forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are described above under the heading “Risk
Factors.” Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor,
or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Company Overview
Champions Oncology,
Inc. is engaged in the development and sale of advanced technology solutions and products to personalize the development and use
of oncology drugs. The Company’s TumorGraft Technology Platform is a novel approach to personalizing cancer care,
based upon the implantation of human tumors in immune-deficient mice. The Company uses this technology, in conjunction
with related services, to offer solutions for two customer groups:
|
· |
Our Personalized Oncology Solutions, or “POS”, business, which provides services to physicians and patients looking for information to help guide the development of personalized treatment plans. |
|
· |
Our Translational Oncology Solutions, or “TOS”, business, which provides services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking personalized approaches to drug development that will lower costs and increase the speed of developing new drugs, as well as increase the adoption of existing drugs. |
TumorGraft Technology Platform
Our technology platform
consists of processes, physical tumors, and information that we use to personalize the development and use of oncology drugs. Our
process technology, which we call “TumorGrafts,” involves the:
|
· |
implantation of human tumor fragments in immune-deficient mice; |
|
· |
expansion of the original human tumor into a larger colony of mice through the passage of the tumor to a limited number of generations of mice; |
|
· |
treatment of the implanted mice with oncology drugs; and |
|
· |
measurement of tumor growth inhibition in treated mice relative to a control group of mice to determine the response of the tumor to the drug. |
Our process is used
for our POS business to test numerous drugs or drug combinations against a single patient’s tumor in the mice to determine
which therapy results in the most efficacious response from the tumor.
Our technology platform
also includes a bank of tumors that we have acquired, collected, processed, validated, and stored for use in our TOS business,
which we call our “TumorBank”. We implant these tumors in mice to provide pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies the opportunity to test oncology compounds on multiple tumors to test efficacy and simulate the results of human clinical
trials.
We are also developing
an extensive database of information about the tumors in our TumorBank. We expect that this database will include certain
information about the patient (e.g. age, gender), the response of the tumors to different oncology drugs or drug combinations,
mutational status of key oncogenes, and other genetic and epigenetic data about each tumor. Our intention is to use
this database to provide our pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers with information that may assist them with their drug development
process.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to
use TumorGrafts as a platform technology to drive multiple synergistic revenue streams. We continue to build this platform with
investments in research and development. Our goal is to populate our TumorBank and its related database with tumors and information
we receive from our POS business, research collaborations and validation studies. The tumors and information in the TumorBank are
then available for TOS studies. We believe that the result is well-differentiated products for patients, physicians, and drug development
companies. In addition, we are looking for additional opportunities to utilize the data we are gathering about the tumors to develop
proprietary biomarkers and signatures of response that can predict the resistance or sensitivity of individual patients to oncology
drugs.
Personalized Oncology Solutions Business
Our POS business offers
physicians and patients information to help guide the development of personalized treatment plans. Our core products,
TumorGraft implants and drug panels, previously known as studies, utilize TumorGraft technology to empirically test the response
of a patient’s tumor to multiple oncology drugs or drug combinations. The response of the tumors in the mice is
tracked over time and analyzed to determine which drug or drug combination is providing the highest level of tumor growth inhibition
in the mice. Our data, which is currently limited in nature, indicates that there may be a correlation between the response
to drugs of a tumor in a mouse with the response to drugs of a tumor in a patient.
In addition to our
core TumorGraft POS products, we offer non-core related POS products to our customers, including personalized tumor boards,
previously known as tumor panels, and gene sequencing. Personalized tumor boards are designed to provide access to oncologists
with expertise in particular tumor types. We also provide access to gene sequencing that analyzes the genetic makeup
of patient’s tumor for the purpose of identifying potentially useful drugs. We will continue to offer related personal oncology
products to our customers; however, we expect future POS revenues to be driven by our core products.
We rely on the internet,
word of mouth, and a small sales force to market these services to patients and physicians.
Translational Oncology Solutions Business
Our TOS business utilizes
our technology platform to assist pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with their drug development process. We
provide studies, or license tumors for use in studies, that we believe may predict the efficacy of experimental oncology drugs
or approved drugs as stand-alone therapies or in combination with other drugs and can stimulate the results of human clinical trials. These
studies include in vivo studies that rely on implanting multiple tumors from our TumorBank in mice and testing the therapy of interest
on these tumors. Studies may also include bioinformatics analyses that reveal the differences in the genetic signatures
of the tumors that responded to a therapy as compared to the tumors that did not respond. Our studies can be used to
determine which types of cancer, if any, may be inhibited by a drug. The studies can also be used to identify specific
sub-populations, often characterized by particular genetic mutations that are differentially sensitive or resistant to a drug or
drug combination. These studies, used in pre-clinical testing or during phase I or II of a clinical trial, can help
guide the clinical development path of new compounds or find new indications or combinations for compounds that are already approved
by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. We believe that the results may lead to lower costs and shorter timeframes
for drug development.
Our sales and marketing
efforts are dependent on a dedicated sales force that sells directly to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Risk Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject
to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following
this prospectus summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
| · | We historically incurred losses from operating activities, expect losses for the foreseeable future,
require significant capital and may never achieve profitability. |
| · | We may not be able to maintain or increase our revenues due to our reduction in POS service prices,
the length of time it takes to conduct TumorGrafts, the uncertainty of whether TumorGrafts will successfully implant and the limited
information about the correlation between the response to drugs of a tumor in mice with the response to those drugs of the tumor
in patients. |
| · | Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the FDA's regulations. |
| · | Our laboratory is subject to regulation and licensure requirements, and the healthcare industry
is highly regulated; we may face substantial penalties, and our business activities may be impacted, if we fail to comply. |
| · | If our laboratory facility is damaged or destroyed, we have a dispute with our landlord, or our
mice population has a health crisis, our business would be negatively affected. |
| · | We have limited experience marketing and selling our products and may need to rely on third
parties to successfully market and sell our products and generate revenues. |
| · | We will continue to be dependent upon key employees. |
| · | Because our industry is very competitive and many of our competitors have substantially greater
capital resources and more experience in research and development, we may not succeed in selling or increasing sales of our products
and technologies. |
| · | If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete as effectively. |
| · | Claims by others that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights
could adversely affect our financial condition. |
| · | Insiders own a significant amount of the outstanding common stock. |

RISK FACTORS
Any investment in
our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated
by reference in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended April 30, 2015, incorporated by reference herein, and as updated in our subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. Our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. This prospectus also contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face as described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any
proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling security holders. A portion of the shares covered by this prospectus
are issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase our common stock. Upon any exercise of the warrants for cash, the selling security
holders would pay us the exercise price of the warrants. Under certain conditions set forth in the warrants, the warrants are exercisable
on a cashless basis. If the warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from the selling
security holders upon any exercise of the warrants. Instead, the selling security holders would satisfy their obligation to pay
the exercise price through a formula-based transfer of warrant shares to us. The additional proceeds we could receive from the
exercise of such warrants have not yet been earmarked for any specific use beyond working capital needs because there is no certainty
that we will ever receive any proceeds from the exercise of such warrants.
The selling security holders
will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling security holders for brokerage, accounting,
tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling security holders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all
other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
The following information
sets forth the high and low quotation price for our common stock for each quarter within the last two fiscal years. Our
common stock, CSBR, is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital market. The quotations represent prices between dealers and
do not reflect the retailer markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions. Prior to being
listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock traded over-the-counter and was quoted on the electronic Bulletin Board maintained
by the National Association of Securities Dealers. Our securities were classified as “penny stocks” as defined by existing
securities laws. This classification placed significant restrictions upon broker-dealers desiring to make a market in
such securities. The price range per share reflected in the table below is the high and low sales prices of our common
stock for the periods presented. Through the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2016, the historical trading prices represented are before
the reverse stock split on August 11, 2015.

* Closing price reflects a 1-for-12
reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected on August 11, 2015 and the listing of the Company’s common
stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 21, 2015.
The closing price of
our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 21, 2015 was $7.30 per share. As of September 21, 2015, there were approximately
2,100 record holders of the Company’s common stock.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
When we refer to “selling
security holders” in this prospectus, we mean those persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, permitted
transferees, assignees, successors, and others who later come to hold any of the selling security holders’ interests in shares
of our common stock other than through a public sale.
This prospectus relates
to the offering and sale, from time to time, of up to 4,555,846 shares of our common stock, which amount includes 1,616,594 shares
of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by the selling security holders. The selling security holders may exercise
their warrants at any time in their sole discretion.
On March 11, 2015,
the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement (the “2015 Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain accredited investors in connection with our private placement sale of 2,939,252
units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and a warrant to buy 0.55 shares
of common stock at $5.76 per share, at a purchase price of $4.80 per unit, for an aggregate of approximately $14,000,000 (net proceeds
of approximately $13 million, which included the conversion of $2 million in convertible notes issued in December 2014). This transaction
closed on March 13, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we agreed to register a secondary offering
on such selling security holders’ behalf, all of the securities sold under the 2015 Securities Purchase Agreement.
We are registering the
following shares of common stock:
|
• |
up to 2,939,252 shares of common stock issued to the selling security holders in the registrant’s private placement offering closed on March 13, 2015; and |
|
• |
up to 1,616,594 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to the selling security holders in the private placement offering closed on March 13, 2015. |
The selling security holders
may sell some, all or none of their shares. We do not know how long the selling security holders will hold the shares offered hereunder
before selling them. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling security holders regarding
the sale of any of the shares by them other than the 2015 Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. The shares offered
by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling security holders. The selling security holders may have sold
or transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of their shares since
the date on which the information in the table is presented. Information about the selling security holders may change over time.
The information set forth
below is based on information known to us. The following table sets forth the name of each selling security holder, the number
of shares owned by such selling security holder (including shares underlying warrants) as of July 31, 2015, the number of shares
that may be offered under this prospectus by such selling security holder, and the number of shares of our common stock and the
percentage (if one percent or more) of our common stock to be owned by such selling security holder after completion of this offering,
assuming that all shares offered hereunder are sold as contemplated herein. The number of shares in the column “Shares of
Common Stock That May Be Offered in the Offering” represents all of the shares that a selling security holder may offer under
this prospectus, which includes the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants covered by this prospectus. Except as otherwise
disclosed in this prospectus, none of the selling security holders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office
or other material relationship with us. The selling security holders have advised us that they may enter into short sales in the
ordinary course of their business of investing and trading securities. Other than the costs of preparing and providing this prospectus
and a registration fee to the SEC, we are not paying any costs relating to the sales by the selling security holders.
Ownership reflected in
this table for each selling security holder is based upon information provided to us by the selling security holder and reflects
holdings as of July 31, 2015. The percentages of common stock owned after the offering are based on 8,702,237 shares of our
common stock outstanding as of August 31, 2015, including the shares of common stock issued in the private placements. Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. In computing the number
of shares owned by and the percentage ownership of a selling security holder, shares of common stock that could be issued upon
the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights held by that selling security holder that are currently exercisable
or exercisable within 60 days of July 31, 2015 are considered outstanding.
Unless otherwise noted,
each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property
laws where applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
As of August 31, 2015,
our authorized capital stock consisted of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of August 31, 2015,
there are 8,702,237 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
On August 11, 2015,
the Registrant filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware that effected a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share amounts
and stock prices relating to our common stock have been given effect for the 1-for-12 reverse split of our shares of common stock.
Common Stock
Holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Holders of our
common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally
available funds. However, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion
of the company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all
of our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of or provision for all liabilities.
Stock Options
As of August 31, 2015
we had 2,014,507 stock options issued and outstanding, of which 1,556,788 are exercisable, with a weighted average exercise price
of $5.72 per share.
Warrants
As of August 31, 2015
we had 2,109,846 warrants outstanding, all of which are exercisable, with a weighted average exercise price of $5.82 per share.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Delaware Law
We are subject to Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business
combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless:
|
● |
prior to such date, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
● |
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
|
● |
on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines
a business combination to include:
|
● |
any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
|
● |
any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; |
|
● |
subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
|
● |
any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or |
|
● |
the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section
203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of a corporation, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of a corporation at any time within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status;
and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
These statutory provisions
could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of our company. They could also discourage,
impede, or prevent a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interests of stockholders.
Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
Our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals
or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable.
In particular, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as applicable, among other things:
| · | provide our board of directors with the ability to alter its bylaws without stockholder approval;
and |
| · | provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office,
although less than a quorum. |
Such provisions may have the effect of
discouraging a third-party from acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions are intended
to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated
by them, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change in control of our company.
These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage some tactics
that may be used in proxy fights. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with
the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging
such proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
However, these provisions
could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares that could result from actual or rumored
takeover attempts. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent
and registrar for our common stock is Mountain Share Transfer, LLC.
Listing
The shares of our common
stock are currently quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which
the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| 1. | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| 2. | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| 3. | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| 4. | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| 5. | privately negotiated transactions; |
| 7. | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per
share; |
| 8. | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| 9. | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders
may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged
by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary
in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal
might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar
selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may
agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities
are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
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 after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or 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 and may sell the shares of common stock from
time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or 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
and any broker-dealers or agent that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to
pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders
have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers
regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with
a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement
to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers
Section 145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification
only extends to expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions,
and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by
a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, each person that such section grants us the power to
indemnify.
The Delaware General
Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not
be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability for:
| · | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; |
| · | acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law; |
| · | payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or |
| · | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
The Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of our directors
will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal
or modification of this provision will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of
a director of our company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered
Securities
On March 11, 2015,
the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate 2,939,252
units (adjusted for the reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effected on August 11, 2015), each unit consisting
of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and a warrant to purchase 0.55 shares of common stock
for each share purchased, for approximately $14,000,000. After giving effect to the 1-for-12 reverse split of the Company’s
common stock effected on August 11, 2015, the per unit price in connection with this private placement was $4.80 per unit and the
warrants had an exercise price equal to $5.76 per share. This private placement transaction closed on March 13, 2015 (the “March
2015 Private Placement”). These warrants expire five years after the closing date. As part of this $14 million transaction,
Mr. Ackerman and Dr. Morris converted convertible promissory notes dated December 1, 2014 in the principal amounts of $1 million
each, plus accrued interest, into the units at a 5% discount, pursuant to the terms of the convertible promissory notes, and received,
after giving effect to the Company’s reverse split of its common stock, 225,877 units each. Additionally, the Investors will
have the right to require the Company to repurchase the purchased shares (the “2015 Private Placement Put Option”)
for cash for $4.80 per share (as adjusted for the Company’s reverse split of its common stock) upon a change of control or
sale or exclusive license of substantially all of the Company’s assets approved by the Company’s board of directors.
The Private Placement Put Option will terminate upon the achievement of certain financial and other milestones. The March 2015
Private Placement investors have certain participation rights with respect to future financings of the Company. The Company covenanted
to register the resale of the shares of common stock to be issued to the investors and the shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the warrants pursuant to a 2015 Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, and to pay certain liquidated damages
if the Company fails to file such registration statement by a certain deadline, have it declared effective by a certain deadline
or keep it effective for a certain period of time. The issuance of the shares of common stock and the warrants will result in the
Company issuing 188,704 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Company’s reverse split of its common stock) to investors
who purchased shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 24, 2011 (the “2011 Securities
Purchase Agreement”) due to contractual anti-dilution provisions in that 2011 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company
also agreed to amend and restate the 2011 Securities Purchase Agreement to eliminate these anti-dilution provisions going forward,
and conform aspects of the put option in that 2011 Securities Purchase Agreement to the Put Option in the 2015 Securities Purchase
Agreement.

* Filed herewith
** Portions of this exhibit have been omitted
and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus
required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);
(ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose
of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part
of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses
filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issuer.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Hackensack, New Jersey, on September 25, 2015
