Pursuant to this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the securities purchase agreements dated September 19, 2024 (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”), we are offering 3,939,394 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.65 per share.

In a concurrent private placement, we are also selling, to the same accredited investors that received shares of Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement, warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,939,394 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.84 per share and are exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date that is six (6) months following the date of the issuance. The Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being registered under the Securities Act at this time or offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Additionally in a separate, exempt, unregistered concurrent private placement, Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Chief Executive Officer”), will be purchasing shares of Common Stock and Warrants on substantially the same terms as the other purchasers in this offering, except that he will be purchasing the Warrants for $0.125 per Warrant and the Common Stock at a price per share of $1.84, which is equal to the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreements. The Warrants are more fully described in the section of this Prospectus Supplement titled “Private Placement Transactions.”

We have engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”) as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering, and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-19 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements.

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIO.” On September 19, 2024, the last trading day before our entry into the Securities Purchase Agreements providing for the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.84 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants being sold in the concurrent private placements, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement and page 3 of the accompanying prospectus as well as the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and in the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties you should carefully consider before investing in our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(1) We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement commission equal to 7.0% of the aggregate proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock sold in this offering, except for the sale of certain shares of Common Stock. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-19 for additional information regarding the compensation to be paid to the Placement Agent.

(2) The amount of the offering proceeds to us presented in this table does not take into account the proceeds from our concurrent private placements or the exercise of any of the Warrants being issued in the concurrent private placements.

We expect to deliver the securities to the investors on or about September 23, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

This document is in two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and the Common Stock, and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. The second part is the accompanying base prospectus, which gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to this offering of Common Stock and accompanying warrants.

These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections made by management about our business, our industry and other conditions affecting our financial condition, results of operations or business prospects. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause such outcomes and results to differ include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties arising from:

You should read this prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and any document incorporated by reference is accurate as of its date only. Because the risk factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any document incorporated herein by reference, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

Concurrent Private Placements	In a concurrent private placement, we are issuing to the same accredited investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering, Warrants to purchase up to 3,939,394 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the date that is six (6) months form the date of their issuance.

The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. See “Private Placement Transactions” below.

Nasdaq Capital Market Symbol:	Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIO.”

The number of shares of our Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 22,848,305 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of September 18, 2024 and excludes as of that date:

	·	187,500 shares of Common Stock underlying unvested Restricted Stock Units;

	·	763,359 unregistered shares of Common Stock sold in the separate, exempt, unregistered concurrent private placement.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the outstanding warrants or options or settlement of outstanding restricted stock units, described above.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other information set forth in the reports and other materials filed or furnished by our partner companies Avenue, Checkpoint, Journey and Mustang with the SEC, before deciding to invest in our securities, as well as any amendment or update to our risk factors in subsequent filings with the SEC, and other information in our consolidated financial statements, all of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. If any of the following risks, the risk factors incorporated by reference hereto, or the risks included in the public filings of Avenue, Checkpoint, Journey or Mustang were to materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose part of or all of your investment in our securities. In addition, you should be aware that the below stated risks should be read as being applicable to our subsidiaries and partner companies such that, if any of the negative outcomes associated with any such risk is experienced by one of our subsidiaries or partner companies, the value of Fortress’ holdings in such entity may decline.

This is a reasonable best efforts offering, with no minimum amount of securities required to be sold, and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby.

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering, and there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated. Even if we sell securities offered hereby, because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing of this offering, the actual offering amount is not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

The market for our Common Stock may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

The Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the trading market for the Common Stock may not be maintained and may not provide investors with adequate liquidity. The liquidity of the market for the Common Stock depends on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and operating results, the number of holders of the Common Stock, the market for similar securities and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will maintain the trading market in our Common Stock, or how liquid that market will be. If an active market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty selling shares of our Common Stock.

Our revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate in future periods, and we may fail to meet investor expectations, which may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

Variations in our quarterly and year-end operating results are difficult to predict, and our income and cash flows may fluctuate significantly from period to period. If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Specific factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results include:

The market price of our Common Stock could be substantially affected by various factors.

The market price of the Common Stock depends on many factors, which may change from time to time, including:

As a result of these and other factors, holders of the Common Stock may experience a decrease, which could be substantial and rapid, in the market price of the Common Stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects.

We have never paid and currently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the near future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, or made stock dividends, and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our businesses, and retain our stock positions. In addition, the terms of existing and future debt agreements may preclude us from paying cash of stock dividends. Equally, each of our affiliates and partners is governed by its own board of directors with individual governance and decision-making regimes and mandates to oversee such entities in accordance with their respective fiduciary duties. As a result, we alone cannot determine the acts that could maximize value to you of such affiliates/partners in which we maintain ownership positions, such as declaring cash or stock dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

A substantial number of shares of our Common Stock could be sold into the public market in the near future, which could depress our stock price.

Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market could reduce the prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. Substantially all of our outstanding Common Stock is eligible for sale as are shares of Common Stock issuable under vested and exercisable stock options. If our existing stockholders sell a large number of shares of our Common Stock, or the public market perceives that existing stockholders might sell shares of Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock could decline significantly. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds of this offering and may not use them effectively.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for our operations, including, but not limited to, general corporate purposes, which may include research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, license or acquisition of new products, and working capital. However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Common Stock. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our Common Stock to decline, and delay our growth strategy, including but not limited to, the development and commercialization of our and our subsidiaries’ product candidates.

Some of our executives, directors and principal stockholders can control our direction and policies, and their interests may be adverse to the interests of our other stockholders.

At September 19, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer beneficially owned 19.53% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. At September 19, 2024, Michael S. Weiss, our Executive Vice Chairman, Strategic Development, beneficially owned 6.54% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock. Our Chief Executive Officer is also purchasing shares of Common Stock and Warrants in a concurrent private placement described under the caption “Private Placement Transactions”. By virtue of their holdings and membership on our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Weiss may individually influence our management and our affairs and may make it difficult for us to consummate corporate transactions such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets that may be favorable from our standpoint or that of our other stockholders.

If you purchase shares of our Common Stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

Investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. As a result, investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock included in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $2.60 per share, representing the difference between the offering price of $1.65 per share and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024. To the extent outstanding options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock are exercised and to the extent that we issue shares of Common Stock following the closing of this offering, new investors may incur further dilution. For more information on the dilution you may experience as a result of investing in this offering, see the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Dilution.”

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by any investor in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by any investor in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to you. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investor in this offering.

We act, and are likely to continue acting, as guarantor and/or indemnitor of the obligations, actions or inactions of certain of our subsidiaries and partner companies. We have also entered into, and may again enter into, certain arrangements with our subsidiaries, partner companies and/or third parties pursuant to which a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be issued. Depending on the terms of such arrangements, we may be contractually obligated to pay substantial amounts to third parties, or issue a substantially dilutive number of shares of our Common Stock, based on the actions or inactions of our subsidiaries and/or partner companies, regulatory agencies or other third parties.

We act, and are likely to continue acting, as indemnitor of potential losses or liabilities that may be experienced by one or more of our subsidiaries, partner companies and/or their partners or investors. If we become obligated to pay all or a portion of such indemnification amounts, our business and the market value of our Common Stock and/or debt securities may be materially adversely affected.

For instance, Caelum Biosciences, Inc. (“Caelum”), a former subsidiary of Fortress that was sold to AstraZeneca’s Alexion (“Alexion”) in October 2021, was the defendant in a lawsuit brought by The University of Tennessee Research Foundation (“UTRF”) captioned as University of Tennessee Research Foundation v. Caelum Biosciences, Inc., No. 19-cv-00508, which was pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (the “UTRF Litigation”). UTRF brought claims against Caelum, for, inter alia, slander of title and trade secret misappropriation. UTRF alleged that Caelum improperly used (non-patented) trade secrets owned by UTRF in the development of Caelum’s 11-1F4 monoclonal antibody, known as CAEL-101. Under the agreement pursuant to which Alexion acquired Caelum (as amended, the “DOSPA”), Fortress has indemnification obligations of Caelum under certain circumstances, including for certain of Caelum’s legal expenses and potential damages arising out of the UTRF Litigation (with such indemnification capped in the aggregate as to Fortress at the amount of Caelum acquisition proceeds received by Fortress – approximately $57 million to date - and which, at Caelum’s election, may be satisfiable in the form of offsets against future amounts that Caelum may owe Fortress under the DOSPA). Caelum has defended the UTRF Litigation, with Fortress participating in such defense and maintaining a consent right over settlement.

On September 16, 2024, Caelum and UTRF entered into a stipulation filed with the Court pursuant to which UTRF’s claims were dismissed without prejudice. Caelum and UTRF have reached an enforceable settlement in principle and are negotiating a definitive settlement agreement resolving all disputes arising from the UTRF Litigation (the “Caelum-UTRF Settlement Agreement”); upon the execution of such Caelum-UTRF Settlement Agreement and the transfer of certain consideration thereunder, all claims will be dismissed with prejudice. Fortress (on behalf of itself and as Representative on behalf of the other sellers under the DOSPA) and Caelum are also negotiating an amendment to the DOSPA and its indemnification provisions, to be signed prior to execution of the Caelum-UTRF Settlement Agreement. Neither the Caelum-UTRF Settlement Agreement nor the Fortress-Caelum DOSPA amendment is anticipated to involve any out-of-pocket payments by Fortress.

Additionally, we have agreed in the past, and may agree in the future, to act as guarantor in connection with equity or debt raises by our partner companies, pursuant to which we may become obligated either to pay what could be a significant amount of cash or issue what could be a significant number of shares of Common Stock or perpetual preferred stock if certain events occur or do not occur, which could lead to a depletion of resources or dilution to our Common Stock, or both.

You should read this table together with our financial statements and related notes and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in each of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 22,587,038 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and excludes as of that date:

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of the outstanding options or warrants or settlement of outstanding restricted stock units, described above.

We estimate that the proceeds from this offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us and placement agent fees, will be approximately $6.0 million.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering and concurrent private placements for our operations, including, but not limited to, general corporate purposes, which may include research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, license or acquisition of new products, and working capital. The timing and amounts of our actual expenditures will depend on several factors. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from an offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of proceeds. Pending their ultimate use, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, government and non-government debt securities and/or money market funds that invest in such securities.

Purchasers of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock they purchase. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $(33.3) million, or $(1.47) per share of our Common Stock.

Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this offering. After giving effect to the sale of 3,939,394 shares of our Common Stock offered hereby at the offering price of $1.65 per share, and after deducting the estimated placement agent fees and the estimated expenses payable by us and assuming that none of the holders of warrants issued in the offering exercise their warrants following the closing of this offering, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $(27.3) million, or $(0.95) per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in net book value of $0.53 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.60 per share to new investors participating in this offering.

The number of shares of our outstanding Common Stock reflected in the discussion and table above is based on 22,587,038 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and excludes as of that date:

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you may 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. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

We have never paid cash dividends to the holders of our Common Stock and currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to the holders of our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Investors should not purchase our Common Stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), and our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), and to the provisions of applicable Delaware law.

Our Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIO.” The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on September 19, 2024 was $1.84 per share.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, of which 22,587,038 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2024.

The terms, rights, preference and privileges of the Common Stock are as follows:

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights.

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors out of legally available funds.

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of the Company’s preferred stock that are or may be issued.

All of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to this offering, or the “Shares.” The Shares are sometimes referred to in this section as our “securities.” This summary does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership, exercise, lapse and disposition of our securities. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed, nor is the potential application of the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, or the special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, exercise, lapse and disposition (as applicable) of our securities.

This discussion is limited to holders that hold our securities as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a holder’s particular circumstances. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation::

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding securities and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, EXERCISE, LAPSE AND DISPOSITION OF OUR SECURITIES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE OR LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

In general, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our securities (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions (including constructive distributions as described below) on our Shares, such distributions will constitute dividends to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, and will be includible in your income as ordinary income when received. However, with respect to dividends received by individuals, such dividends generally are taxed under current law at applicable long-term capital gains rates, provided certain holding period requirements are satisfied. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the U.S. holder’s investment, up to such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such Shares, as applicable, subject to the tax treatment described below in “— Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities.”

Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such securities. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in such securities is more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, generally will be subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

A U.S. holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding when such holder receives payments on our securities (including constructive dividends) or receives proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition of our securities. Certain U.S. holders are exempt from backup withholding, including C corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder:

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our securities that is neither a U.S. holder (nor a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on the Shares, such actual or deemed distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Shares or pre- funded warrants, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “— Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Securities.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, backup withholding and FATCA, dividends paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the actual or deemed dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the non-U.S. holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). Because a constructive dividend deemed received by a non-U.S. holder would not give rise to any cash from which any applicable withholding tax could be satisfied, if withholding taxes are paid on behalf of a non-U.S. holder, those withholding taxes may be set off against payments of cash on the Shares or sales proceeds received by or other funds or assets of such non-U.S. holder. A non-U.S. holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate of U.S. federal withholding tax, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaties.

If dividends paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the non-U.S. holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our securities unless:

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular rates applicable to United States persons (as defined in the Code). A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or that we will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares or Common Stock by a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our Common Stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such non-U.S. holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our Common Stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period.

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Payments of distributions on our securities (and constructive distributions deemed paid) will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the non-U.S. holder certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any distributions paid or deemed paid to the non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our securities within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our Common Stock or conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on actual or deemed dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our securities paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of actual or deemed dividends on our securities. Proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securities. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our securities.

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, EXERCISE, LAPSE AND DISPOSITION OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

Concurrently with the sale of Common Stock in this offering, we are also offering and selling to the same accredited investors in this offering Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.84 per share (subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock dividend, rights offerings, pro rata distributions and certain anti-dilution adjustment rights). Additionally in a separate, exempt, unregistered concurrent private placement, our Chief Executive Officer will be purchasing shares of Common Stock and Warrants on substantially the same terms as the other purchasers in this offering, except that he will be purchasing the Warrants for $0.125 per Warrant and the shares at $1.84 per share, which is equal to the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Warrants will be exercisable six (6) months following the date of issuance and expire five (5) years from the date of issuance.

Neither the offer and sale of the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants, nor the offer and sale the shares of Common Stock, Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants being sold to the Chief Executive Officer, are being registered under the Securities Act, such securities are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and such securities are instead being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the purchaser may only resell the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act. Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer may only resell the shares of Common Stock, Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Purchase Agreements, we have agreed to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants for resale with the SEC.

The summary below is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Warrants, the form of which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placements and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part.

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Warrant, the form of which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placements and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part.

The Warrants are exercisable from the date that is six (6) months after the date of their issuance and at any time thereafter up to the date that is five and one-half (5^1/2) years from the date of issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates and certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

The exercise price per whole share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants is equal to $1.84. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

We do not intend to list the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

We are offering 3,939,394 shares of Common Stock, for gross proceeds of up to $6.5 million before deduction of placement agent commissions and offering expenses, in a best-efforts offering. There is no minimum amount of proceeds that is a condition to closing of this offering.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”) has agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering subject to the terms and conditions of the placement agency agreement dated September 19, 2024 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the securities offered hereby. Therefore, we may not sell the entire amount of securities being offered. We entered into a securities purchase agreement directly with the institutional investors who purchased our securities in this offering. The Placement Agent may engage one or more subagents or selected dealers in connection with this offering (and the issuance of the Warrants, which are not being offering herein, but are being issued in a separate concurrent offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act).

The Placement Agent also acted as our placement agent in the concurrent private placements.

We will deliver the securities being issued to the investors upon receipt of investor funds for the purchase of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. We expect to deliver the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement on or about September 23, 2024.

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect thereof.

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash placement commission equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds raised in this offering. In addition, we agree to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain of its expenses, including its reasonable fees and expenses of counsel up to $75,000. We have also agreed to pay a non-accountable expense allowance to the Placement Agent equal to $10,000.

The following table shows the public offering price per share and total placement agent fees we will pay to the Placement Agent in connection with the sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

After deducting certain fees and expenses due to the Placement Agent and our estimated offering expenses, we expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $6.0 million.

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the shares underlying the warrants sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on websites or through other online services maintained by the Placement Agent or by an affiliate of the Placement Agent. Other than this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the information on the Placement Agent’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Placement Agent is not part of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Placement Agent, and should not be relied upon by investors.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the Placement Agency Agreement and the securities purchase agreement. A copy of the form of securities purchase agreement with the purchasers will be included as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC in connection with this offering and the concurrent private placements and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part. See “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” and “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

The public offering price of the securities we are offering, were negotiated between us and the investors in the offering based on the trading of our Common Stock prior to the offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the public offering price of the securities we are offering include our history and prospects, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, the general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, we, any successor, our directors, executive officers and employees have agreed to not, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of “lock-up” agreements (a) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the transfer or disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Common Stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of any options or warrants) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (b) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise; (c) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other securities of the Company; or (d) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

This lock-up provision applies to Common Stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock. It also applies to Common Stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition. The exceptions permit, among other things and subject to restrictions, the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants or other outstanding convertible securities.

In the event that any investors (excluding certain exempt investors) that were contacted by the Placement Agent or were introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent during the term of our engagement with the Placement Agent provide any capital to us in any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising-transaction of any kind that is consummated within four (4) months following the termination or expiration of the Placement Agency Agreement with the Placement Agent, we shall pay the Placement Agent the cash compensation provided above on the gross proceeds from such investors.

In a separate, exempt, unregistered concurrent private placement, our Chief Executive Officer will be purchasing shares of Common Stock and Warrants on substantially the same terms as the other purchasers in this offering, except that he will be purchasing the Warrants for $0.125 per Warrant and the shares at a price per share equal to the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Placement Agent and certain of its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees; however, except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no present arrangements with the Placement Agent or any of its affiliates.

Our Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIO.”

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and our amended and restated bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our 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.

Certain legal matters relating to the validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina. Thompson Hine LLP, New York, New York, is counsel for the Placement Agent in connection with this offering.

The consolidated financial statements of Fortress Biotech, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, have been incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, in reliance on the report of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as expert in accounting and auditing.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock as of the date of this prospectus. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), and our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), and to the provisions of applicable Delaware law.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with $0.001 par value, of which 5,000,000 have been designated as 9.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the remainder of which are undesignated preferred stock.

As of May 13, 2024, there were 19,916,124 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and 3,427,138 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Our Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIO.”

The terms, rights, preference and privileges of the Common Stock are as follows:

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors out of legally available funds.

All of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Fortress Biotech’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire Fortress Biotech by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, including those summarized below, may encourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. However, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we are not subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Removal. Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding series of our preferred stock, stockholders may remove our directors with or without cause, by a vote of the stockholders. Removal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our voting stock.

Size of Board and Vacancies. Our Bylaws provide that the number of directors be fixed exclusively by the board of directors. Any vacancies may only be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum is present, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy on our board of directors will be appointed until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of its board of directors or a committee of our board of directors.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock without additional stockholder approval, which preferred stock could have voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without any action by the Company’s stockholders.

Limitation on Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Elimination of Liability of Directors. The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, and our Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director will be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company 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, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. While our Certificate of Incorporation provides directors with protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of care, it does not eliminate this duty. Accordingly, our Certificate of Incorporation has no effect on the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based on a director’s breach of his or her duty of care. The provisions apply to an officer of Fortress Biotech only if he or she is a director of Fortress Biotech and is acting in his or her capacity as director, and do not apply to officers of Fortress Biotech who are not directors.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. Our Bylaws require us to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was otherwise involved in, a legal proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee or agent of Fortress Biotech or, while a director, officer or employee of Fortress Biotech, or is or was serving at the request of Fortress Biotech as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust 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 or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Fortress Biotech and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, would not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Fortress Biotech and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. We are authorized under our Bylaws to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance protecting us, any director, officer or employee or agent of ours or, against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we have the power to indemnify the person under the DGCL. We may, to the extent authorized from time to time, indemnify any of our agents to the fullest extent permitted with respect to directors, officers and employees in our Bylaws.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of fiduciary duty. These provisions also may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. By its terms, the indemnification provided for in our Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights that the indemnified party may be or become entitled to under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or otherwise. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of our Bylaws’ indemnification provisions is, by the terms of our Bylaws, prospective only and will not adversely affect the rights of any indemnity in effect at the time of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

On October 26, 2017, the Company designated 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock. The Company currently has 15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. As of May 13, 2024, there were 3,427,138 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Our Series A Preferred Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FBIOP.” The last reported sale price of our Series A Preferred Stock on May 15, 2024 was $15.92 per share.

Except as may be otherwise required by law, the voting rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are limited to the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time in connection with the: (1) authorization or creation, or increase in the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassification of any of the Company’s authorized capital stock into such shares, or creation, authorization or issuance of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (2) amendment, alteration, repeal or replacement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, including by way of a merger, consolidation or otherwise in which the Company may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series A Preferred Stock of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock accrue daily and will be cumulative from, and including, the date of original issue and shall be payable monthly at the rate of 9.375% per annum of its liquidation preference, which is equivalent to $2.34375 per annum per share. The first dividend on Series A Preferred Stock sold in the offering was payable on December 31, 2017 (in the amount of $0.299479 per share) to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on December 15, 2017 and thereafter for each subsequent quarter in the amount of $0.5839375 per share. The Company paid $8.03 million in dividends in each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date, and the Company is not required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless the Company decides to redeem it pursuant to its optional redemption right or its special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), or under the circumstances set forth below under “ – Limited Conversion Rights Upon a Change of Control” and elect to convert such Series A Preferred Stock. The Company is not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

Since December 15, 2022, the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemable in whole or in part (at the Company’s option) any time on or after December 15, 2022, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days’ written notice by mail prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence a Change of Control (as defined below), the Company may redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at its option, in whole or in part, within one hundred twenty (120) days of any such Change of Control, for cash at $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date. If, prior to the Change of Control conversion date, the Company has provided notice of its election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to the Company’s optional redemption right described above under “Optional Redemption” or this special optional redemption right), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the Change of Control conversion right with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption. If the Company elects to redeem any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as described in this paragraph, the Company may use any available cash to pay the redemption price.

A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when, after the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the following have occurred and are continuing:

Except as described below under “– Limited Conversion Rights upon a Change of Control,” the Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to preemptive rights or convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property at the option of the holder.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Company has provided or provides irrevocable notice of its election to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock as described above under “– Optional Redemption,” or “– Special Optional Redemption”) to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date, into the Common Stock Conversion Consideration, which is equal to the lesser of:

In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the Change of Control Conversion Right if the acquiror has shares listed or quoted on the NYSE, the NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq Stock Market or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq Stock Market, and the Series A Preferred Stock becomes convertible into or exchangeable for such acquiror’s listed shares upon a subsequent Change of Control of the acquiror.

In the event the Company liquidates, dissolves or is wound up, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to receive $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any payment is made to the holders of the Common Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock will rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (1) senior to all classes or series of the Common Stock and to all other equity securities issued by the Company other than equity securities referred to in clauses (2) and (3); (2) on a par with all equity securities issued by the Company with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank on a par with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (3) junior to all equity securities issued by the Company with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; and (4) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.

The undesignated preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to issue any and all of the available shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each series of preferred stock authorized, the voting powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions for each series, as stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by our board of directors that provides for the issuance of such shares of preferred stock and as may be permitted by the DGCL. Our board of directors is also authorized under our certificate of incorporation to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock after the issuance of shares of that series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of such series of preferred stock then outstanding. If the number of shares of any series of preferred stock is decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares of preferred stock so decreased will return to the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series of preferred stock.

We may issue warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock and/or preferred stock in one or more series together with other securities or separately, as described in each applicable prospectus supplement.

The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:

We may offer debt securities which may be senior, subordinated or junior subordinated and may be convertible into shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. We will issue the debt securities offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement under an indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of the debt securities will include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) as in effect on the date of the indenture. We have filed a copy of the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement in which this prospectus is included. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act.

The following description briefly sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which these general provisions may apply to the debt securities, will be described in the related prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the related prospectus supplement and to the following description.

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under an applicable indenture is unlimited, subject only to the aggregate amount of the offering registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The debt securities may be issued in one or more series as may be authorized from time to time pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into between us and the trustee or an order delivered by us to the trustee. For each series of debt securities we offer, a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus will describe the following terms and conditions of the series of debt securities that we are offering, to the extent applicable:

One or more series of debt securities may be sold as “original issue discount” securities. These debt securities would be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. One or more series of debt securities may be variable rate debt securities that may be exchanged for fixed rate debt securities.

United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional United States federal income tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The term “debt securities” includes debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars or, if specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in any other freely transferable currency or units based on or relating to foreign currencies.

We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in the prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The indenture and the debt securities will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

We may issue, in one more series, units comprised of shares of our Common Stock and/or preferred stock, warrants to purchase Common Stock and/or preferred stock, debt securities or any combination of those securities. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

We may evidence units by unit certificates that we issue under a separate agreement. We may issue the units under a unit agreement between us and one or more unit agents. If we elect to enter into a unit agreement with a unit agent, the unit agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the units and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of units or beneficial owners of units. We will indicate the name and address and other information regarding the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units if we elect to use a unit agent.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:

The other provisions regarding our Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants and debt securities as described in this section will apply to each unit to the extent such unit consists of shares of our Common Stock, warrants and/or debt securities.

We may sell the securities covered in this prospectus in one or more of the following ways:

Each time that we use this prospectus to sell securities, we will also provide a prospectus supplement that contains the specific terms of the offering. The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of securities. Only underwriters named in the applicable prospectus supplement shall be underwriters of the securities offered thereby.

We may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified applicable date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.

Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). We may also use underwriters or such other third parties with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe the nature of any such relationship in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Upon written instruction from us, after entering into a distribution agency agreement with us, a sales agent may use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf, as our agent, the shares of Common Stock offered as agreed upon by us and the sales agent. We will designate the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock to be sold through the sales agent, on a daily basis or otherwise as we and the sales agent agree. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable distribution agency agreement, the sales agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as our sales agent and on our behalf, all of the designated shares of Common Stock. We may instruct the sales agent not to sell shares of Common Stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We may suspend the offering of shares of Common Stock under any distribution agency agreement by notifying the sales agent. Likewise, the sales agent may suspend the offering of shares of Common Stock under the applicable distribution agency agreement by notifying us of such suspension.

We also may sell shares to the sales agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to the sales agent as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the terms of such transaction or such sales may be provided for in the distribution agreement described above.

It is contemplated that the distribution agreements entered into with sales agents will allow such sales agents to make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or under any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an "at-the-market" offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, sales made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our Common Stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The name of any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of our Common Stock, the amounts underwritten, and the nature of its obligations to take our Common Stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP. If legal matters in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offerings.
