This reoffer prospectus relates to 9,322,819 common shares, no par value (the “Common Shares”), of Titan Medical Inc., an Ontario corporation (the “Company”, the “Registrant”, “we” , “us” or “our”), which may be offered from time to time by certain shareholders that are our current or former executive officers or directors (collectively, the “Selling Securityholders”) for their own accounts. The Common Shares have been, or will be, issued pursuant to options or restricted share units granted to the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated effective June 9, 2021 (the “Stock Option Plan”) and Share Unit Plan, as amended and restated effective June 8, 2022 (the “Share Unit Plan” and together with the Stock Option Plan, the “Plans”). We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares by the Selling Securityholders made hereunder.

 

The Selling Securityholders may sell the Common Shares in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including sales in the open market, sales in negotiated transactions and sales by a combination of these methods. The Selling Securityholders may sell any, all or none of the Common Shares and we do not know when or in what amount the Selling Securityholders may sell their Common Shares hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part. The price at which any of the Common Shares may be sold, and the commissions, if any, paid in connection with any such sale, are unknown and may vary from transaction to transaction. The Common Shares may be sold at the market price of the Common Shares at the time of a sale, at prices relating to the market price over a period of time, or at prices negotiated with the buyers of Common Shares. The Common Shares may be sold through underwriters or dealers which the Selling Securityholders may select. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the Common Shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell Common Shares in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” The Selling Securityholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. Any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Securityholders will be borne by us.

 

The Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “TMD” and the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “TMDI.” On September 14, 2022, the last reported sale price per share of our Common Shares was CDN$0.64 per share on the TSX and $0.49 per share on the Nasdaq.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 13 of this reoffer prospectus.

 

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

·a recall of the Company’s products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority or regulatory body, or the discovery of serious safety issues with the Company’s products, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company;

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information from this reoffer prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you in making an investment decision. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included in this reoffer prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein. Potential investors should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed in “Risk Factors.”

 

Overview

 

The Company is a medical technology company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario with operations in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Company is focused on enhancing RAS using innovative technology through a single access point. The Enos™ system, a single access robotic-assisted surgical platform (the “Enos System”) is being developed with an ergonomic focus to provide a surgical experience that imitates real-life movements that surgeons demand. The platform includes multi-articulating instruments designed to allow surgeons an increased range of motion in a confined space, with dexterity and the ability to exert the forces necessary to complete common surgical tasks. With the Enos System, The Company intends to initially pursue gynecologic surgical indications. By focusing on a single access point, the Company believes that patient trauma, post-operative pain and scarring can be reduced, and patients may be able to recover from surgery faster. 

 

The Company’s innovations in RAS, including those directed at the Enos System, are protected by a growing patent portfolio that includes more than 200 patents and patent applications. Certain of the Company’s RAS technologies and related intellectual property have been licensed to Medtronic, while retaining world-wide rights to commercialize the technologies for use with the Enos System.

 

The Enos System is under development and has not been authorized for marketing by the FDA or approved by any other regulatory authority in any other jurisdiction and until such authorizations or approvals are obtained, is not yet commercially available.

  

In addition to leveraging in-house R&D capabilities, including for activities related to the Enos System and the development work performed pursuant to the agreement with Medtronic, the Company engages subcontractors and consultants to perform certain design and development, prototyping, and assembly and manufacturing activities.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other exemptions from requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

 

·reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

·exemptions from non-binding stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

 

·exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large-accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Selling Securityholders and the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Security holders as of August 31, 2022 and the percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 111,890,707 Common Shares outstanding. The Selling Securityholders may offer all, some or none of the Common Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus. The Selling Securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their Common Shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the Selling Securityholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this reoffer prospectus accordingly. We cannot give an estimate as to the number of Common Shares that will actually be held by the Selling Securityholders upon termination of this offering because the Selling Securityholders may offer some or all of their Common Shares under the offering contemplated by this reoffer prospectus or acquire additional Common Shares. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will, in fact, sell any or all of such Common Shares.

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Common Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus are being registered by the Company for the account of the Selling Securityholders. The Common Shares offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Securityholder in one or more transactions on the TSX or Nasdaq or any other stock exchange or marketplace on which the Common Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may sell Common Shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or purchasers of the Common Shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.

 

In connection with their sales, a Selling Securityholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of Common Shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Common Shares. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the Common Shares must be made by the Selling Securityholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. In addition to any Common Shares sold hereunder, Selling Securityholders may sell Common Shares in compliance with Rule 144.

 

For so long as the Company does not meet the requirements for registering securities on Form F-3, the Common Shares to be offered or resold by means of this reoffer prospectus by the Selling Securityholders may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this reoffer prospectus, which otherwise qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.

 

There is no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or a portion of the Common Shares offered hereby. The Selling Securityholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the Common Shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the Common Shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Securityholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the Common Shares.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) may apply to sales of our Common Shares and activities of the Selling Securityholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Common Shares by the Selling Securityholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Common Shares to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares. Passive market-making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Common Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares.

 

Once sold under the registration statement of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part, the Common Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 4.Description of Securities.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5.Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

 

None.

 

Item 6.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity on condition that (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Further, the Registrant may, with court approval, indemnify a person described above in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action if the individual fulfills condition (i) above. Additionally, the Registrant may advance money to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges, and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, with the necessary court approval where noted, but the individual is required to repay the money to the Registrant if the individual does not satisfy condition (i) above. An individual described above is also entitled to indemnification as described above from the Registrant as a matter of right if the individual was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything the individual ought to have done, and he fulfills conditions (i) and (ii) above. The Registrant has entered into an Indemnity Agreement with each of its directors under which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify the individual in substantially the same circumstances as outlined in this paragraph.

 

In accordance with the OBCA, the by-laws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or an individual who acts or acted at the Registrant's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and such person's heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity, provided that (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interest of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the person had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was lawful.

 

A policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant, at its expense, which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers.

 

 

 

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

 

In addition, in accordance with the OBCA, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers whereby the Registrant has agreed, subject to applicable law and provided such director or officer complied with the above-mentioned conditions, to indemnify such individuals against all costs, charges and expenses which they may sustain or incur in third party actions in which they are involved because of their association with the Registrant.

 

Item 7.Exemption from Registration Claimed.

 

The Common Shares being reoffered and resold pursuant to the Reoffer Prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 701 promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to a written compensatory benefit plan.

Item 9.Undertakings.

 

(a)     The 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;

 

(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 the 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this 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.

 

(b)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
