PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUSSUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 12, 2025

Up to [*] Shares of Common Stock

Up to [] Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to [] Shares of Common Stock

Up to [*] Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants

This is a firm commitment underwritten offering of up to [*] shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“common stock”) or pre-funded warrants to purchase shares common stock in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”).

The assumed public offering price for each share of common stock or each Pre-Funded Warrant is $[], which is the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or the Nasdaq, on [], 2025. The final public offering price per share or per Pre-Funded Warrant will be determined through negotiation between us and the Underwriter (as defined hereinafter) based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the industry in which we operate and other market conditions at the time of pricing and may be at a discount to the then current market price of our common stock. Therefore, the recent market price of our common stock referenced throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price per share.

We are offering Pre-Funded Warrants to certain purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the 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 common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock. The public offering price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the price at which one share of common stock is sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be 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 a one-for-one basis.

This prospectus also includes the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. See “Description of Securities We Are Offering” in this prospectus for more information.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SHPH.” On February 10, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.704 per share.

We have retained WestPark Capital, Inc. as the exclusive underwriter with respect to this offering (the “Underwriter”). We have agreed to pay the underwriter fees totaling 4.0% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds actually realized by the Company from the sale of the shares being offered hereby. See “Underwriting” beginning on page 97 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

You should read this prospectus, together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” carefully before you invest in any of our securities.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 13 of this prospectus before you make your decision to invest in our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the 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.

Industry and Market Data

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate or plan to operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market share, is based on information from our own management estimates and research, as well as from industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information, our knowledge of our industry, and assumptions based on such information and knowledge which we believe to be reasonable. Our management estimates have not been verified by any independent source, and we have not independently verified any third-party information. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our company’s and our industry’s future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 42 below.

Basis of Presentation

On August 6, 2024, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “2024 Reverse Stock Split”), which became effective on August 13, 2024. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the 2024 Reverse Stock Split. However, our periodic and current reports, and all other documents that were filed prior to August 13, 2024, do not give effect to the 2024 Reverse Stock Split.
