Up to $3.25 million
Common Shares
On April 5, 2019, we amended our sales agreement dated November 30, 2018 (as so amended and as may be amended from time to time after the date of this supplement, the “Sales Agreement”), with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, or A.G.P., relating to our common shares (par value of CHF 0.02 per common share) offered by the prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2018 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the accompanying prospectus dated November 14, 2018 (the “Original Base Prospectus”), which Original Base Prospectus was amended and supplemented by the prospectus dated March 27, 2019 (the “New Base Prospectus”), constituting a part of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-228121), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2019.
The Original Base Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by the New Base Prospectus, is referred to as the “Base Prospectus,” and the “Base Prospectus,” as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, is referred to as the “Prospectus.” This Supplement No. 1 dated April 5, 2019 (this “Supplement”), supplements, modifies and supersedes certain information contained in the Prospectus only to the extent indicated herein and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this Supplement, you should rely on the information in this Supplement. This Supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the Prospectus. Any information that is modified or superseded in the Prospectus shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the Prospectus, except as modified or superseded by this Supplement.
In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell through the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by this Supplement (together, the “Supplemented Prospectus”), common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $3.25 million from time to time through A.G.P., acting as our sales agent. As of the date of this Supplement, we previously have sold 2,595,814 of our common shares for an aggregate offering price of approximately $1.3 million pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the Prospectus. As a result of such prior sales, as of the date of this Supplement, common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to approximately $1.95 million remain available for offer and sale under the Sales Agreement pursuant to the Supplemented Prospectus.
Sales of our common shares, if any, under this Supplemented Prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through The Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common shares, or sales on any other existing trading market for our common shares or to or through a market maker.
We will pay A.G.P. a fixed commission rate equal to 3.00% of the gross sales price per common share sold. In connection with the sale of our common shares on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contributions to A.G.P. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus, as supplemented by this Supplement.
Our common shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EARS.” On April 2, 2019, the last sale price of our common shares as reported by The Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.34 per common share.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Summary—Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company” and a Foreign Private Issuer” in the Prospectus.
Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in the Prospectus, as supplemented by this Supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and this Supplement before deciding to invest in our common shares. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of the Prospectus Supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and this Supplement.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of our common shares, or determined if this Supplement or the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
A.G.P.
