(1)

This Registration Statement relates to the registration of shares on behalf of the stockholders named herein, pursuant to registration rights granted in prior offerings of our securities (common stock and warrants). The registration of these shares is to permit resale by such stockholders from time to time after the date of this Registration Statement, but it does not mean that any or all of such stockholders will sell any of these shares or indicate how long such stockholders will hold any of these shares. We have not solicited interest from nor do we have any agreements with any of such stockholders regarding their sale of any of these shares. We will not receive any proceeds from sales of these shares by such stockholders. We are not issuing and selling any shares in the offering described herein, and accordingly, there will be no change to the number of our shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis in connection with the offering.

   
(2) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement will cover such indeterminate number of shares of the registrant’s common stock that may be issued with respect to stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions.
   
(3)

Represents (i) 69,115,849 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, and (ii) 98,614,387 shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants.

   
(4) Estimated solely for purposes of computing the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, computed based upon the average of the bid and ask price per share of our common stock on December 11, 2018 on the OTCQB.
   
(5) This amount represents the maximum aggregate value of the shares of our common stock covered by this Registration Statement.

 

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

 

 

 

 
 

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment No. 1”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-228826) of Cardax, Inc. (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed solely for the purpose of filing certain exhibits as indicated in Part II of this Amendment No. 1.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

 

The following table sets forth the costs and expenses expected to be incurred by Cardax, Inc. (the “Registrant”) in connection with this offering described in this registration statement. All amounts shown are estimates, except the SEC registration fee.

 

Item  Amount to be
Paid
 
SEC registration fee  $4,065.78 
Legal fees and expenses   25,000 
Accounting fees and expenses   5,000 
Printing and engraving expenses   5,000

Blue sky fees and expenses   5,000 
Miscellaneous   5,000 
      
Total  $54,065.78 

 

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws limit our directors’ and officers’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware corporate law. Specifically, our directors and officers are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by a director or officer, except for liability:

 

  for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
     
  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
     
  under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
     
  for any transaction from which a director or officer derives an improper personal benefit.

 

If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of our directors or officers shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

 

The provision regarding indemnification of our directors and officers in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation generally does not limit liability under state or federal securities laws.

 

Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will, in certain situations, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of that person’s former or present official capacity with our Company against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees. Any person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation 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 us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to Delaware law, we are informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

 

All financial statement schedules are included in the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, or are inapplicable or otherwise not required.

 

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, as amended (the “Act”);

 

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(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 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) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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 issue.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the 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.
