Risks Associated with Investing in Greenwich LifeSciences
The prospectus clearly discloses the following risks, which any broker should have known about or was negligent in not knowing.
Clinical-Stage Drug
At the time of the prospectus, Greenwich LifeSciences did not have any products approved by regulatory authorities. As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, Greenwich LifeSciences required substantial capital to complete more clinical trials. The company was not profitable and had incurred significant operating losses. The disclosure states, “We do not expect to generate revenues for many years, if at all.”
Raising Additional Capital
The prospectus states that raising additional capital may cause dilution to existing shareholders. Additional funds may not be available, or on terms that are acceptable to Greenwich LifeSciences. Without funds, they may be forced to terminate clinical trials.
Doubt Concerning the Company’s Ability to Continue without Financing
The prospectus states that as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, Greenwich LifeSciences had $6,835. At the time of the prospectus, Greenwich LifeSciences had no revenue and did not know when it would be able to generate revenue, or if it would ever become profitable.
Taxes
Tax laws that have benefited Greenwich LifeSciences may expire or change in a way that adversely affects its tax position.
Aegis Capital Corp. Underwriting
Investors should know that Aegis Capital Corp. served as the underwriter for this offering. Underwriters take on risk in exchange for a fee, which could motivate certain investment banks to underwrite investments that pose too much risk for the average retail investor. Additionally, brokers may have conflicts of interest when they recommend shares that are underwritten by an affiliate of their brokerage firm.
