Ourprofile and focus fundamentally changed with the acquisition of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”) in June 2021, the ownerand distributor of the Viactiv® line of supplements for bone health, immune health and other applications.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Theacquisition and integration of the Viactiv line of products has changed our financial position, market profile and brand focus, and hasalso expanded our search for additional business opportunities in the short-term, both internal and external.

Webelieve the Activ acquisition adds valuable attributes, including (1) Viactiv’s brand awareness and acceptance from the consumer;(2) experienced management; (3) established distribution networks and relationships; (4) product development potential; and (5) a longtrack record of revenue growth and profitability.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Brandawareness - Viactiv was initially launched by industry leaders Mead Johnson/Johnson & Johnson approximately twenty years ago,and we believe this history, along with the product’s marketing campaigns, taste profile and receipt of consistently positiveconsumer reviews, have led to strong consumer awareness and acceptance.
Experiencedmanagement – As part of the Activ acquisition, we appointed Craig Sheehan as our Chief Commercial Officer. Mr. Sheehan wasthe senior executive responsible for the Viactiv brand as a member of the executive leadership team of Adare Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(“Adare”).
Establisheddistribution – Viactiv’s products are currently marketed through many of the nation’s largest retailers, including,among others, Walmart (retail and online), Target, CVS and Amazon.
Trackrecord of profitability – Viactiv generated net revenues of approximately $11,900,000 in 2020 and operating income of approximately$1,200,000 in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, on a pro forma basis, our total revenues would have been $10,138,421and the Viactiv products would have accounted for 94% of our pro forma total revenues for the period. We expect the acquisition ofViactiv to contribute increasing revenue and consistent operating margins and profitability, as well as a multitude of growth opportunities,to our Company.

Basedupon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the NasdaqListing Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.

VectorVisionRestructuring

DuringDecember 2021, as part of management’s comprehensive evaluation of the Company’s business in order to focus on those brandsand lines of business that management believes provide the greatest growth opportunities, the Company determined to restructure the operationsof the Company’s VectorVision medical device business. The Company is in the process of substantially winding down the day-to-dayoperations of VectorVision, which is expected to significantly reduce costs, and to instead explore various alternative ways to preserve,manage and exploit the Company’s various related intellectual property rights, including its patents, associated with the VectorVisiontechnology, which rights the Company believes are valuable and marketable. The Company is exploring both domestic and international businessopportunities, such as licensing and distribution arrangements, with experienced parties, which could assist the Company in the economicexploitation of these intellectual property rights. As a result of this change to the VectorVision business strategy, management believesthat it will be able to better focus its efforts and deploy capital to more growth oriented brands and product lines, like Viactiv, andother products in development, that it hopes to expeditiously bring to market in 2022.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

NasdaqCompliance

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Ourcommon stock begin trading below $1.00 on December 10, 2021 and has closed below $1.00 every trading day since. Nasdaq’s currentcontinued listing rules require a minimum bid price of at least $1.00; if a stock’s bid price closes below $1.00 for a period of30 consecutive business days, it is considered deficient and will receive notification from Nasdaq. The company then has 180 calendardays from notification to regain compliance by maintaining a $1.00 closing bid price for a minimum of ten consecutive business days duringthe 180-day compliance period. Companies listed on or transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market may be eligible for a second 180 calendar-dayperiod to regain compliance if they meet certain requirements, which could result in a total compliance period to cure a bid price deficiencyof up to 360 calendar days. Accordingly, if our stock continues to trade below $1.00 until January 24, 2022, we will receive a notificationof non-compliance from Nasdaq, if we fail to regain compliance during the period referenced above, our common stock will be subject todelisting from Nasdaq.

Investorswho purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and therefore may experience different outcomesin their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold,and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of sharesales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Theactual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subjectto certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice toeither of the Distribution Agents at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by a DistributionAgent after delivering a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limitswe set with the Distribution Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our commonstock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued by us.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

RisksRelated to our Securities and our Business

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Wereceived notification from Nasdaq that we are not in compliance with their continued listed requirements due to the closing bid pricefor our common stock for the last 30 consecutive days. Failure to regain compliance could result in our securities being delisted fromNasdaq which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

NasdaqNotification of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or StandardForm 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

OnJanuary 25, 2022, we receive a notification from Nasdaq related to our failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Basedupon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the NasdaqListing Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. Accordingly, if at anytime from the date of this notice until July 25, 2022, the closing bid price our common stock is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutivebusiness days, Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. Companies listed on or transferringto the Nasdaq Capital Market may be eligible for a second 180 calendar-day period to regain compliance if they meet certain requirements,which could result in a total compliance period to cure a bid price deficiency of up to 360 calendar days. If we fail to regain complianceduring the period referenced above, our common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, which could have a material adverse effecton our business and results of operations.

USEOF PROCEEDS

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Wemay issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $25,000,000 from time to time. Because thereis no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions andproceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.

Weintend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. We may also use the net proceeds to expand the marketingof our existing products, to develop additional products, and/or invest in or acquire complementary businesses, products, or technologies,although we have no current commitments or agreements with respect to any such investments or acquisitions as of the date of this prospectussupplement. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for the foregoing purposes or any others we maypursue. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the use and allocation of the net proceeds and investors will be relyingon the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds from any sale of the securities. Pending use of the netproceeds, we currently intend to initially invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and/or securities.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

DILUTION

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Ifyou invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering priceper share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering.

Wecalculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities,by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasersof shares in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effectto this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $13,196,582, or $0.54 per share of common stock.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Aftergiving effect to the sale of 45,454,545 shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectusin the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $0.55 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stockon The Nasdaq Capital Market on January 20, 2022, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payableby us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been approximately $37,051,582, or $0.53 pershare of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.01 per share to our existing stockholdersand an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.02 per share to new investors.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Thefollowing table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed public offering price per share $0.55
Historical net tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2021 $0.54
Decrease in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering $(0.01)
As-adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2021 $0.53
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering 0.02

Thetable above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 45,454,545 shares of our common stock are sold pursuant to this prospectussupplement and the accompanying prospectus at a price of $0.55 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The NasdaqCapital Market on January 20, 2022, for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000. The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be soldfrom time to time at various prices. An increase of $0.08 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offeringprice of $0.55 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 is sold atthat price, would result in an as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering of $0.58 per share and would increasethe dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $0.04 per share, after deducting commissions andestimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.25 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from theassumed offering price of $0.55 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000is sold at that price, would result in an as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering of $0.34 per share and woulddecrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $0.20 per share, after deducting commissionsand estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us.

The DistributionAgents will be entitled to a shared commission equal to 3.5% of the gross sales price per share sold.

Anti-TakeoverEffects of Provisions of Delaware State LawForm 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Weare governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicDelaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for aperiod of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

thetransaction was approved by the board of directors prior to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder;
uponconsummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholderowned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding sharesowned by directors who are also officers of the corporation and shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participantsdo not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender orexchange offer; or
ator subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the boardof directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmativevote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Ingeneral, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resultingin financial benefit to a stockholder and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates andassociates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisionsmay have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of our company.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Ourcertificate of incorporation and our bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or preventchanges in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Boardof Directors Vacancies. Our bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly createdseats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolutionadopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing thesize of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with itsown nominees. This will make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and will promote continuityof management.

Abilityof Stockholders to Call Special Meetings. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that stockholders can only calla special meeting if stockholders holding over 50% of all issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote ata meeting do so.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

AdvanceNotice Requirements. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nominationof candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of stockholders. These procedures providethat notice of such stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meetingat which the action is to be taken. The notice must contain certain information specified in our Bylaws.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

ExclusiveForum Provision. In accordance with an exclusive forum provision set forth in the Bylaws, unless the Company consents in writingto the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forumfor certain state law based actions including certain derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company; an actionasserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by an officer, a director, employee or to the shareholders of the Company; any claimarising under Delaware corporate law; and any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

NoCumulative Voting. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in theelection of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporationdoes not provide for cumulative voting.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by our stockholders,to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designatedfrom time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable ourboard of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer,proxy contest or other means.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

LEGALOWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

Wecan issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greaterdetail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicabletrustee or depositary or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These personsare the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests insecurities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below,indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirectholders.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Book-EntryHolders

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Wemay issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securitiesmay be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositaryon behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions,which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

Onlythe person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registeredin the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositaryas the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes alongthe payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficialowners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; theyare not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Asa result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a globalsecurity, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry systemor holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders,and not legal holders, of the securities.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

StreetName Holders

Wemay terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose tohold their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name wouldbe registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would holdonly a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Forsecurities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokersand other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or anysuch trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments theyreceive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements orbecause they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not legal holders,of those securities.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

LegalHolders

Ourobligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to thelegal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, instreet name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a securityor has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Forexample, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice evenif that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holdersbut does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequencesof a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event,we would seek approval only from the legal holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legalholders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.

Ifyou hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities arerepresented by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

howit handles securities payments and notices;
whetherit imposes fees or charges;
howit would handle a request for the holders’ consent, if ever required;
whetherand how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a legal holder, if that is permittedin the future;
howit would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to actto protect their interests; and
ifthe securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters.

GlobalSecurities

Aglobal security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally,all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Eachsecurity issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in thename of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is calledthe depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, NY,known as DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Aglobal security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successordepositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “—Special SituationsWhen A Global Security Will Be Terminated.” As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, willbe the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permittedto own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker,bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus,an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirectholder of a beneficial interest in the global security.

Ifthe prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued as a global security, then thesecurity will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If terminationoccurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer beheld through any book-entry clearing system.Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

SpecialConsiderations For Global Securities

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Asan indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’sfinancial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize anindirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

Ifsecurities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

aninvestor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for hisor her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;
aninvestor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protectionof his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

aninvestor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that arerequired by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;
aninvestor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representingthe securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;
thedepositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other mattersrelating to an investor’s interest in the global security. We and any applicable trustee have no responsibility forany aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security. We and thetrustee also do not supervise the depositary in any way;
thedepositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global securitywithin its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and
financialinstitutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interestin the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities.There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are notresponsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries

SpecialSituations When A Global Security Will Be TerminatedForm 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Ina few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physicalcertificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in streetname will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests insecurities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and streetname investors above.

Form 424B5 Guardion Health Sciences

Aglobal security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

ifthe depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global securityand we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;
ifwe notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or
ifan event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.

Theapplicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only tothe particular series of securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, andneither we, nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial directholders.

Tofacilitate an offering of a series of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize,maintain, or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities,which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than have been sold to them by us. In thosecircumstances, such persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by purchasing in the open market or by exercisingthe over-allotment option granted to those persons. In addition, those persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securitiesby bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed tounderwriters or dealers participating in any such offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connectionwith stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securitiesat a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued atany time.

Unlessotherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, each class or series of securities will be a new issue with no establishedtrading market, other than our common stock, which is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Anyunderwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordancewith Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Overallotment involvessales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlyingsecurity so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of thesecurities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwritersto reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transactionto cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced,the underwriters may discontinue any of these activities at any time.

Anyunderwriters who are qualified market makers on The Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions inthe securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to thepricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities.
