Our Company
We are a biopharmaceutical company developing novel biomarker-targeted antibody therapies designed to treat patients with cancer by inhibiting fundamental tumor-promoting pathways, targeting cancer-specific cell surface molecules, and harnessing the immune system to attack cancer cells. Our lead clinical stage program is DKN-01, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits Dickkopf-related protein 1 (“DKK1”). We are currently studying DKN-01 in multiple ongoing clinical trials in patients with esophagogastric cancer, gynecologic cancers, or colorectal cancer. Our second clinical stage program is FL-301, a monoclonal antibody that targets cells that express Claudin18.2 on their cell surface. We also have two preclinical antibody programs, FL-302 and FL-501.
We were incorporated in the state of Delaware as Dekkun Corporation on January 3, 2011 and changed our name to HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. effective May 29, 2014, and then to Leap Therapeutics, Inc. effective November 16, 2015. During 2015, HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd. (“HCP Australia”) was formed and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. During January 2017, the Company merged with Macrocure Ltd. (now “Leap Therapeutics Ltd.”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Macrocure, Inc. On January 17, 2023, we entered into a merger agreement with Flame Biosciences, Inc. (“Flame”), a privately-held biotechnology company, to acquire Flame and Flame’s clinical stage program, FL-301, two preclinical programs, FL-302 and FL-501, and cash balance, whereby Flame became a wholly owned subsidiary under the name Flame Biosciences, LLC (the “Flame Acquisition Transaction”).
Our principal executive offices are located at 47 Thorndike Street, Suite B1-1, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141, and our telephone number is (617) 714-0360. Our website address is www.leaptx.com.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and each prospectus supplement, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, contains or may contain forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, may not occur. Generally, these statements relate to our business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, financing plans, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions that we may make, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results or financial position, and the outcome of any contingencies. Any such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections of management. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “continue,” “target,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “predict,” “possible,” “potential,” “pursue,” “likely,” and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding estimations of projected cash runway; our future product development plans; the potential, safety, efficacy, and regulatory and clinical progress of the our product candidates, including the anticipated timing for initiation of clinical trials and release of clinical trial data and the expectations surrounding potential regulatory submissions, approvals and timing thereof; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements.
Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the factors that we identify in any of the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated into this prospectus and the registration statement by reference, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in any of our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for any year ended after December 31, 2022.
You should also consider carefully the information set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated herein by reference, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our updates to those risk factors in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and other factors described elsewhere in this prospectus. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks, factors and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

If all of the Warrants were cash exercised at their respective current applicable exercise prices, the gross proceeds to us from such cash exercises would be approximately $344,971. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from the cash exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. The Warrants may also be exercised on a cashless basis. If the Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The term “selling stockholders” includes the stockholders listed below and their transferees, pledges, donees or other successors-in-interest who may acquire shares from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change after the date of this prospectus and changed information will be presented in a supplement to this prospectus if and when required.
This prospectus covers the offering for resale from time to time, in one or more offerings, of up to 162,677,093 shares of our common stock, which consist of (i) 6,191,782 shares of our common stock that are outstanding and held by certain of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus and (ii) the following additional shares of our common stock issued or issuable by us to certain of the selling stockholders named in this prospectus in connection with our acquisition of Flame Bioscience, Inc. (“Flame”) on January 17, 2023 pursuant to a merger transaction that was structured as a private placement (the “Flame Acquisition Transaction”): (1) 19,729,010 outstanding shares of our common stock that were issued by us pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction; (2) 65,301 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants that were assumed by us pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction (the “Common Stock Warrants”); (3) 136,248,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of 136,248 outstanding shares of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 per share (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), that were issued by us pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction; and (4) 443,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon (a) conversion of 443 shares of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants that were assumed by us pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction and that are currently exercisable for 443 shares of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock or (b) exercise of such outstanding warrants that are currently exercisable for 443 shares of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at any time after such outstanding warrants are automatically adjusted to become exercisable for up to 443,000 shares of our common stock upon conversion of the outstanding shares of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock (the “Preferred Stock Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock Warrants, the “Warrants”).
On January 17, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Flame Acquisition Transaction, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain of the selling stockholders that were securityholders of Flame at the time (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to cover the resale of the shares of our common stock issued or issuable by us to them in connection with our acquisition of Flame, and to keep such registration statement effective with respect to each selling stockholder that is a party to the Registration Rights Agreement until January 17, 2026 or, if earlier, the date on which all of the shares of our common stock registered for resale under the registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, disposed of pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or can be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation (including without any limitation under Rule 144 as to volume of sales and method of sale requirements). The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is being filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The table below sets forth (i) the name of each selling stockholder, (ii) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder as of June 7, 2023 (solely for purposes of the table below and all footnotes thereto, treating all 136,248,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 136,248 shares of Series X Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 7, 2023 as if such shares of our common stock were beneficially owned as of June 7, 2023 by the holders of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock to the same extent as if all of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock as of June 7, 2023 and disregarding certain of the terms of the Series X Preferred Stock that would prevent or limit such conversion as further described in the next paragraph), (iii) the number of shares of common stock offered by each selling stockholder hereunder, (iv) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder following the completion of this offering (assuming each selling stockholder sells all of the shares of our common stock that are being offered by such selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus), and (v) the percentage of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder following the completion of this offering

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
(assuming each selling stockholder sells all of the shares of our common stock that are being offered by such selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus), based on 119,410,992 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 7, 2023 and, solely for purposes of the table below and all footnotes thereto, treating all 136,248,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 136,248 shares of Series X Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 7, 2023 as if such shares of our common stock were beneficially owned as of June 7, 2023 by the holders of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock to the same extent as if all of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock as of June 7, 2023 and disregarding certain of the terms of the Series X Preferred Stock that would prevent or limit such conversion as further described in the next paragraph. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the selling stockholders.
The terms of the Series X Preferred Stock provide that (i) each outstanding share of Series X Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock, subject to and contingent upon obtaining the requisite vote from our stockholders approving such conversion in accordance with the applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Preferred Conversion Limitation”), and (ii) such conversion will occur automatically, except as described in the next sentence, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the second trading day after we obtain such requisite vote from our stockholders approving such conversion. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not obtained such requisite vote from our stockholders approving such conversion and, therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Series X Preferred Stock, at this time none of the outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock have converted or are convertible into shares of our common stock. The terms of the Series X Preferred Stock also provide that, notwithstanding the automatic conversion of the Series X Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock upon obtaining the requisite vote from our stockholders approving such conversion, no shares of Series X Preferred Stock shall automatically convert, or at any time thereafter be convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof, into shares of our common stock if and to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock being converted, together with such holder’s affiliates and certain other persons or entities that are aggregated with such holder and its affiliates, beneficially owning more than 9.9% initially of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). For purposes of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder. By written notice to us, a holder of Series X Preferred Stock may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to such holder to any percentage greater than 9.9% but not in excess of 19.99%. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would not be effective until 61 days after written notice is received by us.
Solely for purposes of the table below, the information under the headings “Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” and “Shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned After the Offering” disregards the Nasdaq Preferred Conversion Limitation and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation described above and treats all 136,248,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 136,248 shares of Series X Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 7, 2023 as if such shares of our common stock were beneficially owned as of June 7, 2023 by the holders of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock to the same extent as if all of such shares of Series X Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock as of June 7, 2023. Accordingly, to that extent and solely for purposes of the table below, each selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership of our common stock has not been determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder. Each selling stockholder and its affiliates and other aggregation persons or entities disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of our common stock that are reflected in the table below as beneficially owned by such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates and other aggregation person or entities solely because the Nasdaq Preferred Conversion Limitation and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation have been disregarded.
The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because each selling stockholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be beneficially owned by a selling stockholder upon termination of this offering. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of their shares of common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. For purposes of the table below, however, we have

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
assumed that after termination of this offering, none of the shares of our common stock registered for resale under this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, and we have further assumed that the selling stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of our common stock during this offering.
To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, each selling stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock shown in the table to be beneficially owned by such stockholder. Except as described below, none of the selling stockholders has had any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years. In addition, based on information provided to us, none of the selling stockholders that are affiliates of broker-dealers, if any, purchased the shares of our common stock outside the ordinary course of business or, at the time of their acquisition of such shares, had any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any other persons, directly or indirectly, to dispose of the shares. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus to the extent required.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder of the securities named herein may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded, in private transactions or otherwise. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales;

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if any of them defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION
ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 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 us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such person as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.
 
II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by the Registrant upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance expenses to each indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrant’s directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and the Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
The Registrant maintains an insurance policy covering its officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise.
Item 16.   Exhibits.
The exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K and Item 16 of this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the signature page and such list is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17.   Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B,
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Leap Therapeutics, Inc., Registration Statement on Form S-3

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for Leap Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on the date hereof. The Registration Statement relates to the offer and sale, from time to time by certain stockholders of the Company identified in the Registration Statement, of up to 162,677,093 shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), which includes (i) 6,191,782 shares of Common Stock that are outstanding and held by certain of the selling stockholders named in the prospectus accompanying the Registration Statement (the “Outstanding Non-Flame Transaction Common Shares”), (ii) 19,729,010 outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Outstanding Flame Transaction Common Shares” and, collectively with the Outstanding Non-Flame Transaction Common Shares, the “Outstanding Common Shares”) that were issued by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Flame Bioscience, Inc. (the “Flame Acquisition Transaction), (iii) 65,301 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Warrants Shares”) issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants that were assumed by the Company pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction (the “Common Stock Warrants”), (iv) 136,248,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) issuable upon conversion of 136,248 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), that were issued by the Company pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction, and (v) 443,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Preferred Stock Warrants Shares”) issuable upon (1) conversion of up to 443 shares of Preferred Stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants that were assumed by the Company pursuant to the Flame Acquisition Transaction and that are currently exercisable for 443 shares of Preferred Stock or (2) exercise of such outstanding warrants that are currently exercisable for 443 shares of Preferred Stock at any time after such outstanding warrants are automatically adjusted to become exercisable for up to 443,000 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (the “Preferred Stock Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock Warrants, the “Warrants”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.

 

In connection with this letter, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Company Charter"), (iii) the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”), (iv) the Warrants and (v) such other corporate documents and records as we deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinions set forth herein.

 

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the instruments, documents, certificates and records we have reviewed, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

 

We have also assumed that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement's effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect, in each case, at the time that any of the Common Shares are offered and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and (ii) all of the Common Shares will be offered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

 

 

 

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Outstanding Common Shares have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) the Common Stock Warrants Shares, when issued upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants in accordance with their respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (iii) the Conversion Shares, when issued upon conversion of the 136,248 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof as set forth in the Certificate of Designation and provided that a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available at the time of such conversion, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (iv) any of the Preferred Stock Warrants Shares, if and when issued upon the conversion, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, of any of up to 443 shares of Preferred Stock that, at any time prior to such conversion, may have been issued upon exercise of any of the Preferred Stock Warrants in accordance with their respective terms, and provided that a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available at the time of such conversion, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and (v) any of the Preferred Stock Warrants Shares, if and when issued upon exercise of any of the Preferred Stock Warrants and provided that a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available at the time of such exercise, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Our opinion expressed above is subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions.

 

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and reported judicial decisions applicable thereto and we express no opinion as to laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

This letter is effective only as of the date hereof. We do not assume responsibility for updating this letter as of any date subsequent to its date, and we assume no responsibility for advising you of any changes with respect to any matters described in this letter that may occur, or facts that may come to our attention, subsequent to the date hereof.

 

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

Very truly yours,
