Preliminary Prospectus Dated September 5, 2024

Up to a Maximum of 21,527,925 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by the selling stockholders identified herein of up to 21,527,925 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of ANEW Medical Inc. These shares include (a) up to 11,500,000 shares of common stock that we may issue to investors upon the exercise of warrants originally issued as part of a unit sold in our Initial Public Offering, and (b) 10,027,925 of common stock currently held by certain other selling shareholders which includes (i) up to 415,000 shares of common stock that we may issue to Redwoods, LLC upon the exercise of warrants and (ii) up to 115,000 shares of common stock that we may issue to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC upon the exercise of warrants.

The Selling Stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time through public or private transactions at either fixed prices or prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or negotiated prices.

Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in such resales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection therewith. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. For more information, please see the section of this prospectus titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 30.

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders.

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “WENA.” On August 30, 2024, the average of the high and low sales prices of our common shares was $0.95 per share. These prices will fluctuate based on the demand for our common shares.

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase shares only if you can afford a complete loss. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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.
