EXHIBIT 4.1

Description of the Registrant’s Securities

Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

The following discussion summarizes the terms and provisions of the capital stock of Repro Med Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “our”). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part.

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 77,000,000 shares, of which 75,000,000 are designated common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 2,000,000 are designated preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of March 23, 2021, we had 44,405,165 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The common stock is the only class of the Company’s securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Common Stock

The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our stockholders and there are no cumulative rights. The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KRMD”. The stock transfer agent for our securities is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company of New York, New York.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which may be issued in one or more series upon authorization of our Board. Our Board is authorized to fix the designation of the series, the number of authorized shares of the series, dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences and any other rights, powers, preferences and limitations applicable to each series of preferred stock. Since no shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding, there are currently no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our preferred stock. The authorized shares of our preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. If the approval of our stockholders is not required for the issuance of shares of our preferred stock, our Board may determine not to seek stockholder approval.

A series of our preferred stock could, depending on the terms of such series, impede the completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt. Our Board will make any determination to issue preferred shares based upon its judgment as to the best interests of our stockholders. Our directors, in so acting, could issue preferred stock having terms that could discourage an acquisition attempt through which an acquirer may be able to change the composition of our Board, including a tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then-current market price of the stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Charter Documents

Provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain certain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company or otherwise take shareholder action. These provisions, for example:

- 1 -

| ● | empower our Board, without shareholder approval, to issue our preferred stock, the terms of which, including voting power, are set by our Board;
| ● | preclude cumulative voting in elections of directors;
| ● | permit our Board to alter, amend or repeal our amended and restated bylaws or to adopt new bylaws;
| ● | prescribe the procedure that a shareholder must follow to nominate directors or bring business before shareholders’ meetings; and
| ● | require the request of holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting to call a special shareholders’ meeting.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our restated certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where such liability is imposed under the New York Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”). The NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding unless (i) the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the director actually received an improper personal benefit; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe the act or omission was unlawful, provided however, that if the proceeding was by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made if the director is adjudged liable to the corporation. The Board may also indemnify an employee or agent of the corporation who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the corporation.

Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by the New York law and the federal securities laws, we must indemnify and, upon request advance, expenses to a director or officer made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding (other than a shareholder derivative action) by reason of such person being a director or officer, if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification would cover reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
