The Offering

RISK FACTORS

Investing in shares of our common stock involves significant risks. Please see the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC since the filing of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, each of which are on file with the SEC and are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus.

THE FINANCINGS

Series AA Financing

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, on January 7, 2019, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Handok, Inc. and Genexine, Inc. whereby subject to certain closing conditions, the Purchasers agreed to purchase Series AA Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $25,000,000 (each Purchaser paid $12,500,000 to the Company). The Series AA Preferred Stock had an effective conversion price of $0.22 per share of common stock. On January 30, 2019, we closed the Series AA Financing and issued 1,250,000 Series AA Preferred to each Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act at a purchase price of $10.00 per share of Series AA Preferred Stock. In addition, because the Series AA Financing qualified as a qualified financing under certain of our outstanding senior secured notes, the outstanding principal and interest due thereunder was automatically converted into the Series AA Preferred Stock at a 20% discount. As a result of the closing of the Series AA Financing, the notes plus accrued interest of $800,117 were automatically converted into 767,515 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock. The Series AA Preferred Stock was issued to the note holders pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

As a result of the issuance of the Series AA Preferred Stock to the Purchasers, a change in control of the Company has occurred since the Purchasers collectively own 54% (each owning approximately 27% of our common stock on an as-converted basis) of our common stock on an as-converted basis. Each Purchaser used their working capital as a source of funds to purchase their respective portion of the Series AA Preferred Stock offered in the Series AA Financing.

On April 24, 2019, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000. On April 26, 2019, we filed an amendment to the Certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the share increase. As a result, the shares of Series AA Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 148,523,540 shares of common stock offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders.

Private Placement of Common Stock

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, on July 30, 2019, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Handok, Inc., Genexine, Inc. and certain other accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”), whereby subject to certain closing conditions, the Investors agreed to purchase 69,827,584 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $0.29 for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,250,000. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, on August 13, 2019, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with another accredited investor (collectively, the “Investors”), whereby subject to certain closing conditions, the Investors agreed to purchase 13,103,448 shares of our common stock at a price per share of $0.29 for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,800,000. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The proceeds from the offering are solely for the account of the selling stockholders. See “Selling Stockholders.”

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 293,320,891 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, $0.001 par value per share.

Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared and paid by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and to share, ratably, in the net assets, if any, of Rezolute upon liquidation. The stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase any shares of our capital stock.

The transfer agent for the common stock is VStock, Cedarhurst, New York. Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB and is quoted under the symbol “RZLT.”

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our Board is authorized, without further stockholder action, to establish various series of preferred stock from time to time and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of any unissued series including, among other matters, any dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms, the number of shares constituting any such series, and the description thereof and to issue any such shares. There are no issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders identified below of 231,454,572 shares of our common stock.

We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares of common stock for resale from time to time. The registration of such common stock does not necessarily mean, however, that any of the shares of common stock will be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders, and we have borne and will continue to bear the costs relating to the registration of these shares of common stock, other than commissions and discounts of agents or broker-dealers and transfer taxes, if any.

Except as disclosed in the footnotes below and except for the beneficial ownership of the common stock described in the table below, none of the Selling Stockholders has held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. Except as disclosed in the footnotes below, no Selling Stockholder had a material relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates within the last three years.

The following table and the accompanying footnotes are based in part on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders. The table and footnotes assume that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the shares listed. However, because the Selling Stockholders may sell none of their shares or sell all or some of their shares under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the Selling Stockholders or that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of any sales. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them.

Beneficial ownership has been determined under rules promulgated by the SEC. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Shares of common stock subject to options currently exercisable and convertible securities currently convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days after the date of this prospectus, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by the person or entity holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by any other person or entity. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below. Please carefully read the footnotes located below the table in conjunction with the information presented in the table.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

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

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

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

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

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

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

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

Our common stock is quoted on OTCQB under the symbol “RZLT”.

PART II – INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The fees and expenses to be paid in connection with the distribution of securities being registered hereby are estimated as follows:

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides, as permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they (i) violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) acted, or failed to act, in good faith, (iii) acted with intentional misconduct, (iv) knowingly or intentionally violated the law, (v) authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or (vi) derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

Our Bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware General Corporation Law would permit indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers.

The limitations of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our stockholders and us. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In the past three years we have offered and sold the following securities in unregistered transactions pursuant to exemptions under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
