Any statement contained in a previously filed document incorporated by reference will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus modifies or replaces that statement. Since information that we later file with the SEC will update and supersede previously incorporated information, you should look at all of the SEC filings that we incorporate by reference to determine if any of the statements in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement or in any documents previously incorporated by reference have been modified or superseded.

Using our proprietary and patented Humaneered® antibody technology, we have produced a portfolio ofpatient-targeted, first-in-class, antibodies. We take a patient-targeted approach with each of our antibody programs by developing a new or utilizing an existing screen or diagnostic method that we believe may identify those individuals most likely to benefit from our therapies. We believe that antibodies produced with our Humaneered® technology offer important clinical and economic advantages over antibodies generated by other methods, making our antibodies potentially more suitable for chronic treatment. We seek to identify and develop products that may treat multiple indications through proof-of-concept studies, and then secure development partnerships with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who will further develop and commercialize our products while we retain rights in specialty or orphan indications.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. They can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expects,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain these terms. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectations regarding: our beliefs as to the potential benefits of lenzilumab as a treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients; the timeline for announcement of release of topline results from the ACTIV-5/BET-B study being conducted by the National Institutes of Health; our efforts and potential timeline to make future regulatory submissions in respect of potential emergency use authorization or other marketing authorization or approval from applicable regulatory agencies in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other foreign jurisdictions for commercial use of lenzilumab in COVID-19 patients; our other plans to initiate or participate in planned clinical trials and otherwise explore the effectiveness of lenzilumab and our other product candidates in our development portfolio as therapies for other inflammation and immune-oncology indications; our opportunity to benefit from various regulatory incentives; expectations for our financial results, revenue, operating expenses and other financial measures in future periods; the availability and adequacy of our sources of liquidity to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other liquidity requirements and continue as a going concern; and any statement that contains forward-looking words and other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein reflect our current expectations and beliefs, and we do not undertake publicly to update or revise these statements, even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein will not be realized. In addition, the inclusion of any statement in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein does not constitute an admission by us that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. Furthermore, we wish to caution and advise readers that these statements are based on assumptions that may not materialize and may involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual events or performance to differ materially from those contained or implied in these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the risks inherent in our lack of profitability and need for additional capital to conduct our business; our dependence on partners to further the development of our product candidates; the uncertainties inherent in the development, attainment of the requisite regulatory authorizations and approvals (including EUA in the United States and CMA in the United Kingdom and European Union) and launch of any new pharmaceutical product; challenges associated with manufacturing and commercializing a biologic such as lenzilumab; and the outcome of pending or future litigation or arbitrations to which we are a party. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC. We also will include or incorporate by reference in each prospectus supplement important factors that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Should one or more known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should consider these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or the documents we incorporate by reference herein or therein as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, we do not assume, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Because of these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

THE COMPANY

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, developing our portfolio of proprietary Humaneered® anti-inflammatory immunology and immuno-oncology monoclonal antibodies. Our proprietary, patented Humaneered technology platform is a method for converting existing antibodies (typically murine) into engineered, high-affinity human antibodies designed for therapeutic use, particularly with acute and chronic conditions. We have developed or in-licensed targets or research antibodies, typically from academic institutions, and then applied our Humaneered technology to optimize them. Our lead product candidate, lenzilumab, and our other two product candidates, ifabotuzumab (“iFab”) and HGEN005, are Humaneered monoclonal antibodies. Our Humaneered antibodies are closer to human antibodies than chimeric or conventionally humanized antibodies and have a high affinity for their target. In addition, we believe our Humaneered antibodies offer further important advantages, such as high potency, a slow off-rate and a lower likelihood to induce an inappropriate immune response or infusion related reaction.

We are focusing our efforts on the development of our lead product candidate, lenzilumab. Lenzilumab is a monoclonal antibody that has been demonstrated to neutralize human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (“GM-CSF”), a cytokine that we believe is of critical importance in the hyperinflammatory cascade, sometimes referred to as cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”) or cytokine storm, associated with COVID-19, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (“CAR-T”) therapy and acute Graft versus Host Disease (“aGvHD”) associated with bone marrow transplants.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Charter Documents and Delaware Law

Some provisions of our Charter, our Bylaws and Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, or otherwise.

Our amended and restated bylawsBylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, for a proposal to be timely submitted for consideration at an annual meeting, notice must be delivered to our secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. 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.

Our amendedCharter and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylawsBylaws both provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Accordingly, the board of directors could prevent any stockholder from filling the new directorships with such stockholder’s own nominee.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Charter or our Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine; in all cases subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which contains anti-takeover provisions. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale or another transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions that are not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price fortfor the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes cumulative voting. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporationCharter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a minority stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on our board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors based on the number of shares of our stock the stockholder holds as compared to the number of seats the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision regarding a takeover.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Delaware law generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on such matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage. Our Charter permits our board of directors to amend or repeal most provisions of our Bylaws by majority vote. Generally, our Charter may be amended by holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote. The stockholder vote or consent with respect to an amendment of our Charter or Bylaws would be in addition to any separate class vote that might in the future be required under the terms of any series of preferred stock that might be outstanding at the time such a proposed amendment were submitted to stockholders. Delaware law and the provisions of our Bylaws generally permit stockholders owning the requisite percentage of shares of common stock necessary to approve an amendment to our Charter and Bylaws to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting of our stockholders.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our Bylaws provide indemnification, including advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. In addition, our Charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal benefit from their action as directors. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek nonmonetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. In addition, this provision does not limit the directors’ responsibilities under Delaware law or any other laws, such as the federal securities laws. We have obtained insurance that insures our directors and officers against certain losses and which insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers. We also have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

Our Charter provides that we may issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences, privileges and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

While we do not currently have any plans for the issuance of any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of such preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the market price of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include:

·Restricting dividends on the common stock;

·Diluting the voting power of the common stock;

·Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or

·Delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

·any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.

FORMS OF SECURITIES

Each warrant, unit and right will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities will be issued in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the warrants, rights or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

Registered Global Securities

We may issue the registered warrants, rights or units in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.

If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Table of Contents

Ownership of beneficial interests in a particular seriesregistered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of unitsa registered global security, the depositary will describecredit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the termsparticipants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Any payments to holders with respect to warrants, right or units includingrepresented by a registered global security registered in the following:name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of us, the warrant agents, the rights agents, the unit agents or any other agent of ours, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents, rights agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of any distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant warrant agent, rights agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

Agents,

Broker-dealers, agents or underwriters may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or the purchasers of securities for which such broker-dealers, agents or underwriters may act as agents or to which they may sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in any distribution of the offered securities may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, so any discounts or commissions they receive in connection with the distribution might be deemed to be underwriting compensation. Those underwriters and dealersagents may be entitled, under their agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments that they may be required to make in respect of those civil liabilities. Various of those underwriters or agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. We will identify any underwriters or agents, and describe their compensation, in a prospectus supplement.

We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, if we enter into any material arrangement with a broker, dealer, agent or underwriter for the sale of securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer. The prospectus supplement will disclose:

·the name of any participating broker, dealer, agent or underwriter;

·the number and type of securities involved;

·the price at which such securities were sold;

·any securities exchanges on which such securities may be listed;

·the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker, dealer, agent or underwriter where applicable; and

·other facts material to the transaction.

To facilitate the offering of securities under this prospectus or an applicable prospectus supplement, some persons participating in the offering of the securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities during and after the offering of the securities. Specifically, if the applicable prospectus supplement permits, the underwriters of the securities may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in the securities for their own account by selling more of the securities than we have sold to them and may elect to cover any such short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing the securities in the open market and may impose penalty bids, under which selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if securities previously distributed in the offering are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid also may affect the price of securities to the extent that it discourages resales of the securities. We make no representation as to the magnitude or effect of any such stabilization or other transactions. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

To comply with the securities laws of some states and other jurisdictions, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states and other jurisdictions, the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the jurisdiction or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act generally requires that trades in the secondary market settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Your prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date before the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

This prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable pricing supplement in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites of, or through other online services maintained by, us or one or more of the agents or dealers participating in an offering of securities, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may be able to view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular agent to dealer, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online.

Using our proprietary and patented Humaneered® antibody technology, we have produced a portfolio of patient-targeted, first-in-class, antibodies. We take a patient-targeted approach with each of our antibody programs by developing a new or utilizing an existing screen or diagnostic method that we believe may identify those individuals most likely to benefit from our therapies. We believe that antibodies produced with our Humaneered® technology offer important clinical and economic advantages over antibodies generated by other methods, making our antibodies potentially more suitable for chronic treatment. We seek to identify and develop products that may treat multiple indications through proof-of-concept studies, and then secure development partnerships with large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who will further develop and commercialize our products while we retain rights in specialty or orphan indications.

We currently have three monoclonal antibodies at the clinical development stage:

Our first antibody, KB003 (a Humaneered®, recombinant, anti-granulocyte macrophage colony- stimulating factor (anti-GM-CSF) monoclonal antibody), is in a Phase 2 clinical trial in severe asthma patients inadequately controlled by corticosteroids. We plan to report data from this trial by early 2014. KB002, the chimeric precursor molecule to KB003, showed activity with a single dose in a Phase 1/2 clinical study in persistent asthma and in a Phase 1 clinical study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Our second antibody, KB001-A (a Humaneered®, recombinant, PEGylated, anti-PcrV of Pseudomonas Fab’ antibody), is in clinical development for the prevention and treatment of infections caused by Pa, a gram-negative bacterium. Pa can cause chronic respiratory infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients. Clinical trials in Pa VAP and CF patients infected with Pa were completed with a precursor molecule, KB001, that showed activity in Phase 1/2 clinical studies with a single dose for both indications.

KB001-A is in a Phase 2 clinical trial, conducted by us, in CF patients with chronic Pa lung infection. Clinical data are expected by the end of 2014. Our partner, Sanofi Pasteur (Sanofi), has an option to assume primary worldwide responsibility for developing and promoting KB001-A for Pa in CF or bronchiectasis patients after the completion of this Phase 2 clinical trial.

For the pneumonia prevention indication, Sanofi is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers to evaluate higher doses than those previously tested. After completion of manufacturing process development and scale-up, Sanofi plans to conduct a Phase 2b trial in the first half of 2015 to determine the safety and efficacy of KB001-A in preventing Pa VAP. We understand that this Phase 2b and Phase 3 trial are being designed as pivotal trials and are intended to serve as a basis for registration of KB001-A in the prevention of Pa VAP.

Our third antibody, KB004 (a Humaneered®, recombinant anti-EphA3 receptor tyrosine kinase monoclonal antibody), is in the dose escalation portion of a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with hematologic malignancies. We plan to initiate the Phase 2 expansion phase of the trial, which will pre- screen subjects for EphA3 expression and assess the activity of KB004, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) when confirmatory safety and pharmacokinetic data is obtained from the Phase 1 trial.

For a more complete understanding of our company and this offering, we encourage you shouldto read and consider carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together withmore detailed information in this prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the information contained in and incorporated by reference under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012page 4 of this prospectus, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, as updated or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, developing our portfolio of proprietary Humaneered® anti-inflammatory immunology and immuno-oncology monoclonal antibodies. Our proprietary, patented Humaneered technology platform is a method for converting existing antibodies (typically murine) into engineered, high-affinity human antibodies designed for therapeutic use, particularly with acute and chronic conditions. We have developed or in-licensed targets or research antibodies, typically from academic institutions, and then applied our Humaneered technology to optimize them. Our lead product candidate, lenzilumab, and our other two product candidates, ifabotuzumab (“iFab”) and HGEN005, are Humaneered monoclonal antibodies. Our Humaneered antibodies are closer to human antibodies than chimeric or conventionally humanized antibodies and have a high affinity for their target. In addition, we believe our Humaneered antibodies offer further important advantages, such as high potency, a slow off-rate and a lower likelihood to induce an inappropriate immune response or infusion related reaction.

We are focusing our efforts on the development of our lead product candidate, lenzilumab. Lenzilumab is a monoclonal antibody that has been demonstrated to neutralize human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (“GM-CSF”), a cytokine that we believe is of critical importance in the hyperinflammatory cascade, sometimes referred to as cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”) or cytokine storm, associated with COVID-19, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (“CAR-T”) therapy and acute Graft versus Host Disease (“aGvHD”) associated with bone marrow transplants.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $75,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required pursuant to the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. Actual net proceeds will depend on the number of shares we sell and the prices at which such sales occur. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald as a source of financing.

We intend to use any net proceeds realized from the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald principally for general corporate purposes, which could include working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness outstanding from time to time. Our expected use of net proceeds, if any, from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald represents our intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the results of our research and development efforts, the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials we may commence in the future, the timing of regulatory submissions and the feedback from regulatory authorities. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes and, as a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds, if any.

Pending use of the proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock you may suffer immediate and substantial dilution inafter this offering.

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $(23.7) million, or $(0.37) per share of common stock. Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share is our net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution with respect to net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the portion of the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock you purchaseimmediately after giving effect to this offering.

After giving effect to the assumed sale by us of shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $75,000,000 in this offering at an assumed offering price of $2.05 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 25, 2022, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021 would have been approximately $49.2 million, or $0.49 per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $0.86 to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value per share of $1.56 to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors participating in this offering.

Assumed offering price per share     $2.05 
Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2021 $(0.37)    
Increase per share attributable to new investors $0.86     
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering     $0.49 
Dilution per share to new investors     $1.56 

The table above assumes, for illustrative purposes, that an aggregate of 36,585,366 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $2.05 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 25, 2022, for aggregate gross proceeds of $75,000,000. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. After giving effect to the saleAn increase of our common stock$1.00 per share in the maximum aggregate offering amount of $50,000,000price at anwhich the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $5.57$2.05 per share the last reported sale price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on August 30, 2013, and after deducting estimated offering commissions payable by us, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2013 would have been $97.3 million, or $2.93 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increaseshown in the net tangible book value of $0.90 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value of $2.64 per share to new investors who purchase our common stock in the offering. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you may incur in connection with this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the sales agreement with MLV as a source of financing.

We will use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock offered by this prospectus primarily to develop and advance our product candidates through clinical trials, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on: the type, number, costs, and results of the product candidate development programs which we are pursuing or may choose to pursue in the future; the scope, progress, expansion, costs, and results of our clinical trials; the amounts and timing of any contingent payments from Sanofi; competitive and technological developments; and the rate of growth, if any, of our business. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of the offerings, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value of our common stock as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $49.1 million, or approximately $2.03 per share of common stock based upon 24,219,456 shares outstanding at that time. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2013.

After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50,000,000$75,000,000 during the term of the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald is sold at anthat price, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $0.55 per share and would increase the dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors to $2.50 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $5.57$2.05 per share shown in the last reported sale pricetable above, assuming all of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market on August 30, 2013, and after deducting estimated offering commissions payable by us,in the aggregate amount of $75,000,000 during the term of the sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald is sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value as of August 30, 2013 would have been $97.3 million, or $2.93 per share after the offering to $0.36 per share and would decrease the dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors to $0.69 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered.

The number of common stockshares to be outstanding upon completion of this offering is based on 33,196,11764,027,629 shares of common stock outstanding on a pro forma basis at that time. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.90 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.64 per share to new investors in this offering.

The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis as of June 30, 2013:

Offering price per share

  $5.57  

Net tangible book value per share

  $2.03  

Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to the offering

  $0.90  

Pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering

  $2.93  

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors

  $2.64  

The foregoing table does not give effect to the exercise of any outstanding options or warrants. To the extent options and warrants are exercised, there may be further dilution to new investors.

December 31, 2021. The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering excludes:

·4,429,906 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, at a weighted-average exercise price of $7.89 per share;
·5,004,035 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan;
·31,238 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $23.33 per share; and

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised or amounts under our loan and security agreement are converted, investors purchasing shares in this offering could experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Charter Documents and Delaware Law

Some provisions of our Charter, our Bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult to acquire our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, or otherwise.

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, for a proposal to be timely submitted for consideration at an annual meeting, notice must be delivered to our secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. 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.

8
Table of Contents

Our Charter and Bylaws both provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Accordingly, the board of directors could prevent any stockholder from filling the new directorships with such stockholder’s own nominee.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Charter or our Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine; in all cases subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which contains anti-takeover provisions. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale or another transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions that are not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes cumulative voting. Our Charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a minority stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on our board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors based on the number of shares of our stock the stockholder holds as compared to the number of seats the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision regarding a takeover.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Delaware law generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on such matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage. Our Charter permits our board of directors to amend or repeal most provisions of our Bylaws by majority vote. Generally, our Charter may be amended by holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote. The stockholder vote or consent with respect to an amendment of our Charter or Bylaws would be in addition to any separate class vote that might in the future be required under the terms of any series of preferred stock that might be outstanding at the time such a proposed amendment were submitted to stockholders. Delaware law and the provisions of our Bylaws generally permit stockholders owning the requisite percentage of shares of common stock necessary to approve an amendment to our Charter and Bylaws to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting of our stockholders.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our Bylaws provide indemnification, including advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law to any person made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. In addition, our Charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal benefit from their action as directors. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek nonmonetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. In addition, this provision does not limit the directors’ responsibilities under Delaware law or any other laws, such as the federal securities laws. We have obtained insurance that insures our directors and officers against certain losses and which insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers. We also have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.
