64、l of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities.You should read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully,including the section entitled“Risk Factors”in this prospectus and under Risk Factors in our most recent Annua
65、l Report on Form 10-K,along with our consolidated financial statements and notes to those consolidated financial statements and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus,before deciding to invest in our common stock.Business Overview We are a clinical-stage,research and deve
66、lopment biotechnology company focused on developing novel immunotherapy candidates for the treatment of different forms of cancer.We have developed two versatile and enabling platform technologies for rational design of precision immune modulatory drugs and have two clinical candidates and three pre
67、clinical candidates currently in development.Clinical candidate mipletamig is a CD3xCD123 T cell engager currently being clinically evaluated in the RAINIER trail,part one of a Phase 1b/2 program initiated in August 2024 for the treatment of frontline acute myelogenous leukemia(AML)in combination wi
68、th standard of care venetoclax+azacitidine.Clinical candidate ALG.APV-527 targets 4-1BB(co-stimulatory receptor)and 5T4(tumor antigen).The compound is designed to reactivate antigen-primed T cells to specifically kill tumor cells and is currently being evaluated for the treatment of multiple solid t
69、umor types.Preclinical candidates,APVO603 and APVO711,were also developed using our ADAPTIR modular protein technology platform.Our preclinical candidate APVO442 was developed using our ADAPTIR-FLEX modular protein technology platform.We wholly own both platforms which enable us to efficiently desig
70、n and create new molecules,supporting our pipeline growth.Our ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX platforms are designed to generate monospecific,bispecific,and multi-specific antibody candidates capable of enhancing the human immune system against cancer cells.ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX are both modular platfor
71、ms,which gives us the flexibility to potentially generate immunotherapeutic candidates with a variety of mechanisms of action.This flexibility in design allows us to generate novel therapeutic candidates that may provide effective strategies against difficult to treat,as well as advanced forms of ca
72、ncer.We have successfully designed and constructed numerous investigational-stage product candidates based on our ADAPTIR platform.The ADAPTIR platform technology is designed to generate monospecific and bispecific immunotherapeutic proteins that specifically bind to one or more targets,for example,
73、bispecific therapeutic molecules,which may have structural and functional advantages over monoclonal antibodies.We have also developed a preclinical candidate based on the ADAPTIR-FLEX platform which is advancing in our pipeline.The structural differences of ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR FLEX molecules over m
74、onoclonal antibodies allow for the development of immunotherapies that are designed to engage immune effector cells and disease targets to produce signaling responses that modulate the immune system to kill tumor cells.We believe we are skilled at candidate generation,validation,and subsequent precl
75、inical and clinical development.Our StrategyWe seek to grow our business by,among other things:Advancing our lead clinical blood cancer candidate,mipletamig,through clinical development to evaluate its therapeutic potential alone and in combination with other therapies.Based on the positive results
76、from our Phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion studies,we are conducting a dose optimization Phase 1b/2 trial,RAINIER,in frontline AML patients who are receiving a combination of mipletamig and the standard of care(venetoclax+azacitidine)for patients who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy to
77、assess safety and efficacy of mipletamig and to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose.Positive initial results from the frontline RAINIER trial show continued favorable efficacy and safety outcomes similar to those observed in the completed dose expansion phase of the trial.These results showed a 100
78、%complete remission rate in the first cohort,including one patient who experienced complete remission with no minimal residual disease(MRD-negative).All patients achieved remission within thirty(30)days of the start of treatment.Cohort 2 of the frontline RAINIER trial is currently enrolling.As of th
79、e date of this prospectus,we have reported that 9 of 10 2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm11/453 frontline patients across two trials achieved complete remission and complete remission with blood markers that have not yet r

81、gator Bioscience AB(Alligator),in the clinic.Aptevo and Alligator continue to investigate ALG.APV-527 for the treatment of multiple solid tumor types with 5T4-tumor expressing antigens.Preliminary results from the first five(5)cohorts that included nineteen(19)patients showed that 58%of patients ach
82、ieved a best response of stable disease.Positive safety(no liver toxicity,a common and potentially serious side effect associated with similar treatments),tolerability,and clinical activity.ALG.APV-527 targets the 4-1BB co-stimulatory receptor(on T lymphocytes and NK cells)and 5T4(solid tumor antige
83、n)and is designed to promote anti-tumor immunity.We believe this compound has the potential to be clinically important because 4-1BB can stimulate the immune cells(tumor-specific T cells and NK cells)involved in tumor control,making 4-1BB a particularly compelling target for cancer immunotherapy.Con
84、tinued development and advancement of our preclinical candidates,APVO603(targeting 4-1BB(CD137)and OX40(CD134),both members of the TNF-receptor family),APVO442(targeting Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen(PSMA),a tumor antigen that is highly expressed on prostate cancer cells and CD3),and APVO711(an
85、 anti-PD-L1 x anti-CD40 compound).We continue to advance APVO711,APVO603 and APVO442 through preclinical and IND-enabling studies.In January 2023,we filed a provisional patent with the U.S.Patent and Trademark Office(USPTO)pertaining to APVO711.In January 2024,the provisional patent was amended to i
86、nclude new preclinical data and a patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty(“PCT)pertaining to APVO711,which has the potential to treat a range of solid malignancies such as head and neck cancer.APVO711 is a dual mechanism bispecific antibody candidate that is designed to provide synerg
87、istic stimulation of CD40 on antigen presenting cells while simultaneously blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitory pathway to potentially promote a robust anti-tumor response.Preclinical studies are planned to further evaluate the mechanism of action and efficacy of APVO711.Development of novel bispecifi
88、c and multi-specific proteins for the treatment of cancer using our ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX platforms.We have expertise in molecular and cellular biology,immunology,oncology,pharmacology,translational sciences,antibody engineering and the development of protein therapeutics.This includes target val
89、idation,preclinical proof of concept,cell line development,protein purification,bioassay and process development and analytical characterization.We focus on product development using our ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX platforms.We plan to generate additional monospecific,bispecific,and multi-specific prot
90、ein immunotherapies for development,potentially with other collaborative partners,to exploit the potential of the ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX platforms.We will select novel candidates that have the potential to demonstrate proof of concept early in development.We expect to continue to expand the ADAPTI
91、R and ADAPTIR-FLEX product pipelines to address areas of unmet medical need.Bispecific therapeutics are increasingly recognized as potent anti-cancer agents.Sixteen new bispecific agents have been approved for use by the FDA in the last three years and there is a total of 125 bispecific drug candida
92、tes currently in development.We believe our candidates in development and our future molecules derived from our ADAPTIR and ADAPTIR-FLEX platforms will be highly competitive in the market as they are rationally designed for safety and tolerability as well as efficacy.Establishing collaborative partn
93、erships to broaden our pipeline and provide funding for research and development.We intend to pursue collaborations with other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies,academia,and non-governmental organizations to advance our product portfolio.2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/d

149、nded warrants in lieu thereof,all of which have been exercised as of May 12,2025)and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 288,643 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of$19.06 per share for a combined offering price of$19.06 per share and accompanying common warrants.We received$2.7
150、 million in gross proceeds less total issuance costs of$0.8 million.Issuance costs include banker and legal fees of$0.4 million and non-cash warrant modification costs of$0.4 million.The Company recognized the$0.4 modification date incremental value of the modified warrants as compared to the origin

152、ember 18,2024,we completed a registered direct offering(the September 2024 Registered Direct Offering)in which we issued 245,702 shares of Common Stock(or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof,all of which have been exercised as of May 12,2025)and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 491,403
153、 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of$8.60 per share for a combined offering price of$8.60 per share and accompanying common warrants.We received$3.0 million in gross proceeds less total issuance costs of$0.5 million.Issuance costs include banker and legal fees of$0.4 million and non-cash
154、warrant modification costs of$0.1 million.The Company recognized the$0.1 million modification date incremental value of the modified warrants as compared to the original warrants as a non-cash issuance cost of the September 2024 Registered Direct Offering.As of May 12,2025,all common warrants issued
155、 in connection with the September 2024 Registered Direct Offering(the September 2024 Warrants)have been exercised.On December 12,2024,we entered into a warrant inducement agreement(the December 2024 Inducement Agreement)with certain holders of our 2023 Warrants,April 2024 Warrants,July 2024 Warrants
156、 and September 2024 Warrants(together,the Existing Warrants)to exercise for cash 823,544 Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of$7.50 per share.Additionally,pursuant to the December 2024 Inducement Agreement,we issued 1,647,088 common warrants(the December 2024 Warrants,and,together with th
157、e remaining April 2024 Warrants and July 2024 Warrants,the 2024 Warrants)with an exercise price of$9.53 per share.We received$6.2 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of these warrants less total issuance costs of$0.6 million,which includes banker and legal fees.The common warrants in connect
158、ion with the December 2024 Warrant Inducement were equity classified.The fair value of existing common warrants immediately before and after were$3.5 million and$3.6 million,respectively.The fair value of the newly issued warrants was$7.3 million.Given the common warrants were equity classified,the
159、modified fair value of existing common warrants and the newly issued common warrants to purchase Common Stock has been accounted for in additional paid-in capital as an equity cost because the modification was done in order to raise equity by inducing the exercise of warrants.As of May 12,2025,there
160、 were 1,647,088 December 2024 Warrants outstanding with an exercise price of$9.53 per share.The exercise price of the December 2024 Warrants will be amended to$1.19 per share upon approval by stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on May 14,2025.In the event that we are unable
161、to obtain such stockholder approval,the exercise price of the December 2024 Warrants will remain$9.53 per share.Common Warrants-April 2025-On May 12,2025,we have issued and outstanding Common Warrants to purchase up to 3,529,420 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of$1.19 per share issue
162、d as part of our April 2025 Offering.The Common Warrants will become exercisable upon approval by stockholders and will expire 5 years from such stockholder approval(the“Stockholder Approval”).We intend to hold a special meeting of stockholders on May 14,2025 to approve,among other things,the issuan
163、ce of the Common Warrants.If we do not obtain Stockholder Approval with respect to the terms of the Common Warrants at the first special meeting of the stockholders to be held on May 14,2025,we have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to call a meeting every sixty(60)days thereafter to seek such S
164、tockholder Approval until the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Common Warrants are no longer outstanding.In the event that we are unable to obtain such Stockholder Approval,the Common Warrants will not be exercisable and therefore have no value.If,at any time the Common Warrants
165、 are outstanding and a fundamental transaction,as described in the Common Warrant,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 me
166、rger 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,occurs the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exerc
167、ise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities,cash or other property 2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm22/45 12 that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to
168、 such fundamental transaction,other than one in which a successor entity that is a publicly traded corporation(whose stock is quoted or listed for trading on a national securities exchange,including,but not limited to,the New York Stock Exchange,the NYSE American,the Nasdaq Global Select Market,the
169、Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market)assumes the common warrant such that the warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded common stock of such successor entity.Additionally,as more fully described in the Common Warrants,at the option of the holders of the common warrants the ho
170、lder can receive consideration in the same type and form of an amount equal to the Black Scholes value(as defined in the common warrant)of such unexercised common warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of the holders
171、ownership of shares of our Common Stock,such holder of Common Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Common Stock,including any voting rights,until such holder exercises such holders Common Warrants.The Common Warrants provide that the holders of the Common Warrants have
172、the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares of Common Stock.Registration Rights of holders of the Common WarrantsAs set forth in the April 2025 Offering,we agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3(or other appropriate form,including on Form S-1,if we are not
173、then S-3 eligible)to register the resale of the Resale Shares upon exercise of the Common Warrants(the“Resale Registration Statement”)as soon as reasonably practicable(and in any event by May 3,2025),and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to become eff
174、ective by June 2,2025(or by July 2,2025 in case of“full review”of such registration statement by the SEC)and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the Common Warrants owns any Common Warrants or Resale Shares.Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Certi
175、ficate of Incorporation,Our Bylaws,the DGCL and our Rights PlanDelaware LawWe are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL,which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder becam
176、e an interested stockholder,with the following exceptions:before such date,the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the
177、 stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,the interested stockholder owned at least 85%of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began,excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding(but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the inter
178、ested stockholder)those shares owned(1)by persons who are directors and also officers and(2)employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;or on or after such
179、 date,the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders,and not by written consent,by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3%of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.In general,Sec
180、tion 203 defines a“business combination”to include the following:any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;any sale,transfer,pledge or other disposition of 10%or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;subject to certain e
181、xceptions,any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporati
182、on beneficially owned by the interested stockholder;or 2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm23/45 13 the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,advances,guarantees,pledges or other financial benefits
183、 by or through the corporation.In general,Section 203 defines an“interested stockholder”as an entity or person who,together with the persons affiliates and associates,beneficially owns,or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own,15%or more of the
184、 outstanding voting stock of the corporation.Staggered Board;Removal of Directors.Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for our board of directors to be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms.Only one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting o
185、f our stockholders,with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms.Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights,stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding are able to elect all of our directors.Our certificate o
186、f incorporation and our bylaws also provide that directors may be removed by the stockholders only for cause upon the vote of 75%of our outstanding Common Stock.Furthermore,the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors,and vacancies and newly created
187、directorships on the board of directors may,except as otherwise required by law or determined by the board,only be filled by a majority vote of the directors then serving on the board,even though less than a quorum.Stockholder Action by Written Consent.Our amended and restated certificate of incorpo
188、ration and amended and restated bylaws also provide that all stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that only our chairman of the b
189、oard,chief executive officer or the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors may call a special meeting of stockholders.Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations,Proposals and Amendments.Our amended and resta
190、ted bylaws also provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide timely advance notice in writing,and specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders no
191、tice.Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the stockholders cannot amend many of the provisions described above except by a vote of 75%or more of our outstanding Common Stock.Shareholder Rights Plan.On November 8,2020,our board of directors adopted a rights plan pursuant to our Ri
192、ghts Agreement.The rights plan works by causing substantial dilution to any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of ten percent(10%)or more of our Common Stock without the approval of our board of directors.As a result,the overall effect of the rights plan and the issuance of the right
193、s pursuant to the rights plan may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger,tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by our board of directors.The rights plan is not intended to interfere with any merger,tender or exchange offer or ot
194、her business combination approved by our board of directors.The rights plan also does not prevent our board of directors from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interest of our stockholders.These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the c
195、omposition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights.However,such provisi
196、ons could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management.As a consequence,these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored
197、 takeover attempts.We believe that the benefits of these provisions,including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company,outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals,bec
198、ause negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.On November 1,2024,we entered into Amendment No.4 to the Rights Agreement(the Amendment),dated as of November 8,2020,between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions,Inc.,as Rights Agent,as amended.The
199、Amendment extends the definition of“Final Expiration Date”(as defined in the Rights Agreement)and certain related language in the Rights Agreement to October 31,2025.The Amendment also changes the definition of“Purchase Price”(as defined in the Rights Agreement)and certain related language in the Ri
200、ghts Agreement to$70 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share.2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm24/45 2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm25/45 1

208、nd adversely affect our business,financial condition,cash flows and results of operations,and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.Please also read carefully the section above entitled“Forward-Looking Statements.”Additional Risks Related to This OfferingThe number of shares being registe
209、red for resale is significant in relation to the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.We have filed a registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to register the shares offered hereunder for sale into the public market by the selling stockholder.These shares represent a lar
210、ge number of shares of our Common Stock,and if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time,could depress the market price of our Common Stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital.You may also experience
211、future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.In order to raise additional capital,we may in the future offer additional common shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares that could result in further dilution to the investors purchasing our common shar
212、es in this offering or result in downward pressure on the price of our common shares.We may sell our common shares or other securities in any other offering at prices that are higher or lower than the prices paid by the investors in this offering,and the investors purchasing shares or other securiti
213、es in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders.Moreover,to the extent that we issue subscription rights,options or warrants to purchase,or securities convertible into or exchangeable for,our common shares in the future and those subscription rights,options,warrants or other sec
214、urities are exercised,converted or exchanged,stockholders may experience further dilution.For example,on April 28,2025,we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement(the SalesAgreement)with Roth Capital Partners(Roth).The Sales Agreement provides that,upon the terms and subject tothe conditions
215、 set forth therein,we may issue and sell through Roth,acting as sales agent,shares of our commonstock having an aggregate offering price of up to$50 million.Any future sale of our common stock by Roth will beeffected pursuant to a registration statement(the Registration Statement)on Form S-3 which w
216、e filed on February14,2025,and subsequently amended and supplemented on April 28 and April 29,2025.As of May 12,2025,wehave sold 2,347,114 shares of our common stock at an aggregate gross offering price of$0.4568 pursuant to theSales Agreement and the Registration Statement and accompanying prospect
217、us for aggregate gross sale proceeds ofapproximately$1.1 million and while we have no obligation to sell any additional shares of our common stockunder the Sales Agreement,in the future,we may sell additional shares of our common stock under the SalesAgreement which may result in further dilution to
218、 investors purchasing our common shares in this offering.2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250513.htm27/45 16Our Common Stock may be at risk for delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future if we do not maintain compliance
219、with Nasdaqs continued listing requirements.Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our Common Stock,and the market price of our Common Stock could decrease.Our Common Stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC(Nasdaq),and on May 12,2025,the last reported sale price of our
220、Common Stock on Nasdaq was$0.34 per share.Nasdaq has minimum requirements that a company must meet to remain listed on Nasdaq,including corporate governance standards and a requirement that we maintain a minimum closing bid price of$1.00 per share,among other requirements.If the sale price of our Co
221、mmon Stock remains below$1.00 per share,for 30 consecutive business days,we will fail to meet the minimum closing bid price requirement by the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)(the“Bid Price Requirement”).If we fail to meet the Bid Price Requirement,we are not eligible
222、 for a 180-day cure period from Nasdaq to regain compliance with such requirement because we have conducted a reverse stock split in the past year,and thus we would be immediately delisted.To maintain our ability to comply with the Bid Price Requirement,we are holding a special meeting of our stockh
223、olders on May 14,2025 in order to,among other things,effect a reverse stock split.If this reverse stock split is approved,we would,if necessary,seek to effectuate a reverse stock split prior to failing to meet the Bid Price Requirement.In the future,if we fail to maintain the minimum listing require
224、ments of Nasdaq and a final determination is made by Nasdaq that our Common Stock must be delisted,the liquidity of our Common Stock would be adversely affected,and the market price of our Common Stock could decrease.In addition,if delisted,we would no longer be subject to Nasdaq rules,including rul
225、es requiring us to have a certain number of independent directors and to meet other corporate governance standards.Our failure to be listed on Nasdaq or another established securities market would have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment in us.If our Common Stock is not listed
226、on Nasdaq or another national exchange,the trading price of our Common Stock is below$5.00 per share and we have net tangible assets of$6,000,000 or less,the open-market trading of our Common Stock will be subject to the penny stock rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amen
227、ded.If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules,broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions,and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.2025/5/14 15:08S-1https:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1671584/000095017025070551/apvo-2025-s1_-_20250
