TG THERAPEUTICS, INC.

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Currently, we are developing two therapies targeting hematologic malignancies. TG-1101 (ublituximab) is a novel, glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on the CD20 antigen found on mature B-lymphocytes. We are also developing TGR-1202 (umbralisib), an orally available PI3K delta inhibitor. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be important in the proliferation and survival of B-lymphocytes. Both TG-1101 and TGR-1202, or the combination which is referred to as "U2," are in Phase 3 clinical development for patients with hematologic malignancies, with TG-1101 also in Phase 3 clinical development for patients with multiple sclerosis. Additionally, we have recently brought its anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody into Phase 1 development and aim to bring additional pipeline assets into the clinic in the future.
 
We also actively evaluate complementary products, technologies and companies for in-licensing, partnership, acquisition and/or investment opportunities. To date, we have not received approval for the sale of any of our drug candidates in any market and, therefore, have not generated any product sales from our drug candidates.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 2 Gansevoort Street, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is 212-554-4484. We maintain a website on the Internet at www.tgtherapeutics.com and our e-mail address is info@tgtxinc.com. Our Internet website, and the information contained on it, are not to be considered part of this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
 

The following summary of the terms of our common stock may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws. You should refer to, and read this summary together with, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws to review all of the terms of our common stock that may be important to you.
 
Common Stock
 
Under our certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue a total of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of May 1, 2018, there were 78,010,112 common shares outstanding held by 247 holders of record. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TGTX.”
 
Dividends
 
Subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by our board of directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such dividends or distributions.
 
Voting Rights
 
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Stockholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.
 
Liquidation and Dissolution
 
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders of common stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities. If we have any preferred stock outstanding at such time, holders of the preferred stock may be entitled to distributions and/or liquidation preferences. In either such case, we must pay the applicable distribution to the holders of our preferred stock (if any) before we may pay distributions to the holders of common stock.
 
Other
 
Holders of our common stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights.
 
 3
 
 
Transfer Agent
 
American Stock Transfer and Trust Company serves as the transfer agent and registrar for all of our common stock.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Under the terms of our restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our board of directors may issues shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval, and has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. We may amend from time to time our restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. Any such amendment would require the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote thereon. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 10,000,000 shares of preferred shares authorized, but no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
 
It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of the holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock. However, effects of the issuance of preferred stock include restricting dividends on common stock, diluting the voting power of common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of common stock, and making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, which could have the effect of discouraging a third party from acquiring, or deterring a third party from paying a premium to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
 
The particular terms of any series of preferred stock being offered by us will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. Those terms may include:
 
 
the title and liquidation preference per share of the preferred stock and the number of shares offered;
 
 
the purchase price of the preferred stock;
 
 
the dividend rate (or method of calculation);
 
 
the dates on which dividends will be paid and the date from which dividends will begin to accumulate;
 
 
any redemption or sinking fund provisions of the preferred stock;
 
 
any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;
 
 
any conversion provisions of the preferred stock;
 
 
the voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock; and
 
 
any additional dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock.
 
The preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER
 
Pursuant to the Joint Venture and License Option Agreement, dated June 18, 2018, by and between TG Therapeutics, Inc. and Novimmune S.A. (“Novimmune”), we issued 216,294 common shares to Novimmune, who we also refer to as the selling shareholder.
 
The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information about the selling shareholder as of  June 18, 2018. The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling shareholder. This prospectus also covers any additional common shares that may become issuable in connection with common shares sold by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or other similar transaction affected without us receiving any cash or other value, which results in an increase in the number of our common shares outstanding.
 
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of our common shares to be sold by the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of shares.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares. Common shares issuable under stock options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days after May 1, 2018 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. As of May 1, 2018, there were 78,010,112 common shares issued and outstanding. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the selling shareholder named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to their common shares. The inclusion of any common shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the party named below.

We do not know when or in what amounts the selling shareholder may offer common shares for sale. The selling shareholder might not sell any or all of the common shares offered by this prospectus. Because the selling shareholder may offer any amount of the common shares pursuant to this offering, we cannot estimate the number of common shares that will be held by the selling shareholder after completion of this offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of this offering, none of the common shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling shareholder.
 
The selling shareholder has not held any position or office with, or had another material relationship with, us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years, except as described above.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering 216,294 of our common shares to permit the resale of our common shares by the selling shareholder from time to time after the date of this prospectus. The common shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling shareholder or the selling shareholder’s pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest who have received, after the date of this prospectus and from the selling shareholder, shares as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling shareholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in privately negotiated transactions. The selling shareholder may sell their common shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
 
block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the common shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
a transaction on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market;
 
in privately negotiated transactions;
 
in options transactions, including through the writing of put or call options (whether those options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise) relating to the common shares offered by this prospectus, or the short sales of the offered common shares; or
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
In addition, any common shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
 
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the common shares or otherwise, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder may also sell the common shares short and redeliver the common shares to close out such short positions. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of common shares offered by this prospectus, which common shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
 6
 
 
The selling shareholder may also pledge common shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may affect sales of the pledged common shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or their agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling shareholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
 
In offering the common shares covered by this prospectus, the selling shareholder and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling shareholder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling shareholder and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the common shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the common shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
We have advised the selling shareholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of common shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholder. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the NYSE pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. The selling shareholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the common shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
At the time a particular offer of common shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of common shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
 
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholder against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Pursuant to the investors’ rights agreement, the selling shareholder have the right to nominate a prescribed number of members to our board of directors. For a detailed description of the selling shareholder’ rights with respect to director nominees, see the section titled “Selling Shareholder” above.

ITEM 15. 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, a corporation may include provisions in its certificate of incorporation that will relieve its directors of monetary liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain circumstances, including a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the approval of an improper payment of a dividend or an improper purchase by the corporation of stock or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director with certain limited exceptions set forth in the DGCL.
 
Section 145 of the DGCL grants to corporations the power to indemnify each officer and director against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an officer or director of the corporation if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of each officer and director of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL also empowers corporations to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or director of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such officer or director against such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.

ITEM 17.
UNDERTAKINGS.
 
A.            
RULE 415 OFFERING
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)      To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and
 
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities in the Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to the purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
 II-3
 
 
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)      Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii)    The portion of any other free writing prospectuses relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv)    Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
B.     
Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents By Reference
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
H.      
Request for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-8
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to TG Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 filed today by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the sale by the Selling Stockholder (as defined in the Registration Statement) from time to time, of up to 216,294 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). This opinion letter is being rendered pursuant to Item 16 of Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.
 
We have examined the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), records of proceedings of the Board of Directors, or committees thereof, and records of proceedings of the stockholders, deemed by us to be relevant to this opinion letter, and the Registration Statement. We also have made such further legal and factual examinations and investigations as we deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the opinion set forth herein.
 
We have assumed that the terms of the Securities will have been established so as not to, and the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Securities, will not, violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) any agreement or instrument to which the Company is subject, (ii) any law, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject (except that we do not make the assumption with respect to Opined on Law (as defined below)), (iii) any judicial or regulatory order or decree of any governmental authority or (iv) any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with any governmental authority.
 
As to certain factual matters relevant to this opinion letter, we have relied conclusively upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records, agreements, documents and instruments, including certificates or comparable documents of officers of the Company and of public officials, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have made no independent investigations with regard to matters of fact, and, accordingly, we do not express any opinion as to matters that might have been disclosed by independent verification.
 
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
The shares of Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Offered Common Shares”) are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
The opinion set forth herein is limited to the DGCL, applicable provisions of the Constitution of the State of Delaware and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing, and federal laws of the United States of America to the extent referred to specifically herein (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined on Law”). We do not express any opinion herein concerning any other laws. We are not engaged in the practice in the State of Delaware; however, we are generally familiar with the DGCL as currently in effect and have made such inquiries as we consider necessary to render the opinion contained herein. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such laws or the interpretations thereof or such facts.
 
The opinion set forth herein is subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers, and (ii) general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. We express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any waiver of stay, extension or usury laws or of unknown future rights; or (ii) provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to federal or state securities laws.
 
No opinion may be implied or inferred beyond the opinions expressly stated herein. Our opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or any other matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect our opinion expressed herein.
 
We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part thereof. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
