EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is being filed for the purpose of registering up to an aggregate of 60,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Apyx Medical Corporation (the “Company”) for resale, consisting of an anticipated number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of performance-based non-qualified stock options (the “Inducement Options”) that were granted to certain employees of the Company and previously vested based on the passage of time and subject to continued employment (through the applicable vesting date), pursuant to: (i) the Stock Option Agreement effective as of August 27, 2014, by and between Apyx Medical Corporation and Todd Hornsby (the “Hornsby Stock Option Agreement”); and (ii) the Stock Option Agreement effective as of November 3, 2014, by and between Apyx Medical Corporation and Shawn Roman (the “Roman Stock Option Agreement” and together with the Hornsby Stock Option Agreement, collectively, the “Plans”). The Inducement Options issued pursuant to the Plans were granted outside of the Company’s previously adopted and registered share incentive plans, but are subject to similar terms and conditions. The Plans, Inducement Options, and the shares to be issued thereunder were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors as an inducement to such employee’s acceptance of employment with the Company in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange the Company was listed on at the time of such issuances.
This Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “Reoffer Prospectus”) prepared in accordance with General Instruction C and in accordance with the requirements of Part I of Form S-3. This Reoffer Prospectus may be used for reoffers and resales of “restricted securities” and “control securities” (as such terms are defined in Section C of the General Instructions to Form S-8) by the selling stockholders and maybe used on a continuous or delayed basis in the future, by the selling stockholders. The registration of the shares of our Common Stock covered by the Reoffer Prospectus does not necessarily mean that any shares of our Common Stock will be sold by the selling stockholders. The second part of this Registration Statement contains information required in the Registration Statement pursuant to Part II of Form S-8.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS
Apyx Medical Corporation
Up to an aggregate of 60,000 Shares of Common Stock
This reoffer prospectus (this “Reoffer Prospectus”) relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this Reoffer Prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to an aggregate of 60,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Apyx Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “Apyx”, “Apyx Medical”, “we”, “us”, “our”). This Reoffer Prospectus covers shares of Common Stock issuable to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to awards of performance-based non-qualified stock options (the “Inducement Options”) that were granted to certain employees of the Company and previously vested based on the passage of time and subject to continued employment (through the applicable vesting date), pursuant to: (i) the Stock Option Agreement effective as of August 27, 2014, by and between Apyx Medical Corporation and Todd Hornsby (the “Hornsby Stock Option Agreement”); and (ii) the Stock Option Agreement effective as of November 3, 2014, by and between Apyx Medical Corporation and Shawn Roman (the “Roman Stock Option Agreement” and together with the Hornsby Stock Option Agreement, collectively, the “Plans”). Specifically, this Reoffer Prospectus covers: (i) 30,000 shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of outstanding Inducement Options previously granted under the Hornsby Stock Option Agreement; and (ii) 30,000 shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of outstanding Inducement Options previously granted under the Roman Stock Option Agreement. We are not offering any shares of Common Stock and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus. Todd Hornsby, one of the Selling Stockholders is an executive officer, and may be considered an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).
Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions to vesting of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreements, and subject to any applicable restrictions, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to a purchaser, or through broker-dealers or agents. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the shares of Common Stock, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. We do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may offer the shares of Common Stock for sale. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 5 for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or dispose of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, including any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Stockholders.
Shares of Common Stock that are issued pursuant to the Inducement Stock Options granted to Mr. Hornsby will be “control securities” under the Securities Act before their sale under this Reoffer Prospectus. This Reoffer Prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by the Selling Stockholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without restriction, provided that the amount of
1

shares of Common Stock to be offered or resold under this Reoffer Prospectus by Mr. Hornsby or any other person with whom he is acting in concert for the purpose of selling shares of Common Stock, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.
Investing in our Securities involves substantial risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this Reoffer Prospectus for the factors you should consider before buying shares of our common stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this Reoffer Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this Reoffer Prospectus is November 16, 2023.

Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “aims,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Although forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus reflect our good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the regulatory environment in which the Company is subject to, including the Company’s ability to gain requisite approvals for its products from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other governmental and regulatory bodies, both domestically and internationally; the impact of the FDA Safety Communication on our business and operations; factors relating to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; sudden or extreme volatility in commodity prices and availability, including supply chain disruptions; changes in general economic, business or demographic conditions or trends; changes in and effects of the geopolitical environment; liabilities and costs which the Company may incur from pending or threatened litigations, claims, disputes or investigations.

We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance occurring after the date of this prospectus or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, our past results are not necessarily indicative of future results, thus, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus are being registered by Apyx for the account of the Selling Stockholders.
5

The shares of Common Stock offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Stockholder in one or more transactions on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other stock exchange on which our Common Stock may be listed at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.
In connection with their sales, a Selling Stockholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Stockholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. In addition to any shares sold hereunder, Selling Stockholders may sell shares of Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144. There is no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or a portion of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this Reoffer Prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Common Stock and activities of the Selling Stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our Common Stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) states:
(a) A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action arising by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
8

corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
As permitted under the DGCL, we have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

| • |  | Any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

| • |  | Any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

| • |  | Any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends under DGCL Section 174; or

| • |  | Any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
9

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
