NRS are amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the
liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as so amended. Our Articles of
Incorporation do not eliminate a director&#x2019;s duty of care and,
in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as
injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, will remain
available under the NRS. This provision also does not affect a
director&#x2019;s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the
federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our
bylaws, we are empowered to enter into indemnification agreements
with our directors, officers and employees to purchase insurance on

indemnify.</font></div>

entered into indemnification agreements with each of the
individuals serving on our board of directors. These agreements
provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest
extent permitted by law. We believe that these bylaw provisions and
indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors, officers and employees. We also

They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation

successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. Further, a

extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards

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 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.</font></div>

Registration Statement
) also covers an
indeterminate number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value
per share (
Common Stock
),
of VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (the
Registrant
) that may be offered or
issued by reason of stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions.  In addition, any shares subject to outstanding
options or other equity "Awards" (as defined in the
VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the
2019 Plan
)) under the 2019
Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expired, terminated, unearned
or settled in cash, which in any such case does not result in the
issuance of shares, shall be again available for issuance pursuant
to Awards granted under the 2019 Plan.
(2)
Shares
of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan
consist of (i) 7,500,000 shares registered pursuant to this
Registration Statement, plus, (ii) 1,388,412 unallocated
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Registrant's Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Incentive Plan

expired, terminated, unearned or settled in cash, which in any such
case does not result in the issuance of shares (the

General Instruction E on Form S-8, the registration fee is
calculated with respect to the additional securities registered on
this Form S-8 only.  Concurrently with the filing of this
Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a post-effective
amendment to the prior registration statement on Form
S-8 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the
Commission
) on March 9, 2018 (File
No. 333-223556) to cover the issuance of the Carryover
Shares.  For more details, please see the explanatory
note following this page.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this
Registration Statement
) is filed by
VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc.  (the
Registrant
) to register a total of
8,500,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share
(
Common Stock
), of which up
to 7,330,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued as new awards
under the Registrant's 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
(the
2019 Plan
), up to
170,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon exercise of a
previously issued stock option under the 2019 Plan (the
Stock Option
) and up to
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the
Registrant's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
2019 ESPP
and, together
with the 2019 Plan, the
Plans
).
With
respect to the 2019 Plan, shares of Common Stock initially reserved
for issuance under the 2019 Plan consist of (i) 7,500,000 shares of
Common Stock registered pursuant to this Registration Statement,
which amount includes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the previously issued Stock Option, plus (ii)
unallocated shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Registrant's Amended and Restated 2016 Stock Incentive Plan
(the
Prior Plan
) as of
September 5, 2019, the effective date of the 2019 Plan, that were
not subject to outstanding Awards (the
Carryover Shares
) and shares under the
2019 Plan that are cancelled, forfeited, expired, terminated,
unearned or settled in cash, which in any such case does not result
in the issuance of shares (the
Unused Shares
). On September 5, 2019,
at the Registrant's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
Registrant's stockholders approved the 2019 Plan to succeed
the Prior Plan. Upon stockholder approval of the 2019 Plan, no
future awards will be made under the Prior Plan.
With
regard to Unused Shares, such shares cover any shares subject to
outstanding options or other equity "Awards" (as
defined in the 2019 Plan) under the 2019 Plan that are forfeited,
expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of the
"Stock" (as defined in the applicable 2019 Plan), or if
any such Award is settled for cash or otherwise does not result in
the issuance of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such
Award (other than Shares tendered or withheld in connection with
the exercise of an Award or the satisfaction of withholding tax
liabilities), the Shares to which those Awards were subject, shall,
to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash
settlement or non-issuance, again be available for delivery with
respect to Awards under the 2019 Plan.
Concurrently with
the filing of this Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing
a post-effective amendment to its prior registration statement on
Form S-8 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the
Commission
) on March 9, 2018 (File
No. 333-223556) to cover the issuance of the Carryover Shares from
the 2019 Plan.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Limitations of liability and indemnification
Our
amended and restated bylaws (
bylaws
) provide that we will indemnify
our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent
permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes (
NRS
).
If the
NRS are amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the
liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as so amended. Our Articles of
Incorporation do not eliminate a director's duty of care and,
in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as
injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, will remain
available under the NRS. This provision also does not affect a
director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the
federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our
bylaws, we are empowered to enter into indemnification agreements
with our directors, officers and employees to purchase insurance on
behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to
indemnify.
In
addition to the indemnification required in our bylaws, we have
entered into indemnification agreements with each of the
individuals serving on our board of directors. These agreements
provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest
extent permitted by law. We believe that these bylaw provisions and
indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors, officers and employees. We also
maintain directors' and officers' liability
insurance.
The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our
bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against
our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties.
They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation
against our directors and officers, even though an action, if
successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. Further, a
stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the
extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards
against our directors and officers pursuant to these
indemnification provisions.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to our directors, officers and certain employees
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, 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.
There is no
pending litigation or proceeding naming us or any of our directors
or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we
aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in
claims for indemnification.

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:
(i)    To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and
(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; 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; and
(2)   That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, 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; and
(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.
Provided
,
however
,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement.
(b)   The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this 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
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 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.

requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of South San
Francisco, State of California, on September 30, 2019.
