Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Underwritten Registered Direct Offering
On April 9, 2026, Annovis Bio, Inc.
(the “Company”) entered into (i) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated as of April 9,
2026, with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell,
in an underwritten registered direct offering (the “Offering”) (i) an aggregate of 5,263,156 shares of common stock (the
“Shares”), $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and (ii) accompanying common
stock warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,263,156 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants are exercisable beginning six months after their
issue date, expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share of Common Stock.
The combined offering price of each Share and accompanying Warrant is $1.90 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering
are expected to be approximately $10 million, before deducting offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Offering is expected to close on or about April 10, 2026,
subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company currently plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering, for
the continued clinical development of the Company’s lead compound Buntanetap in a Phase 3 study for Alzheimer’s disease, and
for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company,
including for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of
the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made
only for the purposes of such agreement and as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and
may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276814), which was declared effective on February 12,
2024, and a related base prospectus and prospectus supplement thereunder dated April 9, 2026.
The legal opinion of Loeb & Loeb LLP relating to the Shares, Warrants
and Warrant Shares is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

Exhibit 4.1
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
ANNOVIS BIO, INC.
Warrant Shares: [ ]
Issue Date: April 10, 2026
THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK (the “Warrant”)
certifies that, for value received, [___] or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to
the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after October 10, 2026 (the “Initial
Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that date that is five years and six months from
the Issue Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Annovis Bio, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [ ] shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder,
the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”), dated April 9, 2026, by and between the Company and Canaccord Genuity LLC.
Section 2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed copy submitted
by email (or email attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within
one Trading Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares
specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified
in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal
to the applicable number of Warrant Shares so purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise on the Trading Day
of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available
for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares to or by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised,
in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number
of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice
of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
(as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at
the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise
or (y) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two hours thereafter (including until two hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after two hours following the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if
such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless
exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares
shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to
this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on
a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time)
to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a Trading Market and if the prices for the
Common Stock are then reported on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) or OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”),
as applicable, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as
applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market or on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices
for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices) (“The Pink Open Market”), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in
all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses
of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP” means, for any date,
the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading
Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City
time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of
the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then
listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported,
or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in
good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
(d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares issued in connection with an exercise of the Warrant to
be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise
by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for
the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice
of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and
(ii) one Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder
of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant
Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10
per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading
Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees
to maintain a transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant
remains outstanding and exercisable.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise by providing the Company with written notice
of recission.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure that is solely due to any action or inaction
by the Holder with respect to such exercise), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying
(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such exercise by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the number of Warrant
Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company
may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company
(or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the shares
of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such
Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is
being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is
in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed
in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise
shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject
to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination
(other than to the extent that the information on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is provided by the Company, either
directly or through one or more public filings relied upon by the Holder). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request
of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall
be 4.99% (or, upon election by the Holder prior to the issuance of this Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event the Holder holds
less than 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% (or, upon the election by the
Holder prior to the issuance of this Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall
continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with
the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of
Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this
Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all (or substantially
all) of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired
if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is
taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders
of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership
of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held
in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than dividends or distributions subject to Section 3(a) above
(a “Distribution”), or other than a reclassification to which Section 3(d) applies, then at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (all of its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole) directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all
or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted
to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme
of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at
the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction
(or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by
paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this
Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction
is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled
to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the
Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company
in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or
whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the
Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which
Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per
share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the
value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period
beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation
of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant
to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black
Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five
Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause
any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the
exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise
price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions
of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of whether the Company
has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares.
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be
the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(f) Notice
to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number
of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with a Fundamental Transaction, any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of
its subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered
by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (unless such information is filed with the Commission,
in which case a notice shall not be required) stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange;
provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period
commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set
forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c), or to receive cash payments contemplated by Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in
no event will the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
(d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing
the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to
assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements
of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant will, upon exercise hereunder and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented
to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value,
(ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in
an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain
all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
(f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant or the Underwriting Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs
and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via confirmed email prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30
P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is

If to the Holder, to its address or e-mail address on the books and
records of the Company.
(i) (i) Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Holder,
the Company may appoint a new warrant agent; provided, that if the Company enters into a warrant agency agreement with any such
new warrant agent and the terms of any such warrant agency agreement conflicts with the terms of this Warrant, the terms of this Warrant
shall prevail. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without
any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first
class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
(j) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(k) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(l) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(m) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.
(n) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(o) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to
Annovis Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of (i)
an aggregate of 5,263,156 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), and (ii) accompanying common stock warrants, to purchase an aggregate of 5,263,156 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”
and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), in each case pursuant to that
certain Underwriting Agreement, by and between the Company and Canaccord Genuity LLC, as underwriter, dated April 9, 2026 (the “Underwriting
Agreement”). The Common Stock, Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Securities
are being offered for sale pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-276814) (the
“Registration Statement”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the base prospectus,
dated February 12, 2024 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement, dated April 9, 2026, filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(5) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”).
Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Underwriting Agreement.
In connection with the
opinions set forth below, we have examined the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the Underwriting
Agreement and the form of Warrant. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and such corporate records of the
Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for
purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed and certified or reproduced copies.
Based upon the foregoing and
subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Shares have been duly
authorized for issuance, and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
2. The Warrants have been
duly authorized for issuance and when executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement,
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms.
3. The Warrant Shares have
been duly authorized for issuance and if, as, and when the Warrant Shares are issued and delivered by the Company upon exercise of the
Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, the payment in full of applicable consideration, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
The opinions we express above
are based upon a review only of those laws, statutes, rules, ordinances and regulations which, in our experience, a securities lawyer
who is a member of the bar of the State of New York and practicing before the Commission exercising customary professional diligence would
reasonably recognize as being applicable to the foregoing transactions.
The opinions set forth in
paragraph 2 above are subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law relating
to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and (ii) the effect of general
principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
We express no opinion as to
the enforceability of (i) provisions that relate to choice of law, forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
any express or implied waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the
extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be determined by any court other than a state court
of the State of New York and (ii) waivers by the Company of any statutory or constitutional rights or remedies. We draw your attention
to the fact that, under certain circumstances, the enforceability of terms to the effect that provisions may not be waived or modified
except in writing may be limited.
The opinions we express herein
are limited to matters involving the internal laws of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation law.
This opinion has been prepared
solely for use in connection with the transmitting for filing of the Prospectus Supplement on the date of this letter and may be relied
upon for no other purpose without our prior written consent.
We hereby consent to the filing
of this letter with the Commission as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company in connection with the issuance
and sale of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under
the Securities Act and to the reference to our firm therein and in the Prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving
such consent, we do not thereby admit that this firm is within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission under such Section.
Very truly yours,

(as defined below), and agrees with the Underwriter, that:

or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which
adequate reserves have been provided and except for such taxes or assessments the nonpayment of which would not, individually or in the

or its business, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect, and the Company is in compliance with the terms
of such policies in all material respects. There are no claims by the Company under any such policy or instrument as to which an insurance
company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not
be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage
from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result
in a Material Adverse Change.

Price Stabilization or Manipulation. Neither the Company, nor any of its directors, officers or, to the knowledge of the Company,
controlling persons has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result

fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made when the Prospectus is delivered
(or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Rules and Regulations), not misleading, or if it is necessary
at any time to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated

make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not
conflict with the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement then on file and not superseded or
modified, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with any law, the Company
promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Underwriter and any dealers an appropriate

supplement deemed to be a part thereof and not superseded or modified or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted or would omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances prevailing at the subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly
notify the Underwriter so that any use of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and has promptly
amended or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict,

or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter specifically for use therein,
which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriter’s Information.
The indemnity agreement in
this Section 7(a) is not exclusive and is in addition to each other liability which the Company might have under this Agreement
or otherwise, and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available under this Agreement, at law or in equity to
any Underwriter Indemnified Party.
25
(b) Indemnification
of Company by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, its officers who signed

Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or document incorporated by reference therein, a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree
is limited to the Underwriter’s Information, and shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party
witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are

26
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify such indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure;
and, provided, further; that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it
shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying
party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except
as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however; that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in
the defense of such action but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense
of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case
of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a) or the Underwriter in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 7(b),
(ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume
the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after
notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense,
in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently
defend the action after assumption of the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying
party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
of such action; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel),
which firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Underwriter
Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties under this Section 7 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Subject
to this Section 7(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 7 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable
legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending
against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding
or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether
or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes
an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable
for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld
or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Sections 7(a) or 7(b) effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying
party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at
least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
27
(d) If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or
7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise
incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding
in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided
by clause (i) of this Section 7(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7(d) but also the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in
such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect
to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased
under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriter with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other, the intent of
the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission,
act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter
for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists
solely of the Underwriter’s Information.
(e) The
Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 7(d) above were
to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense,
liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating,
preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with,
any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7,
the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has
otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged
act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(t) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8. TERMINATION.
The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder may be terminated by the Underwriter, in its absolute discretion by notice given to the Company
prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 6(j) or 6(m) have
occurred or if the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
9. REIMBURSEMENT
OF UNDERWRITER’S EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been
terminated pursuant to Section 8, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriter for any
reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Underwriter shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted
under this Agreement or (d) the sale of the Securities is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter
set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement
herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with
Section 5, the Company shall, pro rata based on the number of Securities it agreed to sell hereunder, reimburse the Underwriter for
the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Underwriter’s counsel and for such other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities,
including, without limitation, reasonable travel and lodging expenses of the Underwriter, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full
amount thereof to the Underwriter not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate.

10. [RESERVED].
11. ABSENCE
OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the
Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, the Underwriter has been retained solely to act as
underwriter in connection with the sale of the Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the
Underwriter have been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Underwriter
has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
(b) the
price of the Shares and Accompanying Warrants set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length
negotiations with the Underwriter, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms,
risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c) it
has been advised that the Underwriter and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that
differ from those of the Company and that the Underwriter has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company
by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) it
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriter for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged
breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Underwriter shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect
of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders,
employees or creditors of the Company.
12. SUCCESSORS;
PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriter, the Company

of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and
being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified
Parties, and the indemnities of the Underwriter shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. It is understood that the
Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Underwriter does not owe the Company, or any
other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from the Underwriter shall be deemed
to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
13. SURVIVAL
OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company
or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, including without limitation any termination pursuant to Section 8, the indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements forth in Sections 2, 5, 7 and 9 and Sections 11 through 21, inclusive, of this Agreement shall not terminate

Canaccord Genuity LLC
Penn 1, One Pennsylvania Plaza, Suite 2900
New York, NY 10119
Re: Proposed Registered Direct Offering by
Annovis Bio, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, a securityholder
and/or officer and/or a director of Annovis Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that
Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)
with the Company relating to the proposed underwritten registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the “Shares”)
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants exercisable for
shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”). The undersigned
acknowledges that Canaccord is relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this lock-up agreement in
conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into the Underwriting Agreement and other underwriting arrangements with
the Company with respect to the Offering.
In recognition of the benefit
that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned as a securityholder and/or officer and/or a director of the Company, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the
period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up
Period”), the undersigned will not (and will cause any immediate family member not to), without the prior written consent of
Canaccord, which may withhold its consent in its sole discretion, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract to sell
or lend, effect any short sale or establish or increase a Put Equivalent Position (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or liquidate or decrease any Call Equivalent Position (as defined
in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act), pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest in, or in any other way transfer
or dispose of, any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, in each case whether
now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition
(collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (ii) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to the
registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or the filing of any registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an
amendment or supplement thereto) in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
(iii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence
of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities,
in cash or otherwise, or (iv) publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through
(vi) below without the prior written consent of Canaccord, provided that (1) in the case of clauses (i) through
(v), prior to any such transfer, Canaccord receives a signed lock-up agreement, substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement, for
the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, (2) in the case of clauses
(i) through (v), any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) any required public filings or report
under Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the such transfer
is being made pursuant to the circumstances described below, and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public
filing or report regarding such transfers:
(i) as
a bona fide gift or gifts, including, without limitation, to a charitable organization or educational institution, or for bona fide
estate planning purposes; or
(ii) to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family (defined below) of the undersigned, or if
the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor, trustee or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a trustor, trustee, or beneficiary of
such trust; or
(iii) to
any permitted transferee (defined below); or
(iv) by
operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a settlement related to the distribution of assets
in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; or
(v) by
will or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or immediate family of the undersigned upon the death of the
undersigned; or
(vi) pursuant to a bona
fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Common Stock that has been
approved by the Company’s board of directors, which results in any person or group of persons becoming the beneficial owners (as
defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the
surviving entity); provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed,
the Common Stock shall remain subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement.
The undersigned further agrees
that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any Securities the undersigned may purchase or otherwise receive in the Offering.
Furthermore, notwithstanding
the restrictions imposed by this lock-up agreement, the undersigned may, without the prior written consent of Canaccord: (a) exercise
an option to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under any stock incentive plan of the Company, which plan is described in the prospectus
supplement related to the Offering, provided that the underlying shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this lock-up agreement and if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall clearly indicate
in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such exercise or transfer and no other filing or public announcement shall be made
voluntarily during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such exercise or transfer; (b) establish a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1
under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that, such plan does not provide for any transfers
of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period; (c) transfer or dispose of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering from the underwriters
or on the open market following the Offering, provided that no filing under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period; or (d) sell Lock-Up Securities for tax withholding
purposes in connection with the vesting of equity awards that are subject to a taxable event upon vesting of the Company’s securities,
it being understood that all shares of Common Stock received upon such vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of
this lock-up agreement during the Lock-Up Period, and provided that if the undersigned is required to file a report under the Exchange
Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of the undersigned’s Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period related to such disposition,
the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the filing relates to the satisfaction of tax withholding
obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting event and no other filing or public announcement shall be made voluntarily
during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such vesting or transfer.
The undersigned also agrees
and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
With respect to the Offering
only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any shares
of Common Stock and/or any options or warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or any securities exchangeable or exercisable for
or convertible into Common Stock, or to acquire other securities or rights ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into
Common Stock, owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.
The undersigned confirms that
the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any immediate family member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed
to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to facilitate the sale of the Securities. The undersigned will not, and will cause any immediate family member not to take, directly or
indirectly, any such action.
As used herein, “permitted
transferee” shall mean (a) the members of the undersigned’s immediate family (for purposes of this lock-up agreement,
“immediate family” shall mean the spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant (including adopted and step-children) and his
or her spouse, father, mother, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, or any other person with whom the undersigned has a
relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin), (b) if the undersigned is a corporation, limited
liability company, partnership or other entity, its partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in the undersigned
by way of distribution upon the liquidation and dissolution of the undersigned or (c) any affiliate of the undersigned.
The undersigned represents
and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this lock-up agreement. This lock-up agreement
is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.
This lock-up agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Whether or not the Offering
actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting
Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and Canaccord.
This lock-up agreement shall
automatically terminate, and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any, of
(i) the Company advising Canaccord in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to
proceed with the Offering, (ii) the executed Underwriting Agreement being terminated prior to the closing of the Offering (other
than the provisions thereof that survive termination), and (iii) April 30, 2026, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement
has not been executed by such date.

nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder
has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is
delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares
available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal
to the applicable number of Warrant Shares so purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise on the Trading Day
of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available
for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.50, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
(c) Cashless
Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained
therein is not available for the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares to or by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised,
in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number
of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice
of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
(as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at
the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise
or (y) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two hours thereafter (including until two hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable
Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after two hours following the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if
such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless
exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares
shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to
this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on
a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time)
to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a Trading Market and if the prices for the
Common Stock are then reported on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) or OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”),
as applicable, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as
applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market or on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices
for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices) (“The Pink Open Market”), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in
all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by
the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses
of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP” means, for any date,
the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading
Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City
time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of
the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then
listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported,
or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in
good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
(d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares issued in connection with an exercise of the Warrant to
be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise
by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for
the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice
of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and
(ii) one Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder
of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant
Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant
Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10
per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading
Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees
to maintain a transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant
remains outstanding and exercisable.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by
the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise by providing the Company with written notice
of recission.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than a failure that is solely due to any action or inaction
by the Holder with respect to such exercise), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying
(1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with such exercise by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay
the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the
Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the number of Warrant
Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax
or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company,
and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided,
however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when
surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company
may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company
(or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the shares
of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such
Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes
of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties
shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is
being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised
portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is
in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed
in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise
shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject
to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination
(other than to the extent that the information on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is provided by the Company, either
directly or through one or more public filings relied upon by the Holder). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely
on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request
of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion
or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall
be 4.99% (or, upon election by the Holder prior to the issuance of this Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event the Holder holds
less than 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% (or, upon the election by the
Holder prior to the issuance of this Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall
continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered
to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with
the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 8. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of
Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant),
(ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this
Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b) Subsequent
Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all (or substantially
all) of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired
if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is
taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders
of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership
of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held
in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) other than dividends or distributions subject to Section 3(a) above
(a “Distribution”), or other than a reclassification to which Section 3(d) applies, then at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation)
immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the
record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,
that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership
of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation).
(d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (all of its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole) directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all
or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted
to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities,
cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase
agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme
of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor
or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on
the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given
any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same
choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at
the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction
(or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by
paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this
Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction
is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled
to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the
Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company
in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or
whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the
Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration
in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which
Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free
interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100
day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per
share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the
value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period
beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation
of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant
to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black
Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five
Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause
any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard
to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the
exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise
price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction,
the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions
of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of whether the Company
has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares.
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be
the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(f) Notice
to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number
of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the
Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the
Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with a Fundamental Transaction, any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of
its subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange
whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered
by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (unless such information is filed with the Commission,
in which case a notice shall not be required) stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange;
provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with
the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period
commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set
forth herein.
Section 9. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part,
upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this
Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations
specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so
assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required
to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company within three Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase
of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with
this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder
of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other
purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
Section 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3. Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant
to Section 2(c), or to receive cash payments contemplated by Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in
no event will the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
(c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading
Day.
(d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing
the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to
assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements
of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant will, upon exercise hereunder and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue
thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented
to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase
the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value,
(ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations,
exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in
an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain
all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.
(e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.
(f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant or the Underwriting Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which
results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs
and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the
Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication
is delivered via confirmed email prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30
P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is

Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Holder,
the Company may appoint a new warrant agent; provided, that if the Company enters into a warrant agency agreement with any such
new warrant agent and the terms of any such warrant agency agreement conflicts with the terms of this Warrant, the terms of this Warrant
shall prevail. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation
to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers
substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without
any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first

of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant

price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
(k) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific

action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.
(n) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(o) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Exhibit 99.1
Annovis Announces $10 Million Underwritten Offering of Common Stock
and Accompanying Warrants
MALVERN, Pa., April 9, 2026 -- Annovis Bio, Inc. (NYSE: ANVS) (“Annovis”
or the “Company”), a Phase 3 clinical-stage biotechnology company developing the investigational oral therapy, buntanetap,
for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), today announced the pricing of an underwritten
offering of 5,263,156 shares of its common stock, together with accompanying warrants to purchase up to 5,263,156 shares of common stock.
The combined offering price of each share of common stock and accompanying warrant is $1.90. Each warrant will be exercisable for one
share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share of common stock, will be exercisable commencing six months following the
issue date and will expire five years and 6 months after the date of issuance.
All of the shares of common stock and the accompanying warrants are
being offered by Annovis. The shares of common stock and the accompanying warrants will be issued separately but can only be purchased
together in the offering.
Before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other
offering expenses, Annovis expects to receive total gross proceeds of approximately $10 million, excluding potential proceeds from the
exercise of the warrants. The offering is expected to close on or about April 10, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
Canaccord Genuity is acting as the sole bookrunner for the offering.
Annovis intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for the
continued clinical development of its lead compound buntanetap in a Phase 3 study for Alzheimer’s disease, and for working capital
and general corporate purposes. The shares and accompanying warrants are being offered by Annovis pursuant to a shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-276814), including a base prospectus, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on February 1, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on February 12, 2024. The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus
supplement that forms a part of the registration statement. A prospectus supplement and an accompanying base prospectus relating to the
offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov. Electronic copies
of the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus may also be obtained, when available, by contacting Canaccord Genuity LLC,
Attention: Syndication Department, One Post Office Square, 30th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, or by email at prospectus@cgf.com.

of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that state or jurisdiction.
