Preliminary Prospectus Subject to Completion, dated November 1, 2024

ACLARION, INC.

Up to 27,515,153 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and resale, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of 27,515,153 shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, consisting of, (a) up to 21,830,104 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Series C Convertible Preferred Stock") and (b) up to 5,685,049 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the "Common Warrants"), each sold in a private investment in public equity financing (the "PIPE Offering") pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 30, 2024 (the "2024 SPA"), by and between us and the purchasers named therein (the "Selling Stockholders").

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus, and we will not receive proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Common Warrants, which, if exercised in cash at the current applicable exercise price, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $1.2 million.

We will pay the expenses of registering the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be paid by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may sell our shares of common stock offered by this prospectus from time to time on terms to be determined at the time of sale through ordinary brokerage transactions or through any other means described in this prospectus under "Plan of Distribution." The prices at which the Selling Stockholders may sell shares will be determined by the prevailing market price for our common stock or in negotiated transactions.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ACON." On October 31, 2024 the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, was $0.1841 per share. Our warrants offered in connection with our initial public offering (the "IPO Warrants") are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ACONW." The last reported sale price of our IPO Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 31, 2024 was $0.0277 per IPO Warrant.

We have received deficiency letters from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq's (i) minimum bid price requirement of at least $1.00 per share (the "Bid Price Requirement") and (ii) requirement to have at least $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement").

On April 8, 2024, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Bid Price Notice"). The Bid Price Notice did not result in the immediate delisting of the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Bid Price Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days (or until October 7, 2024) in which to regain compliance. We did not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period on October 7, 2024. On October 8, 2024, we received from the Nasdaq staff (the "Staff") written notification that our securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

At the Company's special stockholders' meeting on September 23, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to grant discretionary authority to our board of directors to (i) amend our certificate of incorporation to combine outstanding shares of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares, or a "reverse stock split," at a specific ratio within a range of one-for-five (1-for-5) to a maximum of a one-for-fifty (1-for-50) split, with the exact ratio to be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion; and (ii) effect the reverse stock split, if at all, within one year of the date the proposal was approved by stockholders. The Company intends to implement a reverse stock split in the near future in order to assist with the Company's compliance with Nasdaq's Bid Price Requirement.

On August 22, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that it was not in compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. In its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported stockholders' equity of $1,642,177, and, as a result, did not satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Accordingly, the Staff had determined to delist the Company's common stock from Nasdaq. Nasdaq's letter provided us until August 29, 2024 to request an appeal of this determination.

We have appealed both of these matters to a Nasdaq hearing panel (the "Panel"). The hearing request stays any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. We had an appeal hearing on October 10, 2024 before the Panel to appeal the delisting notices from the Staff. The Panel has granted the Company an extension until November 21, 2024 to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. As noted above, we plan to implement a reverse stock split in the near future in order to assist with the Company's compliance with Nasdaq's Bid Price Requirement. The Company also is working to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement as requested by the Panel. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company's common stock will be stayed. Our common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues its final written determination.

The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. The Company is currently evaluating its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement.

The Company's receipt of these letters from Nasdaq does not affect the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference herein. In particular, attention should be directed to our "Risk Factors" and the financial statements and related notes thereto contained herein or otherwise incorporated by reference hereto, before making an investment decision.

As used herein, and any amendment or supplement hereto, unless otherwise indicated, "we," "us," "our," the "Company," or "Aclarion" means Aclarion, Inc.

Overview

Aclarion is a healthcare technology company that leverages Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ("MRS"), and a proprietary biomarker to optimize clinical treatments. Aclarion's technology addresses the $134.5B U.S. low back and neck pain market, which according to a 2020 JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) article is now the most costly healthcare condition in the United States. The Company is currently utilizing Artificial Intelligence ("AI") to assist in quality control processes that flag spectroscopy data indicative of a poor MRS study. The use of AI in this application is early in its development cycle and is expected to evolve with further research and development. The Company is also researching the application of AI and machine learning platforms to analyze both the raw spectroscopy data and the post-processed signal to evaluate whether AI platforms can more efficiently and more effectively associate MRS data with clinical outcomes. The use of AI in this application is aspirational and we intend this type of AI research and development to be an ongoing process applied not only to the various treatment paths associated with back pain, such as conservative therapies, regenerative and cell therapies and surgical intervention, but also to potentially expand into other clinical explorations involving the diagnosis of brain, breast and prostate tumors.

The Company, which has limited sales to date, is addressing this market by initially focusing on improving the outcomes of surgical interventions to treat low back pain. In this initial application, Aclarion technology is intended to assist surgeons in determining the optimal surgical procedure for a patient undergoing surgery for pain isolated to their lumbar spine (the "lumbar spine" is comprised of the five (5) lower vertebrae, L-1 to L-5). We then intend to add additional applications of our technology targeting the management of large segments of low back pain patients from the point of initial Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") through to episode resolution. We believe this will expand the use of our technology to low back pain patients undergoing conservative therapies such as physical therapy or biologic and cell therapies aimed at regenerating the lumbar discs. We plan to expand the application of our technology beyond the lumbar spine to address neck pain populations in addition to low back pain populations. To expand the application of our technology for use in neck pain populations, we will need to overcome technical changes associated with securing adequate MRS data from the cervical disc, which is significantly smaller than the lumbar disc, and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to overcome these challenges.

The core technology Aclarion employs is MRS. The patient experience when undergoing an MRS exam is exactly like that of a standard MRI, with the exception of an additional 3-5 minutes for each disc undergoing a spectroscopy exam. Whereas a standard MRI produces a signal that is converted into anatomical images, an MRS produces a signal that is converted into a waveform that identifies the chemical composition of tissues. Just like with standard MRI's, the data from spectroscopy is useless without technologies that can process the data. Aclarion has developed proprietary signal processing software that transforms spectroscopy data into clear biomarkers. These biomarkers, which are exclusively licensed from the Regents of University of California, San Francisco ("UCSF"), are the key data inputs for our proprietary algorithms that, when applied, determine if an intervertebral disc is consistent with pain. Our patent portfolio includes 23 U.S. Patents, 17 Foreign Patents, 6 pending U.S. patent applications, and 7 pending Foreign patent applications, including patents and patent applications exclusively licensed from Regents of the University of California.

We believe one of the biggest issues driving the cost of treating low back and neck pain patients to the top of the list for healthcare spending is that there is no objective, cost effective and noninvasive diagnostics to reliably identify the source of a patient's pain. We believe the poor surgical outcomes for Discogenic Low Back Pain ("DLBP") are largely due to difficulties in reliably and accurately diagnosing the specific spinal discs that are causing pain. The current primary diagnostic standard is the MRI, which is useful for showing abnormal structures and tissue dehydration, but, we believe, cannot reliably identify specific discs that are causing pain. To diagnose specific discs that are causing pain, a needle-based Provocation Discogram test ("PD Test") has been developed. PD Tests have been shown to be highly accurate when performed properly. However, a PD Test is invasive, subjective and unpleasant for the patient as the patient needs to be awake in order to tell the physician if the pain the physician is purposefully causing in the disc is the same as the pain the patient feels when they are experiencing a back pain episode. In addition, recent evidence has shown that the action of inserting a needle into a normal disc during a discogram procedure leads to an increased rate of degeneration in these previously normal discs. Based on the limitations and concerns of the PD Test, we believe there is a significant need for an objective, accurate, personalized and noninvasive diagnostic test that can reliably determine if an individual disc is a pain generator. By providing physicians information about whether a disc has the chemical and structural makeup consistent with pain or not, we believe the treatment plan for each patient will lead to more efficient and targeted care that, will in turn, result in lower costs and healthier patient outcomes.

Aclarion has taken the first steps to demonstrate the potential use of our technology in helping to improve the outcome of surgical intervention for DLBP patients by publishing a clinical study (Gornet et al) in the European Spine Journal in April 2019. The study illustrated that when all discs identified as consistent with pain by our technology were included in a surgical treatment, 97% of the patients met the criteria for "clinical improvement". This compared to only 54% of patients meeting the criteria for clinical improvement if a disc that our technology identified as consistent with pain, was not included in the surgical treatment.

The results of this clinical study led the CPT committee to approve four Category III codes for our technology in January 2021. The NIH also included our technology as one of the handful of technologies selected to participate in their $150 million Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, an NIH translational, patient-centered effort to address the need for effective and personalized therapies for chronic low back pain.

In April 2023, Aclarion advanced the evidence of our technology with a peer-reviewed journal article detailing the Gornet 2-year outcomes, published in the European Spine Journal. The 2-year outcomes were durable with 1-year outcomes previously published in 2019. At 2-years follow-up, 85% of patients improved when disc(s) identified as consistent with pain by our technology were included in a surgical treatment, compared to only 63% of patients when disc(s) identified as consistent with pain were not treated or disc(s) identified as consistent without pain were treated.

Recent Developments

Private Placement of Preferred Stock and Common Warrants

On September 30, 2024, we entered into the 2024 SPA with the Selling Stockholders for a convertible preferred stock and warrants financing. At the closing, we issued 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1759 per share of common stock. The Company also issued the Common Warrants exercisable for 5,685,049 shares of common stock with a 5.5 year term.

The Common Warrants are exercisable beginning April 1, 2025 for $0.1759 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, including with respect to stock dividends, splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions and a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrant) and until April 1, 2030 (the "Expiration Date"). The exercise of the Warrants are subject to beneficial ownership limitations.

In connection with the PIPE Offering, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, dated September 30, 2024 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we shall file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with the SEC no later than the 30th calendar day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the 60th calendar day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

· inclusion of only two years, as compared to three years, of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure;
· an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act");
· an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") requiring mandatory audit firm rotation;
· reduced disclosure about executive compensation arrangements; and
· an exemption from the requirement to seek non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

We may take advantage of these provisions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our April 2022 IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31st, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

We have taken advantage of the reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

We are also a "smaller reporting company" meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe in any accompanying prospectus or any future prospectus supplement, as well as in any related free writing prospectus for a specific offering of securities, and the risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus or such prospectus supplement, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein. You should also carefully consider other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including our financial statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described in the applicable prospectus supplement and our other filings with the SEC incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect us. If any of the described risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. In such case, the value of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Use of Proceeds

We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. However, we may receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Common Warrants, which, if exercised in cash at the current exercise price with respect to all Common Warrants, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $2.31 million. The proceeds from such Common Warrant exercises, if any, will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We cannot predict when or whether the Common Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that some or all of the Common Warrants may expire unexercised. For information about the Selling Stockholders, see "Selling Stockholders."

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders for brokerage or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in disposing of the shares of common stock offered hereby. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock may also be limited by the terms of any future debt or preferred securities or future credit facility.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The Selling Stockholders acquired the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Warrants from us in an private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Rule 506 under Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Common Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Warrants, see "Prospectus Summary-Recent Developments-Private Placement of Preferred Stock and Common Warrants" above.

We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders, based on its ownership of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Warrants, as of October 21, 2024, assuming conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Common Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion and exercise set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Warrants.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders (without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation related thereto or exercise of the Common Warrants set forth therein).

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) 250% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the preferred stock are convertible at the alternate conversion price, (y) dividends on the preferred stock shall accrue through the second anniversary of the issuance thereof and will be converted in shares of common stock at a dividend conversion price equal to the Dividend Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) assuming an Dividend Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as of the date hereof and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designation related thereto) and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Warrants were converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Common Warrants or conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Because the conversion price and alternate conversion price of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Common Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants held by Selling Stockholders, a Selling Stockholder may not convert any Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise any Common Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage"), of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which have not been converted or exercise of the Common Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations, however, the fourth column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders

On October 9, 2023, WLC and we entered into an equity line purchase agreement (the "Equity Line Purchase Agreement") and concurrently with the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, WLC and we entered into a registration rights agreement (the "WLC RRA"), pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of stock issuable under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to require WLC to purchase, from time to time, up to $10,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Equity Line Purchase Agreement.

On May 16, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 16, 2023 (the "2023 SPA") with Cavalry and WVP (together, the "Investors") for an unsecured non-convertible note financing. The Company received $1,250,000 of gross proceeds in connection with the first tranche closing of this financing and issued (i) 339,360 shares of common stock (the "Commitment Shares"); and, (ii) 1,232,156 five year Common Warrants to purchase 1,232,156 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price, subject to adjustment, of $0.6262 per share. The Commitment Shares were issued as a Commitment Fee to the Investors, and the Common Warrants were issued in connection with the associated purchase of $1,437,500 in promissory notes by the Investors. The Common Warrants are immediately exercisable for $0.6262 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, including with respect to stock dividends, splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions and a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrant) and until the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date (the "Expiration Date"). The Pre-Funded Warrants became exercisable on November 16, 2023 for $0.01 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, including with respect to stock dividends, splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions and a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise of the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to beneficial ownership limitations. In connection with the 2023 SPA, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, dated May 16, 2023.

Other than in connection with the transactions described above and elsewhere in this registration statement, we have not had any material relationships with the Selling Stockholders in the last three (3) years.

Plan of Distribution

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the Common Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus.

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, quotation service or market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
· in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; or
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in 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 securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities 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 securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities 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 create one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Common Warrants or 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 pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, 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 securities in other circumstances, including, without limitation, if a selling stockholder is an entity, through an in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement, in which case the transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by the selling stockholders that a transferee, pledgee, donee or other successor in interest intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling stockholder.

11

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $40,000 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of the date that the securities (i) have been sold, pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, any volume or manner-of-sale limitations) and without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act). All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, although we will receive the exercise price of any Common Warrants not exercised by the selling stockholders on a cashless exercise basis.

We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the shares of common stock offered hereby. We are registering the resale of shares of our common stock to provide the selling stockholders with freely tradable securities, but the registration of such shares does not necessarily mean that any of such shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or at all.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

Description of CAPITAL STOCK

The following description is intended as a summary of our certificate of incorporation (which we refer to as our "charter") and our bylaws, each of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Because the following is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our charter and bylaws.

We have two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Our shares of common stock are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the trading symbol "ACON." Our IPO Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the trading symbol "ACONW."

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Market, Symbol and Transfer Agent

Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ACON". The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC.

Preferred Stock

Our board will have the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon our liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or other corporate action.

We issued 930 shares of newly issued Series C convertible preferred stock on August 14, 2024. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.234 per share of common stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

We issued 1,000 shares of newly issued Series C convertible preferred stock on September 30, 2024. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1759 per share of common stock.

Holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends in the amount of 10% per annum, payable quarterly. We have the option to pay dividends on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in additional shares of common stock. If we elect to pay in the form of common stock, the number of dividend shares to be issued shall be calculated by using a "Dividend Conversion Price" equal to the lower of (i) the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as in effect on the applicable dividend date, or (ii) 90% of the lowest volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading day period ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the applicable dividend date. We also have the option to cumulate or "capitalize" the dividends, in which case the accrued dividend amount shall be added to the stated value of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

The stated value of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (including all the unpaid dividends and other amounts payable on the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock) will be convertible into common stock at an initial fixed Conversion Price of $0.1759 per share of common stock. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may also be converted into shares of common stock at our option if the closing price of the common stock exceeds 300% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive trading days.

The Conversion Price of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock splits or combinations, certain dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution of our common stock or in the event that we grant, issue or sell (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or are deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of common stock for a consideration per share (the "New Issuance Price") less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive Issuance") Immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.

The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except as may otherwise be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of our Charter and our Bylaws

Certain provisions of the DGCL and of our charter and our bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

· before the stockholder became interested, our Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
· upon consummation of the transaction which 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 voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
· at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
16

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

· any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
· any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, exchange, mortgage or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
· subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to 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 the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Board Composition and Filling Vacancies

Our charter provides that stockholders may remove directors only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock. Our charter and bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors may only be set by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Our charter and bylaws provide that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions and would prevent the amendment of our bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders.

Meetings of Stockholders

Our charter and bylaws provide that only a majority of the members of our Board then in office, our Executive Chairman or our Chief Executive Officer may call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

17

Amendment to our Charter and Bylaws

The DGCL, provides, generally, that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of our board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an annual election of directors. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an election of directors is required to amend or repeal or to adopt certain provisions of our charter.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

Our charter provides for 20,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our stockholders, our board could cause shares of convertible preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, our charter grants our board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.

Choice of Forum

Our charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings: any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our charter also provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Despite the fact that the certificate of incorporation provides for this exclusive forum provision to be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Section 27 of the Exchange Act, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and Section 22 of the Securities Act, creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, this provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a Delaware court would enforce the exclusive federal forum provisions for Securities Act claims and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and regulations thereunder.

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

Nasdaq-Listed IPO Warrants

Each IPO Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.35 (pre-split), or $69.60 (after giving effect to our January 3, 2024 reverse stock split). The IPO Warrants are exercisable beginning April 21, 2022, will terminate on the 5th anniversary date the IPO Warrants are first exercisable. The exercise price and number of shares for which each IPO Warrant may be exercised is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock.

18

Holders of the IPO Warrants may exercise their IPO Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock on or before the termination date by delivering an exercise notice, appropriately completed and duly signed. Payment of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the IPO Warrants is being exercised must be made within two trading days following such exercise. In the event that the registration statement relating to the IPO Warrant shares (the "IPO Warrant Shares") is not effective, a holder of IPO Warrants may only exercise its IPO Warrants for a net number of IPO Warrant Shares pursuant to the cashless exercise procedures specified in the IPO Warrants. IPO Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part, and any portion of an IPO Warrant not exercised prior to the termination date shall be and become void and of no value. The absence of an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration does not alleviate our obligation to deliver common stock issuable upon exercise of an IPO Warrant.

Upon the holder's exercise of an IPO Warrant, we will issue the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the IPO Warrant within three trading days of our receipt of notice of exercise, subject to timely payment of the aggregate exercise price therefor.

The shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the IPO Warrants will be, when issued in accordance with the IPO Warrants, duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable. We will authorize and reserve at least that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding warrants.

If, at any time an IPO Warrant is outstanding, we consummate any fundamental transaction, as described in the IPO Warrants and generally including any consolidation or merger into another corporation, the consummation of a transaction whereby another entity acquires more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other transaction in which our common stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities or other consideration, the holder of any IPO Warrants will thereafter receive upon exercise of the IPO Warrants, the securities or other consideration to which a holder of the number of shares of common stock then deliverable upon the exercise or conversion of such IPO Warrants would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger or other transaction.

The IPO Warrants are not exercisable by their holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that such holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of our common stock.

Amendments and waivers of the terms of the IPO Warrants require the written consent of the holder of such IPO Warrants and us. The IPO Warrants were issued in book-entry form under a warrant agent agreement between V-Stock Transfer Company, Inc. as warrant agent, and us, and shall initially be represented by one or more book-entry certificates deposited with The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

You should review a copy of the warrant agent agreement and the form of the IPO Warrants, each of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Transfer Agent, Registrar, Warrant Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and the warrant agent for our IPO Warrants is VStock Transfer LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598.

19

Other Outstanding Warrants

As of October 28, 2024, after giving effect to our January 3, 2024 reverse stock split, we had 16,597,689 other outstanding common stock warrants (in addition to our IPO Warrants described above). The terms of these warrants are (i) 123,566 warrants with a per share exercise price of $0.29 and expiring 2028, (ii) 26,673 warrants with a per share exercise price of $69.60 and expiring 2027, (iii) 1,576 warrants with a per share exercise price of $0.0002 and expiring 2028, (iv) 400,000 warrants with a per share exercise price of $0.1759 and expiring 2029, (v) 10,350,000 warrants issued as part of a February 2024 public offering, with a per share exercise price of $0.58 and expiring 2029, and (vi) 5,685,049 warrants issued as part of a September 2024 private placement, with a per share exercise price of $0.1759 and expiring 2030.

The per share exercise price of the warrants described in clause (i) and (ii) above is subject to a "full ratchet" adjustment if the Company issues securities at an effective per share price lower than the then effective warrant exercise price.

These warrants have a net exercise provision under which its holder may, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of shares based on the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of exercise of the warrant after deduction of a number of shares equal in value to the aggregate exercise price. The warrants contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations, reclassifications and consolidations.

In connection with our April 2022 IPO, we issued a warrant (the "IPO Representative's Warrant"), which enables our IPO underwriter to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,825 post-split shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to $87.04 per share. The IPO Representative's Warrant may be exercised beginning on October 26, 2022 until April 26, 2027.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

We are paying all expenses of the offering. The following table sets forth all expenses to be paid by the registrant. All amounts shown are estimates except for the registration fee.

Amount
SEC registration fee $ 789.65
Accounting fees and expenses 15,000.00
Legal fees and expenses 20,000.00
Miscellaneous fees and expenses 4,210.35
Total $ 40,000.00

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he 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, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person 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 provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. We maintain policies insuring our officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

23

Article XI of the bylaws of the Company contains provisions which are designed to provide mandatory indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to the full extent permitted by law, as now in effect or later amended. The bylaws further provide that, if and to the extent required by the DGCL, an advance payment of expenses to a director or officer of the Company that is entitled to indemnification will only be made upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) 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;

(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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; provided, however , that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the 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 Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; 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 effective date, 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 effective date.

25

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
