Ik kwam deze filing zojuist tegen bij BFRI van eind dec. Zogenaamde 424B3 form.
Zeer interessant om eens door te bladeren en wilde jullie vooral onderstaande key-points niet onthouden waarom nu júist in Biofrontera/BFRI te investeren!

Summary Risk FactorsInvesting in our common stock involves substantial risk. Our ability to execute our strategy is also subject to certain risks. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus may cause us not to realize the full benefits of our strengths or may cause us to be unable to successfully execute all or part of our strategy. Some of the most significant challenges and risks include the following:
? Currently, our sole source of revenue is from sales of products we license from other companies. If we fail to comply with our obligations in the agreements under which we license rights from such third parties, or if the license agreements are terminated for other reasons, we could lose license rights that are important to our business.
? Certain important patents for our licensed product Ameluz® expired in 2019. Although the process of developing generic topical dermatological products for the first time presents specific challenges that may deter potential generic competitors, generic versions of Ameluz® may enter the market following the recent expiration of these patents. If this happens, we may need to reduce the price of Ameluz® significantly and may lose significant market share.
? Our business depends substantially on the success of our principal licensed product Ameluz®. If the Biofrontera Group is unable to successfully obtain and maintain regulatory approvals or reimbursement for Ameluz® for existing and additional indications, our business may be materially harmed.
?
The Biofrontera Group currently depends on a single unaffiliated contract manufacturer to manufacture Ameluz® and has recently contracted with a second unaffiliated contract manufacturer to begin producing Ameluz®. If the Biofrontera Group fails to maintain its relationships with these manufacturers or if both of these manufacturers are unable to produce product for the Biofrontera Group, our business could be materially harmed.
? If our Licensors or our Licensors’ manufacturing partners, as applicable, fail to manufacture Ameluz®, RhodoLED® lamps, Xepi® or other marketed products in sufficient quantities and at acceptable quality and cost levels, or to fully comply with current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, or other applicable manufacturing regulations, we may face a bar to, or delays in, the commercialization of the products under license to us or we will be unable to meet market demand, and lose potential revenues.
? The Biofrontera Group has been involved in lawsuits to defend or enforce patents related to our licensed products and they or another licensor may become involved in similar suits in the future, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.
? The COVID-19 global pandemic has continued to negatively affect our sales and operations and may continue to do so.
? We are fully dependent on our collaboration with the Biofrontera Group for our supply of Ameluz® and RhodoLED® lamps and future development of the Ameluz® product line, on our collaboration with Ferrer for our supply of Xepi® and future development of Xepi® and may depend on the Biofrontera Group, Ferrer or additional third parties for the supply, development and commercialization of future licensed products or product candidates. Although we have the authority under the Ameluz LSA with respect to the indications that the Biofrontera Group is currently pursuing with the FDA (as well as certain other clinical studies identified in the Corrected Amendment to the Ameluz LSA) in certain circumstances to take over clinical development, regulatory work and manufacturing from the Biofrontera Group if they are unable or unwilling to perform these functions appropriately, the sourcing and manufacture of our licensed products as well as the regulatory approvals and clinical trials related to our licensed products are currently controlled, and will likely continue to be controlled for the foreseeable future, by our existing and future collaborators. Our lack of control over some of these functions could adversely affect our ability to implement our strategy for the commercialization of our licensed products.
? Insurance coverage and medical expense reimbursement may be limited or unavailable in certain market segments for our licensed products, which could make it difficult for us to sell our licensed products.
? Healthcare legislative changes may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
? We face significant competition from other pharmaceutical and medical device companies and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively. We also must compete with existing treatments, such as simple curettage and cryotherapy, which do not involve the use of a drug but have gained significant market acceptance.
? We have a history of operating losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses in the future and may never sustain profitability.
? If we fail to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to complete the commercialization of Xepi® and other products we may license.
? We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, resulting from a control deficiency related to the oversight of third-party service providers. If we are unable to remediate this material weakness, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price.
? As of December 20, 2021, Biofrontera AG beneficially owns 53.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval and its interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future.
?
As of December 20, 2021, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing standards, and as long as we are a controlled company we will qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. We will have the opportunity to elect any of the exemptions afforded a controlled company.
