Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:

Purchase Agreement

On May 17, 2022, Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Issuer”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Master Fund pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell and issue to the Master Fund 10,596,027 units (“Units”) in a private placement at a purchase price of $0.775 per Unit (the “Offering”). Each Unit consists of one unregistered pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 (collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and one unregistered warrant to purchase one share of common stock (collectively, the “Series E Warrants”, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). In the aggregate, 21,192,054 shares of the Issuer’s common stock are underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The Offering closed on May 19, 2022. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Issuer of the Offering were approximately $8.0 million. 

Each Unregistered Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock, is immediately exercisable, may be exercised at any time until exercised in full and is subject to customary adjustments. Each Series E Warrant has an exercise price of $0.63 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), is immediately exercisable, will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance and is subject to customary adjustments. The Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by the Master Fund (together with its affiliates) would exceed 9.99% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. However, the Master Fund may increase (upon 61 days’ prior notice from the Master Fund to the Issuer) or decrease such percentage, provided that in no event such percentage exceeds 9.99%.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Issuer.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.5, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Pre-Funded Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrant Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.6, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

Additionally, on May 17, 2022 and in connection with the Offering, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Master Fund, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to register for resale the Warrant Shares within 120 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the registration statement is not filed by the earlier of 30 calendar days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) if the registration statement has not been declared effective (A) by the 120th calendar day after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (or, in the event of a “full review” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the 150th calendar day after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement) or (B) within five trading days following the date the Issuer is notified by the SEC that the registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments, then the Issuer has agreed to pay the Master Fund, as partial liquidated damages, an amount equal to 1.0% of the Master Fund’s aggregate subscription amount paid pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Issuer.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.8, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Warrant Amendment Agreement

In connection with the Offering, the Issuer entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with the Master Fund, in consideration for the Master Fund’s purchase of approximately $8.0 million of Units in the Offering, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to amend certain previously issued warrants held by the Master Fund, as follows:

i.	the warrants issued on July 8, 2021 to purchase 4,773,269 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.97 per share, were amended by reducing the existing exercise price to the Exercise Price and extending the termination date of the warrant to January 8, 2029;
