Up to Shares of Common Stock

Upto Pre-Funded Warrants Up

to Common Warrants

Up to Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Common Warrants

and Pre-Funded Warrants

We are offering on a best efforts basis up to shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and up to common warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Common Warrants”), to be sold together with each share of common stock, at an assumed combined public offering price of $ per share and Common Warrant (based upon the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on , 2024). Each Common Warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share (100% of the combined public offering price per share of common stock and Common Warrant), will become exercisable commencing on the date of issuance, and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants(“Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu of shares common stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the combined public offering price per share of common stock and Common Warrant sold in this offering minus $0.001, the exercise price per share of common stock of each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on aone-for-one basis. Because we will issue a Common Warrant for each share of common stock and each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold. The shares of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrants) and the accompanying Common Warrants can only be purchased together in this offering, but the securities will be immediately separable upon issuance and will be issued separately. The shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Common Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are also being offered by this prospectus.

The actual combined public offering price per share of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant) and Common Warrant will be determined between us, the placement agent and the investors in the offering at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the current market price of our common stock. Therefore, the assumed combined public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

Our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC under the symbol “TIVC.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 22, 2024 was $1.39 per share. There is currently no established trading market for the offered Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. We do not intend to list the Common Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

The securities will be offered at a fixed price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. We expect this offering to be completed not later than two business days following the commencement of this offering and we will deliver all securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment/receipt versus payment upon receipt of investor funds received by us. Accordingly, neither we nor the placement agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the placement agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the securities offered hereunder.

We have engaged Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim” or the “placement agent”) as our exclusive placement agent to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase our securities in this offering. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and is not required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. We have agreed to pay the placement agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 98 of this prospectus for more information.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” each as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.”

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of the prospectus. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the information contained in this prospectus, before you invest.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
