Our Common Stock or Warrants."

S-19

Disposition of Our Common Stock or Warrants

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock or Warrants, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock or Warrants. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the common stock or Warrants exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. U.S. Holders who recognize losses with respect to a disposition of our common stock or Warrants should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of such losses.

Exercise or Lapse of Warrants

Upon the exercise of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss and will have a tax basis in the common stock received equal to the U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Warrant plus the exercise price of the Warrant. The holding period for the common stock received pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant will begin on the date following the date of exercise (or possibly the date of exercise) and will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant. If a Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to its tax basis in the Warrant. Such loss will be long- term capital loss if the Warrant has been held for more than one year as of the date the Warrant lapsed. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on the common stock and to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of common stock and Warrants paid by us to a U.S. Holder unless such U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation. Backup withholding will apply to those payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide the holder's taxpayer identification number, or certification of exempt status, or if the holder otherwise fails to comply with applicable requirements to establish an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Tax Considerations Applicable To Non-U.S. Holders

Distributions

As discussed above, we currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation, and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In the event that we do make distributions on our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder, those distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes as described in "-U.S.Holders-Distributions".

Any distribution (including constructive distributions) on our common stock that is treated as a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is not effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States will generally be subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the Non-U.S. Holder's country of residence. To obtain a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be required to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other appropriate form, certifying the Non-U.S. Holder's entitlement to benefits under that treaty. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty and the specific methods available to them to satisfy these requirements.

We generally are not required to withhold tax on dividends paid (or constructive dividends deemed paid) to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder maintains in the United States) if a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI, stating that the dividends are so connected, is furnished to us or the applicable withholding agent. In general, such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons. A corporate Non-U.S. Holder receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax," which is imposed, under certain circumstances, at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable treaty) on the corporate Non-U.S. Holder's effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to certain adjustments.

See also the sections below titled "-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "-Foreign Accounts" for additional withholding rules that may apply to dividends paid to certain foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities.

S-20

Disposition of Our Common Stock or Warrants

Subject to the discussions below under the sections titled "-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "-Foreign Accounts," a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax with respect to gain realized on a sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants unless:

  • the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States; in these cases, the Non-U.S. Holder will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to U.S. persons, and if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, may also apply;
  • the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder's country of residence) on the net gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder, if any; or
  • we are, or have been at any time during the five-year period preceding such disposition (or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period of the common stock or Warrants, if shorter), a "U.S. real property holding corporation," unless our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market and the Non-U.S. Holder held no more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, directly or indirectly, during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock. Special rules may apply to the determination of the 5% threshold in the case of a holder of a Warrant or common stock warrant. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of holding our Warrants on the calculation of such 5% threshold. Generally, a corporation is a "U.S. real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of its "U.S. real property interests" (as defined in the Code and applicable regulations) equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming, a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be provided that our common stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above.

See the sections titled "-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "-Foreign Accounts" below for additional information regarding withholding rules that may apply to proceeds of a disposition of our common stock or Warrants paid to foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities.

Federal Estate Tax

Common stock or Warrants owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a Non-U.S. Holder (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will be included in the individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the gross amount of the distributions (including constructive distributions) on our common stock or Warrants paid to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such distributions. Non-U.S. Holders may have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a U.S. person (as defined in the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate, currently 24%, with respect to dividends (including constructive dividends) on our common stock or Warrants. Generally, a holder will comply with such procedures if it provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable Form W-8) or otherwise meets documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a Non- U.S. Holder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid to Non-U.S. Holders subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, as described above under the heading "Distributions," will generally be exempt from U.S. backup withholding.

S-21

Information reporting and backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a disposition of our common stock or Warrants by a Non-U.S. Holder effected by or through the U.S. office of any broker, U.S. or foreign, unless the holder certifies its status as a Non-U.S. Holder and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, for information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S. ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.

Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder can be refunded or credited against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that an appropriate claim is timely filed with the IRS.

Foreign Accounts

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, generally imposes a 30% withholding tax on dividends on common stock and Warrants if paid to a non- U.S. entity unless (i) if the non-U.S. entity is a "foreign financial institution," the non-U.S. entity undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, (ii) if the non-U.S. entity is not a "foreign financial institution," the non-U.S. entity identifies certain of its U.S. investors, if any, or (iii) the non-U.S. entity is otherwise exempt under FATCA.

While withholding under FATCA may apply to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock or Warrants, under proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, withholding on payments of gross proceeds is not required. Although such regulations are not final, applicable withholding agents may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of the tax. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock or Warrants.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND/OR WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

S-22

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated as of January 3, 2020, as amended, we have retained H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. Under the terms of the engagement letter, Wainwright is not purchasing the securities offered by us in this offering, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, Wainwright and the prospective investor.

Wainwright proposes to arrange for the sale of the shares and the Warrants we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to several investors through securities purchase agreement directly between such investors and us. We will only sell to investors who have entered into securities purchase agreements with us.

Wainwright will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement letter. Further, Wainwright does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. Wainwright may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with this offering. We may not sell the entire amount of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

S-23

Delivery of the securities offered hereby is expected to occur on or about March 23, 2020, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

We have agreed to pay Wainwright a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds received from the investors who purchased securities in the offering. We have also agreed to reimburse Wainwright $200,000 for management fees (which represent 1.0% of the gross proceeds we expect to receive), $90,000 for non- accountable expenses and up to $12,900 for clearing expenses. We estimate the total offering expenses of this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agent's fees and expenses, will be approximately $0.2 million.

In addition, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent (or their designees) the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 815,047 shares of common stock, which represents 6.5% of the aggregate number of securities stock sold in this offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable for one year from the effective date of this offering and will have an exercise price of $1.9938 per share, which represents 125% of the offering price per share and accompanying Warrant sold in this offering. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the Placement Agent Warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering, except the transfer of any security: (i) by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization; (ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in this offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period; (iii) if the aggregate amount of our securities held by the placement agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered; (iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund and the participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or (v) the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period.

We have agreed to indemnify Wainwright and specified other persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of Wainwright's activities under the engagement letter and to contribute to payments that Wainwright may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

Wainwright may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, Wainwright would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common shares by Wainwright acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, Wainwright:

  • may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
  • may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

The securities purchase agreement is included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that we have filed with the SEC and that is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.

From time to time, Wainwright may provide in the future various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. Wainwright acted as our placement agent for the registered direct offering we announced on March 11, 2020, for which it received compensation. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no present arrangements with Wainwright for any further services.

ABOUT AYTU BIOSCIENCE, INC.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage specialty healthcare company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing novel products in the field of urology. We have multiple urology-focused products on the market, and we seek to build a portfolio of novel therapeutics that serve large medical needs in the field of urology. We are concentrating on hypogonadism, prostate cancer, male infertility and, recently, female sexual wellbeing and intimacy and plan to expand into other urological indications for which we believe there are significant medical needs.

We acquired exclusive U.S. rights to Natesto ® (testosterone) nasal gel, a novel formulation of testosterone delivered via a discreet, easy-to-use nasal gel, and we launched Natesto in the United States with our direct sales force in late summer 2016. Natesto is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men and is the only testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, delivered via a nasal gel. Natesto offers multiple advantages over currently available TRTs and competes in a $2.0 billion market. Importantly, as Natesto is delivered via the nasal mucosa and not the skin, there is no risk of testosterone transference to others, a known potential side effect and black box warning associated with

all other topically applied TRTs, including the market leader AndroGel ®.

Outside the U.S. we market MiOXSYS ®, a novel in vitro diagnostic device that is currently CE marked (which generally enables it to be sold within the European Economic Area) and for which we intend to initiate a final clinical study to enable FDA clearance in the U.S. Our MiOXSYS system is a novel, point- of-care semen analysis system with the potential to become a standard of care in the diagnosis and management of male infertility. Male infertility is a prevalent and underserved condition and oxidative stress is widely implicated in its pathophysiology. MiOXSYS was developed from our core oxidation-

reduction potential research platform known as RedoxSYS ®. We are advancing MiOXSYS toward FDA clearance.

We currently market ProstaScint ® (capromab pendetide), the only radioimaging agent indicated to detect the prostate specific membrane antigen, or PSMA, in the assessment and staging of prostate cancer. ProstaScint is approved by the FDA for use in both newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer patients and patients with recurrent prostate cancer.

On May 5, 2017, we acquired Nuelle, Inc, or Nuelle, a women's sexual health company. This transaction expanded our product portfolio with the addition of

the Fiera ® personal care device for women. Fiera was recently launched in the U.S. and is a proprietary, revenue-generating product scientifically proven to enhance physical arousal and sexual desire in the millions of adult women around the world impacted by changes in sexual desire. This acquisition adds a novel, commercial-stage product in a complementary adjacency readily accessible by our U.S.-based commercial infrastructure. Nuelle was previously a portfolio company of leading venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates.

In the future we will look to acquire additional urology products, including existing products we believe can offer distinct commercial advantages. Our management team's prior experience has involved identifying clinical assets that can be re-launched to increase value, with a focused commercial infrastructure specializing in urology.

Natesto® (testosterone) nasal gel.

On April 22, 2016, we entered into an agreement to acquire the exclusive U.S. rights to Natesto (testosterone) nasal gel from Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation, or Acerus, which rights we acquired on July 1, 2016. Natesto is a patented, FDA-approved testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, and is the only nasally-administered formulation of testosterone available in the United States. Natesto is a discreet, easy-to-administer nasal gel that may be appropriate for men with active lifestyles as Natesto is small, portable, Transportation Security Administration, or TSA-compliant, and easy to use. Importantly, Natesto is not applied directly to the patient's skin as other topically applied TRTs are. Rather, it is delivered directly into the nasal mucosa via a proprietary nasal applicator. Thus, Natesto does not carry a black box warning related to testosterone transference to a man's female partner or children - as other topically (primarily gels and solutions) administered TRTs do by virtue of their delivery directly onto the skin. We launched Natesto in the U.S. in late summer 2016 with our direct sales force, and we are positioning Natesto as the ideal treatment solution for men with active, busy lifestyles who suffer from hypogonadism.

MiOXSYS®.

MiOXSYS is a rapid in vitro diagnostic semen analysis test used in the quantitative measurement of static oxidation-reduction potential, or sORP, in human semen. MiOXSYS is a CE marked system and is an accurate, easy to use, and fast infertility assessment tool. It is estimated that 72.4 million couples worldwide experience infertility problems. In the United States, approximately 10% of couples are defined as infertile. Male infertility is responsible for between 40 - 50% of all infertility cases and affects approximately 7% of all men. Male infertility is often unexplained (idiopathic), and this idiopathic infertility is frequently associated with increased levels of oxidative stress in the semen. As such, having a rapid, easy-to-use diagnostic platform to measure oxidative stress should provide a practical way for male infertility specialists to improve semen analysis and infertility assessments without having to refer patients to outside clinical laboratories.

Male infertility is prevalent and underserved, and oxidative stress is widely implicated in its pathophysiology. The global male infertility market is expected to grow to over $300 million by 2020 with a CAGR of nearly 5% from 2014 to 2020. Oxidative stress is broadly implicated in the pathophysiology of idiopathic male infertility, yet very few diagnostic tools exist to effectively measure oxidative stress levels in men. However, antioxidants are widely available and recommended to infertile men. With the introduction of the MiOXSYS System, we believe for the first time there will be an easy and effective diagnostic tool to assess the degree of oxidative stress and potentially enable the monitoring of patients' responses to antioxidant therapy as a treatment regimen for infertility. The MiOXSYS System received CE marking in Europe in January 2016 and obtained Health Canada Class II Medical Device approval in March 2016. We expect to advance MiOXSYS into clinical trials in the United States in order to enable 510k clearance.

ProstaScint® (capromab pendetide).

We became a commercial stage company by virtue of our acquisition of ProstaScint in May 2015 and are generating sales of this FDA-approved prostate cancer imaging agent. As prostate cancer is a condition commonly diagnosed and treated by urologists, ProstaScint complements our urology-focused product portfolio and pipeline. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States, with an estimated 241,000 annual cases (as of 2012). Further, more than 2.2 million men were alive in 2006 with some history of prostate cancer, and over 30,000 U.S. men die each year from the disease. The effect of prostate cancer on healthcare economics is substantial, which makes the need for accurate disease staging critical for treatment and management strategies. The U.S. market for the diagnosis and screening of prostate cancer is expected to total $17.4 billion by 2017, a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 7.5% since 2012. At June 30, 2017, the ProstaScint asset was impaired based upon sales projections that we intend to only sell this product through mid-fiscal 2019, when this product expires.

Fiera ® Personal Care Device

The Fiera Personal Care Device is the first hands-free wearable product for women, specifically designed to increase interest in, and physical readiness for sex, naturally. The product does so by creating a physically aroused state via the genitals. Co-created with healthcare professionals, Fiera is a small, discreet, fast-acting, and hands-free product that is designed to be used in advance of physical intimacy to help women feel ready and in the mood for sex. Fiera uses gentle suction coupled with stimulation to enhance blood flow to the genitals, increase lubrication, and ultimately get a woman ready for partnered intimacy in as little as 5 minutes.

With the acquisition of Nuelle, Inc., Aytu is expanding into the women's sexual health and wellness market. Sexual wellness is inclusive of female sexual dysfunction which is a term that describes various sexual problems, such as low desire or interest, diminished arousal, orgasmic difficulties, and dyspareunia. Female sexual dysfunction is considered common, with an estimated prevalence of 43% from the U.S. National Health and Social Life Survey and similar estimates from other large, population-based surveys in the United States and the United Kingdom. In a study of over 31,000 women in the United States it was determined that 44% of women report a sexual problem. Specifically, the most common sexual problem is low desire, with a prevalence of 39%; followed by low arousal (26%) and orgasm difficulties (21%). Additionally, the incidence of sexual dysfunction is expected to increase through 2020 to effect more than 124 million women worldwide.

Fiera has been well studied and tested by health care professionals, and consumers and is scientifically proven to enhance arousal and interest in women of all ages, including pre- and post-menopausal women. Recent consumer study results in women ages 25 - 75 showed that after 4 weeks of using Fiera:

  • 97% of women felt physically aroused;
  • 96% looked forward to being intimate with their partner;
  • 93% felt excited and ready for sex;
  • 89% of women felt more "in the mood";
  • 87% felt as ready for sex as their partner did;
  • 86% of women felt a stronger emotional connection with their partner;
  • 85% reported their orgasm felt pleasurable and intense;
  • 85% thought about sex more often; and
  • 85% engaged in sexual activity more often and felt satisfied in her relationship.

Previous studies also showed that 87% of women felt increased desire and 67% felt increased lubrication.

Key elements of our business strategy include:

  • Expand the commercialization of Natesto in the U.S. for the treatment of hypogonadism with our direct sales force. We launched Natesto in late summer 2016 and are targeting high prescribing TRT prescribers with a primary emphasis on urologists and male health practitioners.
  • Expand the commercialization in the U.S. of Fiera, through professional promotion using our existing sales force.
  • Establish MiOXSYS as a leading in vitro diagnostic device in the assessment of male infertility.
  • Continue the commercialization of FDA-approved ProstaScint for the staging of both newly diagnosed high-risk and recurrent prostate cancer patients.
  • Acquire additional marketed products and late-stage development assets within our core urology focus that can be efficiently marketed through our growing commercial organization.
  • Develop a pipeline of urology products, with a focus on identifying novel products with sufficient clinical proof of concept that require modest internal R&D expense.

We plan to augment our core in-development and commercial assets through efficient identification of complementary therapeutics, devices, and diagnostics related to urological disorders. We intend to seek assets that are near commercial stage or already generating revenues. Further, we intend to seek to acquire products through asset purchases, licensing, co-development, or collaborative commercial arrangements (co-promotions,co-marketing, etc.).

Our management team has extensive experience across a wide range of business development activities and have in-licensed or acquired products from large, mid-sized, and small enterprises in the United States and abroad. Through an assertive product and business development approach, we expect that we will build a substantial portfolio of complementary urology products.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado.

Vyrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Vyrix, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 18, 2013 and was wholly owned by Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: AMPE), or Ampio, immediately prior to the completion of the Merger (defined below). Vyrix was previously a carve- out of the sexual dysfunction therapeutics business, including the late-stage men's health product candidates, Zertane and Zertane-ED, from Ampio, that carve-out was announced in December 2013. Luoxis Diagnostics, Inc., or Luoxis, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 24, 2013 and was majority owned by Ampio immediately prior to the completion of the Merger. Luoxis was initially focused on developing and advancing the RedoxSYS System. The MiOXSYS System was developed following the completed development of the RedoxSYS System.

On March 20, 2015, Rosewind formed Rosewind Merger Sub V, Inc. and Rosewind Merger Sub L, Inc., each a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of the Merger, and on April 16, 2015, Rosewind Merger Sub V, Inc. merged with and into Vyrix and Rosewind Merger Sub L, Inc. merged with and into Luoxis, and Vyrix and Luoxis became subsidiaries of Rosewind. Immediately thereafter, Vyrix and Luoxis merged with and into Rosewind with Rosewind as the surviving corporation (herein referred to as the Merger). Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, Rosewind abandoned its pre-merger business plans, and we now solely pursue the specialty healthcare market, focusing on urological related conditions, including the business of Vyrix and Luoxis. When we discuss our business in this prospectus, we include the pre-Merger business of Luoxis and Vyrix.

On June 8, 2015, we (i) reincorporated as a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law and changed our name from Rosewind Corporation to Aytu BioScience, Inc., and (ii) effected a reverse stock split in which each common stock holder received one share of common stock for each 12.174 shares outstanding. At our annual meeting of shareholders held on May 24, 2016, our shareholders approved (1) an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 300.0 million to 100.0 million, which amendment was effective on June 1, 2016, and (2) an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to affect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-12 which became effective on June 30, 2016. At our special meeting of shareholders held on July 26, 2017, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to affect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-20 which became effective on August 25, 2017. All share and per share amounts in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the effect of these three reverse stock splits (hereafter referred to collectively as the "Reverse Stock Splits").

Our principal executive offices are located at 373 Inverness Parkway, Suite 206, Englewood, Colorado 80112, and our phone number is (720) 437-6580.

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agent

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agent would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agent designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agent, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

Continuous Offering Program

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

10

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

General Information

Agent, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agent, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
