ABOUT
THE COMPANY
Company Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused
on the commercialization and development of products that target markets with underserved patient populations. In July 2020, we received
regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for RVL-1201 (oxymetazoline hydrocholoride ophthalmic solution,
0.1%), or Upneeq, for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis, or droopy or low-lying eyelids, in adults. Upneeq was commercially launched
in September 2020 to a limited number of eye care professionals with commercial operations expanded in 2021 among ophthalmology,
optometry and oculoplastic specialties. In February 2022, Upneeq was commercially expanded into the medical aesthetics market in
the United States.
Financing Transactions
On
August 15, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in connection with a registered
direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”) and concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and,
together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offerings”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”).
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to offer and sell to the Purchaser in the Registered Direct Offering 11,000,000 ordinary shares (the
“Registered Direct Shares”) and pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate
of 870,846 ordinary shares. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, are immediately exercisable and
can be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. Each Registered
Direct Share was sold at an offering price of $0.4212 per share, and each Pre-Funded Warrant was sold at an offering price of
$0.4112, which is equal to the purchase price per Registered Direct Share less $0.01. The Purchaser may not exercise any portion of the
Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent the Purchaser would own more than 9.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares immediately after exercise.
The Purchaser may increase or decrease this percentage to a percentage not in excess of 9.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior
notice to the Company.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, we also agreed to issue to the Purchaser in the Private Placement the Private Placement Warrants. Each Private
Placement Warrant has an exercise price of $0.4212 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are not exercisable until the shareholders
of the Company approve the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants and the ordinary shares upon the exercise thereof (the “Shareholder
Approval”). The Series A-1 Ordinary Warrants will expire five (5) years following the date of Shareholder Approval. The
Series A-2 Ordinary Warrants will expire eighteen (18) months following the date of Shareholder Approval. The Purchaser may not exercise
any portion of the Private Placement Warrants to the extent the Purchaser would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding ordinary shares
immediately after exercise. The Purchaser may increase or decrease this percentage with respect to either the Series A-1 Ordinary
Warrants or the Series A-2 Ordinary Warrants to a percentage not in excess of 9.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice
to the Company.
In
connection with the Offerings, the Company also agreed to issue the Placement Agent Warrants to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, the
placement agent for the Offerings, or its designees, on substantially the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants except that the
exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $0.5265 (or 125% of the offering price per ordinary share in the Offerings) and the
Placement Agent Warrants have an expiration date of August 15, 2028.
The Offerings
closed on August 18, 2023.
Corporate Information

400 Crossing Boulevard, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807, and our registered office in Ireland is 3 Dublin Landings, North Wall Quay, Dublin

RISK
FACTORS
An investment in our ordinary shares involves
risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our ordinary shares, you should consider carefully the risks together with all of
the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including any risks described in the section entitled
“Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on May 11, 2023, our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Each of the referenced risks and uncertainties could
adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment
in our securities. Additional risks not known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition and the value of an investment in our securities.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and
the other documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference, contain forward-looking statements. All statements
other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the other documents we have filed
with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial
position, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,”
“may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based
these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we
believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short- and long-term business operations and objectives
and financial needs.
We may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place significant reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results
or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Important
factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include
the following:
| · | Our ability to continue our operations and remain in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants of the documents governing
our indebtedness requires that we raise additional capital and, if we are unable to obtain the additional funding as or when needed, our
operations could be curtailed or discontinued or our lender could have the ability to demand repayment of all outstanding debt. |
| · | Due to our dependence on one product, Upneeq, our business would be materially adversely affected if Upneeq does not perform as well
as expected. |
| · | Upneeq may fail to achieve sufficient market acceptance by clinicians and patients, or others in the medical community, and the market
opportunity for Upneeq may be smaller than we estimate. |
| · | If we are unable to successfully commercialize Upneeq on a timely or cost effective basis, our operating results will suffer. |
| · | Our profitability depends on our customers’ willingness to pay the price we charge for Upneeq. If we decide to lower the price
we charge for Upneeq our profitability could materially suffer. |
| · | Our marketing and sales expenditures may not result in the commercial success of Upneeq. |
| · | If we are unable to maintain our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, or establish additional capabilities if and when
necessary, we may not be successful in commercializing Upneeq. |
| · | We depend to a large extent on third-party suppliers and distributors for Upneeq, including Nephron Pharmaceuticals, and if such suppliers
and distributors are unable to supply raw materials for manufacture and deliver Upneeq in a timely manner, or are unable to manufacture
Upneeq at a scale sufficient to meet demand, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of
operations. |
| · | Manufacturing or quality control problems at our or our third-party manufacturing facility operated by Nephron Pharmaceuticals may
damage our reputation for quality production, require costly remedial activities, delay or interrupt the supply of Upneeq, and negatively
impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. |
| · | If Upneeq does not produce the intended effects, our business may suffer. |
| · | The terms of the documentation governing our indebtedness restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to
respond to changes or to take certain actions. |
| · | Other factors that are described in Part 1, Item 1A "Risk Factors" section of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023, and
Part 2, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on May 11,
2023, and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on August 14,
2023. |
The forward-looking statements included in this
prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the other documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference are
made only as of the date on the front of those documents only. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future
events. We cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking
statements will be achieved or occur. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the other documents we have filed with the
SEC that are incorporated herein by reference to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
You should read this prospectus, any prospectus
supplement and the other documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein with the understanding that our
actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by
the Selling Shareholders of up to 24,572,651 ordinary shares. The Selling Shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from sales
of the ordinary shares pursuant to this prospectus. We are not selling any ordinary shares under this prospectus, and we will not receive
any proceeds from the sale of any ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholders. See “Selling Shareholders.”
SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
The ordinary shares being offered by the Selling
Shareholders are those issuable to the Selling Shareholders upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the Offerings,
see “About the Company – Financing Transactions.” We are registering the Registered Securities in order to permit the
Selling Shareholders to offer such securities for sale from time to time.
The table below lists the Selling Shareholders
and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares of each of the Selling Shareholders. The second column
lists the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each Selling Shareholder, based on its ownership of the Warrants and our ordinary
shares, as of August 22, 2023, assuming exercise of all Warrants held by such Selling Shareholder on that date, without regard to
any limitations on exercise.
This prospectus generally covers the resale of
the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Warrants were exercised
in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was initially
filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination, without regard to any limitations
on the exercise of the Warrants. The third column assumes the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant
to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Shareholder
may not exercise a Warrant to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution
parties, to beneficially own a number of ordinary shares which would exceed 4.99% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant. The number of ordinary shares in the columns
below does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Shareholders may sell all, some or none of their ordinary shares in this offering.

(1) | The Warrants contain certain beneficial ownership limitations, which provide that a holder of the securities will not have the right
to exercise any portion of its Warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, would beneficially own in
excess of 4.99% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that upon at least
61 days' prior notice to us, a holder may increase or decrease such limitation up to a maximum of 9.99% of the number of ordinary shares
outstanding. Additionally, shareholders may have acquired ordinary shares on the open market without the Company's knowledge that may
not be reflected. |
(2) | Represents ordinary shares underlying the Warrants issued to the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Offerings and offered
hereby. |
(3) | We do not know when or in what amounts a Selling Shareholder may offer ordinary shares for sale. The Selling Shareholders might not
sell any or might sell all of the ordinary shares offered by this prospectus. Because the Selling Shareholders may offer all or some of
the ordinary shares pursuant to this offering, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect
to the sale of any of the ordinary shares, we cannot estimate the number of the ordinary shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders
after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of
the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the Selling Shareholders. |
(4) | These securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the "Master Fund"), a Cayman Islands exempted
company, and may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Armistice Capital, LLC ("Armistice"), as the investment manager
of Master Fund, and Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice. Armistice and Steven Boyd disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported
securities except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein. The address of Master Fund is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC,
510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022. |
(5) | These shares are comprised of (i) 9,777,154 ordinary shares, (ii) 870,846 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of
the Pre-Funded Warrants and (iii) 23,741,692 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and excludes 4,840,000 ordinary
shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase ordinary shares issued in October 2021, which contain a beneficial ownership
limitation that provides that a holder of the securities will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrants if such holder,
together with its affiliates and attribution parties, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such exercise. |
(6) | The Selling Shareholder is affiliated with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, a registered
broker dealer with a registered address of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, 430 Park Ave, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, and has sole
voting and dispositive power over the securities held. The number of ordinary shares beneficially owned prior to this offering consist
of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, which were received as compensation in connection with the
Registered Direct Offering. The Selling Shareholder acquired the Placement Agent Warrants in the ordinary course of business and, at the
time the Placement Agent Warrants were acquired, the Selling Shareholder had no agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with
any person to distribute such securities. |
(7) | These shares are comprised of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. |
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Registered
Securities on behalf of the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees, distributees and successors-in-interest in the
Registered Securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Shareholder as a gift, pledge, or other transfer, may,
from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the ordinary shares covered hereby on the Nasdaq Global Select
Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded or in private transactions. These
dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of
sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling ordinary shares:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the ordinary shares 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; |
| · | exchange distributions in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | settlement of short sales; |
| · | transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such ordinary shares 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. |
If a Selling Shareholder effects
such transactions by selling ordinary shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or
agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from such Selling Shareholder or commissions from
purchasers of the ordinary shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or
commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).
The Selling Shareholders may,
from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Registered Securities owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Registered Securities, from time
to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer
the Registered Securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the
selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale
of the Registered Securities, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the Registered Securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. To the extent
permitted by applicable securities laws, the Selling Shareholders may also sell the Registered Securities short and deliver these securities
to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Registered Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation
of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Registered
Securities offered by this prospectus, which Registered Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant
to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to
the Selling Shareholders from the sale of the Registered Securities offered by them will be the purchase price of the Registered Securities
less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from
time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of the Registered Securities to be made directly or through agents.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The Selling Shareholders also
may resell all or a portion of the Registered Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The Selling Shareholders and
any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Registered Securities or interests therein may be “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale
of the Registered Securities covered by this prospectus may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling
shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the
Registered Securities to be sold, the names of the Selling Shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the
names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The following table sets forth an estimate of the
fees and expenses relating to the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereby, other than underwriting discounts
and commissions, all of which, except for the SEC registration fee, shall be borne by the Selling Shareholders. All of such fees and expenses,
except for the SEC registration fee, are estimated:
SEC registration fee | |
$ | 487 | |
Legal fees and expenses | |
$ | 60,000 | |
Accounting fees and expenses | |
$ | 25,000 | |
Miscellaneous fees and expenses | |
$ | 14,513 | |

$ | 100,000 | |
Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Irish Companies Act of 2014 (the "Irish Companies Act")
and our Articles of Association contained in our Constitution.
To
the fullest extent permitted by Irish law, our Articles of Association (which were previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 18, 2022 and incorporated herein by reference) confer an indemnity
on our directors and officers. However, such indemnity is limited by the Irish Companies Act,
which prescribes that an advance commitment to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director
or corporate secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or corporate secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect
of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or corporate secretary acted honestly and reasonably
and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or corporate
secretary over and above the limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Act will be void under Irish law, whether contained in its articles
of association or any contract between the company and the director or corporate secretary. Such a restriction does not apply to our executives
who are not directors, the corporate secretary or other persons who would be considered "officers" within the meaning of that
term under the Irish Companies Act.
Our Articles of Association also contain indemnification
and expense advancement provisions for persons who are not directors or our corporate secretary.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability
insurance, as well as other types of insurance, for our directors, officers, employees and agents, which is permitted under our Articles
of Association and the Irish Companies Act.
We and certain of our subsidiaries have entered
into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers providing for customary indemnification in connection with their
service to us or on our behalf to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law.
Item 16. Exhibits.
4.1 |
Shareholders' Agreement (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 28, 2019, Commission File No. 001-38709) |
4.2 |
Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 20, 2020, to the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2018, by and among, RVL Pharmaceuticals plc, ACP Holdco (Offshore), L.P., ACP III AIV, L.P., Altchem Limited, Orbit Co-Invest A-I LLC, Orbit Co-Invest I LLC, Orbit Co-Invest III LLC, and the management shareholders identified therein (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 30, 2021, Commission File No. 001-38709) |
Item 17. Undertakings.
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 of 1933; |
| (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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Filing Fee Tables” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part
of this registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
| (i) | 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 |
| (ii) | 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. |
| (5) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the 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. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Form S-3 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in the City of Bridgewater, New Jersey, on the 23rd day of August, 2023.

Ladies & Gentlemen
We are acting as Irish counsel to the Company,
a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (registered number 607944), in connection with the filing of a registration
statement (the Registration Statement) on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), with respect to the resale or other disposition by the persons
identified in the Registration Statement from time to time of:
(i) up to 11,870,846 ordinary shares, nominal
value of $0.01 per share, in the capital of the Company (the Ordinary Shares), underlying those certain Series A-1 Ordinary
Share Purchase Warrants previously issued by the Company pursuant to a securities purchase agreement made between the Company and Armistice
Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the Securities Purchase Agreement) dated 15 August 2023 (the Series A-1 Warrants);
(ii) up to 11,870,846 Ordinary Shares underlying
those certain Series A-2 Ordinary Share Purchase Warrants previously issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the Series A-2 Warrants); and
(iii) up to 830,959 Ordinary Shares underlying
those certain Placement Agent Warrants previously issued by the Company on 18 August 2023 (the Placement Agent Warrants and
together with the Series A-1 Warrants and Series A-2 Warrants, the Warrants).
The 24,572,651 Ordinary Shares referred to above
are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Warrant Shares.
In connection with this Opinion, we have examined
and relied upon copies of:
1.1 | the Registration Statement; |
1.3 | the Securities Purchase Agreement (together with the Warrants, the Transaction Documents); and |
CE Gill • JG Grennan • PD White • VJ Power • LA Kennedy • SM Doggett • B McDermott • S O’Riordan • M Sherlock • KP Allen • C Rogers • G O’Toole • JN Kelly • N O’Sullivan MJ Ward • AC Burke • D Widger • C Christle • S Ó Cróinin • DR Baxter • A McCarthy • JF Whelan • JB Somerville • MF Barr • AM Curran • A Roberts • RM Moore • D Main • J Cahir M Traynor • PM Murray • P Walker • K Furlong • PT Fahy • D Inverarity • M Coghlan • DR Francis • A Casey • B Hosty • M O’Brien • L Mulleady • K Ryan • E Hurley • D Dagostino • R Grey R Lyons • J Sheehy • C Carroll • SE Carson • P Diggin • J Williams • A O’Beirne • J Dallas • SM Lynch • M McElhinney • C Owens • AD Ion • K O'Connor • JH Milne • T Casey M Doyle • CJ Comerford • R Marron • K O'Shaughnessy • S O'Connor • SE Murphy • D Nangle • A Lawler • C Ó Conluain • N McMahon • HP Brandt • A Sheridan • LM Byrne • N Cole M Devane • D Fitzgerald • G McDonald • N Meehan • R O'Driscoll • B O'Malley • C Bollard • M Daly • D Geraghty • LC Kennedy • E Mulhern • E O'Keeffe • MJ Ellis • D Griffin D McElroy • C Culleton • B Nic Suibhne • S Quinlivan • J Rattigan • K Mulhern
Consultants: Professor JCW Wylie • MA Greene • AV Fanagan • PM Law • SW Haughey • PV Maher
1.4 | copies of such corporate records of the Company as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed. |
In rendering this Opinion, we have examined, and
have assumed the truth and accuracy of the contents of, such documents and certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials
as to factual matters and have conducted such searches, as of the date hereof, in public registries in Ireland as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate for the purposes of this Opinion but have made no independent investigation regarding such factual matters. In our examination
we have assumed the (continued) truth and accuracy of the information contained in such documents, the genuineness of all signatures (electronic
or otherwise), that any signatures (electronic or otherwise) are the signatures of the persons who they purport to be, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.
2 | We have further assumed: |
2.1 | that the constitution of the Company which became effective on 14 January 2022 (the Constitution),
and as is available in the Irish Companies Registration Office (the CRO), is correct and up to date; |
2.2 | that there are no agreements or arrangements in existence which in any way amend or vary the terms of
the Transaction Documents; |
2.3 | that where the Transaction Documents have been executed on behalf of the Company using a software platform
that enables an advanced electronic signature or a qualified electronic signature to be applied to that agreement, that each such signature
was applied under the authority and control of the relevant signatory; |
2.4 | the accuracy and completeness of all information appearing on public records; |
2.5 | that none of the resolutions and authorities of the Company's board of directors (the Board), any
committee of the Board and/or shareholders of the Company upon which we have relied have been or will be varied, amended or revoked in
any respect or have expired and that the Warrants were issued, and Warrant Shares will be issued, in accordance with such resolutions
and authorities; |
2.6 | that any issue of Warrant Shares will be paid up in consideration of the receipt by the Company prior
to, or simultaneously with, the issue of such Warrant Shares of cash at least equal to the nominal value of such Shares; |
2.7 | that, at the time of issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, the Company will have sufficient authorised
but unissued share capital to issue the Warrant Shares; |
2.8 | without having made any investigation, that the terms of the Transaction Documents are lawful and fully
enforceable under United States federal law, New York State law and all other applicable laws (if any) other than the laws of Ireland; |
2.9 | the accuracy and completeness as to factual matters of the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in the Transaction Documents and the accuracy of all certificates provided to us by the Company; |
2.10 | that the sale of the Warrant Shares will be in compliance with the Companies Act, the Irish Takeover Panel
Act 1997, Takeover Rules 2022, and all applicable Irish company, takeover, securities, market abuse, insider dealing laws and other
rules and regulations; |
2.11 | that the Warrant Shares will be issued and sold in compliance with all applicable laws (other than Irish
law), including applicable U.S. federal and state securities law; |
2.12 | that, when filed with the SEC, the Registration Statement will not differ in any material respect from
the final draft that we have examined and that before any Warrant Shares are sold, the Registration Statement and any amendments to the
Registration Statement (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Securities Act; |
2.13 | that the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC has been authorised by all necessary actions
under all applicable laws other than Irish law; |
2.14 | that no authorisations, approvals, licences, exemptions or consents of governmental or regulatory authorities
with respect to the agreements or arrangements referred to in the Registration Statement or with respect to any sale of the Warrant Shares
are or will be required to be obtained, that the Warrant Shares will conform with the descriptions and restrictions contained in the Registration
Statement, subject to such changes as may be required in order to comply with any requirement of Irish law, that the selling restrictions
contained therein have been and will be at all times observed and that the Warrant Shares will comply with the terms of any agreements
relating to the Warrant Shares; |
2.15 | that the Registration Statement and/or the Transaction Documents do not constitute (and are not intended/required
to constitute) a prospectus within the meaning of Part 23 of the Irish Companies Act 2014 and to the extent that any offer of Warrant
Shares is being made to investors in any member state of the European Union, the Company is satisfied that the obligation to propose and
publish a prospectus pursuant to Irish prospectus law, or in particular pursuant to the European Union (Prospectus) Regulations 2019,
does not arise; |
2.16 | the absence of fraud on the part of the Company and its respective officers, employees, agents and advisers
and that the Company has issued the Warrants and will issue the Warrant Shares in good faith, for its legitimate and bona fide business
purposes. We have further assumed that: (i) the Company will be fully solvent at the time of and immediately following the issue
of any Warrant Shares; (ii) no resolution or petition for the appointment of a liquidator or examiner will be passed or presented
prior to the issue of any Warrant Shares; (iii) no receiver will have been appointed in relation to any of the assets or undertaking
of the Company prior to the issue of any Warrant Shares; and (iv) no composition in satisfaction of debts, scheme of arrangement,
or compromise or arrangement with creditors or members (or any class of creditors or members) will be proposed, sanctioned or approved
in relation to the Company prior to the issue of any Warrant Shares. |
3 | Subject to the foregoing and to the within additional qualifications and assumptions, we are of the opinion: |
3.1 | Based only on searches carried out in the Irish Companies Registration Office, the Judgments Office of
the High Court and the Central Office of the High Court on 22 August 2023, the Company is validly existing under the laws of Ireland
and no steps have been taken or are being taken to appoint a receiver, examiner or liquidator over the Company or to wind up the Company;
and |
3.2 | the Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants, including
the payment of the relevant exercise price, will be duly authorised, validly issued, fully paid and will not be subject to calls for any
additional payments (non-assessable). |
In rendering this Opinion we have confined ourselves
to matters of Irish law. We express no opinion on any laws other than the laws of Ireland (and the interpretation thereof) in force as
at the date hereof. This Opinion speaks only as of its date. We are not under any obligation to update this Opinion from time to time,
nor to notify you of any change of law, facts or circumstances referred to or relied upon in the giving of this Opinion.
This Opinion is given solely for the benefit of
the addressee of this Opinion and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent, provided, however, that
it may be relied upon by persons entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of US federal securities laws.
This Opinion is also strictly confined to the
matters expressly stated herein and is not to be read as extending by implication or otherwise to any other matter.
We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion
with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on 23 August 2023 in accordance with the requirements
of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K and to the use of our name therein and in the related Prospectus and in any prospectus supplement
under the caption “Legal Matters”.
The Opinion is governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of Ireland.
Yours faithfully
